gollark: So I guess it's a bit lower since that silver is out of circulation?
gollark: *But*, the RNG probably doesn't have memory of which ones were dropped, so it has just as much chance of dropping another silver as it usually would, except the system is weird and picks a new set every hour or so, so I don't really know.
gollark: See, from a perspective of having not seen *any* of the drops yet, the probability of two rares is lower than the probability of one, probably.
gollark: It'll be horrible, I tell you.
