    Anyone know if armor/weapons take priority over heavy metal (pouches) in VW pools? Trying to figure out if it's worth it to even use cells cause I'm pretty sure HMP is unaffected by rubicund.

    If anyone actually knows, they've never disclosed results/methodology. Placebo all day

    The next few posts will say to use cells because cruor is worthless just incase. Then someone will say they do not have enough cruor, followed by someone identifying all the free cruor given out recently. Amidst that a couple people will swear up and down from doing over 9000 VW runs personally, they have eye-balled one way or another. Eventually no answer will be provided, you'll do whatever you are doing now in terms of cells, and this topic will die for the 190th time.

    Unless guildwork logged all vw data and can recompile drops via parsing lights, there is no real answer as to anything VW light drop related other than whats known from in game dialog.

    From my group's testing we've found that using red cells diminishes your chance at getting pouches, mostly because it increases your chance of getting armor.

    We tested it at length on Qilin and found this to be a reasonable pattern. However, in a small sample set on Vanasarvik we didn't notice any pattern.
