One thing I've noticed (which seems to be the case for Kurios too)...
I've been doing nothing but assisting for nearly 3 months now (I'm chasing achievements).  I've noticed that when I stopped raiding on a regular basis, my FS gains for turns have lowered.  I probably average around 45 for the past 3 months whereas before (when I was raiding regularly, and only assisting some), I probably averaged 55.

Funny... since posting this a couple of weeks ago, I seem to be averaging the normal amounts (45 to 55 range) pretty regularly.  Perhaps it was coincidence.

Inari... You think the devs would actually code an algorithm that would diminish points for being a non-raider?  Seems like too much trouble (and what would be their motivation/reasoning I wonder).  Perhaps it was simply a 3 month lull that many of us experienced (except those lucky ones blessed by the RNG).

All random for me.. Most the time I think I see between 48 and 54. Today I got a stinking 38 for 20, two days ago I got 63 for 19. Like I said, all random. But if Inari claims getting lower turn results, does this mean he won't have kept up in FS as much = me going to visit him?  Kiss  Anybody else here in range too, advertising inferior FS? I've been on a raiding spree lately.

Vargragg... you can stop by Kurios' anytime.  He even Gulps for every visitor (he is stuck at a FCGJ though).

I'm convinced mine have decreased too, I averaged between 45 and 65 most of the time for ages, but recently it seems (despite the occasional high sixties result) that my results range is more like 30 to 60, with the bulk of them being mid to high fourties  black sad Clearly the RR gods are displeased.

(for the record I'm also turning into a helpermonkey with all assists and maybe half a dozen raids in the last couple of months)

Varg, if you're in my range, I'd love a visit.  red smile
(hint...you need to be Colossal to see me)

I certainly don't think that the formula is any different.  I'm sure it's still all just up to chance.  However, even when things are supposed to be 100% random, there are still streaks of good and bad.  When left up to chance, patterns still emerge.

And for now, the pattern of FS gain sucks.  lol
I'm not worried though.  It will get better.

*Is convinced that there's a conspiracy now*

The last three days turns have generated 39, 39 and 38 FS respectively

well, i'll have to with Inari on that one .. i also noticed having 38 to 48 FS when i assist and attack less, or just attack weak dragons .. but when i attack strong ones with less assisting i get 55 - 60 !! i tested that for over 2 months, but because i cannot see any reason in it, i'm still convinced it's just coincidence Smiley

Nice... I can't remember the last time snagging a +60. 

But, it appears on my end points have leveled out.  I've been putting all my turns into weight gain lately though.

Holy poop on a stick, today I just received 67 fighting skill! That's the most I've ever gotten with the standard 20 turns. Cool

I got a 29 recently for my 20 turns. The RNG hates me.
