The luckiest luck to ever be called luck.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Haven't been on here in years, however, this lucky luck has made me want to show it off.

 

Before I show you the pics, going by average drop rates, the chance of this is 1/562,500.

 

Without further ado:

Of course it's not a sigil, but the extremely low chance of this happening had me shocked.

Chance of this happening is equal to the drop rate of steads ;). Congratulations :D.

Thanks haha. Definitely lucky.

 

Think I'm gonna try my luck at corp, haven't been there since before gano.

 

It's not quy. To figure out probability of two events happening back to back you have to multiply the chances. Chance of any boot at glacors is 1/250, making the chance of getting steads 1/750. Multiply 750*750 = 562,500.

 

I'm also sure I am one of few who have done this since the release. If not the first, proving that the chance of B2B steads is far from 1/750.

The chances of getting b2b steads if you kill two glacors now are steadfast drop rate squared, sure. But in general, the chances of getting a second pair of steadfast boots after the first, is equal to the drop rate (e.g. 1/750 using your numbers). 1 in every 750 steadfast boot drops is followed by another steads drop.

We aren't debating the chance of steads here though :P

 

We are debating the chance of back to back steads.

 

Same as flipping a coin. 1/2 chance it'll be heads, 1/2 chance it'll be heads again. Now you have to multiply meaning 1/4 chance of it being heads twice in a row.

Saw my cousin get b2b visage. its just totally random, and as threadstarter says, the chance is really very small!

My lame drops:
6 Effigys
1 D Med - 1 D Dagger
1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody

Well I'll be damned if that's true haha. That would be 10x rarer than my b2b steads. About 1/5,625,000

well it depends on what perspective you look at it, any statistician /applied mathematics professor will tell you its the same chance of getting steads once is same as getting them b2b due to the nature of "TRUE RANDOMNESS." But if you ask another mathematics professor in the discipline of algebra/trigonometry/calculus etc... they will tell you its either [the chances of getting a steadfast boots]^2 or [the chances of getting a steadfast boots]X2,

 

so in a way your both right, it just depends on what perspective you have and which kind of professional you ask :P

Point here is though, if it was chance of steads x2 or just the chance of steads, then I'd have b2b steads 3 times already :P I have not found any evidence/claims of this posted ANYWHERE and I've searched trying to see if anyone has claimed it yet. Leads me to believe I am the first to do it and that it is much more rare than that.

 

By the way, I use swiftkit, that is swiftkit's adventure log center.

Ehh the chances of getting a pair of steads on kill x+1 GIVEN that you already have gotten one on kill x is the same as chances of getting one on any kill since drops are independent from each other. What quy is saying is that over a large sample on the kills AFTER you already get a pair of steads, roughly 1/750 of the time you will have another pair of steads, and thus, B2B steads.

Okay, cool. The chance is of back to back is still the square of the odds of one pair.

 

Very nice drops.

I think it's the definition of the term that is confusing some of you. Some of you take the term "back to back" as a conditional probability such as letting the event A be the glacor dropping a steadfast boost. Now P(A|A) which is the probability that an event A will happen given the event A has already happened is equal to P(A) if A is independent which we assume is. However the other people understand "back to back" as two in a row which is simply P(A)*P(A), it just depends on how you define "back to back". It could be used either way honestly.

 

Anyways I've killed a bit of them myself but gotten really bored of them since they don't want to drop me anything. Nice drops :D
