I've been thinking and doing some math calculations. I got stuck with this question. What's the probability of getting a wildpad from a myst box?

 

Let's get a percentage!

 

 

Okay, I did some experiments, and I got that there's a 1/300 possibility of getting the rare mode!

That's 1 / 300 * 100: The porcentage of getting the rare mode is 0.3333%! (Approx)

Wow, that's such a lottery!

 

But, my question remains, and the percentage of getting a wildpad?

 

Let's say that you can get 2 items from the rare mode. If we say that the percent of getting them is the same, We get that the percentage of getting a wildpad from a myst box is 0,166666667%! (Approx)

 

So, how many myst boxes should we buy for getting a wildpad?

I did some tests with scratch and some plans. 

For getting a wildpad you need to buy approx... 2545024 boxes!

 

How many gold wasted?

Well, that's easy, we do 2545024 * 3750, and we get... 9543840000!!

How many gold is that? Well... 9.543.840.000 30a83899d43b156384be84db854210fd.png 10B in UK, or 10.000B in USA.

And... How many $ is that? Well, the higher plat pack shows $199.99 (200$) For 50,000g.

We need to do 9.543.840.000 / 50,000 * 200 . That's... ~38.175.360$!! (38M)

Heh. Now you know why the myst box has been implemented. :P

I highly doubt that the probability of getting rare mode is only 1/300, did you open 300 mystboxes to test this?

Let's just say it's a random chance.

 

Check mate Maths, you never been useful to me.

No, but I checked some stuff and code.

Yeah, I say that the percent is 0,166666667%, but I didn't say "You never get wildepads"

you said the possibility of getting the rare mode is 1/300 but then u say thats 100/300. what do u mean? if there was a 1/300 chance of getting a rare mode that means its a 0.00333% chance

1/3 = 33.3333%. 1/30 = 3.3333%. 1/300 = 0.3333%
Although I don't get why he proceeded to say 100/300...

when using decimals i meant it as in 1=100%, not 100=100% lol

To get the percent of one fraction, you need to do x / y * 100.

x = 1, y = 300.

So, you can do x * 100 first, and you get 100/300.

 

Althrough, it's the same, because 1 / 300 * 100 == 100 / 300.

I'm 100% sure that its much easier or your math is flawed. If the chances were THAT low then there wouldn't even be one in the game yet as I'm pretty sure people haven't bought 2.5 million mystery boxes in all. That would mean that every user would've had to have bought roughly 5 mystery boxes which is most definitely not the case.
