Fortune Drum Odds

[LtLost]

Anyone have an idea what the odds are for the prizes. 1st prize seems to be very rare. Haven't gotten it yet. Old ticket appear to be finite, so getting all 10 lucky coins from this is probably not going to happen.

Is the 1st prize different for everyone, or something?

For me it was a "boat".
Like... those decorative ones you can see in places like Port Kapul, or in the water at the underground beach area in Derphy.

Took me about 21 tickets to get it, though.
Sounds lucky, but I don't actually want one so I just reloaded after seeing how long it'd take to get it.

2nd prize was also decorative, a Figure Of Goddess. Just a tiny little decoration you can put around, it wasn't a tourism-booster or anything.

I wonder if 1st prize wasn't a lucky coin because I'd already bought 10 of them from the platinum merchant.

Edit: Also, it seems like the results can't be save scummed, at least just with simple saving and reloading.
I went and check out a different town's Fortune Drum, and the results were always the same between reloads.

That and the town I went to was Port Kapul, and the 1st prize was just 10 small medals.
2nd prize was something called Memorial Block No.5 which was a tourism-boosting poster of some kind.

It rotates, and refreshes. So you can get different prize pools going on different days.

Prizes seem to be generated by a seed, so no save-scumming directly. There may be ways to reset the seed, but I don't know them.

I also won a boat. What the heck am I supposed to do with it? Guess I HAVE to buy beachfront property now....

The prizes rotate every month

How many Memorial Blocks are there?

As a warning DO NOT waste your fortune tickets on the Fortune Drum.

I tried taking one back home for ease of use but when you place them down at your home the only prize you can get is the loss "humble gift"

The boat is worth like 28k Orens which is a huge amount in the early game.

Can confirm save scumming dont work. The prize queue is set the moment it refreshes or you interact with it. I tested it on Port Kapul where the 1st prize was a boat. I don't remember the exact number, but I do the lottery with 10 tickets at once and I always gets it at the 4th try. Obviously I dont want to spend 40 tickets just for a boat, so I save scummed and thats how I found out.
