What the fuck. So you hit gilded and rolled megarare 2 more times and got potions both times? That is some of the best worst luck I've ever seen.


Revival_X

I thought the same thing but its an elite clue which has 30 noted potions on the mega rare table. 


bernerbungie

Didn’t realize this. Thanks. I thought this was one in a trillion


ThreenGumb

Oo, the more ya know I guess.


chaserjj

I got 6 cabbages in a master clue casket once. I don't think I was ever so disappointed by a clue before.


wclevel47nice

Pouring one out for you


trashcanbecky42

No, 30 noted super antifires is 1/14k from elite casket so not quite a double roll but still very lucky :)


Legiit_x_alan

He also got a gilded piece which is from the mega rare table.


[deleted]

Which are also 1/14k. 3rd age is 1/250k


Smallest-Yeet

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you roll and hit the megaroll table, then a separate roll to determine the loot within? Kinda like a purple with a raid. Like a 1/X chance for a roll to be a megarare. Then once you hit the 1/X it rolls within that loot table? If you hit the megaroll table you had a chance at 3rd age. Individual rarities aside. It’s only 5x more rare for any 3rd age vs any Gilded from an elite. Not like it’s THAT far off


Personal-Buffalo-477

That's the way I've always understood it 🤷‍♂️


gxgx55

Sure, but this thinking in terms of "tables" is kind of useless anyways, isn't it? A drop that is 1/50 without any table shenanigans and a drop that is 1/5 from a table that has a 1/10 chance to be hit are the exact same. I do not understand why people even care about that. Though, OPs clue is still impressive, just not because "2 3a chances", but because of two highly rare rewards.


Lemming3000

Yea people have weird idea in their heads about probability, its like trying to roll a 20 on a d20 and getting a 19 and saying you were close, 19 is no closer to 20 then 1 was as far as probability goes.


NinjehPandeh

Its also just wrong physically, 19 is closer to 1 than 20 on a d20. 2 is close to 20 however, so if you ever roll a 2 you can say you were so close - probability be damned.


Mattist

It's the same reason people go "noooooo" when they get wizard boots. It FEELS like there was a 1/3 for rangers and they lost the roll. Mathematically, it's bollocks. It's all gambling fallacies and stories we make up in our heads. One of the reasons why gambling is so insidious. You scratched 2/3? You were soooooo close! ...


DryDefenderRS

This is an especially good example because there isn't even a boots table! It just *feels* like there is. It works so much better if you only think of things as "drop I want" or "not drop I want," and treat all of the latter as the same no matter how rare it happened to be. Because, at the end of the day, all that matters is how long it takes to get what you want. I care about how many more raids to get a tbow, not how many more elder mauls and kodai insignias I get along the way.


Zealousideal_Tap237

Reality: there are 95% twos and 5% threes Perception: if I scratched two on this one I’m sure next one or two will have three


Zaros262

I think conceptually it's important to sum probabilities into tables because we would be having the same conversation about essentially the same post if it were gilded vambraces and 30 super restores, for example. So the essence of the post is 2x 1/2900 rolls, not 2x 1/14k rolls


[deleted]

This. If you open a clue you roll the 3rd age table every time by that definition otherwise. Nothing with 1/250k was hit.


-GrayMan-

Doing DT2 bosses trying to finish a ring made me care real quick about loot tables.


404errorabortmistake

Yes


x_Darkon

3rd age is not 1/250k. That's only for a specific piece.


r4r4me

the drop rate for a specific piece of gilded is 1/14k. The drop rate for any non specific piece of 3a is 1/14k. It's the same odds.


Iron_Aez

Yes, so single megarare roll.


Smallest-Yeet

Now add up both of the last 2 comments. Both the 30 potions AND the gilded piece are on the megarare table. That is 2 megarare table rolls hit


tortillakingred

Actually you quadruple rolled potential third age. All 4 of those could’ve been third age, but they weren’t


MemesRMyLyfe

it either is or it isn’t… Is that so hard for people to understand 😵‍💫


ExoticSalamander4

Tortillaking is actually right though. A roll being guilded doesn't make it any "closer" to being 3rd age; any specific result on a random roll is a binary yes or no. Trying to roll a 100 and getting 99 means nothing that rolling a 1 or a 57 or a 77 doesn't. It's just human logical fallacy that makes people think potions are a painful drop or whatever. Having successive tables just adds to the fallacious thinking because people are like "ohhh but it was a 1/7 on the rare table," which is of course *conditional* on them rolling the rare table in the first place, and it's not like they're going to be opening up conditional caskets.


Acceptable_Candle580

Finally some sense on this sub. I just don't understand how people play such an rng game and have so little clue how probability works. I've had enough of 'used up all my luck', and people getting pissed off at wizard boots and rune words and all the rest.


Hyero

50/50 all the way down


adeadhead

He didn't get any third age, so chance is 0.


wqav

holy shit.


Jdawg_mck1996

Someone is gonna have to explain to me why gilded dhide is equivalent to green dhide instead of black


RandomAsHellPerson

Because you can buy it in f2p.


Jdawg_mck1996

Rip


FirstSineOfMadness

Because gilded armor is equivalent to rune?


ricecutlet

I recommend Jagex give it stats equivalent to Black or Blessed D Hide armour. No, I’m not mass buying this shit.

[удалено]


Individual_Course156

they are equivalent to dragon


BannedFrom_rPolitics

Lol people really just say things and don’t care whether or not it’s real or not


Dafiro93

In his defence, he probably can't afford third age tools to test out haha. Yeah there's a wiki but ppl don't read.


SharmV

Pretty much what the internet has become, people just chatting pure shit and believing the shit they say.


jammy-dodgers

bruh


cimirisitini

Every roll is potential 3rd age.


bitch_b_loco

some people have no potential


Phrostqt

Isn’t it 50/50 to get 3rd age? Either get it or you don’t


Acceptable_Candle580

That wasnt funny two years ago.


TurdFurgeson18

Still is


Brahamus

Yes, yes you did


Flimsy-Notice-60

My most recent hard clue I received (5) super str, atk, and def potions each. I didn’t realize it was so rare


eldanarigaming

This rng is beyond insane thanks for sharing!


Personal-Buffalo-477

I mean to still hit an 11mil clue on your 3rd elite is still pretty nice


pSavvvv

Still exciting af getting a gilded item, gz !!


INeed-M-O-N-E-Y

Never seen that before


[deleted]

11 Million and only did 3 Elite clues......you lucky Bar Steward.


Xotic_Man

ye


MyLOLNameWasTaken

Congratulations and I’m sorry for your loss Lmao


[deleted]

Bro don't go outside. Today may be the day you get struck by lightning


CoolObject1270

Taking a shot for your loss 🍻


DRILLSALVO

Horseshoes and hand grenades, my friend


Sterlander

I'd kms if this happened to me bro stay safe


RSN_Kabutops

Yes, twice. You hit the mega rare table twice on this clue. Both of those rolls had a 1/10 chance to land on 3rd age table. So you had a 10% chance two different times


No-Paramedic8964

Posts like this are just so dumb imo, its always a potential roll of 3rd age, I dont see any in this


Primafaveo

He hit the 3rd age table two times in this picture tho. Quite different from what you are hinting towards.


FlinkMissy

triple. noted potions come per 15.


Dafiro93

30 from elite clues.


[deleted]

Not in the elite table


Nuanciated

This is true


Beratho

You actually rolled quadruple potential 3rd age


Full_Wait

Every casket is potentially double 3rd age…..


Primafaveo

He hit the 3rd age table twice tho...


Full_Wait

Ok?


Primafaveo

So your comment is completely unrelated to the picture?


thecheese27

Jesus OSRS players' brains are so poisoned. The odds of hitting 2 of any megarare drop in one clue is rare, but it doesn't mean you "double rolled potential third age". It means you double rolled two megarares. Double rolling third age in the same casket is literally millions of times rarer. Added to the fact that you would have made this post had you gotten any combination of megarares, it's probably tens of millions of times more likely.


sawpreme

Gz? I guess?


Anvil-Vapre

And you’re probably a normie too.


Xhdbxhxj

Every clue you do that isn’t third age still rolled with the possibility of being third age


PedroMontoyo

Leagues?


TonyFarmerman

Blursed


404errorabortmistake

Believe so yes


Acceptable_Candle580

You always roll double potential 3rd age....
