" Biggloblin wrote: What is the exact chance of getting BBGGR? is it 3^5 + bias factor? Roughly 1/400? That's 0,405% (1:247) But i think he needs BGGRR. siphon is Blue, GMP is Green, Chain is also Green, LL is Red and wep ele dmg is also Red. And that leads to even worse numbers in my calculations 0,045% (1:2223). Anyways. Any combination is possible. I've seen pure armor chest with 5 blue slots already. It just doesn't worth the hassle. Like 6L. Won't ever happen to me. While it happened many-many-many times to others. Last edited by prh#1855 on Mar 7, 2013, 8:33:09 AM	Posted by prh#1855 on Mar 7, 2013, 8:25:32 AM Quote this Post

I've been playing the game on and off since spring 2012 and was not aware of the specifics of what someone posted above regarding ES gear. It seems very specific. How and where does this information come from? Thanks. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11707 I would start here, and read every page.

How and where does this information come from? Thanks. Ppl say the chance to get an off-color socket is 10%. So i'm using that number. Though yea i would also love to know the exact numbers. So if any1 knows just share it plz. Last edited by prh#1855 on Mar 7, 2013, 8:29:41 AM	Posted by prh#1855 on Mar 7, 2013, 8:28:48 AM Quote this Post

lol just rethink ur gems, those 2 reds are totally not needed on power siphon imo, ofc not everyone makes their own original builds, instead they just follow the forums and become sheeple... have a nice day, and im glad you chose an impossible to get combo...

Completely your own fault op, well at least you've learned a (expensive) lesson.	Posted by gogo4glue#4122 on Mar 7, 2013, 9:03:30 AM Quote this Post
I do think the devs need to make game mechanics more visible to players. We need more tool tips, loading screen tips and in-game guides. I'm sure there are many like the OP who don't truly understand the probabilities of rolling specific items in this game. While i wasnt as stubborn as the OP, i myself wasted orbs on items that couldn't get the mods i wanted. Difference is that i came to the forums to research after wasting about 20 with no results. You cant expect everyone to do that though.	Posted by GameQB11#0938 on Mar 7, 2013, 9:21:45 AM Quote this Post
