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.

Hi Howard, you might be right, but maybe not on terms of Quest Items and other Collection Items.

I don’t know if you've completed all the quests, but to simplify the conditions:

You're a frequent player, so good for such experiments, so we could expect results in less time, LOL. I also think that you‘re fighting in the global leaderboard, so it isn’t an option for you to renounce your progress and to exclude foreign influences. So just play your game and search the same hidden object location 100 times per variation and continue to use a folio and hire any friends except of Rangers plus:

no luck talisman Allseeing Eye Eagle Eye Seeker Star

and

Gargoyle Artifact Allseeing Eye + Gargoyle Artifact Eagle Eye + Gargoyle Artifact Seeker Star + Gargoyle Artifact

Maybe use tools, but go through anomalies. How many CIs did you get? Were they the ones you wanted? What is the distribution of the fallen CIs in relation to the possible ones? I am waiting for your results. 😎😂🤓
