1% chance to get the book, but damn it! I am seeing more and more players with it! I don't have the time for it... GRRRR... how lucky can these people be??

I'd need 100 friends to play with me to turn the 1% into 100%?
Doesn't 4 players going solo turn the 1% into a 4%?

That makes sense, right?

I wished you guys would stop talking about it tho, 1% is ONE PERCENT. Do my future daughter a favor, and please stop whining about OOOs being jerks.

I feel inspired and hopeful. If so many people can get the cowl so fast, there's no way my all of my friends won't have it by the end of the event.

Your math is a bit off in several ways. Evem if you were calculating the probability correctly, 99 friends would be required for a 100% chance of having the book at the first kat each of you find. That's not how probability works, though.

As long as the probability of Book drop is independent of each other (which seems to be the way OOO does things usually), you would expect to do 100 runs to get one Book, but it's not guaranteed. All it means is that the chance of you getting a Book in this encounter is the same as the chance you would have gotten the book in your previous encounter and the next one (which is 1%).

More people in the party means the same thing and doesn't increase your odd.

BINOMIAL CALCULATOR TO THE RESCUE!

Actually, if the probability of finding a book from a kat is 1% per encounter, then there would only be a 63 percent chance of finding a book after 100 encounters; that is, an encounter with a normal success rate from all of 100 friends.

Well...

Don't forget Apathy, you're always welcome to donate your books. And I don't mind relieving you of me of the weight in your inventory in the form of those books ;D

Sure, I'd like one, but I'm really not all that fussed.
I don't understand why you're posting a gripe thread about all the other gripe threads. I mean, it's not magically going to cause the rage levels of the forums to drop... was there really any point?
Edit: Apparently being apathetic helps your cause, I just got a book.

I've already had around... 80 encounters? I hope to have 220 more... if I don't get a cowl before then. 96.1% chance of finding one after 300 encounters. (0.99^300)

What Zeddy said.

What can I say? We share more or less the same goal. The difference between Zeddy and I is that he's grinded his butt off for just 700 pages while I've gotten roughly half yet gotten four books. One used for myself, another... that's another story... and two lying in my arsenal, waiting for me to give them away to my dearest friends in need of Cowls.

@Krakob: Now we all wish we were your dearest friend! Cool to hear of someone beating the odds!

@OP: On the one hand, I am happy to see people get the book drop, and beat the boss for the kat helm. Cool to see some of us getting good loot.

On the other hand, it makes me want to play a bunch more and buy e-pass again... it's like OOO knows that I'm addicted to SK!

I am never envious of another knight when I see the black kat helm, instead I am glad to see it exists, and that I have the same chance of finding a book as they do.

i have one but don't use it

i have one but don't use it as a costume piece :)

and when the event is over i'm selling my cat tribe fetishes (and hopefully an other book) and going to roll some sweet uv's on the thing haha

make it more of a "cannon" instead of a "glass cannon" well used with a divine mantle it's realy ok (except when getting cursed hahaha) the damage bonus is just to good to not use :D
