Do the rare troops like War and Famine have a bigger probability in appearing in Glory, Gem keys or Event Keys? ---

You can only get said troops you mentioned from VIP chests, Gem chests and Glory Key chests. You’ve got the best chances to get them in VIP chests, then Gem chests and Glory Key chests. Exactly in that order. ---

15 gems per is event chests. Those are the ones you do NOT want if mythic troops are what you seek. ---

No prob. VIP chests (50 gems) have the best chance Gem chests (10 gems) come next Glory chests have the least chance but can contain mythics ---

Specifically, VIP chests cost 5x what Gem chests cost, with 10x the payout for Legendary and Mythic troops. That doesn’t necessarily translate into 2x the odds of pulling one Mythic from a given set of keys, but it’s definitely more efficient than Gem chests are, if your aim is solely Legendaries and Mythics. > [@Video: New Player Basics to Spending ALL Resources](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/video-new-player-basics-to-spending-all-resources/11683/17): > > Except the math doesn’t quite work like that. Assume, for the sake of argument, that there is a 0.1% chance to draw a Mythic from a Gem chest. You then have a 1% chance to draw one from a VIP chest. Your chances of not drawing a Mythic on each pull is 99.9% and 99%, respectively. In your example, you are investing 2,250 gems, which gives you 250 Gem pulls or 50 VIP pulls, respectively. Your chance to get one or more Mythics from Gem chests is: Pg = 1 - (0.999^250) ~= 0.221 = 22.1% Your chanc… ---

> [@Lyya](#): > > Specifically, VIP chests cost 5x what Gem chests cost, with 10x the payout for Legendary and Mythic troops. I am only VIP 2 so VIP chest wont apply to me, will just have to keep trying with Gems (10 gems) and Glory chests. ---

Only 1 troop left that I intend on using. And only 1 epic troop with arcanes I need. Catch up is over for me unless some of the new troops on PC are useful ---
