It seems that a lot of people have complained about poor results from Essence Of Drackonack lately. Is is possible that it was downgraded to have a lower percentage?
If anyone can post test results that would be great.
Yes, it's horrible, sell them all to me cheap.
I've been thinking about buying some up (I'm on the home stretch at 639 strength). And having no luck with K-quests or Strength Serums. How many would need to be used before it's considered a decent test?
/Remembers something about needing 30 to have a Standard Normal Distribution from a statistics course *shudder*
Final Update: Used 126
Essence of Drackonack and with big help from the lab ray this morning I'm at the 700 boost
0 strength = 74%
1 strength = 13%
2 strength = 13%
Chance of getting an increase = 26%
Str points per bottle = .39 (this could be read as 39% for x strength out of x uses)
Cost Per Str = 158,367
And I don't now how I feel about that 'x strength out of x uses" stat on the original testing. I got right at 40% also but it just doesn't seem like a logical number. I guess though it's an easy way of saying EoD is 40% likely to give you 1 strength.
atleast 30 technically, but people feel safer with 50 if not 100/150/200/250/500/1000

I know where you're going with that and I agree, but I think the majority of people find it easier to understand the arguement of spending X amount will equal 1 stat point (on average).... The same goes for the amount tested: people tend to like easily divisable amounts so they can do the calculation easier. 50/100/200 being the most common ones
yugioh7_2001 spits out the Essence of Drackonack. YUCK!!!
I only tested one because I knew it wasn't going to work
I tried 3 or 4 a few months ago and none of them gave me Str. They really must've downgraded it
The 40% chance of getting a strength and the 150,000np per strength is still holding steady after 30 tries but the chance of it doing nothing is up to 77%.
That seems like a big turn-off to anyone who's just using 1 or 2 of these things; getting 8 "YUCK"s in row just about made me go bonkers when I first started.
I think if you guys accumulate enough tests, I'll clear the old test results and post a new one, as the old one isn't very clear about the results.
A few things to note:
These things are really easy to inflate, a couple of resellers shot the price up well above 70k and I had to wait a week for it to come down. Seems like these would not be good for massive use unless you slowly accumulate them; picking off cheap ones when you can.
On a related note they restock for I think ~5000 NP at Kayla's Potion Shop, if you have halfway decent restocking skills you can just pick them up there.
At one point I used 17 in a row without getting any strength, no wonder these things have a bad rep.
