Looking for honset answer from Moderator

[polarbarez]

Ever since I asked about doing compass and anonymous threat ventures at the same time on this forum I now can only own 1
type at a time. I have earned 20 or so ventures in the last 3 months and once I get Anonymous and will never get compass.
Now in my star menu I have 5 Anonymous and 5 book of Characters but cannot get Compass. This does not seem like a coincidence
Question.
Both compass and Anonymous have large XP for completing Ali baba.
Did mgmt rig this to prevent running two high value ventures at the same time to prevent one adventure from fulfilling
both ventures?
Please advise and thank you.

I am pretty sure I have had all 3 at the same time. Pretty sure it is just random.

I haven't done Long Letters, however, a similar thing is going on with Short Letters (Side quests: Strange Idol, Annoholics, Sharp Claw). The drop chance of Annoholics always SEEMED a bit lower compared to the other 2. But after throwing in and monitoring the results of 500 crystals I was rewarded with 150 letters = 50 Quests and I ended with:

Strange Idol x20 (40%)
Sharp Claw x19 (38%)
Annoholics x11 (22%)

50 Quests is still a rather small amount to make major conclusions but it supports the feeling I had about it so I tend to believe the pattern would apply with more Crystals used and Letters created. Could be totally random but I see what you're saying polarbarez.
Not sure about others' experiences with it, though.

Have had them all, not sure about ratios but not much difference between them all.

Also, just to clarify, it's not the role of the MOD's to give these answers, they are simply players too who watch over chat and forum threads to make sure the content is acceptable.

It's completely random - there are no weighted ratios.

I also want to echo that MODs aren't Blue Byte staff, nor involved directly with the development of "The Settlers Online". They're players just like everyone else, who volunteer their free time to help moderate the in-game chat and forums to help foster a friendly atmosphere.
