    1-2% that it is NOT candy.

    I have gotten 2M gold twice. All else was candy.

    Although individual anecdotes aren’t really useful here, to me that seems well within the range of outcomes (albeit a bit of a mean joke, since I’m sitting on mounds of gold and could use that “luck” elsewhere in game).

    No, it says "on a path that is not the Candy path".
    The candy path is a 90% chance. A path that is NOT the candy path is a 1% or 2% chance.

    A path that is not the candy path is a path which does not have the candy reward on it. Are you trying to highlight a double negative that isn't there? Your post and GroundedWisdom's post are saying the exact same thing.
    He was correcting grounded wisdoms comment to be more readable. He said 1-2% it isn't candy which is not the same as saying 1-2% per non-candy path.

    English is a fun language that everyone hates due to ambiguity and learning how to be consise with your words.

    Why am I reading it as you have 2/3% chance for candy :trollface:

    I'm familiar with the language. You have a 1-2% chance of being on a Path that is NOT Candy. Consisting of any Path but candy.

    How many different ways can people say the same thing? We all know the odds of getting candy far, far, far outweigh the odds of not getting candy. Leave it at that, move on. 90%, 98%?? Who gives a toss?

    Dude. lol.

    You have a 10% chance to be on a path that is not the candy path.

    10% total. Your odds of landing on each *one* Path is 1-2%. You only get one roll. Not a combined total of 10%.

    This is 100% wrong.

    There is a 90% chance you land on Candy. Which means there is a 10% chance you land on a non-Candy path. That is why the odds of all non-Candy prizes cumulatively add to 10%.

    Both accounts, candy every time.

    Perhaps you see it that way, but I see differently. It's not 90% with a 10% chance, and subsets of 1-2% within that. It's a majority candy, with a 1-2% of it being each remaining Path.

    This is ridiculous.

    Well, if I'm wrong then I'm wrong. It's just how I'm looking at it. Either way, you're most likely to get Candy.

    You’re wrong. But…you are 90% likely to get Candy even if you’re wrong.

    Hahahaha! Had that one coming.

    I've had four paths that weren't candy. No AG but not too bad I guess. Beat the odds anyway 🤷‍♂️
  • baskinrobbinsknowsbaskinrobbinsknows Member Posts: 275 ★★★
    In my case, its 100% candy. Have not gotten anything else and at this point I'd be dumb to think otherwise. This event is just a big L.

    It’s a 2% chance to get nothing but candy the whole time. So it’s fairly unlikely

    I was in your mindset today and I pulled the 6* AG! So maybe your luck will change like mine did

    I'm fairly certain I will be among the 2% lol
