Weekly Issue 17March2011 - St. Patrick's Day

Hi agents,

Today is St. Patrick's Day and that means St Patrick's Ghosts are back to town ! 

As most of you are aware, there have been some interesting updates related to the newly introduced attribute Leprechaun's Luck (LL).

Basically it's similar to Overdrive, but regardless the type of mechanism you're using. In other words, you have a slight chance of getting an 'Overdrive' (reset your CD to 3 second) after successfully catching a ghost. Here are the things that now possess LL attribute :

Leprechaun

Now, Leprechaun got +3% LL additional stats !

Pot of Gold & Rainbow Pot of Gold (New Items !)

The new drop from St. Patrick's ghost, Pot of Gold, with +2% LL. For donators, there is the upgraded version; Rainbow Pot of Gold, with +5% LL.

Lucky Punch (New Mocktail !)

DESCRIPTION - The lucky punch is a mocktail that radiates pure luck to those who even touch the glass.

A new recipe that is currently available only from donating $10, you can see the stats below.

To mix, combine 2 SilverStarGreen + 4 Widow Tears for 2 Lucky Punch or 2 Nessy + 4 Widow Tears for 4 Lucky Punch.

Lucky Agent ID

Available after donating for Leprechaun / Rainbow Pot of Gold; adding another +1% LL (unfortunately they don't give the ID to agents already buying Leprechaun before this new update)

Personal Suggestion

I don't see Rainbow Pot of Gold worth buying if you already have Pot of Gold, just imagine $20 for an additional of 3 LL, which is not sigifnicant at all..

Lucky Punch is actually a good all-round recipe although compared to Black Widow, it's overwhelmed almost in all aspects except the 5% XP bonus and the 2% LL stats. Nevertheless, if you're too lazy to go back to R2 to farm Midnight Apple Juice for Black Widow, you might want to buy Lucky Punch's recipe instead. 

Most importantly, as St Patrick's ghost is seasonal, don't forget to hunt them 'till u get the Pot of Gold and the Souvenir : Four-Leaf Clover. But honestly, they are just too common, I've caught around 90+ of them so it shouldn't be hard for you to get both in time. And try to reduce your midnight attraction, since he doesn't seem to appear at midnight time (from my observation and others in forum).

4 in a row, with Glengreen !

Side Note about LL

If you are curious in understanding how LL affects your t/sc, just use this simple formula to get the new expected t/sc (assuming you catch 100% of the ghosts) -> (Normal t/sc in second * (100-LL) + 3 ssecond * LL ) / 100

For instance, if your t/sc is 2 minute and you have 5 LL, you can expect your new t/sc to be around (120*95+3*5)/100 = 114.15 second, around 1.9 minute.

Before ending this post, you might have seen the announcement that Haunted Week VI is coming soon (see here if you haven't). I'll try to make some guide on what you can do on this HW, including the souvenirs later on, so stay tuned for my next post and happy hunting !!
