Cutting stones!

I only know one method, but it works for me.

Choose the engraving you want as your primary and put the 75% and 65% on it, and 55% on the secondary.

All lower chances, naturally, go to red engraving.

If your rng is kinda bad, and the reds are poppin’, and you have 7/10 on red and only 5 on primary and secondary, it’s time to lower the criterion and put the 45% on secondary, 55% on primary.

Combine that with a 3-stone rule: 3 stone max per character, cut all 3 and pick the best one.

Out of 6 characters, I got 1 7/7 stone, 4 8/7 stones and one 9/6 stone, so I guess it works for me.

Although I’ve been told I was just lucky, so not sure :smiley:

50% for a 7/7 no. iirc those are like 6%. just follow one of the calculators you weirdos

4

I truly have no need for such a thing xD I understand odds quite well, but thank you :slight_smile:

I cut a stone of 950 gold, it is expensive but it does not reach 7/7

6

Why would you pay 950 for a stone??

I wouldn’t pay that much if it came together with a Stone of chaos xD

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

no

you can use the calculator
it is calculating probability which will give you your stone much quicker than you just winging it

but the calculator is not fun
i don’t use it

Sometimes you gotta just use your intuition, especially when them reds be poppin’ at 25%

probability is different from a chance to succeed and humans can’t internalize probability

but in the end it’s entirely luck
a 9/7 rock is flipping a coin 30 times and calling every heads or tails correctly

11

You know it’s not xD

That would be a 10/10 stone with 0 hits xD

But close enough

12

9/7/0 is 16 nodes from 30

you start off from 75% so your average is 17 nodes succeding

10/10 is 20 nodes those are really rare to occur they aren’t only about you guessing correctly

13

That’s way too complicated for me this early in the morning.

But hey, I’m pretty sure chances are better than 9.31 e10^-10 which is fliiping a coing 30 times and calling them all xD

14

well a 9/7/1 allows you to guess incorrectly 5 times

That is mindblowing. I’m not even gonna bother to check that

16

if you pay attention while you are fasceting you will notice that your average stone is 16 nodes succeeding

the hard part is guessing where they succeed :smiley:
thats why the chance of getting a9/7/1 is 0.03%

probability is just something we can’t really comprehend
our brains are not equipped for it

Lmao using calculators. Just cut it like a man.

Usually get 7/7 within 3 tries

My man :money_mouth_face:

There is no such thing as 50% chance lol. why would they do that. but there is tools to help you, you can try this one

20

Yup. And 50% = 5% in Lost Ark, so you probably don’t want my method.

I’ve cut 13 stones that were 500g each and my best two were 6/7.

21

i know the pain mate. used 100k, to cut a 8/6 stone on my main.
and when Artist came, i cut a 7/7 stone 1st try.
Better Pray to the RNG gods :smiley:

if you try to get a 7/7 and put both 75 and 65 on the same engraving then probably not
