Comic #183: Luck? (Patreon)

It's been such a long time since I've read this one that I completely forgot the punchline. I was sitting here trying to figure out why the hell Keydar was asking Narya what he was doing in Dalaran, and why Narya was saying it was full of crazies. I even started trying to remember if there was some reference I was forgetting from this era of the game. Nope, just a bad memory.

In hindsight though, I think it's better without the first panel. Narya's dialogue in the last panel could easily be something simpler like, "Man, the test realm is full of crazies."

I do remember dealing with this issue often. You would copy your character over to the test realm and get better RNG there than on live, it was infuriating and hilarious. I could have easily done one in a raid with some rare piece of equipment.

I was curious about the actual drop rate so I looked up the green proto-drake on wowhead and it's a 6% drop from the mysterious egg on retail. Looks like Wrath Classic has it at 3%. So at least it's easier now.

If you look closely at panel 4, you can see I clearly copied the egg from #179. Here's a side-by-side comparison:

It's alright, I had to draw a whole proto drake baby after all, so a little laziness is okay.
