Cursed Dice
|
 |
“Anything that follows is entirely RNG's fault.”
|
Cursed Dice is a relic obtained normally from quests.
Effects[edit | edit source]
50% chance to find a pair when rescuing, 50% chance to find nothing.
— In-game description
| Luck | Pair chance[1][2] | Avg. animals per rescue |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 50% | 1 |
| 1 | 54% | 1.08 |
| 2 | 58% | 1.16 |
| 3 | 62% | 1.24 |
| 4 | 66% | 1.32 |
| 5 | 70% | 1.4 |
| 6 | 74% | 1.48 |
| 7 | 78% | 1.56 |
| 8+ | 80% | 1.6 |
The chance to rescue a pair is set to 50%. This overrides the increased pair chance from the Duality leader XP upgrade[3] and—in part— Twin Cherry[4].
The pair chance increases by 4% for each point of luck,[2] maxing out at 80% with 5 luck.[1] If a Backpack was used, a pair is guaranteed.[needs in-game testing]
Rescues that don't grant a pair will “fail” and grant no animal. The animal's held item will still be received.[5] Flavor text will be displayed in this format:
🎲 You were about to rescue a [animal], but [reason]. [reaction]
As of April 7, 2024, the following flavor text is possible:
| Reason | Reaction |
|---|---|
| apparently it didn't ask. | Blame the RNG. |
| I realized it would be funnier if you didn't. | Golly! |
| it ascended to a higher plane of existence. | Hate it when that happens. |
| it got lost in another wipe. | How inconvenient! |
| it pearled away whoops. | It be like that sometimes. |
| it politely declined. | Maybe next time? |
| it took one look at your face and ran off. | Oh well! |
| it turned out to just be another furry. | Problem? |
| it was actually just made out of cake. | Skill issue. |
| my database crashed so it didn't register. | Too bad! |
| someone else used the command and got them first. | Welp! |
| the RNG had other plans. | What a pity. |
| then you remembered that game balance exists. | What a shame. |
| then you remembered that your ice cream was getting cold. | Whoopsie! |
| you got a mosquito bite and decided to call it off. | Zoinks! |
| you got your socks wet and retreated. | |
| you looked away for a second and it despawned. | |
| you tripped on an inconveniently located branch. |
Failing a rescue while a Curse of Blindness is active or the Blindfold cosmetic is equipped will grant Visible Confusion.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
Using Cursed Dice on its own is not recommended. A rescue grants exactly 1 animal on average, compared to the usual 1.05 (from the base pair chance). Methods to consistently increase your luck, like Virtual Machine or a shackled curse, can offset this.
The high pair chance means Kraken's ability will trigger very often.
