WOWSERS!!! I've only seen triples with common items. With loot like that a jackpot might be extraneous. Of course if it was 3 Relics of St. Darqar...
If it's fake, it's a really good one. The ones in the chest are centered and level with each other, and the club reward looks properly shaded by the glass.
If I had the pictures, it would take me 5 minutes in photoshop. I call fake, I think he's making a point of his earlier miscalculation
i had that happen to me with Imp-proof Robes (finaly remember the game) but it was just after some patch where it was added to the game, so maybe that was because of that
It is a 100% legit one in a billion chance. But if you were interested in making a fake picture, I guess you could take the loot picture you posted earlier and use clone stamp tool in photoshop to get rid of those boots. The glass part could be a bit tricky so remember to use something like the Smudge tool to reduce the contrast between the colors. You could then take a picture of Vibrant Pain from the wiki and add three of those in the picture (press down Alt + Shift to duplicate an image with a perfect vertical alignment). For the "behind the glass" effect you could duplicate the background layer so that you would have two of them, and then add the 3rd picture between the two layers. Lastly you could just chance the top layer transparency to something like 50% so that the item looks like it is behind the glass.
I'll let the odds makers calculate the chance. Loot drops are more repetative than the linear distribution I'd expect. Without knowing the method used I'd just be making a blind guess. One in a billion seems a bit on the high side. Still, you might want to buy a lotto ticket.
I think one in a billion may be a few orders of magnitude off. I predict the odds of finding 3 vibrant pains in a standard chest to be approximately one in ten trillion. AKA: fairly unlikely For reference, you are 30 times more likely to pick a randomly designated star out of the entire milky way galaxy correctly.
Off-topic: wow, how can anyone have that much cash? I currently have 13. Yea, it's pretty unlikely. I was luckier than I thought.
A.) I have a lot of mandatory 'sitting around' time to spend on the computer. B.) Randimar hasn't been kind to me in a month or so. If nothing good shows up this week, I may buy 1,000 18gp chests just to see how that goes.
I currently have 17,215 and I'm not happy about it. I haven't seen any legendaries and very few epics worth buying in Randimar's in months and I usually clear about 2,500 - 3,000 gold a week without even farming the diamond levels beyond once a day completions. I do play more than most but still just maybe a couple of hours per day on average. Haven't measured it, though.
