RNG: How fake is it?

[Eye_Gore]

Then what is the 95% out of? If not 100, then what? >.> Percentage has to be out of something. 1000? 2000? a million? lol

I guess we may never know >.>

Its out of a 100% chance you'll get it on that try. Alot of people think that the percentage is based on 100 tries. So that if you have a 95% chance at something if you craft 100 of them 95 will make it, or if its a 5% chance then 5 out of 100 will make it.

That is not how the system works, its all based on a single try. It is mostly noticeable on gathering classes and % chance at gathering a HQ item. If you have 20% chance at HQ and gather 100 times, chances are your gathered HQ item is going to be more or less than 20 gathered. Same goes for crafting.

I guess maybe think of it as a roll of the die. A die has 6 sides, 6 numbers. You have a 1 in 6 chance (or a 16.6% chance) you will roll a 2. Roll the die 6 (or 100) times, how many times will you get a 2? You may get it once, twice, or 6 times, (more or less than 16) Now this example has to deal with the physical world so variations exist, like what RNG tries to accomplish.
