I would say if your /nin the Valor Surcoat would probably be a good piece for the enmity. But any other time i agree with Vel. theres really no such thing as too much VIT, and especially endgame Enmity is rarly a problem for PLD's who are not /nin |

Even still I would argue the valor surcoat but that's just because I think that /NIN's gear themselves slightly wrong for what they are doing, although I do see the liking in the valor surcoat if you're one of those people who does dyna relentlessly and just didn't have CoP done because of the amount of pain in the ass it is. |

Well that's my opinion as a Paladin. Everyone plays their character to their liking and has their own opinons. Dynamis is fun I miss it I only did it for about a year with VS. Xarca hates them unfortuantely so I was not able to see a surcoat but hey I have the rest of my relic. |

Actually, just like two weeks ago, they finally got another one. I think they said it was their first Surcoat in like 2 years. |

If the numbers have to be in the correct order your odds are a lot lower, were they specific on that though...? I dunno where you got those percents but I had something like 1:30,000 (using some weird odds calculator) or so to win the rank 1 if the order mattered. But my math sucks so, not saying you're wrong Still good luck , I'll be happy with a freaking rain hat lol

Order does matter, but the odds calculations that Gam did are correct. Your odds calculator probably assumed a lottery with the numbers pulled "without replacement" meaning that you couldn't repeat a number in the winning combo. In this lottery, there are 5 numbers, 0-9, but unlike a real lottery (where they pull all the balls from the SAME bin) you CAN have repeated numbers. Which makes the odds simple (but much worse than the 1/30,000 for a single ticket). Any single marble has a 1/100,000 chance of winning the grand prize. Therefore, 10 marbles (assuming they each have a different 5-digit number) gives you 10x the chance to win, or 1/10,000 (for the grand prize). And 100 marbles (what I have) gives you a 1/1000 chance at the best prize. The cool part of this is that the lower rank prizes are given out for the last 4, last 3, last 2, and last single digit of the 5-digit number, so the odds of winning those prizes is 10x better for each rank. Using that logic, if you make sure that your marbles cover every possible combination they can for the number of marbles you buy, you can brute-force winning the lower rank prizes. Put simply: always buy sequential marbles! Basically, if you buy sequential marbles, the odds of winning break down like this: Rank 1 Prize: 1 marble = 1/100,000 10 marbles = 1/10,000 100 marbles = 1/1000 Rank 2 Prize: 1 marble = 1/10,000 10 marbles = 1/1000 100 marbles = 1/100 Rank 3 Prize: 1 marble = 1/1000 10 marbles = 1/100 100 marbles = 1/10 Rank 4 Prize: 1 marble = 1/100 10 marbles = 1/10 100 marbles = 1/1 (you are guaranteed to win) Rank 5 Prize: 1 marble = 1/10 10 marbles = 1/1 (you are guaranteed to win) 100 marbles = 10/1 (you are guaranteed to win 10 times) |

You guys have the correct ideal world point of veiw. In this case its like the pepsi coke contests ( that dont really exist anymore its all freaking free mp3's and crap, but back when they had 1:7 chances at winning free 20 ounce sodas) If you buy 7 soda's odds are you could win a free soda, but then again you could buy 100 soda's and not win a single one. Just like with the real lottery of 300million dollars you could buy 1,000,000 tickets increaseing your odds over everyone just too find out a 90 year old whore won buying 1 ticket. Chances are the way they have it set up with only 1500 subscribers on each server give or take 500 depending on popularity of the server; we could actually see not a single person on any server win rank 1, unless they interfer and use a system that only picks a number that was previously picked by someone else. This will be intresting to see how it plays out but 1500 lets say everyone uses the exact same reasoning behind this lottery and buys 100 tickets 100x1500 = 15,000 numbers played. I dont know the exact math seeing i just got off a 18 hour shift and i'mm balls deep in sleep but i guess i just wanted to say dont get your hopes up too much and dont be afraid if you dont have enough gil it only takes 1 to win ^^; good luck to everyone i hope you all win In this contest i plan on buying 40 tickets 10 tickets on my 4 main characters, wish me luck! |

Also this is a pretty ingenious idea to get people rehooked on this game also get at least double the mules on all servers even though each mule is only 1 dollar i would be intrested to know exactly how much they made more than they usually do because they brought this contest into play. |

Oh that clears it up more, thanks Div
I didn't realize I could rig it to win rank 4, cause that's what I wanted at least. So I'm gonna make 6 more chars so I have 10. I have a feeling that behemoth hides are going to become very common :lol: |
