So I'm running through arcade and I end up meeting a Mewkat!.

In the same dive I also pick up a Kamarin. (yes I have reported to the item drop thread)
I blurred names for the privacy of other parties involved.

Have you had any strings of incredible luck? (Don't really wanna hear about how you found an eternal orb)

Two Books of Dark Rituals in

Two Books of Dark Rituals in one night. :'3

I think I used up all of my SK luck for the next few years tho, I bought five boxes each promo since then and haven't really gotten anything that great, haha.

Incredible Luck?

Well, this one time an underground house had been RNGed right into the entrance of the Jungle Temple. I found the house, made a few fotifications, and then got into the Temple without needing the Temple Door Key! This was insanely lucky because it meant I got to skip FOUR bosses! All I had to do was rewire all the traps to kill the Golem, then I would have end game gear before I even got started! What luck!

Oh wait, you want luck from Spiral Knights?

...

I found an Eternal Orb once.

Insane luck? I found 5 sparks

Insane luck? I found 5 sparks within an hour. Which is pretty much the most luck I probably ever got. I also got a free shadow party hat from a leaving player randomly in haven but Idk if that counts.

Want the actual odds?
I have been monitoring rare monster rates and treasure box contents here.
That being said, I'm getting close to 1k boxes opened since the last known change (but not announced) to box drops with no recorded equipment drops (I did get one, but on a run I wasn't recording).
Rare monsters can be found as comments (currently 6 rock jellies and 1 love puppy recorded) in a total of 374 arcade depths (since Jan).

I would venture to guess the odds of seeing both a rare monster and an equipment drop in a single arcade run (from D1-28) would be less than 0.01% chance. That being said, I don't have a good enough estimate to say much more than "really rare".

Rolling uvs and getting asi med on my storm driver.

Rolled again and got the exact same uv for my nova driver. (I know they're med but when's the last time YOU got two good uvs in a row from punch.)

And on my very first crafted bomb which was a freezing vaporizer, I got ctr very high. I didn't know what kind of black magic it was at the time when I first started playing this game but as I slowly learned more and more I realized the snipe gods themselves blessed me.

It's a shame

I found two Love Puppies sitting beside each other, could've healed up from 1% health if one fun-killing Apprentice didn't kill them both

;-;

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

If I was soloing, I would have left them to love on each other. :P

@Thread

I got a Cool Wolver tail...does that count?

@OP: I'm a beta player and I've only seen two Mewkats. So...the odds are low.
