Chromatic 6 Link Chest

Is it impossible to get 3R 1B 2G on this chest:

If a piece of gear is strength only, red sockets have a 80% chance to roll while green and blue each have a 10% chance to roll.

If a piece of gear is strength and intelligence, red and blue sockets have a 45% chance to roll while green sockets have a 10% chance to roll.

Gear that does not have any attribute alignment, the only one being Sadima's Touch, the sockets seem to be strictly 33.333% each.

So what about Dex?

Dex would be 80% green, 10% red, 10% blue. Just use the example I gave.

The chances of you getting exactly what you want are extremely low.

Edit:

Six sockets. You want GGRRRB.

80% x 80% x 10% x 10% x 10% x 10% = 0.000064%

That's roughly the chances you're looking at.

Seems about right I've used 1500 Chromatics already and still not got it, just giving up and selling it and buying one with the sockets I need.

that's the approach I take on any predominantly off color item.
I just use chroms to roll what an item wants to roll

That's not how statistics with permutations works.

Firstly, the odds don't seem to be 80/10/10 and rather depend on the amount of the required stat. For a high level piece like that, the ratio may be 80/10/10 or it may be something else, like 84/8/8.

Secondly, there are many different permutations(different arrangements of the same colors) for the desired sockets. For example, GGRRRB is equivalent to BRRRGG, GRRRBG, etc. There are actually 60 combinations for these socket colors, and according to the online chrome calculator there is a 0.22% chance of rolling one of them.

More importantly, you have around a 99.78% chance of NOT rolling a valid combo.

After 100 orbs, this drops to 80.2% chance of NOT rolling a valid combo.

After 500 orbs, this drops to 33.2% chance of NOT rolling a valid combo.

After 1000 orbs, this drops to 11.05% chance of NOT rolling a valid combo.

Expect to use a lot of chromes.

I wonder what would happen to the frustration level if all differing armors had an equal chance to roll any color? Maybe it'd make the situation worse?

80/10/10 is just community estimate. Exact formula is unknown

but it was confirmed by devs that odds depend on item stat requirements. The higher stat requirement the lower chance to roll off-colors. Yo can increase your chances a bit by rolling local reduced stat requirement modifier

I would just sell it and buy AR/EV chest

Decided to stick with chroming it, after well over 2000 chromes I finally got it RRRBGG and chao's + exalted into a decent stat chest!
