Grudge towards this current IW

It's Everyone's Grudge.

Sounds more like to me that you've been lucky in previous IW's.

Same. I've run 170+ orbs on Dandelga and Angel Slayer in total and have yet to see a rare roll or a 15% ATK roll. What's with the garbage 1% and 3% rolls on the last few floors?

Yeah I've been pretty good with luck in the past but I've used 150 of those refills and have not seen a single rare 😅

RNG is RNG

and have never missed a hammer

I never actually got the Mic Stand. Otherwise I have all the hammers.

No rares for me this time as well. Best ive gotten on a large sword is like 22% atk total

This IW seems the same to me. I spend lapis to refresh for good rolls but I haven't noticed a change in rates. Actually I got really lucky this time. 1 run and I had the rare and a couple good abilities on my Buster Sword. So honestly all I can say is the ol' "RNG is RNG."

I haven't seen any rare stats for the past t months... so far I am at 50+ IW tries and I have yet to grab more than 15%HP on my Lilith Mace :x

My luckiest IW in a long while.

Random loot is random.

Get my boosted rare after 15 or more full runs (i did used a lot of orbs bottle) for my GS. Then get 40% atk for my sparky in like 3 full runs (i just let the orbs regen themselves). RNG can be really meh sometime. Just be patience.

I'm going to be perfectly honest, I think you're onto something here.

Back when IW started, things were pretty random but it felt generous nontheless. You could get what you wanted eventually, if you just kept at it for long enough...

Then the "2nd Floor good abilities for knives" bug happened, and I feel like after they patched that, things got far less... uh... fair? I started seeing things like 1% atk on floor 9 and 10, and the likes. That never happened before, and suddenly it became almost the norm.

Maybe it's paranoia. Maybe I don't even feel like giving Gimu the benefit of the doubt anymore. Whatever the reason, when it comes to me, I think they over-tweaked the chances on the lower end, in order to get more Lapis-refreshed runs from whales. And I say this without any proof, fully aware of how stupid it may sound. But well, it wouldn't surprise me the least if it turned out to be true.

This IW have been a joke for me.

After getting a rare on Sparky at the first run (but 0% additional attack), I failed to get anything above 7% attack on a great sword, decided to do fangbreaker for some HP... and got 10%, 12% and 15% attack on floor 8, 9 and 10. fuck you item world!

Exactly this post.
I've been saving refresh orbs from previous IW till now and even used lapis refreshes but not only are the rare's rarer but every single run the stats available are almost everything but what I'm after; and I don't think I've seen more than 5 +15% stats over this entire IW ... and only DEF or SPR ... and only for G. Swords, Guns and Maces ....

Have actually had an opposite experience and gotten more rares/higher values then I have on any previous IW. This is mostly why anecdotal experience is never something to rely on, that and the fact that the human ability to gauge statistics are horrible.

Three rares (no refreshes), and a few other weapons over ~20-25% primary stat and 10-15% off-stat already. Usually, I'm lucky to get 2 weapons to a 'comfortable' state of buffage, this round I've had 5.

I have seen dozens of +15% stats, I have only seen 12% a few times. I hate 12% anyway. I get 10% nearly every run. I have run the same GSword over 30 times looking for the rare and gotten 20-25% ATK on all but 3 runs. Sadly no luck on that darn rare skill. It is all RNG.

I have not had any problem finding ATK on my physical weapons. MAG on my rods, HP on my hammers/maces.

These threads have popped up without fail during every single IW since the first one. They all claim there is all sorts of rigged shenanigans and other conspiracies. It is almost as bad as people on Facebook claiming every single banner is rigged, because they spent 12 tickets and did not get 3 STMRs.

My experience? Mmmm sometimes I get jack shit, sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I get super lucky. Other times I get trolled with rare enhancements when I'm looking for something else entirely. RNG at its best.

One very odd thing I've noticed however... Almost all my elemental weapons have +10% hp, +7% atk and +10% atk (tonitrus, FBA, lightbringer from Dabih, sturdy umbrella, hyomonto, explosive spear). It's purely coincidental, funny nonetheless.

Believe I've gotten 7 rares this run with no lapis recharging at all.

Definitely some super luck, but doesn't corroborate your similarly isolated sample.

Sounds like any IW week to me. I haven't had as nearly good results as back when it first started. The first 2 or 3 weeks it felt to me like 12% and 15% (of the desired stat) was quite common compared to the last 3 IW runs where I have had the shittiest luck.

I got more rare abilities than I have seen 15% and 12% atk/mag modifiers and I'm not the luckiest with getting rare abilities.

Well as long as there is no proof, I iust have to accept that RNG is RNG, no matter how much I feel like the rates are weighted heavily towards lower stats even in higher stages (which imo should reward you with better modifiers but why the hell do I keep getting 1 - 5 % stats above stage 7?)

I got zero rare abilities in the very first IW despite using nearly all the orbs and refresh pots. Bad RNG is bad RNG.
