Yes the chance to turn an unique into a POS rare is high. GLHF.

I think the first is more uncommon than the second
Taking in account the potency of what you can get with a corruption, I'd say it's in a good place in terms of chances and indeed it will crap a lot of uniques and gems before you get what you want.

Vaaled items are the true end-end-end-end-gear and have been great fun ever since they got added if you ask me.



Great lolz, great rewards.

To the best of our knowledge, the chance of turning an item rare is 25%, the same as the other possible results (turning sockets white, adding an implicit or doing nothing).
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!
If it's 25% , then the chance of getting 3 in a row is 1/64. So a bit less likely than correctly guessing the next card in a deck of cards.
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

I have rolled +1 twice and a bricked Rare once with a total of 8 attempts.

If 64 people Vaal 3 items, on average 1 will get 3 rares.

However, the other 63 will not post their results on this forum. We are only seeing the extremely lucky and extremely unlucky ones.

That's not how probability works yo. The thing you vaaled (or whatever) doesn't know that thing came before it. It's not like the vaal orb is like "hey, I just gave this dude a rare, I guess this time I better give him a corruption). The 25% chance (which it isn't but hey that's outside the point) is applied on each and every roll.

The probability of getting a rare is 25% of the first roll. On the second roll, it's 25%. On the third roll, it's 25%, and so on. Over the course of time, say you rolled 1000 of them, ~250 would be rares.

Same applies to everything, from the roll of a dice to a coin toss. The odds of getting tails on a flip is 50%. The odds of getting it again, yup, 50%. You can get 10 tails in a row, doesn't mean anything. Again, over time, say 1000 flips, ~500 would be tails and ~500 would be heads.

The human mind has a problem with random and probabilities in general, soo...

just curious if this chance is equal for all pieces or is greater ones than others. Last league i did not have a single rare rolled, this league i tried 3 armors all turned rare, corrupted 2 gloves both +1 level, and other items nothing happened. Flapdrol is right that we we see mostly posts with lucky or unlucky rolls. I wonder why this game lacks more numnbers in this game, like statistics or percentages on certain things, is it because the numbers are constantly changing from league to league or is it impossible to findout
