Assorted Concoctions
In the hub cities (Khemi, Conarch Village, Old Tarantia) there are NPCs called Provisioners, who sell crates of level 80 food and potions. They also sell something called Crate of Assorted Concoctions, which costs 19.50 silver; when you open it, you get 3 (or, rarely, 4) items from among the following: blue level 80 potions, stacks of green level 80 food/potions, and social armor.
I bought and opened 1000 crates on the testlive server to estimate how frequently you get which item. For the stacks of green level 80 food and potions, I also computed the average stack size (based on just 100 crates, as it’s a bit more time-consuming). The following table shows the results:
Group | Frequency (in 1000 crates) |
Item | Average stack size |
---|---|---|---|
Green level 80 potions | 660 | stack of Daggamalt | 49.3 |
411 | stack of Moonspill | 42.0 | |
387 | stack of Sweetpressed Haste | 41.2 | |
Blue level 80 potions | 29 | Absolute Moonspill | |
29 | Dire Sweetpressed Haste | ||
31 | Potent Daggamalt | ||
Green level 80 food | 652 | stack of Leg of Fena | 20.1 |
379 | stack of Red Devilled Dates | 17.3 | |
422 | stack of Cynosural Ale | 20.9 | |
Social armor | 24 | Eyepatch | |
29 | Loincloth | ||
21 | Seafaring Vest | ||
15 | Stitched Rags | ||
27 | Torn Rags |
Among the social items from this list, the Eyepatch is probably the most interesting; as far as I know, you can’t get it anywhere else in the game. The other items drop (under different names) from low-level mobs in Tortage Island. (And those mobs also drop several other pirate-themed items that don’t drop from the crates.)
As we can see from the above table, you need to open on average approx. 41.7 crates to get an eyepatch (1000 crates / 24 eyepatches); if we multiply this by the cost of a crate, we see that getting an eyepatch will cost you on average 8.13 gold. I’ve seen one for sale at 6.5 gold on Crom today — a pretty good deal for the buyer.
