I don’t have a simple and good solution to tripods but must say that farming them for 3 days just to fail 10+ times with 30% and 15% is not the best feeling ever.

I mean you will have a full inventory of relic tripod gear with only 10% chance with powder at level 5. Doesnt feel good, but its just part of the game.
I’m not complaining about tripods, just pointing out that it’s gambling not grinding. The amount you grind is irrelevant when your tripods will ultimately be dictated by luck. IMO this is fine for horizontal progression.

Something being a part of the game doesn’t mean it’s perfect and can’t be changed.

It’s extraordinary how many people will attack you for making suggestions, they’re projecting, they just assume your intentions are the worst they can imagine, they are PROJECTING… but all they’re doing is being negative, hostile, and not helping discussion at all, which is why I wind up muting or ignoring a lot of people around here.
Probability is grinding
The balance is to make the grind enjoyable and not feel blatantly like a casino.
This game really fails in this regard.
That’s your opinion.
that’s implied
just like this is your opinion:

Thank you for proving you cannot have a mature conversation, welcome to my ignore list.
That’s a fact good sir.
To increase the probability of a low chance event to happen you have repeat it.
Unless you think logic and math are opinions too.
What have you guys been doing while attending school? Like honestly, the lack of basic education is astonishing in this forum.
This was your original statement:
Which actually has no meaning in English. Maybe you should self reflect before throwing insults 
Thank you for clarifying. Yes this is true, but probability doesn’t guarantee individual outcomes. Player X can grind 10x the amount of Player Y and still have worse tripods. Is that likely, on average? No. Does it happen? Yes. As I said this doesn’t bother me as much for horizontal progression, but it IS gambling and there is no guarantee that grinding will improve your outcome.
I don’t know why it is so hard for you to understand a basic principle.
Probability is based on chance and repetition.
So is gambling or grinding however you wanna call it. It doesn’t matter what word you put to it, from a factual standpoint it’s the same.
For a 10% chance event to happen with 99.9% probability you have to repeat it 66 times.
99.9% may not be guaranteed, but it’s good enough for me. We can even go to 99.99 which requires 88 repetitions. It’s a grind in the end, some get lucky and hit it first try, some need to grind out that 66 attempts.
It’s fine if you are not okey with there being a chance of success involved, but then this game is not for you nor is any other MMORPG.
Please improve your reading comprehension.
These are separate words with separate meanings though, so no, it is not factually the same. Grinding a level is not the same as grinding for another chance at rolling a tripod even though the “grinding” portion may be effectively the same. You can’t just say “it’s grinding” and ignore the gambling aspect as if it doesn’t exist. Games with grind don’t all use gambling. Grinding is also not required to get to the gambling portion, you can pay for it 
tripods are something you only ever do once per character, they are not supposed to be collected fast, complaining about tripods is like complaining about not having 11x lvl 10 gems before reaching 1400

It’s fine dude, bend reality to whatever you want it to.
If you think repeating action A is grinding and repeating B is gambling, go ahead.
I showed you the math and the logic, putting 1+1 together is up to you.
You showed that you can’t read is pretty much all.
Didn’t you just do that to Demonite… calling him out if you have nolife and play the game it possible and he hit you back with he an ICU nurse… bro the hypocrisy 
People who claim their time is precious are usually unemployed weirdos who have never had a utility bill in their name. The OP is 100% broke with tons of time on his/her hands. Noone who puts such a premium on their time would be in these forums crying constantly

“time is money” so just stop spending this precious time on video game ?
You have to do chaos to get mats, silvera, gems, coupon for cube (silver) and bossrush (gems + precious leapstone) and … tripods
Even without tripods, chaos run are the most efficient 5-6 min gametime in lost ark… (even if 10 minutes it is really efficient)
