How difficult is it to find/roll off-color sockets?

But there is a chance for a socket to not be green, which is where the .9 comes into play. Plus, there 4 total sockets.

Lets take your answer of 1/100 for 2 green sockets even when I'm rerolling 4 total sockets. Using your dice analogy, you are saying there is the same chance to roll 2 sixes on 2 dice (1/36) as there is to roll exactly 2 sixes on 4 dice

Is this what you're saying?

Because that is wrong.

Exactly 2 sixes on 4 dice:

1/6 * 1/6 * 5/6 * 5/6 = .0193. This needs to be multipled by 6 due to 6 combinations.

.0193 * 6 = .1159

Now, lets check Wolfram Alpha....

answer is .1157. The difference is due to rounding on my part.

Please do not tell others to go to school when you need a refresher course yourself

Guys, guys :) hold on... where did u get, that chance to "get green" (or any other off-color) socket is 1/10?

Its a chance quoted earlier in this thread to roll an off-color socket in a piece of gear, which we all assumed to be correct. I'm not sure if thats real or not.

For instance, in straight armor gear, blue and green are off-color sockets. Red = armor, green = evasion, blue = ES

No of course not.

My bad. But now I know what you mean. I misread one posting and got the wrong message.
We were arguing about different things.

No problem. This game has a lot of mechanics to learn and probabilities, so I want to make sure things are clear because this stuff causes lots of confusion.

Hi, would anyone please show me the odds of rolling an RRRRRG or RRRRGG on a pure ES chest? much appreciated thanks!
