    Saw this epic fail posted on the bugs and glitches board LAWL!

    Yeah, I don't know if this is an actual glitch, or if I'm just the most unlucky person in the world. So far, I have probably spent around 700m on new zakumhelmet(1) Or whatever the Official name for it is, and about 85m on scrolls. We'll to start off this "Unlucky streak" I found that I needed around 20 more dex to equip my level 90 item, being a low dex hermit and all, so I decided, hey, I could scroll my z-helm, Who knows, I might get lucky? So first thing I do, Is buy a 30% scroll, Cause, you know, its good to use those on the first slot, as opposed to the last slot, saving my 70%'s for last. So I scroll it, and what do you know? It blows up. Luckly I had a z-helm on my bandit, which I no longer used, So I put some scissors of karma on it and transfer that sucker over. I decide not to scroll it first thing, cause of what happened last time, and just trained some (actually, leeched, lol)  And then I decided, I really need this dex If I'm ever gonna equip that raven's dawn level 90 claw. So, Another 30%, another helm blown up. By now I'm getting a bit frustrated, I mean, chances of an item blowing up from a 30% are only 20% because, You use the scroll... 30% chance it works, if it doesn't work, 50% chance it doesn't blow up so add those and get 80%. Multiply that by 2 and there is a 160% chance that the item would not blow up twice in a row. So, foolishly, I buy another z-helm from one of my mage freinds, who has a 17 dex helm, This time I'm like, Ok this is 17 dex, I'll be catious, So in goes a 70% scroll, and another helm blown up, by then I was just furious, I mean... chances of that are very slim to none. So in a kinda blind fury, I buy the first z-helm I see in fm, and the first 30% scroll I see, and of course, blow up another z-helm. At that point I just kinda stepped away from the computer, pinched myself to see if I was dreaming or not, and kinda just walked away. Took some deep breaths, I was kinda shaking, I mean, this is probably like, around 100$ real money I have just blown here. But, I decided not to stop there with the scrolling... I was like, Comon, one has to work sooner or later, I mean with all this scroll failage, there has to be some scroll winage burried in there, So, Another z-helm. This time I get my new freind (Some guy I just finished selling stuff to, so I could actually afford another z-helm) watch me, So I use a 30% this time it doesn't work, but it didn't blow up, yes! I'm getting somewhere! I thought... So I bought another 30%... Because, I new In the back of my mind, I had somethings I could sell to make a quick buck. And well, another fail, But not blown up yet... So I'm like, wow, Fine, another 30%, and well, what do you know? Blew up... How fun. At this point, I just didn't really care anymore, I'm like, Ok, if they are all going to fail, then lets experiment a bit shall we?! 4 more scrolls and 2 more z-helms later, None have worked so far, I have no helm, and My money is wearing extremely thin...

     So, at a loss of around 785m, around 200 actual dollars, probably more, I'm back where I started, no z-helm no money, and actually farther away from my goal of getting that extra 20 dex so I could equip my proper level 90 weapon.

    Again, Not sure If this is actually a glitch, I just had to tell this tale of epic fail

    Who ever posted that is an idiot. There is a 160% chance it wouldn't blow up? That is like saying that "Well since I have a quarter.. and I flip it.. Since it has a 50% chance of landing on heads and a 50% landing on tails.. That means my chance of getting tails the second time is 100%!!!" It doesn't work like that buddy. Some people have 5 kids and all of them are boys... Probability between two instances can't be added together.

    Have you never taken possibilities in math before? Are you 12 or something? If you flip a coin twice, the chances of getting one heads is 100%, If someone was going to say "I'm going to flip this coin twice! You guess what the outcome is going to be!" You would guess one heads and one tails as opposed to two tails or two heads, because the possibilities of that happening are greater.

    I'm not getting into the whole math argument, I've had teachers who actually argue for both ways, as well as have seen too much flaming come from the topic. 

    I will however say that this is not a glitch. Some people are just unlucky.

    I failed 12 Chain Lightning 20 books before one actually worked. Each one has a 70% chance or working so you can see my luck on that. On that same note, I managed to hit 4 30%s in a row on my overall. Really, it's all random and is all luck. Some people have their methods, some people swear by dummying, for me, dummying never works.

    I wish you the best with eventually scrolling a new Zhelm.

    LOL!

    I remember when C0ug4 got his first Z-helm and I destroyed it. I was ticked. -.-
