Just a question. Sorry if it is too basic... doesn't the odds improve when you open 10 crystals together?
Like isn't it 10 times the original minuscule probability (say 10 * 2% = 20%)?

The odds of getting what you want in a single crystal don't change no matter how many crystals you buy. But of course the odds of getting what you want overall improve the more crystals you open, because you have more shots at it. Fundamentally this is no different than saying the more darts you throw, the more likely you'll hit the bullseye.

But they don't improve the way you mention. Think about (six sided) dice. Each face has a one in six chance to appear. So let's say you want to roll a three. There's a one in six chance of getting a three on one roll. Is there a six out of six chance of rolling a three if you roll six dice? Intuitively, you know that's not true. You can roll six dice all together and still not get a three to come up on any of them. That's because it is possible for every one of those dice to come up "not a three." But conversely, the odds of getting at least one three do go up if you roll more dice. That's also intuitively true.

It doesn't matter if you roll them one at a time, or all at once. As long as each dice roll is independent of the others, when you roll them doesn't matter. And if you think about it, this also makes intuitive sense. If you throw six dice onto a table they don't all stop rolling at the same instant of time. So what's the difference between throwing dice one at a time separated by a few seconds, and throwing dice and having them land one after the other separated by a few milliseconds? Shouldn't be any difference.
