3 weeks ago when the Powder of Accension drop rate improvement change was patched, I saw a marked improvement ... 6 powder with 80 energy expended.  The last 2 weeks, it's like the change has gone poof - I'm back to using my entire energy pool (540 energy) to farm 5-6 powder.  Not sure what's going on - did the change get overwritten/trashed?  It would be horrid to imagine indeed that RNG would make a 6x difference in gathering results.

Someone should take a look and make sure this change is still intact and working as intended.  If it is, PA needs to buy a new pair of dice for it's game engine.
