to me it looks like an even chance for any quality to get back. so for unique its 1/12 for any quality, for mythical it would be 1/5.

Keep in mind, that the randomizer used seems to tend to bulk events, which only evens out at high numbers.

Exactly as my testing has seemed to indicate as well. Even the bit about random numbers in this game haha. I never strip essences with ML since my early testing with tier I and II essences when I first started muting 4 years ago showed even chance for each number of properties between 1 and the magical level of the item muted. I’m sure with enough samples, you would reach ~16.67% chance for arcane essence out of arcane and ~14.29% chance for legendary essence out of legendary (1/6 and 1/7 respectively) regardless of how much ML were used.

I turned all of my t2 glyphs at the arcane level into essences and ended up with stacks of 65 each +/- 5.

Can confirm that you have a 1 in however many stats the item has to get the same essence back.

Thanks for sharing. Was a bit curious about this.

good to know nice study

Very well put together. Thanks for doing this, great information.

It is sad that spending hours of hunting for items then breaking them down into essences are have such little chance of getting back the same quality item.

It definitely needs some adjustments, hopefully Paul will see this and make proper adjustments to make it more worth our time. It would also be cool if the rate at which we broke items down and rerolled was speed up some. Would be nice! Has so much potential here.

Maybe there can be an event where the chance is cut in half for essence strip? Arcane being 1/6 is now 1/3..

I'm assuming Paul knows this since he had to program in the probabilities. I would be okay if he changed it so that magic luck has an effect on rolling essences
