RNG distribution is not uniform?

  I have been lucky and only had to make 1 trade to get one of each.  Today someone wanted certain ones so I went to buy spares to see if I got what he wanted.  I got 3 Undeads in a row. Which is awesome.
  
  You have enough data there to represent the average UO players RNG.  Its like Orc ship pieces.  Sometimes UO ring sux!  Especially when you want a certain one.

  Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

  I'm not sure about how you are going to get RNG odds from buying totems (unless you mean your selected them from the turn in guy).
  
  I have a almost 2 sets of cameos already so haven't really been taking the tali's but I have selected about probably 8 (because I wanted a Fey slayer). Not a ton of data to give you but my spread was something like this:
  
  2 fey
  1 demon
  2 arachnid
  1 undead
  1 repond
  1 reptile
  
  I have my 2 fey slayers I wanted so probably won't get a lot more of these but will report back if I decide to take another handful.

  Do these talis- auto-repair like the Cameo?

  
  

  The one of the previous events had a fey slayer tali- (In Corp Mani Xen) that doesn't even have durability.    PvM items wear out too fast for me to waste my time building suits that used irreplaceable items, especially when there are others with essentially the same properties that will literally last until the end.

  
  

  As for the RNG, it'll take at least 1000 attempts to get a fairly accurate sample.   -I always assumed each variant of an item is weighted the same (equal chance to get any and all slayer types) but only a very large sample (or a dev chiming in) could really answer it.  and even then, there's no reliable way for you to control which slayer you get at any given time.

  Remove or change casting focus & poison immunity it reduces the need for "Player Skill" it's garbage. Bring timing back and eliminate chance in pvp!

  I haven't tested the auto repair but I'm guessing they don't. That said, they are relatively affordable at 50 drops. I can usually get close to that with a single round of killing commanders. If you play ATL, they are super cheap on VS...currently as low as 7m each (mostly repond/undead).
  
  When it comes to PvM (especially for slayers) I usually swap out things based on what I'm fighting (ie slayer) so I don't think I will personally have an issue with durability as long as I'm not leaving my fey slayer tali on while I'm fighting random stuff that doesn't get a boost from fey. 
  
  Since these are tali's.... has anyone gotten one that is "blessed for" yet? I've only gotten 8 so not nearly enough to see if that's a thing for these or not.

  yesterday night was crazy strange night , yesterday night , I just found out that what some people said on some chat software about bragging about using very few totem and getting a lot of rare clydesdales turned out to be true . Yesterday , I just already used 3 totem at a clydesdale refresh point in T2A, but didn't get any clydesdale of any color . Then I went to repair the armor and immediately came back to the same clydesdale refresh point . The round trip took no more than 5 seconds . As soon as I came back then too crazy strange things appeared that a player suddendly appeared at the refresh point . The strangest and most outrageous thing was that when this player appeared , he only used one totem first time and killed only 5 to 6 clydesdales then refreshed to a not common rare color clydesdale . Isn't this really super weird ? In the end, I used 6 totem in total all night , but there was no common or uncommon rare color clydesdale too . If I say this is : Random Number Generator (abbreviation : RNG) , it is better to say this is : Artificial Player Residential Area Bias Generator (abbreviation : APRABG)
