    So...

    Does the number of random events decrease due to money tree grabbing ?

    Thank you :yup:

    The way that's worded there it sounds like they're saying that the more items you take, the less chance you have of getting the next item you try to grab from the money tree. That wouldn't make much sense though, since i thought the item went to whoever clicked it first. Hmm..not sure, sorry

    Whoever clicks first gets the item...that's for sure.

    I think that just means if you get like 5 other random events, you won't get a sixth most likely.

    Although it may include money tree, trades, shops, etc.

    i'm not sure, cuz i think you may not be able to grab if you have over a certain amount of np or if you grabs 10 times already

    MTG isn't even that useful. Most of the time you wont even get any items that are worth much.
    Even if you grab NPS, you grab like 2k or something 10times in a row and it's still not much money.
    I agree with the others that yea, if you get it like 10 times in a row your chances seem to decrease.

    i've heard that you get more random events by frequent donations.
    can anyone verify?

    The Money Tree only lets you grab ten items a day from it, I noticed that a few years ago. Although it doesn't ban you, you won't be able to actually obtain anything after trying to pick it up.

    I've heard that too, but my guild and I tried doing a little experiment on this theory about 2 years ago. Half of us donated 1,000NP and an item worth 1,000NP to the Money Tree everyday and half of us donated nothing. There were 19 of us donating and 20 of us not (or maybe it was the other way round). We did this for just under 3 months and logged all of our random events, and couldn't see any real difference at all.

    I admit, it was quite a small number of people involved and only for a few weeks, but you would hope to have seen a result during that time if there was a link between donating and REs.

    They say that donating increases the chance of good things just to get people to donate. Simple as that. There have been countless studies to see if it made any significant difference, and there weren't any.

    You can only grab 10 items per day from the money tree (including bags of NPs, those count as items) and you can only grab if you have less than 20k on hand (not 100% sure, but that's how it seems)
