    I recently got two extended box. First one with owl credits and second one with Gold. Here is what I got:

    In the box purchased with credits, I got 3 Leg and 3 Exo along with the other runes.
    In the box purchased with Gold, I got 1 Leg and 2 Exo along with the other runes.

    I was just wondering if buying from credits have better chance of getting good runes? Or the chances of getting good runes are equal in both?

    Haha congratulations!

    I usually never get more than just the one exo that is guaranteed ! :)

    But there is no difference in credit and gold purchased packs. They have the same chances.

    Your statistical chances for each box are about 40% to receive at least one LEG and about 65% chance to receive at least a second EXO. So yeah, you got really lucky...

    40% is total bollocks. Remember that there's a 10% chance for exo. Then that EXO has a 5% chance of being a LEG.

    A rare has a 10% chance of being an EXO. A pack has a 5% chance to contain an extra LEG. Those aren't related.

    Thanks everyone for your views on this. So, basically I was really lucky to get 4 Leg and 5 Exo in two boxes I purchased. Cool! :cool:

    I'm pretty sure they are separate, I'm pretty sure i got an Exo and a Leg in the same pack if not a Rare and a Leg in the same pack which according to you should take up the same slot.

    They are exactly the same. You just had the luck of the draw with the pox purchased with credits. :D

    Congrats on getting 3 Legs in a single box that is pretty lucky.

    Legs are just a flat chance to drop where the other is a chance that a Rare rune becomes Exo.

    Thank you very much for the reply Shenshu! I am glad DoG has not kept such difference in Credit vs Gold purchase. By the way, that was the first time when I purchased the Box and let me tell you it is really really very addictive to open the packs. It is going to make me buy some more boxes just to get that feeling you get while opening the packs...

    I got 2 boxes with gold, and received... maybe 4 exos and 2-3 legs in total, can't remember. Sheer luck, I'm sure.

    I cannot believe credits have a better chance than gold. That'd be too devious and outrageous, man!

    The chance for your first box is, if I calculated correctly, 0,00000376%.

    Edit: Or 0,0000125%. My statistics knowledge is rusty.

    Great to hear, we wanted to give that sort of feeling. I remember when I was playing physical Trading Card Games and there was something euphoric about opening a new pack. Sounds like we are replicating that feeling :D

    Tell me about it.... Opening Magic: The Gathering boosters is the most addicting thing ever.
