    Loot Fairy guarantees two* Rare, two Uncommons, and has a higher than normal upgrade rate. The ____(_) indicates the four items plus the club reward.

    You could have gotten a second shot if you had not logged out of the game before getting the fairy for the first time (and you hadn't completed the Loot Fairy adventure before the reset). In other words, while your game is running, the adventure reset time passing has no effect. The adventures only reset after you log out. You can complete the Loot Fairy adventure, log out/in and get the good loot again.
    Everyone who left their game running over the reset time could get it twice. The move and reset happening at the same time had no effect on this. This happened 5.5 hours ago, by the way. The next time the Loot Fairy moves is at 01:00 UTC Sunday, May 11th.

    Basically Jarmo already hit the points... but the LF move at reset happened at the most recent reset, it won't move until an hour after the next reset, so if you log on between 00:00 and 01:00 UTC you'll be able to get it at the Wizard's Workshop again.

    No, happened at reset yesterday (so reset +1 hour today). And as you could see people had the fairy twice.

    URRE (E) means Uncommon Rare Rare Epic (and epic for the club chest)
    Some collect the data in order to know what are the fairy drop odds.

    By the way:
    RRRL-E

    Snobbit Pipe
    and Sparking Shell for the club

    You are telling me I can get 3 fairies a day?
    One from "previous" day if I wait till the fairy move time but don't log out so adventures won't reset.
    One after the fairy has moved.
    And 3rd one before the fairy moves again but after adventures have reset again.
    That's a lot of fairies :p

    I don't follow that 100% but if you could ever somehow get it 3 times within 25 hours I intuit it's not possible to repeat that the next day. You can get it twice in a 24-hour period indefinitely.

    I just drew a timeline to myself for that reason, too :D

    Edited again. I had it wrong again.

    Can I get the loot fairy from a new adventure without logging out after he had moved?
    If yes, then I think it's possible to choose whether you want 1+3 fairies or 2+2 fairies from 2 consecutive days.

    Would that require getting one or more of them within the shorter time window between the adventure reset and the fairy move? That is, within the hour between 00:00 and 01:00 UTC tomorrow night?

    Could you please explain your idea in more detail, with an example split into actual time blocks if possible? As you noticed, it's hard to wrap your head around the concept. I know I struggled enough with the twice-a-day thing, let alone this.

    Yes. I missed one today because I was asleep until after reset and my game had crashed, but I should have a 1 hour window to get it again tomorrow.
    A big color-coded time grid that showed the possible LF windows and shifted with the LF move time could make it obvious, but I don't know how to build one.

    Yes, yes it does. Other than that, yes, it seems possible to get the Lot Fairy three times a day! Very well spotted, Feleran! I drew the timeline on paper myself to finally see it.

    Getting it 3 times would require being up between 3 and 4 AM tomorrow night for me. Let's see whether I'm that fanatical about it :). Well, it's the weekend, I might still be up anyway then...

    Sorry, I don't understand that. Can you ask it another way? I'll write a detailed explanation of how the fairy works in the next post, maybe that will clarify it.

    Let's say fairy moves at 17.00 and adventures reset at 00.00.
    If I've been logged in for hours and the clock hits 17.00, fairy moves to, say, from War Monkeys to Cardstock.
    Can I get it from Cardstock at 18.00 if I haven't logged out for many hours by now?

    The Card Hunter Loot Fairy process:
    1) Player completes a single player adventure.
    2) The loot request is sent to the game server.
    3) The server sends back the item IDs the player got. If the Loot Fairy was in this adventure, the loot is higher grade.

    The player can only get Loot Fairy loot from an adventure during the 25-hour period the fairy is located in that adventure. Not before it or after it. The server decides when the player gets it. The state of the players' game client has no effect on this.

    If the player starts the Loot Fairy adventure before the move but completes it after the move, she won't get the Loot Fairy loot as the server sees the fairy was not there at the moment the loot request came in.

    The players' game client affects the process only in when the player can play the right adventure. Each completion locks the adventure. Any adventure resets that happen during the 25-hour Loot Fairy residency grant another chance to get the good loot. The player needs to log out and back in each time to get the adventure unlocked for another dip in the golden pool.

    OK, thanks, thought so.

    Yes, you can. You can get the Loot Fairy any time the adventure containing it is unlocked in your game client. If the adventure reset happened after that, you can log out and back in after getting the Fairy for the first time and immediately get it a second time.

    Man, I can't wait to try to explain this 3-dip thing to other players :). Two was hard enough already. How did we get to university level mathematic concepts with the poor widdle loot fairy dwarfette? It's a rough enchanted life to be sure for him. I guess that's what you need the long beard for, both in universities and in Cardhuntria.

    If you get it three times on a given day, you can only get it one time the day after. Two times a day is the average, people shouldn't bother making it otherwise.
