rhinox0315 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I'm lvl 58 miner with no ammy of glory (i think thats the one that increases chances of getting a gem. anyways I was recently mining in port khazard mines and mined 2 saphs out of the same iron ore before getting an ore. I know the odds of getting one gem isn't that great so I was just wondering what the odds would be that i would pull 2 gems in a row. Anyone know the numbers? I would guess that I've probably pulled 1 gem every (roughly) somewhere between 500-1000 ores, so i guess that would make the odds of pulling 2 in a row something like 1 in 250000-1000000? Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviej Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 odds of getting 2 gems in a row is odds of geting 1 gem squared which is his guess... i find it likely that anywhere between 4 and 50 people mine 2 gems in a row a day... i'd also think that only once a week does that pair not include a saphire, if there are instances where it doesn't at all My account spent most of the last 10 months "locked" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan_Chat_Op Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 its happened once before to me, but i got a saphire and emerald out of the same one while mining under the grand tree. I skill. If you skill you should join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsanity Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 *shrug* I don't think it's TOO rare, because I know of lots of people who it has happened to. It happened to me twice. First time I got an emerald and ruby out of the same rock, and second time I got 2 diamons out of the same rock. Ah well. Either way, I'm sure it's not really too rare. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Not that rare, It happens to me all the time.

SBD_Izzy Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Does anyone have a link to any 'safe' site that has these drop rate odds posted? I am doing some studies on drop rates and i would not want to bother myself with work that has already been done. Hopeful the information could help me.
