Trinket clarification.

Hi, I think I understand the posted explanation of how the trinket's percentages work. Two question/suggestions: First, when purchasing them, I thought the brass horn decreased my chance of nothing by 55% and the wooden wand increased my chance of mana by 55%. Once they were equipped the font changed to a clearer, green font and it appears that it's 5.5 in both cases. I assume that's a font glitch not a "joke."
Second-- I use the BW trinket and the ancient amulet, but I don't think my energy regenerates to full. Is that a glitch or intentional?

Hi Carolyn,

The . is a little small in the font, but it is definitely there in the store.

Health should regenerate to the max level, I just did a test to see and I definitely gained energy to max with the BW Trinket. When buying energy or using anything that refers to your base max energy trinkets are not included.

Hi David, Thanks for the fast reply. I'm sure the . is there, just you may want to warn people or not use it (i.e., 5% or 6%?). It certainly fooled me for a day.
I'm using two energy trinkets-- the BW and the +10 one from the BW2 store. I'll try to be a better reporter, but I think there are occasions other than buying energy where the regeneration stopped short of the max with both trinkets.
If I understood correctly, something that refills half my energy wouldn't include trinkets. What about the regeneration while I sleep? -Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

The regeneration while you sleep is what I am referring to. It is possible you just arrived before it was finished refilling fully.

What are the basic drop rate for items ?
And what are calculations for + % trinkets ?
For example + 5% trinket... base mana drop rate is x% (maybe x=20)
Calculation is 20+5=25 % or 20x1,05=21 % ?

Hi David -- When I started playing, mmm, about 20 minutes ago, my energy was at 190 0f 205. Seems like only one of the 2 energy trinkets filled. I'll go calculate it, but 8+ hours with the lollipop should have been long enough for 200 pts, right?

Clemonde
the base calculation is:

maxenergy/12/x = duration in hours

x stands for the energy per tick

for your energy:

205/12/2 = 8,54 hours 8h32mins

Hi Carolyn,

Hmm lets see, you stopped with 1 energy at 21:29 and started again with 199 energy at 5:46. That is 8 hours 17 minutes or (497 minutes). Without any tick time bonuses the energy tick is every 5 minutes so that is 99 ticks which at 2 energy per tick is 198 energy. Add in the 1 you had to start and that adds to 199. So that looks like everything is working correctly.

Hi David, Thanks. I had calculated it the other way (24 per hour) and realized it was pretty close to correct. I'll just have to whack and find somebody with a trinket that speeds up the refill and/or the amount per tick. Love those.
