Chaos Tool by Zenoooo

I released a few scrolling guides before
Scrolling Guide (SCRL 101) 30%, 70%, 60%, WS, CSS
Chaosing Value and Pricing of ATT Capes and Shoes
(Out of maintenance) Scrolling Cost and Market Price Fitting

I received good responses as well as hate comments.
Also found people who well understand and actually implement the methods I shared (shout out to Star and Fuhuo!). There was one time I ran out of return scrolls and asked a stranger for some, and he/she gave me scrolls and said the guides are awesome. From time to time, people tell me they benefit from the methods. Thank you all and I appreciate the feedback.
Apart from the Chaos Tool I am introducing here, I also recommend players to save half (or 1/3 to 2/3) of the profit from chaosing equipment, and reinvest the rest until you have decent CGS and weapons. My personal standard is perfect +7 weapons + 60 CGS. You may adjust accordingly!

Basically, chaos is a random walk problem. If we use ws and allow the ATT to go negative it will look very much like this:

Spoiler

Obvious, this is not the case with chaos, because ATT stops at 0, and rational players would choose not to CS some equipment (for example, 3/3 cape), and not to use WS on certain equipment.
Earlier on the Chaosing Value thread, I showed readers some simulation results.

VL boots with random att (godly included), certain abandon rules, and ws rules.

You could code yourself or ask AI to code for you, and run on you computer.

I would introduce a more accessible tool for most players: Excel/Numbers.
Take shoes for example, we need 6/7 slots. Start with an input 1 on around line 46:

Sum up 11 entries:

And apply it up and down:

Spoiler

Obviously, there would be 0 chance to get +6 with 1 chaos scroll.

Now you do it with the 2nd slot:

Spoiler

And extend to the 7th slot:

And it's a nice looking random walk distribution:

Spoiler

Now we add some realistic cutoffs:
For a 8/6 boots, stop chaosing at 2/4, 3/3, 4/2, and 5/1. Also remove the 7th slot:

Spoiler

Now the distribution looks like this.

Spoiler

Now compare with the simulation figure.
1. The jump at ATT = 11 is the result of not using WS at around att+slot = 10.
2. The scattered dots at low ATT are the result of abandoning low att shoes (for example, 1/4). And the code treat 1/0 and 1/4 as the same output.

Spoiler

VL boots with random att (godly included), certain abandon rules, and ws rules.

Note that here we are still working on ws+cs only. To touch the realistic cases where we don't use ws on low att shoes, we need to modify the formula at low ATT. Unfortunately I personally am not interested in low ATT, and I would prefer to run simulations. I haven't found the substitute formula yet.
I may update this part in the future.

How to use it:

Example 1:
1 in how many 8/6 would be at a certain ATT?

Spoiler

For example, 1 in 1,171,561 8/6 would be 38 ATT.

Example 2:
On average, how many 8/6 VL boots do you need to scroll to have at least one that's above the value of 8/6 boots + 6 successful attempts (about 22b in total, or say 15 ATT)?

Spoiler

Sum up the number of 15 ~ 38 shoes:

One in 4.9 8/6 VL boots would be at least 15 ATT.
Note: At low ATT, people don't use WS. Actually less than one in 4.9. But ~20% is what we are looking for!

Nice guide, impressive research.

now you can write the thesis and @Tim will award the diploma soon

 

Impressive math's behind

 

Love reading your posts. Keep up the good work!
