Melody - thank you for your reply. That is what the description of the talisman says  it does. However it does NOT do that currently. Which is why I asked.

Jp,

Thank you for your reply. Your formula suggests that if the “baseline drop rate” is 10% (as it is after exploring a location) then the Gargolye increases the chance to 16%. Is that what you intended? I would have assumed from the description that it would be increased to 70%.

In the current release, I see no increase on the chance of finding CIs when running the Gargolye by itself. It remains very low. Which is why I posted. Is the Gargoyle broken as of this release?

After further testing I have found one interesting effect. The Gargolye can be run simultaneously with another luck talisman, such as Seekers Star. In this case, initially, there is no discernible  effect - only the increase in chance supplied by the Seekers Star. However, after the Star runs out in 2 hours, the Gargolye then continues to provide the effect of the Star for 3 days. Specifically, the chance of receiving a CI is near certainty and on occasion 2 CIs.

In other words, the Gargoyle is acting to extend the time of a luck talisman it is combined with to 3 days. Has anyone else noticed this?

I am well supplied with Gargoyles at the moment. If anyone has suggestions on how to test them, I would be happy to try. If anyone believes the Gargoyle is working as advertised, I am willing to test that as well, given a detailed scenario.

Thank you for reading.
