[edit] Notes

Lunar Fortune prizes fall on the ground where they are assigned to the person that used the fortune. You cannot use them in a town or outpost. You can ONLY use them in explorable areas.
Lunar fortunes from 2007 were updated to Lunar Fortune [Year of the Pig]
There is a better chance to get more Lunar Fortunes from playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with Lucky Hochei in Lion's Arch than obtaining them from the Lunar Fortune Giver in Shing Jea Monastery.
- Example: You play paper all the time and use 1500 Lunar Tokens: First 500 tokens win, 500 lose and 500 get back to you from a draw. From those 500 tokens received back: 166 win, 166 lose and 166 get back to you from draw... etc.
- You should statistically get roughly 50% gifts from all played tokens.
- Moreover, for winning the Rock, Paper, Scissors game, you'll receive a Lunar Fortune and Sugary Blue Drink
