How many El's to roll a Zod?

How many El's to roll a Zod?

yeah. Having an argument

 

[Zarfen]

just take 3 x 3 x 3 until you get up to when you only need 2 + some gem, I'm too tired to make the math atm -.-'

 

[SoulSurvivor]

3^20 * 2^12

3,486,784,401 * 4096

so a little more than 14 trillion

... and a new keyboard (you will waste the I-button when opening the inventory), along with a bunch of computer mice! :evil: You might also need some painkillers.


...and a new/extra life.

You might also want to start thinking about not doing it... That's a heck of a lot of crap...
I remember someone doing this though, which is an awesome statistic to have in the back of your mind when someone asks you to just collect Eld runes to cube up to Zod. I've actually told them it requires millions and millions of Elds, guess I was a few decimal places off

You would also need approximately 162298087600 (162 billion+) characters to hold those items which is about 20287260950 (20 billion+) accounts full of mules.

 

[SoulSurvivor]

But if you think about it this way, if you find an amn rune its 59,049 els.

Also a little fun with Atma's drop calculator,

You'd need to kill about 19 million black souls to find a zod.

To find 14 trillion els you would need to kill about 9 quadrillion apparitions.

 

[zarniwoop]

This thread frightened me.

 

[hhhrobi]

if you think about doing it... i can help :tongue:

 

[snotblood]

yeah. Having an argument

I did some quick math once and figured it to be well over a billion El's and I had people laughing at me. It's like, duh, its math, it doesn't lie.

Even just looking at the high runes, it seems like a lot of freakin work...

Zod =
2x Cham =
4x Jah =
8x Ber =
16 x Sur=
32x Lo =
64x Ohm=
128x Vex=
256x Gul=
512x Ist

512 IST RUNES just for one Zod. I think you are better off just trying to find one than make one. And that doesn't inlclude all the gems.

Thats a funny stat, but we'd have to assume the person would start cubing them as they go, thus no need for all those chars. I mean it would take years of logging in and out just to get access to all of them. And the lag.... the stinkin lag...

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

I don't even think B.net could handle that. It explode within itself.

 

[Freezing Rain]

Bleh. I know it would be that much . They thought it was about 60~ and when I told them it was at LEAST 2 million :iirc:, they said I was full of bull**** and didn't get enough sleep. Thanks guys. :smiley:

[RubenusPontius]

Hmm...
you need 14281868906496 el's to cube to 1 zod.
you find ~1 zod for every 144238 el's.
so you will find ~99015993 zod's while trying to find those 14281868906496 el's!

 

[Ikeren]

14,281,868,906,496

14 trillion, 281 billion, 868 million, 906 thousand, and fourhundred and ninety six...in other words :grin:

Just tell them "14 trillion, give or take a couple billion".

 

[Tool_Master]

This is scary...so many numbers. I want my safety blanket back!:scared:

 

[McCain123]

you find ~1 zod for every 144238 el's.

Damn, where is my zod? I have found more than 150000 els and still no zod.

 

[RubenusPontius]

Well, first of all, those are only probabilities, they don't guarantee you to find one zod for ever 144238 el's, but on average one does.
Secondly, I don't know if those numbers are correct. I found them on this site under "rune scarcity" but I don't know how those numbers were calculated or for what version that was and if the runedrops have been changed since then...

: See, I can do this dirty poison dagger trick too! :

hm.. daggerlicious.

You'd also have to take into account of where ppl were running. Norm countess is very much capable of dropping els, but not Zods
