To Devs: Important Question on Odds
2 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 30th 2014 at 10:34 AM hrs There has been a lot of confusion regarding how odds work. Can a dev please explain it so that we are all clear. Let me take an example scenario- Say you can only win mana, energy, power, and nothing from whacking. And the absolute odds for each are mana : 20%, energy : 20%, power : 20%, and nothing 40% summing up the probability of winning one of these four items to 1. Now, say a player gets trinkets such that his mana odds are increase by +50%, and his nothing odds are decreased by -50%. What will the new absolute odds for mana, energy, power, and nothing be in the above scenario?

In your question I can't actually answer as to what goes down when you up something else. BUT read #3. 3. the odds I speculate above are the 'base' odds of something coming out of a bush. When you 'modify' that with a trinket or rune you DO NOT add the trinket or rune directly to the base, you adjust the base by that effect of the trinket or rune. Foe exaample, if gold is 'base' 20% and you use a 60% rune on top of that, you do not get 80% for gold, you get 32%, that's 60% more then the base of 20. the following, and perhaps some other posts, has information imparted to me by a Dev on this subject. http://forum.codenameentertainment.com/?thread_id=8030 http://forum.codenameentertainment.com/?thread_id=3753
