I take that back.</p> <p>Here's a good post explaining it: <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=17899774085&amp;sid=1" rel="nofollow">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=17899774085&amp;sid=1</a></p> <p>It's actually a bit more complicated, but long answer short, it seems like you will be able to loot 3.2 items from containers/bags created before the patch. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/saving-bags#post-6766 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:41:38 +0000 nonameform 6766@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>When you open the bag, the loot is determined, so you can't close it and open it again and hope that there will be some different loot. I'm positive that old containers drop new loot if they remain unopened until the item is added to loot table. Gonna save some bags till 3.2 to check it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/saving-bags#post-6760 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:13:23 +0000 Lyps 6760@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm pretty positive that containers determine their loot when picked up, not opened. Otherwise you could just open it, not loot it if it doesn't have your item, then try again. (and if they simply tracked the loot after the first open so that it doesn't change, why not just track it from the time the container is created/dropped?) This question came up on the MMO-Champion forums in relation to icy prisms which will start to drop epic gems after 3.2. This seemed to be the answer given there as well.</p> <p>Short answer: no. Loot in containers/bags is determined when the bag is created/dropped. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/saving-bags#post-6725 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 05:23:57 +0000 nonameform 6725@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>AFAIK, loot is generated when you open the bag.</p> <p>I remember fishing up two boxes both of which contained <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34109" title="Wowhead - Weather-Beaten Journal." class="nocolor">Weather-Beaten Journal</a>. When I used one of the journals, I couldn't see the second one, so I just sent the box to a friend and he was able to read it.</p> <p>Also some people report finding new items, added in patches after the box was looted. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/saving-bags#post-6724 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:52:49 +0000 KHSebastian 6724@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>So I read the patch notes about the Waterlogged Recipe, and I've been wondering... If I save all the bags I get from now til the patch, and open them afterwards, will I be able to get Waterlogged Recipes out of them? Or is the loot predetermined when I pick up the bag? This also applies to the increased drop rate of Cooking Awards from Spice Bags. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-want-your-opinion#post-6717 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 18:32:34 +0000 llie 6717@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hmmm... i know that i got the strand crawler today and my boyfriend got the jeweled fishing pole last night... pretty lucky *looks around suspiciously* </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-want-your-opinion#post-6712 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 09:32:32 +0000 el 6712@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>For reference, there was a <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards">similar discussion here</a>. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-want-your-opinion#post-6708 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 12:49:04 +0000 seaborn 6708@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My main toon seems to be barred from getting the fishing goodies.</p> <p>Another of my toons got the jeweled pole on Tuesday, then the Bone pole on Wed. I sent a tell to a friend to tell her about it and she responded, "Wow, i did too!" She got the poles the same exact way on the same days. I have since talked to another person the got them like that on the same days.</p> <p>This screams something 'other' than random.</p> <p>Anyone else get the poles this week? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards/page/2#post-6610 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:33:12 +0000 Gummo 6610@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I still think it's just randomness, but it's possible that it uses e.g. a random number seed based on your name, and the random number generator isn't very good. But I don't think that's the case.</p> <p>Only blizzard can say what their random number generator(s) do, and I doubt they will. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards/page/2#post-6609 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:10:45 +0000 seaborn 6609@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I QQ'd about this in a different thread about a month or two ago but i will reply here too.</p> <p>I have a few toons that do the dailies. My main has always had what i considered terrible luck compared to the other toons. To prove it, when the fishing daily was introduced into the game I started keeping track in a logbook format. It is said that the bags are completely random.</p> <p>My findings:</p> <p>The toon that I have always felt to have "bad" luck. 88% of fishing bags have had Worthless Glass of various colors. I have received 1 of the BoP items. That item was the fishing hat, but it came from the Outland fishing daily. This toon also has not received the Polar Bear mount yet and i have done that daily 214 times. (The other thing to mention is that the 88% number has stayed between 80-90% since day 10)</p> <p>In contrast there is the other toon. It receives worthless glass 35% or the time and has many of the neat items. Has gotten 3 polar bears mounts now.</p> <p>Basically what i want is an answer on how this so called random number generator works. I'm not saying its broken, but based on what I have seen there has to be some other factor that plays into it. If something is truly random, time will ALWAYS make things level out. Luck is something that only plays into small sample pools.</p> <p>Its like a casino. If you go in and set your chips down and win on the first few rolls, the best thing you can do is pick up your winnings and go home. Over the long run the casino will win. That's why they exist. Unless of course you are cheating.</p> <p>If I am missing something, please tell me. Something just isn't adding up. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards#post-6606 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:15:29 +0000 Lilitheen 6606@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I guess I've been pretty lucky really. The second time I did 'Corroded Jewelery' I got The Giant Sewer Rat. That was actually only the second time I'd fished anywhere in Dalaran.<br /> I also got the jeweled pole and the strand crawler in the same bag. I've gotten the bell twice, the painting 3 or 4 times and Red Stormjewel. The rep is nice too, the KT have a head enchant I'm after, along with the pet. What I'm really after though is the 5 ring. +55 stam, +55 hit &amp; +55 crit strike rating will be a nice add. At this point I'm not really interested in the turtle mount, which means the way my luck goes I'll get it long before the 5 ring. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards#post-6605 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 20:23:57 +0000 Bravo25 6605@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've picked up the pet, but no gems or poles for me. Granted, the only thing I'd really like is an overhaul to the Arcanite fishing rod. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards#post-6602 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:22:26 +0000 Malice 6602@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've been very lucky with my fishing daily rewards. Rigid stormjewel, solid stormjewel, bone fishing pole, the crawler, the fishing hat. Also got Porcelain Bell twice, which vendors for 100g. Battered junglehat also twice, 100g on AH.<br /> Also have the turtle and the sewer rat pet. BUT I do fish a lot so it's not like I got any of those on my first try.</p> <p>Good luck to all of you! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards#post-6591 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:29:36 +0000 Thalen 6591@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Been having a major cold streak on my 2 fishers for the last month or so. Junk drops weren't too bad, but mostly worthless glass and deviates.</p> <p>This weekend, we had the crocs come up. No, I didn't get a croc. I did the Dalaran daily and got the jeweled fishing pole, and when I went to do the Shat daily, I got the 2 ring!</p> <p>Decided to press my luck the next day, and started farming for the turtle. ~30 minutes later, he dropped for me!</p> <p>I'm expecting several months of bad luck to now make up for all that ;-) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards#post-6588 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:52:18 +0000 celtictexan 6588@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I just got the small lock box tonight. Was full of gems one epic that i had just paid 1000g for. So I have 2 now. The rest were blues and one green necklace.

I was quite happy after that :) However, there was better to come, within a week I got a real lucky bag, in it was:</p> <p>Strand Crawler<br /> Fishing Hat<br /> Poison Vial (the one that starts a quest)<br /> Tower Key (worth 16.66 gold)<br /> 2x trash items</p> <p>Can’t remember what the trash items were, I was too excited with all the other stuff ;)</p> <p>Keep fishing, the next bag could be the lucky one :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/anyone-else-getting-unlucky-with-dala-daily-rewards#post-6535 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:23:43 +0000 jacobsod 6535@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I seem to have week at a time streaks. One week I got the weather beaten hat, bone and jeweled fishing pole, and Mr. Pinchy. Next two weeks absolutely nothing worthwhile. Then another bell-filled week &amp; won the tourney. Hang in there. as they say, randomness is random. :) </p>
