It was a dark and lonely night

in the graveyard in DA. So I decide I'll take a tour of the place to look over the changes.

I spend about an hour in there "arresting" whatever I stumble upon. I garner 9 incarnate threads, 5 enhancements, 9 recipes (incl. 2 purples and an oblit), and assorted common and uncommon salvage.

I'm thinking that this is a fine place and I should visit more often.

So the next night I plan ahead and pop a windfall to see what that does to satisfy the acquisitive part of my nature...

...And color me unimpressed. I mean, I'm sure that I got 25% more inf. for my "arrests" in that hour but beside that. Yeah, no. I got 8 threads, 2 enhancements, 20 recipes (only one rare and it was the resuscitator temp power) and out of the assorted salvage, one rare. To add insult to injury, a few minutes after the windfall expired, an enhancement catalyst dropped...


Since this is the first time I've used a windfall it is obviously not at all statistically relevant. However I have heard of others having similar experiences. I'm curious as to what anyone else who has used them has had happen.

So many comments, so little time.

However, in the interest of not being modded, I'll just say no.


Anyway, aren't you the guy who had 3 recipe drops in one evening? iirc, 1 was during Iso's and the other 2 were in trails later that night.

Eh, it's like complaining about the few times you missed just after you used an Insight or hit Build Up. You remember those, but not the other times you miss as much.

Windfall increases odds, but it doesn't guarantee it. Random is random. You had better luck with purple drops without windfall than I have in the past 6 months (I've had one drop). It is what it is.
