Success rates

This article needs a list of success rates without using Dragon Orbs. -- Sangodoc (talk) 20:24, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

My experience: 100% to get from 0-1, 0% to get from 1 to 2, gave up and used a dragon orb.  :) --Vitenka 08:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

The information on Chienkun Stone refining rates is taken straight from the game currently, but I think those may be cumulative rates, rather than individual rates like the rest of the table. This information needs to be verified somehow. -- Sangodoc (talk) 04:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Those last two tables, as well as duplicating the information in the first table in a harder to read format, don't seem to make any sense. They seem to say that to craft a level9 dragon orb you need to already have a level9 dragon orb. I don't understand them at all, and suggest that they either need fixing or removing. What do they add beyond the first table? --Vitenka 16:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Simple simulation gives surprisingly good odds of getting even to +5 - 20% chance that 100 attempts is enough. Nearly a 70% chance of +4. Now, admittedly, 100 attempts is a lot - but what with fairy boxes driving down the cost of mirages, it may be worth going for now. --Vitenka 19:44, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
