    This is exactly how rng works.

    Random does not mean you get a predictable pattern across a small sample size. Nor does it mean 97% is guaranteed to succeed or 1% is guaranteed to fail. It means random. You can predict the most likely outcome over time, but it's never guaranteed. You could get nothing from a 50% chance ten times in a row or succeed a 10% chance ten times in a row.

    And the only way to notice those is to gather a lot more than 10. Way more. The larger the sample, the closer it will get to the specified percentages. And by large I mean very large. In my time gathering various things, I've seen all the things Liam mentions and more. My advice? Don't take the percentage as gospel, be patient, be prepared to spend some time gathering. As simple as that.
