Talk:Frigid mote
Has anyone got one of these from anything besides the Weaponmaster, or is it exclusive to that one?--Galapagos James 00:44, 10 January 2007 (CST)
- I yoinked one from the first weaponmaster I encountered, and have since gotten nothing, the weapon, or stars every time, at least 20 thus far. Has anyone else gotten more than one? --rholliday 02:26, 10 January 2007 (CST)
- Okay, just refuted that. After a lot more weaponmaster fights (I'm not a true spade so I didn't count, sorry) with something like +135% item, I got another mote, so it's just fairly rare, not one-time. --rholliday 12:30, 10 January 2007 (CST)
- Confirmed, I got 2 frigid motes in one day ColtsScore 19:55, 10 January 2007 (CST)
- After 7 of Weapon Masters with a 23-pound Baby Gravy Fairy +miner's helmet + two ducks-on-a-string + Baron Von Ratsworth's monocle + two lucky rabbit's foot (i dont know how to calculate +item drop) i got one mote

Is there a trick to this? I have been pickpocketing exclusively for this since it came out and after a couple hundred pickpockets, I have yet to get a single mote. I'm getting very annoyed. --Plater 18:12, 16 January 2007 (CST)
Regarding the references, I'm pretty sure it isn't a FFXII reference. Neopets has had Motes as items that cast spell for a long time. Anyway, doesn't Jick not like FF? Azp2k32 16:17, 15 January 2007 (CST)
I can't find a trick, just a lot of adventures - 22 successful pickpockets on the weaponmaster before I got a mote. Wagr 19:14, 16 January 2007 (CST) Then I got another on the next weaponmaster. 19:19, 16 January 2007 (CST)
Statistics
I'm gathering stats on these, till I get 1000 encounters of the weaponmaster, with the same gear always. Here's what I gathered so far:
- Adventures in lair: 1120
- Item mod: 24%
- Skill mod: 30%
- Encounters: 217
- Pickpocket ninjastars: 51
- Pickpocket frigid mote: 8
- Pickpocket frozen nunchaku: 12
- Pickpocket ridiculously overelaborate ninja weapon: 11
- Pickpocket nothing: 135
--MoreCurious 09:51, 4 March 2007 (CST)
- With what he has so far, that works out to 3.69% chance, or slightly less than 1/25. If the chance of encountering a Weaponmaster is the same as the rest (making it 1/5), and you get the jump on him every time, then the chance of a Lair adventure yielding a frigid mote are 0.737%. If I'm calculating right, that means an average of approx. 136 adventures before you find one. --BaruMonkey 12:37, 27 May 2007 (CDT)
Is the rate of a successful pickpocket of a frigid mote still the same? I used to pickpocket an average of 3-5 motes, averaging between 200-300 adventures a day. Now I'm lucky if I get one, I haven't changed my equipment, effects or amount of adventures. Am I just feeling the joy that is RNG screwage or has the rate changed?--Gezmo 12:38, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
All I know is that I've been trying for a months, and haven't gotten a single one. --FireLily 06:10, 21 August 2007 (EST)
- So, of course, I just got one. This was after over 150 adventures in the Lair of the Ninja Snowmen today, but probably a total of about 1,000 (give or take a few hundred) over the past few months.--FireLily 06:20, 21 August 2007 (EST)
