Got another 40+ mesh boots last night in a late night farming run. While I was looking for white mesh boots, I had a couple of nice drops. 145% increased quantity and 66% increased rarity paying off.

Went through my first stash of mesh boots rather quickly, giving most away to TheRabbit, if anyone else needs them, whisper @me in game or shoot me a PM.

Nice finds! :) Appreciate the efforts, man. I'd take ya up on the boots, but I'm about all out of chance orbs at the moment; gotta farm some more up soon - bit sidetracked raising an auratank at the moment though.

Even if they wanted to stop players from exploring the game statistically, they couldn't. I don't quite understand the folks saying it's better left a mystery. If you like it being a mystery, don't look at the numbers. :P

By people, you mean me and you missed the point. The point I was trying to make is that the devs have their reasons for keeping things quiet as Chris noted. People will get angry, they will feel entitled. The more information that is available, the more 'experts' there will be. Which means more opinions on how the game 'should' work and what the devs 'should' be doing. As I said, this is not an opensource project.

Obviously people will make a concerted effort to find out the numbers on their own. There is nothing wrong with that and I fully support it. Great games need something left to mystery. Part of the charm of mystery mechanics is that it gets the community more involved and is generally fun for everyone. It's fun for the devs to sit back and watch us rack our brains, and it's fun for the community to figure out the secrets.

As for my own results:

20 Magic
05 Rare

25 Total Orbs

I have a few chances to roll, and I rolled a few more (all turned into blues) but I'll get you the exact numbers when I get home from work, gotta be accurate. My luck getting yellows has been terrible, about 0:1:8 uniques, yellows, blues.

Gotcha, FaceLicker.

Looking forward to it, TehHammer.

Rolled 7 more on mesh boots, 6 blue, 1 yellow.

Got it

Rolled 6 more, 3 blue, 3 yellows.

I don't have any numbers yet, but I will have a ton of statistics for you soon. I am trying to fill 1 entire stash tab (144 slots) with gold rings. Once I do, I'll be using Chance Orbs on all of them in one sitting!

I REALLY hope I get a unique. I'll post the numbers here once I collect enough rings.
