I’ve run 30+ colossal ancients farming for protectors stone jewels and kill them in the same order each time. I still get a mix of protectors stone and frost. The order you kill them in matters 0.

Thanks for sharing =]
12 runs isn't a huge sample, but at the same time, the probability of pure RNG following your theory is extremely low (isn't it 1 chance on 4096?).
Interesting, i'll post the sequence of my next run, assuming it doesn't take me ages to get the statue i'm missing.


Correct


It's 1/2 for the chance that order A would produce one jewel and order B would produce the other jewel

It's 1/2 for the chance that order A would produce light jewel and order B would produce magic jewel

So it's 1/2048 for the double tail end assuming the null hypothesis that the order of the first two colossal ancient kills is irrelevant to the jewel produced

Wait what? So the theory is false?

Still waiting on confirmation runs

confirmed nap was good, lasted 1 hour

Still waiting on ^fearoftdark confirmation runs


in my 2 sample run OP was on point. Korlic > Talic > Madawk resulted in two lightning facets

additional info : P7 takes 5 times longer than P1 kill and results in worse roll

Oh I guess I missed the first post. The order does actually matter? I thought only the last kill mattered lol. I'm pretty sure that's the case, how you kill them doesn't particularly matter.

It's:
Lighting/Magic = Madawk
Fire/Physical = Korlic
Cold/Poison = Talic
