Once you know all the easy ways to stack luck, Rod of Discord farming shouldn't take more than 10 minutes if you have a proper cavern arena set up for spawning mobs.

@@lillypad6936 Nope, for one thing that would drastically reduce the actual chances of getting the summons, and for another, a separate roll to determine which boss summon is dropped wouldn't be affected by luck; for proof of luck affecting mech boss summons independently, see Wand of Sparking's Dream luck videos.
@@Manahina1 That's only partially true, there is a VERY small zone of overlap between one biome and the next, so technically if you hit it and kill it pixel perfectly the game ends up uncertain as to whether it counts as Hallow or not and can give both drops. It's rare, but if you happen to be farming near where your Hallow and Evil biomes meet you can generally see it happen within an hour or so. The game isn't quite perfect with the Hallow/Evil biome limit, apparently. With other biomes there's, AFAIK, an INTENDED bleed effect area where it counts as both, but the Hallow/Evil thing just gets a bit weird in practice.
@@Manahina1 that's only true in the surface, I've had pretty large underground areas with corruption/hallow in them. They even have a special background with dark purple crystals, and enemies can drop both souls of light and souls of night. You gotta play with biome reaches and other mechanics though
I'd be interested in the rarest "observable" event too, for example the player can't know anything about their luck or crit chance rolls except by the damage indicator number.
exactly what I was thinking, the vast majority of the increase in rarity comes from the individual luck rolls for every time, which you would have no way of measuring without a mod. Everything else as far as I remember is technically noticeable
I feel like that would change drastically based on who's playing. Digging particle? Walking animation? Rain drop? I don't know how to state this question in a way that it has a definite answer.
That would be doing the same setup, and this not happening. Probability works interestingly, but as long as something not happening is an event, then the most likely event is the least likely event not occuring.
I'm always fascinated with stupidly large numbers and rare chances and events, so this video tickled all the right spots for my monke gamer brain. Please don't stop making these useless but fascinating videos, I never get tired watching them. :)

In order to visualize such a drop rate, it is rarer than an event where if you picked a random atom in the observable universe and imagine each atom as its own universe, then pick an atom from that universe and imagining each atom in that universe to contain its own universe, and so on and so forth, and repeating the cycle three more times before picking an atom from that imaginary universe, then I pick an atom at random and imagine each atom as its universe and so on and so forth with the exact same method as you did, and we manage to pick the same atom in the exact same imaginary universe by random chance.
To all you basement dwellers who flunked math class, these odds are lower than the odds of getting 211 5 star characters in genshin impact back to back and winning 50/50 every time.
you cant have a hybrid evil + hallow biome, which led you to correctly exclude the hallow key from the biome keys list, yet soul of light is still in the drop list.
@@yazeedalfrog then there is time to save yourself from that psychotic gibberish. thankfully I was spared from that since proofs aren't needed in engineering.
As a cookie clicker player, I have seen many large numbers, some I can’t even pronounce properly. But this number tops it without question. I had thought centillion was the largest number with a name, but you leave me gobsmacked. The hell is a septenseptuagintacentillion.
If there is a Bloodmoon, would that not also include the chance to get the KO-cannon (0.1% base drop chance from all hardmode enemies during a bloodmoon)? Meaning you can make this even rarer? Or does that event overwrite some of the other biomes/events you want to happen?
This chance is definitely to the so low point that it's probably actually just zero, as there's no initial state of the RNG source which would produce the random results necessary to produce this event. Computers don't use true randomness, they use pseudo RNGs, which can be thought of as a very long list of numbers which seem random.
Sometimes when we don't get the items that we want is considered as bad luck, but who knows the "impossible" chance happened in front of your eyes without you even realize.
thanks i was wondering where i misplaced my copy of the odds of the travelling merchant selling anything actually useful at the current stage of the game
Honestly, that has nothing to do with melee specifically. I recently tried a summoner-playthrough for once and reforged all of my accessories to menacing. That took a similar amount of money as warding does for melee.
Remember that one time a guy was speedrunning Super Mario 64 when a solar flare from the ACTUAL SUN WENT INTO HIS N64 and triggered something that made mario go up? factor that into this video
Well technically you can’t have one enemy drop a crimson and corruption key at the same time, but all the other keys can be dropped by the same enemy. However, the number is so large that it doesn’t matter at this point
Rarest occurence Ive had happen was killing a master mode Dutchman which dropped the coin gun, pirate staff, discount card, and a piece or two of furniture. My mind was blown.
so basically if someone made 6 copies of the observable universe and hid a singular atom in them, youd have a higher chance of guessing which atom it is at random then this happening
The actual rarest thing that can happen in Terraria is for cosmic rays falling from the sky to change the entire game's code to Minecraft while it's running
The red and orange rolls at 4:00 shouldn't be multiplied into the overall event chance, because they don't correspond to any result in the game world; they just determine what the numbers in the green rolls will be. What you should've done is assume the strongest possible bad luck, which is the first tick of bad ladybug luck, and compute the average/expected number that each green roll will be as a result of that luck value, and then multiply those green numbers into the overall event chance.
i don't know if this counts, but there's a slightly lower chance (1 in 10^690 i think) of waiting 899 ticks between black recluse's web spit attacks. i saw it ages ago when i was trying to find out poison staff rates (i was a noob) and it has lived in my mind rent free ever since. crazy video!
Uh, sorry if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure you can only drop one mech summon at a time, which would remove 2 items from that list, bringing down the number just a little bit. I’m pretty sure it’s completely random which one drops so that’s also a 1/3 chance added onto it. Sorry if I’m wrong but idk 🤷♀️ Edit: just remembered that it’s not random, it rolls for destroyer, then if it fails, it rolls for one of the others, and so on.
I'd argue that these aren't triggered by one action, you pulling the trigger on the enemy, since you had to make biome combination that afaik doesn't spawn naturally, you have to consume the Midas Flask, kill the ladybug and deplete your mana. That's a lot of assumption for an event trigger.
not quite. say we flip a disc with sides 1 and 2 an infinite amount of times with a 50/50 chance of either side being landed on. what’s the probability that in one population of infinite trials, the disc lands on 1 every single time? a very small non-zero number. we can apply this to the probability function in the video, where 0 is a failure and 1 is a success. there could be a population of infinite trials where we get a 0 every single time, which is infinitely smaller than the chance of landing a 1, but is still a non-zero probability
@@wesichiwe are strictly talking about the event in the video. so yes, given enough time, any event with non zero probability will happen an infinite amount of times. it's a tautology.
I only ever killed Pirate Corsairs in hybrid Underworld-Snow-Desert-Jungle-Corruption-Crimson-Hallow biomes during Halloween with 1 tick of ladybug luck remaining with a Grey Zapinator that procs all of its effects at once but doesn't crit even with a 99% critical strike chance and having the killing blow receive +14% damage randomization that negative-luck-replaced a +15% damage randomization roll at minimum negative luck, and every time, they dropped the maximum amount of coins possible, the Coin Gun, Warding Lucky Coin, Warding Discount Card, Broken Pirate Staff, Broken Cutlass, Eye Patch, whole Sailor outfit, all twenty pieces of Golden Furniture, Warding Gold Ring, full Buccaneer's set, all five biome keys that can drop, a Soul of Light and a Soul of Night, 50 living fire blocks, 129 golden platforms, a Broken Hel-Fire, all 3 mech boss summons pre-Mechs, two stars, and a Goodie Bag, so I had no idea this is unlikely
