Found and used 2 more orb of chance (both on mesh boots). The result were 1 magical and 1 rare.
Proud 5th duelist in the Jul 1 2012 Ladder Race and in the Nov 3 2012 Solo Turbo Race :D
And even prouder 4th Templar in the Nov 10 Four-hour Party Hardcore Race :P
Current OB success:
top 20 Ranger in 105 Minute Turbo Solo (S4E9)
30 magic, 6 rare, all on gold rings and onyx amulets.
Updated, thanks :)
I keep seeing people say it's a "1 in 5" or "1 in 4" chance for getting rares. I must be REALLY unlucky, because I have used over 25 orbs and have ONLY gotten magic items. Maybe I'm bugged? It's at the point that I just don't use Chance orbs anymore. There is no point.

Spruced up the main post. Should be an easier and more condensed read now - if it causes issues for some reason, let me know.

I like the new opening post :) Though IMHO the red text is a bit hard to read...

It's prob 1:5.4 each time, so you have just gotten the RNG shaft :)

I'll give yellow a go for the non-bolded text. Should stand out more. :) Thanks for the feedback.
