Re: Valk pickaxes
You don't divide you multiply fractions.
Also, 1% chance of not having at least 1 pick by now

Re: Valk pickaxes
I think it's 1/9 = x then x/3. so that works out too 1/9 = .1111, .1111/3 = .037 = 3.7%. There are three possibilities for a Valkyrie tool, that is why I used the probability of 1 out of 3. 3.7% is only if you received one dungeon item per chest, the actual probability is higher than 3.7% since there are like 3 to 4 items per chest. I'm probably wrong lol but maybe I helped a little.

Re: Valk pickaxes
Its not 1/3 tools its 50% chance to get all the tools i believe.rosewood18 wrote:I think it's 1/9 = x then x/3. so that works out too 1/9 = .1111, .1111/3 = .037 = 3.7%.

And yes my math was technically wrong
(1/9)*0.5 would be proper, but both equations work out the same.

If there's 3 tools, you can't have a 50% chance of getting each. That would even out incorrectly.
You have about a 33.3% chance of getting a valkyrie pickaxe.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but its true, 150% isn't possible.
Hope I helped

Re: Valk pickaxes
Cut
17/18 to the power of 180 for the streak.
I think I broke something l.
EDIT:
Adjustment.
Chance of 1/9 to reach tools section. 1/2 chance to get a pick. Therefore 1/18 chance to get a pick.
About 5.5 percent chance.

Re: Valk pickaxes
The way the code is (which marc posted) it is possible to get anywhere from 0-3 toolsKILLGUN345 wrote:Incorrect.nickmcski wrote:Its not 1/3 tools its 50% chance to get all the tools i believe.rosewood18 wrote:I think it's 1/9 = x then x/3. so that works out too 1/9 = .1111, .1111/3 = .037 = 3.7%.

Re: Valk pickaxes
wouldn't it be 1/3 to get a pick? (Axe, pick, shovel). And then, about 3 rewards per chest, most of the time it's more.blobbosezhi2 wrote:Cut

That'd revert the 1/3 chance, and it'd be a 11% chance.
