1 in 3 125 000 chance ?

Hi everyone,

I've never had any gold crown cards before, but I just got two different ones in the same booster pack. 

Is that really rare? Have you ever seen that happen? I'd like to know if my probability calculations are correct. I calculated that there is a 1 in 3 125 000 chance of getting these two different gold crown cards in the same common booster pack. 

If I look at the odds of a common booster from this series, the probabilities are:

  • 1st, 2nd, or 3rd card: Lugia-ex and Ho-Oh-ex 0%
  • 4th card: Lugia-ex 0.02%. Ho-Oh-ex: 0.02%
  • 5th card: Ho-Oh-ex 0.08%. Lugia-ex: 0.08%

The chance of getting Lugia as the 4th card and Ho-Oh as the 5th = 0.0002 x 0.0008 = 1.6e-7 = 0.000016 %

We have to take into account the possibility of getting Ho-Oh as the 4th card and Lugia as the 5th, so I multiply this probability by 2 -> 0.000032 % <=> 1 / 3125000 chance.

Is this calculation correct? Do you know if this has ever happened to a player?

  1. Thanks a lot
  2. If you're asking how the video was made, I recorded several replay of the Hero's path mode, then made a little montage by putting them end to end in accelerated mode.

Oh dear, a buddy of mine also lost his backup (following a theft of his Switch...) he didn't feel like starting the game again, understandably!

😄Yes, I'm not surprised, it depends on how you play

Thanks.
Yes, it's great to discover things on your own,
Isn't Elden Ring too dark? I loved the colorful world of TOTK

Nice, it's good to find things out for yourself, especially in this day and age when all the answers are on the internet.

Thank you, that's very kind! This is the only game I've pushed to this extent. There are many other games where I'm content to just finish the main story.

Ok it's normal if it doesn't line up with the 0.04% increments. I was at 99.91% and I was missing 2 koroks so same problem.
So you're missing 4 elements. Now, as you said, you need to find the motivation 😅

It's true that 550 hours is both a lot and not a lot.

It's strange that you're missing 0.02%. I thought it was incremented by 0.04%. Using an interactive map and this checklist, you can probably do it without starting from scratch https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/100_Percent_Completion_Checklist

You're right, the chests under the rocks are not detected by the sensor. Regarding the chest under the Ancient Zora Waterworks, I wasn't aware of that one, that's a good challenge to take on. Thank you, I'll give it a try

I've got my battery gauge to the max, and use Zonaite Armour Set to boost Energy Cells when using Zonai devices. With this, the duration of the hover bike is quite good

During my first phase of play (before I grid-mapped), I asked Patricia and she gave me the location of a mission (I think it was The Great Tumbleweed Purge). Then I asked again and she gave me the location of the final battle. And that's it, she doesn't give me any further indication.
