not sure hwo accurate this is but thought I'd put it up for reference.

In no way shape or form is Unique to Celestial using a normal regrade scroll and a charm a 50% rate of success. I mean how many thousands of attempts do you have to have in a sample size until you get normal distribution? I am sure as hell not going to give Trino all that money for charms to get normalized success rates. Let alone the time sink for gold acquisition doesn't match the $$$ shop pay to have advantage ratio. My personal time has a greater value than grinding out gold to avoid the cash shop effect.

The RNG in this game wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't just such a blatant $$$ for greater chance of success effect embedded into the algorithm. Besides the submarine, the difference in gear quality vs gear quality, is the single most disappointing aspect of AA. The fact that > GS in effect trumps skill pretty much ruins my desire to play.

Well, that and how Trino has handled this entire title, that single fact alone is the death nail for them and their access to my wallet.

To each there own though.

A little vid about cost analysis with and without charms.
