Hey all, I decided to return back to the game in an attempt to hunt down the components of the Grand Solstice ring in order to obtain it for collection purposes (as it occured to me that I have items from every game event except Winterfest)
My goal here is to do at least 100 runs before the Grinchlin Assault missions are over. I've also decided to make a sheet that documents all of the loot I've obtained from the runs I have completed so far, so in a way this is basically loot drop data. Ofc since it's only gonna be like ~100 entries when everything's done, it's definitely too small a sample size to derive any meaningful conclusion to the drop rates of solstice rings, but in case anyone out there still values and collects data like these, well, 'ere it is!

It's still a sheet that is going to be updated semi-frequently until Winterfest is over as I continuously do more and more runs. A few things to note:
1) These entries reflect only MY loot, not anyone else who may have joined me for the journey...since this is a personal loot table
2) All the runs done so far are complete runs, no partial runs
3) I have all the screenshots of every run saved...dunno how significant this is but it's in case anyone wants to see proof
4) No grinchlin snowballs, I noticed it too late and frankly I'd rather not go through all my runs again to count the number of snowballs I've amassed
And lastly, well, if the event ever finishes without me getting the gold ring (I got the silver ring on my 43rd run :D), hit me up if anyone has a gold ring to sell, I would be delighted to purchase it and complete the Grand Solstice ring <3
After a total of 71 runs, I have finally obtained the Golden Solstice Ring, thereby allowing me to craft my very first Grand Solstice Ring! So to summarise...
Silver Solstice Ring was obtained on Run 43.
Golden Solstice Ring was obtained on Run 71.
I will still be continuing to do my runs, as I have a spare Silver Solstice Ring which I had purchased at a bargain price. Hoping to get another Golden Solstice Ring so I can have 2 Grand Solstice Rings :3
