Oh my god.. Wtf? I've been wasting mine then so bad.. I've been wasting them by the dozens.. Fuuck. How on EARTH is that a stackable effect though? It shouldn't even say stackable in the description if you can't actually stack the effect. That's a load of bullshit and its completely misleading! That's not a stackable effect, its a one-time effect that happens only when you use it! [b][i][u]Which is very fuucking different[/u][/i][/b]

  • It's just a bad choice of words. When you use one it adds a perpetual % chance for drop. If the buff goes away without a drop the next one adds additional % chance to the previous value. The chance is what "stacks" but only under specific conditions. They really need to clarify it and change the wording to avoid confusion.

  • It stacks, but the math works better used one at a time. Let's just pretend you have 3 coins lefts, and 3 ultras to kill. Let's also pretend the drop rate is +5% per coin. So, if you stack all 3 coins for the first boss, you'd get 15%, 0%, 0%. If the first one fails, you have 0% on the other two kills. Instead, use one per boss. 5% chance. If it fails, you use a second coin and it goes to 10%. You don't lose the 5% when it fails. If it succeeds, gratz, you got an exotic for 1 coin. Second ultra, either 5% or 10% chance of an exotic drop. Succeed, gratz, you got an exotic and still have a coin. If it failed, sorry, but use the last one for the last ultra. Third ultra, either 5%, 10% or 15% chance of a drop. Ideally, you could get 3 Exotic drops in a row, tho its a super tiny chance. But at worst, you still end up with a 15% on the 3rd ultra, which is what using all 3 on the first ultra would give. Hopefully that helps

  • This is incorrect. They have already stated this. The extra chance does not come until a kill is made and the buff is removed without an actual drop. Please don't spread misinformation.
