When was the last time a heart trinket dropped?
Sun, 12/11/2011 - 02:01
So I know that love puppies are rare, and heart trinkets are rare stacked on top of rare, but it occurred to me that (as far as I've heard, at least) love puppies are the only monster that has a chance to drop a piece of equipment, and being a programmer myself I know that these sorts of one-off things with rare activations have a tendency to "silently fall into disrepair" as changes and updates happen elsewhere in the codebase.
Thus, I'm wondering if anyone can report when they last heard of a heart trinket dropping from a love puppy.
Not that I don't trust Nick to keep the code in tip-top shape...

There are a few True Love Lockets out there, so they do exist, but are certainly quite rare.

@Nick
Glad to know trinkets will soon be available in other ways. Then I can save the 30kce otherwise paid for a tetra heart trinket.

Yes, the only player I've seen equipped with 2 True Love Lockets is a player named Levis. He's the leader of the guild Edwin. Probably one of the few players in this game with equal financial power as Rubyeclipse, if not more.

Yay
I can now stop whining about how imbalanced those trinkets are in LD.
Thanks Nick~

I love this disscussion. Thanks for chiming in on this one Nick!
True Love Lockets will remain exclusively the property of a Love Puppy's BFF.-Nick
btw I tried to ^cite^ (less one s and replace with C or ye can not see), did not work out well. I digress.
Most likely the best of the pendents fall from T3 Pups. Just meh hpothesis.
That is not all.

Killed 4 or 5 in T2. No luck... Maybe make it more rare, but with 100% guarantee of drop? Even +1, but drop.

Hmm...
I wonder if I should put my luck (wait, what luck?) to the test and farm puppy-spam levels.
I also want to become the Love Puppy's BFF. :(

Psycho: If it helps, I've seen ~10 love puppies and I've never seen them drop a trinket. At least all you're missing is the companionship of something that truly loves your. ;)

What do you mean by upgrades?
You will be able to craft it up to 4 star? and by other means do you mean featured auctions, that might be unfair to the less fortunate knights.....

@Nick Thanks for the confirmation. I was starting to feel bad about killing them after never seeing them drop anything but a few coins, some heat, and maybe a scrap metal.
But now that I know I can still eat their hearts to gain their courage, my sword will remain swift and merciless.

You may become a Love Puppy's
You may become a Love Puppy's BFF by allowing it to kiss you. They are actually madly in love with knights and do not care if they get ripped apart by their love's weapons. That is actually the greatest honor one can bestow upon a Love Puppy. It explodes their hearts with joy allowing them to create certain Trinkets (much like how a clam makes a pearl), one of the few things it knows will make its lover happy.

I've seen more than 10 love puppies (maybe averaging 1 per week) but not one of them dropped anything :(
Fun fact (or TMI?) i DREAMED last night that I got a true love locket from a drop x_x

I met 27 times love puppy and it never drops trinket.
This's absolutely unfair. Meet them so rare and drop chance even rare, so we got 0.00001% to drop that trinket from puppy.
Thanks devs, that's so fair.

It's not unfair
It's not unfair, it's unlucky. If everyone had heart trinkets, then where would their value be? It would be basically pointless, and not give you an advantage, especially in LD where it makes a MASSIVE difference. If everyone had them, then it would become a known quantity. I have never even seen a love puppy at ALL Raw, so count yourself lucky you've even gotten to see one. As of yet, in my maybe 3 months playing this game, I have had a 0% chance of having a heart trinket drop for me. But that's ok! Maybe one day....

Hmmm
I've been seeing them a lot lately. I've seen 4 of them within a 5 day period. But yeah, no trinket so far. It's rare to find a Love Puppy, but even rarer for it to drop a trinket. What's even worse is that if it does drop a trinket, there is a 1/4 chance (if you are in a party of 4), 1/3 chance (if in a party of 3), and a 50/50 chance (if it's you and another) of you getting that trinket.

- Heart Pendant, Dual Heart Pendant, Tri-Heart Pendant, Tetra-Heart Pendant and Penta-Heart Pendant added to Krogmo's Alchemy Machine
So today's update is going to make pendants available to everyone, i guess they will take a quite bit of coins to be crafted. And what about the penta-heart pendant (+6 hp?) and the true love locket (+??? hp) ?

The Penta-Heart Pendant is a stat-equivalent to the True Love Locket. The TLL however, has a unique name, description and can only be obtained as a rare drop from a Love Puppy.

Why not at least make them +7?
That's an awesome number by itself, and some of your wealthiest customers (Levis, Ruby, Mbcscp, etc) will still feel acknowledged in their costly effort to attain true love (perhaps even twice).

Disappointment
With the introduction of the Penta-Heart Pendants, I was expecting the True Love Locket to be powered up as to not make it a pure novelty item when placed against the Penta-Heart Pendant. Heck, give the thing a higher health boost, it's a token of friendship given by the freaking Love Puppy for crying out loud!
I, Shidara, do not approve of this update.

Give me a break. There was no legitimate reason why heart trinkets were as rare and thus as prohibitively expensive as they were until today's update. OOO made the right move here by making them affordable for everyone in the market for 5* trinkets.

True Love Locket should be +10 since its true love

Very nice to see these
Very nice to see these pendants more accessible for all players. Agreed with the above recommendations that it would still be nice if the True Love was a +7 given how rare it is, but in either case, today was a good step forward on the heart pendant front.

They absolutely still drop from Love Puppies, though as that's not the most ideal way to distribute a fairly handy trinket, a future update will have Heart Pendants and their upgrades available via another means. However, True Love Lockets will remain exclusively the property of a Love Puppy's BFF.
