Couriers, Love Stories, and Extrodinary Luck

I have been trying to get stolen correspondence in order to get enough strong-back labor for the basalt gymnasium.

I have been grinding in Veilgarden(as it seemed to be slightly more efficient than anything one could do at court) and think I might have noticed something.

For this option, titled “Ambush a few couriers for old times’ sake”, one either gets 40 stolen correspondence or 20 stolen correspondence and a touching love story. From what I have read the first one is supposed to happen usually and the second should be quite rare.

Thus far out of 10 attempts I believe I have gotten one attempt where I actually got 40 stolen correspondence.

Has anyone else had this happen or should I buy some lottery tickets?

That’s not that out of the ordinary. A lot of the “rare” unfinished business outcomes aren’t really particularly rare.
