Using AE tickets for Recipe Rolls

If I roll out a handful of 20 lvl 10-14 bronzes, I almost always get at least one Steadfast 3%. Your mileage may vary. No guarantees implied.
You'll also get lots of junk, some Karma +KB Protections and the occasional... erm... whatever the low level +Regen IO is called. Doctored Wounds? There's a ToHit Buff set in that range that's worth some money as well but, again, the name escapes me.

Personally, I roll 25-29 golds. I used to roll 35-39 golds because statistically I think it is the highest percentage to get a Miracle: +Rec, Numina: Regen/Recov, and Lotg7.5% recharge speed based on the amount of recipes in the pool. But, I had horrible luck rolling that range, personally. So, I am back to rolling 25-29s again, and got a Miracle: +recove, and Lotg 7.5% on consecutive rolls, so am happy again. Got a Basilisk's Gaze quad too the next day
I use this option because on my farmer I generate tickets fast, and can turn them in every couple of runs through AE. Basically, 5 runs is enough to generate about 7000 tickets, or two of these rolls for me @ 3400/roll for the 25-29 Golds.I've got no patience for rolling 1000 bronze's even if overall I could end up with more overall profit by doing so. It's just not worth it time-wise for me to sift through and delete a bunch of recipes for a few good ones. lol.
Thanks those are both great suggestions. I just wasn't sure of the range to take a roll in.
Too bad we can't get a Glad +3 out of it.

Every time I roll gold, I get a Snipe-y McSniperton: Chance to Suck IO for my 3500 tickets.
Apparently this is because other people are making up the curve 
When I was generating Reward merits for rare recipes [equiv to Gold] I would never roll just one at a time; when you roll two at a time you're much more likely to get ONE thing that doesn't suck. Of course, I didn't want to be discouraged because I was going to keep doing it anyway.

For Bronze ticket rolls:

The only pools I roll are Bronze 10-14 (For the steadfast +def, regenerative tissues +Regeneration, and the occasional Basilisk Gaze or Rectified Reticle.) and Silver 10-14 or Silver 35-39. The 35-39 offers some nice lotg Def/End, Touch of Death, Kinetic Combat, and Numina recipes. However, the Silver 10-14 is my favorite because of the Achilles heal proc, Rectified Reticle proc, Basilisk Gaze Recipes, Eradications, and a bunch of other goodies. Overall, Silver 10-14 gives me a lot of things i slot in my characters, but there are also a lot of recipes than can easily net you 50-150mil crafted and the recipes that aren't stellar can still go for 5-20mil crafted.

This is good advice. I had a level 20 toon that I was planning on deleting, but noticed she had about 5000 AE tickets. I decided to try the 10-14 bronzes. At the end of it all, I had 4 level 20 steadfast protection: - kb's, 4 steadfast protection: res/def, 1 steadfast protection: res/end, 1 karma: -kb protection. Those were the big winners. Not bad for 5000 tickets. |

I like the 35-39 pool. I get a steady supply of Reactive Armor, Smashing Haymaker, Thunderstrike, and Kinetic Combats, and there are plenty of other great sets I get a less steady supply of. So even when I don't get something great, I always have something good.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

If I ticket cap a map and roll them all I'm pretty much guaranteed one or two GREAT recipes (20-50m crafted), a handful of 'good' ones (5-10m crafted) several 'okay' recipes that I delete as not worth my time (~1m or so) and a bunch of junk that also gets deleted.
But basically, if you roll enough tickets any bronze pool will make you a fat pile. Go with whatever feels right.

Can someone tell me what the best item to try to acquire with AE tickets would be? I'm thinking recipes....
I searched the forum and really couldn't come up with anything, but I have a decent amount of left over tickets, from before the AE nerf, and I'd like to try an get something like a Steadfast 3% or something of that nature.
It's been a long time since I tried but if I recall doing certain rolls gave better chances of success for recipes like that.
Anyone have a suggestion?
