Talk:Fire Extinguisher: Polar Vortex

the last edit on the article is wrong, but I don't know how wrong

I was just going to simply revert the edit that included the following:

*Randomly selects a non-conditional item from the opponent's drop pool and automatically steals it, ignoring its drop rate, but weighted by the drop rates of all items that the monster can drop. Does not work on Pickpocket-only items.

But I'm holding off for now. The problem is the skill still has not been properly spaded. It definitely can and does fail to acquire non-conditional items, and I have a hard time believing drop rate is ignored.

It is easiest to observe the skill work but not 100% of the time on monsters with a single, pickpocketable (though not pp-only), low-chance drop:

• It fails to acquire flange from both gnasty gnome and gnarly gnome occasionally
• It fails to acquire buoybottoms from groovy pirate occasionally

And by failing occasionally, I mean a failure rate of definitely more than 10% for the flanges, as polar vortex easily fails to acquire an item 1–4 times each time I use it 9–10 times there.

• I had it fail to get a gland from a filthworm royal guard with +105% item drops. It's worked every other time, so it's probably not common to fail. —Yendor (talk) 04:29, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
