GGG offering free Headhunters to get players to come back

So...technically they're using an item called headhunter...to headhunt.

It is entirely within my understanding of GGG's decidedly Kiwi sense of humour that this is not unintentional.

Lmao, the forums truly are the endgame. Marketing tactics have always amused me.

For some reason this makes me think of those sticker vending machines. On the front is the huge detailed stickers that you want. Inside though, the machine is loaded with the tiny, crappy stickers nobody wants.

It's kinda funny; when they increased the chance of dropping logbooks by 54%, the thread was full of "54% increase of 0, is still 0"-comments. When they increase the chance of gambling a HH, they are suddenly "printing" them.

Are people really trying this hard to make everything seem like a negative?

Thanks for pointing out the obvious hypocrisy before me and saving me time from doing so myself.

So where's yours?

well so much for the logbook drop buff. I got one before they "buffed" it while in Act7 or 8, and 0 since then (and I run them every map and the % increased chance from remnant for logbook drops in the early chains when possible), and I'm about to break into yellow maps while thoroughly going through the leapfrog Atlas Watchstone strategy that Triolarbear put out around league start:

Needless to say, I am a bit disappointed on this so-called logbook buff. Who knows maybe that will change with running higher map tiers and quantity.

You need to do Rarity/Quantity > Logbook > Monster pack size in that order. I have no issues and my Expedition stash has been half full all the time with them with me running a few a day.

If you dont have monster pack size then you 100% need to put quantity/rarity ahead of it. Its drop rate is essentially very similar to forcing drops like you would with magic finding by running rarity/quantity.

Generally the idea is you hit a rarity/quant or packsize with 1 charge, then hit Logbooks with another, then you hit any packsize+runic monsters on the way.

Just no... monster packsize has 0 impact on number of runic mobs. And those are the ones dropping the logbooks/getting impacted by logbook remnants. Go watch Grimro's youtube on the matter.

That's an unusual choice of description before we even see people play around with the odds.

gambled about 50 belts
no hh

this is a buff

Grimos video is wrong or else i wouldnt be swimming in logbooks by doing it in that order.

BTW - Could be wrong but pretty sure im right. All large markers are rare runic monsters, all regular markers are regular/Magic monsters, with regular runic/magic monsters. Not sure if people are assuming large skull markers are the only ones worth going for but you should be going for large markers+small ones. Runic monsters arent only the rare monsters, if you hover over the monsters spawned youll see regular and magic runic monsters throw in there.

The reason why packsize is important is because packsize affects the total amount of monsters that spawn through all catagories. Ideally if you have "runic monsters are doubled" youd go with that, but that seems pretty uncommon.

Im simply applying the core logic of Magic Finding to this which seems to be working out perfectly fine for me.
