helloeveryone said: "That's not how it works >.> it's not a 150% chance." 5 30% scrolls. each one is a 30% chance. all used on a seperate red snowshoe. How is that not a 150% chance one of them will work?

Basically every scrolling experience I have is a bad experience... Well, unless I'm using my Bandit. That guy tends to have so much luck when it comes to scrolling.

I blasted 7 clean Black Old Wisconsins and a 4 INT, 8 M.ATK earring, ALL because of 70%'s. You know, the ones which have a 15% chance of destroying your item, but it happened 8 TIMES IN A ROW! 100(0.15^8) = 0.000026%!

I did something terrible a while ago. Tried scrolling my 2 att PAC. I saw that STR scrolls were cheaper so I chose them instead of DEX. I then saw that 60% scrolls were about 3m ea while 70% scrolls were like 1m ea. Since I am cheap, I bought 5 70%s. 4 OF THEM WORKED AND IT WENT BOOM ON LAST SLOT! =( Over 10m down the drain.... poor me. =(

Well.. I used a 100% scroll on a hunters bow before... I lost a slot, didn't get an upgrade, and the scroll went poof. There was no message of the scroll being used D= I had 7, so if it dropped, it would have asked the "drop how many" thing.

Chance of at least one working = '100%' minus 'chance of none working' 1.0-0.7*0.7*0.7*0.7*0.7 = 1.0 - 0.16807 = 0.83193 = 83.193% So, the chances that any of your scrolls would work = 83.193%, not 150% Added: Chances that all explode 0.35*0.35*0.35*0.35*0.35 = 0.00525219 = 0.525219% -- My experiences: -Last two projects- Spent: 500m Result: Items worth 70m Hooray!

Probability doesn't work like that. You had 5 different 30% chances. The probability of an event occurring is NEVER more than 100%.
