Talk:Little parachute guy

I only used 2 of these. I got it back once. The two hp/mp ranges I got were 19hp + 10mp and 17hp + 19mp. --Erich 21:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

• Ok, I reused the second one again. Got it back again. This time I got 12hp + 19mp. Using it after that, 11hp + 12mp, and I got it back AGAIN. So, 4 uses, I got it back 3/4 times. However, I noted that I got it back each time I killed the monster on the round after I used it. The first time I used it, I waited 10 rounds to see if it acted in combat, and then didn't get it back. It might be connected. I'm going to use it a few more times. --Erich 21:56, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
• Alright, some more figures: 1 round 12/12 got it back, 1 round 19/20 got it back, 1 round 17/18 got it back, 1 round 17/18 got it back, 1 round 17/19 got it back, 2 rounds 19/19 DID NOT get it back. So, in total I used it 8 fights in a row, and got it back when I killed the monster on the next round. The other times, it was lost after combat. I wont call that conclusive, but any further testing I would say should come from that idea. Also, I think HP/MP range is 10-20.--Erich 23:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
• I got mine back after a 6 round fight (18hp/19mp) then lost it on the next fight where I killed the monster on the next round (16hp/15mp). Not so sure about the length of the fight impacting the chance you get it back, maybe it is just something like a 50-75% chance? --RebusSohal 00:26, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Decided to run some adventures, here are some new figures:

• Parachute guy used on round one, enemy killed on round two: 1, 4, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 14, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 6, 1, 2, 3, 1 fights survived by twenty parachute guys. Average of 2.8 fights.
• Parachute guy used on round one, nine rounds of spices, enemy killed on round eleven: 11, 6, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 10, 1, 1, 1, 6, 1, 9, 3 fights survived by twenty parachute guys. Average of 3.25 fights.

I'm not sure why I kept getting very long stretches of recovery, but there is likely no difference in recovery rate dependent on the length of the fight. Circle 17:14, 7 January 2012 (CET)

Looks like a 70% chance of keeping the item. --TechSmurf 09:57, 9 August 2012 (CEST)
