Pearl related question inside.
 

So yeah I just counted and it took me posting 7 times to get a signet pearl. I mean did I do something wrong? I mean totaled up in two pearls I would have only gotten 410 pearls XP Yes I am using my mule but thats because I wanted to get another set. But seriously 7 posts? I mean I'm not trying to con trisphee or anything. Hardly. But what is the reason for this?

EDIT: Oh and now I get one for posting one post? Now I'm thoroughly confused.

go to the 'all items' options, you have to 'use' it first

Did not know about this o.o

It's a 'new' feature- instead of bundles being un-bundled upon purchase, you now have to 'use' them from the usable items tab. This makes it easier to collect, store, and sell/trade bundles. *nods*

And, might I add, freaking genius. <3

^ This one owo

I think Fenris answer that same question in a different thread in this corner

This answered my question. Is this going to be the standad approach to bundles now or is it just for this event?

this is going to be the way bundles will function from now on.

Updated my question.

Demo, after 350 Pearls the amount of posts it takes to get pearls rises. Though it shouldn't rise that much unless you have received....oh like...2000 ish pearls, that's not an exact number just approximate. If you have traded or bought any pearls I wonder if its causing a problem to. I will have coda look into it asap.

Well I did transfer 11 runes from my mule a little while before if that helps out with your problem solving. It seems to be working now though : ) Hope I could help if there was a problem Fen.

as soon as i hit my cap my number went to like 1:7 i actually gave up on earning them^^:

That is odd, the cap should be 1:2 after 350 pearls. I will definitely have Coda look into it. It shouldn't be THAT hard yet. We were trying to get a system that allowed you to get pearls but made it a bit harder than other events because everyone kept telling us our events were to easy.

Master thinks that this is a good idea. Also he thanks you for looking into it : 3

The odds all seemed to work right for me in testing... *frowns*

so...is it after you earn that many or that many are in your 'bank' so to speak? I tend to spend them as soon as they accrue, so I'll never have more than 50 in bank, so will it know when I've already hit 350 cumulatively?

It's cumulative that you've earned total.

dang, and here I was hoping I could fool it LOL

double posting cause I'm no longer getting pearls as I post. I just watched and I posted four times and got not one pearl. Now, I've gotten to the point I should get one for every two posts, but still.

Edit, make that five posts and none.
Edit 2, it took seven posts to get one pearl.
Edit 3, so it was only for my 47th pearl that it did this, it's now back to working at 2:1

whether you get a pearl for a post or not is random. it's not going to be a perfect every-other-post deal.

Think of it this way: Every time you make a post, either a 1 or a 2 is chosen randomly. If it's a 1, you get a pearl. if it's a 2, you don't.
it's possible to have a bunch of non-pearl posts in a row this way through sheer bad luck. But it's also possible to get a bunch of pearl gaining posts in a row as well.

ah, well then I misread earlier, so thanks for the knowledge
