i roll a UV ticket 3 times in a roll on my divine avenger which already has vs slime low but all 3 times i roll i get back slime low and eating up my crowns
it is not replace with another UV but giving back the same UV over and over
UV ticket does not guarantee a UV on every roll

ya i think there are some bugs with it as I rolled 3 times in a row on a haze bomb and got the same uv back each time. and yes it ate the crowns as well so not very happy about it.

Actually..
Where does it say that you get a *different* (not new) UV each time? It's a roll, which to me means that you run the risk of getting the same UV. I would imagine that low UVs are more common, so the likelihood of getting the same crappy low UV is pretty good.

As with being 'unbindable', 0* (i.e. Proto gear) and starless items (i.e. Rose Regalia) cannot obtain UVs.

It's frustrating when this happens.
From seven one variant tickets, I have had "Damage to Beast: Low" and "Damage to Slime: Low" come up on consecutive UV rolls.
I'll get that very high CTR on my Leviathan one day ;)

- Punch can add one, two or
- Punch can add one, two or three random unique variants to items in exchange for crowns.
- Punch's UV service erases any of the previous UVs on the item.
- Vise can unbind an item in exchange for energy.
- 0 star and starless items (costumes) cannot be unbound.
it does not indicate that proto gear cannot obtain UV,they just cant be unbound
if it really cannot gain UV,why is it able to be put onto the window with the uv ticket and transmute

I suppose they just assumed that no one would ever spend crowns on trying to put a UV on their Proto Sword, or etc. And if they did, that they'd have such an abundance of crowns that they wouldn't really care about losing 15k.

a support ticket. they are the only one who can help you.
and i feel your pain. 15k crowns isn't a fortune....but its no small amount either.

Greetings,
There have been
Greetings,
There have been a few reports about getting the same UV multiple times in a row. In the interests of science (and to blow almost a million crowns) I decided to do a rough test to see how common this is. To clarify, as other posters have said, the system destroys the old UV and rolls a new one. This does not guarantee you get a new UV every time.
I performed 50 single UV rolls on my proto sword (which did let me put a UV on it).
3x (UV the same two consecutive re-rolls)
1x (UV the same three consecutive re-rolls)
which leaves
46x (the UV changed from one roll to the next)
This isn't a very large sample size, so this does not represent the actual odds to roll items. It does look like the cases of getting three UVs in a row are just very rotten luck. If anyone can find a scenario that guarantees this run of bad luck, that is different and please let us know so we can test.
Thank you everyone for your reports.

You performed 50 UV rolls on your proto sword? Mafiaso will be most impressed. You should totally add him ingame. Did you roll any very high asi/ctr UV's?

Laverna, Coriolis is a game master lol.
I've experienced this multiple times including rolling the same UV 3 times in a row. Maybe I'm just unlucky but I've rolled under 30 times and I've had it happen on 3 different occurrences. Seems like something that should be prevented at least but whatever. If this is indeed a bug I'll be bugging it when it happens in the future. I just figured I was incredibly unlucky D:

I rolled again on proto sword
I rolled again on proto sword and no UV came up as well..there goes all my crowns.
it seems that 3 times in a row is the max on getting the same UV..anyone can confirm this?
Since the merchant patch crafting has problem for me too.
before the patch i craft 10 haze bomb everyday and there would be at least 1 or 2 UV
its been like 1 week and and i craft 10 everyday but not even one UV appear
i just cannot believe that its bad luck.
Could it be that my account is bugged since even with UV ticket i cant get UV.

@Kaze
It is bad luck. I've crafted loads and loads of Haze bombs the pass weekend. I've gotten about 5 UVs and 3 times now 2 UV's on one item. This is out of 20 or so haze bombs in 4 days.

Uh
The repeated uVs are most likely bad luck.
Rolling and getting no UV is most likely a bug, that's why I told him to report it.

Not being able to roll UVs on a proto sword is clearly a bug. If it is not supposed to be possible, the bug is that it allows you to try at all. (No, GeminiDreams, assuming that anyone trying to put a UV on a proto sword wouldn't care about being out 15k and not getting a UV is not reasonable at all.) The fact that Coriolis was able to put UVs on a proto sword certainly suggests that it should be possible. So definitely file a bug report if you have not already.
it seems that 3 times in a row is the max on getting the same UV..anyone can confirm this?
Highly unlikely. From Coriolis's experiment, it seems the probability of rolling the same UV an item already has on any given roll is about 1 in 10. This is in good agreement with what we've been told about a UV being chosen at random, and there being 8 kinds of UVs to choose from, with a small chance of getting a "medium" or higher variation. If you start with a UV you don't want and go for a re-roll, you have roughly a 1/10 chance of getting the same one back. If you re-roll twice, it's roughly 1/100 that you get the same UV twice. 1/1000 for 3 in a row. 1/10000 for 4 in a row. Now, I don't have any figures on the number of UV rolls that have been performed, but it seems plausible to me that there have been between 1000 and 10000 performed by people who might post about it on the forum, which would make it likely for us to have reports of 3 in a row, but not yet 4 in a row.
its been like 1 week and and i craft 10 everyday but not even one UV appear
It seems weird that things would be consistently bugged for you personally and not other people, but not knowing anything about how things are implemented I can't rule it out, particularly given the clearly bugged behavior on your proto sword and string of other unlikely results with UV tickets. It's certainly possible that this run of non-UV haze bombs is just bad luck, though. I'll take your assertion that you have literally not had one UV at face value. Assuming the probability of a UV on any given craft is still about 1/10, your odds of getting no UVs in a day's 10 attempts are about 35%. The odds of this happening for "like a week" depends on just how many days that includes. For 5 days, it's about 1 in 200. 6 days, 1 in 550. 7 days, 1 in 1600. Not very likely for an individual, but how many people are mass crafting haze bombs? If there are a few hundred, it's likely that one of them would have the experience of not getting a UV in the last 5-6 days. It's certainly possible you just got the short straw.

This can be a bug, i remember
This can be a bug, i remember when i was mass raging sealed swords, i have rolled Uv low slime 3x on 3 diffferent seals
and 1 4x on low slime. i could be wrong. please test this more Gm, we'd love to know.
i just tried it on my acheron which have vs construct high and got back the same UV again.......
