    [Kill ten bears, loot an ass off of no more than one of them]

    “How do nine out of ten bears not have an ass?!?”

      As the other comments hinted but didn’t spell out: You destroyed the bear’s ass before you killed it… … That’s not only on you, but you clearly already had your “trophy” 🤣

      Usually, I’d assume that the act of killing them would destroy the desired object in most encounters. But that’s just my personal headcanon.

        I did the same kind of justification, but it’s a design decision to pad out the activity with a gambling adjacent pattern. If the drop rate was 100% no one would question it.

          Yep, the slot machine algorithm (a bucket fills up with every coin, the fuller the bucket the more plausible the win).

          i mean some quests are 100% drop rate, and i for one like the variety. Does it make a huge difference? Not really but its still feels nicer

            If you like it then you like it I guess. I never got those kinds of quests, personally
