Oracle restricted to nymphs? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=33352.msg420713#msg420713

Is it possible to win cards other than nymphs in Oracle spins anymore?  Seems like for the past few months, the only cards I have won from the Oracle have been nymphs.  This strikes me as somewhat improbable.

I spin every day, and I haven't gotten a nymph in quite a while (well a few weeks, but that's about half my life of elements :P). You may just have insanely good luck, or more likely be focusing on the times you get a nymph and ignoring the others (subconsciously). This is normal.

If you spin a nymph you're guaranteed to win it, whereas any other card only has a 10% chance to be won. So yes, they still can be won. Sure, what you're describing is improbable, but hey.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Won a Pulvy yesterday, so it's definitely still possible.

I won an ice bolt over the weekend and a sword/dagger (can't remember which exactly) yesterday. So it's not just Nymphs.

I have the exact opposite problem; I keep getting fooled by about 2/7 days a week because the Oracle gives me common cards to take instead of nymphs from the spins.

Yeah, the oracle still gives common cards.  I've gotten one or two in between the high influx of nymphs this past month.

And technically it's five times (ten relative to purple nymph) less likely for you to get a non-nymph, assuming I didn't misunderstand the probabilities mentioned in one of those old oracle-nymph probability threads.

Actually no, forget that.  I have a feeling I probably did misunderstand.

The chance to win a non-nymph card from the oracle is 10%.  Probably you just had a long string of not winning the card, or forgot the times you did.
