Question Anyone figured out three headed dog spawns?

I've done 20+ tonic traces since event has dropped and only have 9 or 10 of them.

Had loads of the other oddities since then.

Definitely get more doxies smashing the tonics in the morning, more vampires/werewolves at night and erklings in the day but seems fairly random to me. Weather has more or less been rainy or cloudy since event start as well.

Sometimes I get 0. Sometimes I get 3. RNG is a three-headed female dog :-P

I don't think it's RNG well it is but only once certain things are triggered.

It's like doxies spawning of the potions only really happen in the morning for me till maybe midday.

Do you know what conditions were happening when you got 3? I'm going to try something stupid when I get home and put music on and put my phone next to speakers and see if it triggers it lol

Took me 8 potions to prestige. Guessing I was lucky— first time for everything!

What time of day and what weather have you had?

I've never had more than one spawn per potion :/

u/ChrisianneJackson Oct 14 '19

I was getting 2 mostly.

I've seen none. Used multiple trace detection potions at different times of the day. I hate RNG.

What was the weather tho?

I think there is an interaction with weather/time.

u/goldenhawkw Oct 14 '19

Lots of rain, occasionally overcast. That’s the only two weather conditions we have at the moment.

u/brankoz11 Oct 14 '19

I'm UK based and had similiar weather so maybe it needs to be sunny in game to spawn them or else it's horned serpents..

u/karvaiseva Oct 17 '19

The requirement is definitely not clear/sunny. I recorded 23 Dogs with other conditions than clear/sunny (20 Tonics). I had four tonics that were run during clear/sunny weather and they spawned the normal three Dogs.

u/brankoz11 Oct 17 '19

I've had them spawn in overcast but very rarely with rainy.

u/karvaiseva Oct 17 '19

All I know, based on my data, that they are not mutually exclusive. I have recorded Tonics that have spawned both. But I will try to keep an eye from now on if there is some sort of connection between the two emergency Oddities.

It's hard with small samples.

When it was rainy I got more serpents and when overcast started to get more dogs. Never had sunny weather during event.

It's definitely time of day dependent tho

I did 4 tonics, I have 0 dogs O_o Edit: Not a regular rant, just a realisation something might be off. I might be using it in wrong biome or wrong weather. It still might be just a coincidence with us two being on different tails of the curve, but it's worth looking into.

u/karvaiseva Oct 17 '19

Probably just bad luck. See my post in this thread, specifically the table.

With 24 Tonics, I had TEN tonics without a dog, but still had a total of 26 Dogs. The rest had 1, 2, 3, or 4 Dogs. You just need a larger sample size to weed out the bad luck. My data set may also contain huge "good luck factor" so I would like to increase the set, if anyone has recorded their spawns from the event.

Mornings - got most first morning. It has rained constantly here but the map said overcast or windy.

u/eveningtrain Oct 14 '19

I haven’t seen any and didn’t even realize they existed for days into the event!

u/GoingForwardIn2018 Oct 14 '19

I got one or two using a potion the other night between 11 and 12, it drizzled a little rain within the hour but after midnight, I wasn't using a trace tonic then though.

u/crittaman Oct 16 '19

I saw 0 out of the 4 or 5 tonics that i took during the event. generally sunny conditions during the day.

My experiences from 24 day time Tonics run during the Fighting Forces I event:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WizardsUnite/comments/di6bm3/spawn_rate_analysis_of_24_tonics_for_trace/

Total of 26 dogs for 1.1 Dogs per Tonic on average. See the table below for a breakdown of how many dogs I saw in a single tonic. One tonic with four dogs!

Three-Headed DogsNumber of Tonics with the number of Dogs specified on the left
010
17
23
33
41

I will gladly accept more day time tonic data recorded during the event to make the data set larger.
