Yeah, I had a bad run in with Abby when I returned to the game. I foolishly tried to use Event Keys and all my Gems to pull her out of the Event Chest. Never ever again. I spend everything.
Just in case you want to know, here were your odds…
300 vip chests. 51% Chance of Dwarf
500+100 gem+guild chests. 45% Chance of Dwarf
1000 glory chests. 10% Chance of Dwarf
Gards, pharos, jotnar and wulf all cost me a fortune compared to some lucky guildies. It was a 4month period of constantly getting screwed. Almost quit game over it. 50k+ gems gone.
Every other mythic though couldn’t wait to jump into my collection and cost me almost nothing. Multiple copies were dropping with ease. Looks like since I came back to the game and changed guilds that my Luck also came back. 2 ketras & 2 stonehammer cost me almost nothing.
If you have a 1% chance to get a mythic in a VIP chest then you have a 99% chance you won’t.
If you open 2 chests, the odds you won’t get one is that 99% squared (.99 * .99) which is 98.01% of being denied. You opening 300 chests mean the odds of you not getting 1 is that 99% ^ 300 which is 4.9% chance you won’t get one or 95.1% chance you will.
I’m other words, you rolled a 1 on your d20 when anything else would have been a win. Saving throw failed. Sorry man.
For each trial (key to open), there is a P=0.01 chance of the event to occur (Mythic acquisition). Therefore, you have a 99% chance to fail, and a 1% chance to succeed at that one key opening.
Assuming you succeeded (1%), it doesn’t matter how many other successes you get after that first opening, you’ve now succeeded.
Assuming you failed (99%), you now have another 1% chance to succed and a 99% chance to fail the second trial.
Therefore, the odds of failing every single trial can be calculated as:
99% x 99% x 99% x 99% … for all trials, and in this case, since there are 300 trials, that means 99% ^ 300, or 0.99^300.
Success is if you didn’t fail every single trial, so it is 1 - (0.99^300), which works out to be 0.951, or 95.1%.
300 is not that many to guarantee one. Another way to think about is if everyone in your Guild opened 300 VIP chests Mythic just like you 1 or 2 would walk away with NO Mythic over the long run. (rounding for illustration)
