How does Koi Pond chance sort out?

Post by bett132 »

Does anyone know how the luck works? I know higher gold amounts have a higher chance of getting an egg, but does it stack evenly?
What I mean by that is, does 300g have exactly 3 times the chance of getting an egg that 100g does? More chance? Less?

The chance is all the same regardless of the amount is what I gathered from my time doing the koi pond. I felt it was more how many times have you clicked it before it gave an egg. I took to opening many tabs and just clicking them till I got an egg. so I would stick to doing just 15g maybe through a 40g in there to change up the clicking once in a while. But overall it's really just luck.

Personally, I only get Fabari eggs, if anything, whenever I throw in anything less that 1k at a time. Every time I throw in 1k, I notice that I'm waaaay more likely to get rarer eggs, even if a Fabari sneaks in there a few times.

I know people say its luck, but from what I've seen each and every time I've gone there, that doesn't seem to be the case, at least not for me? XD

Fabari seem to be the more common one, for sure. Anyone know how rare the Globefish are? I love them, and I want several.

Oh I'm sure someone (who doesn't maintain/update it) has worked out the math and percentiles for it. There are users who take it all very seriously. But I don't think that it's ever been posted anywhere, here or the wiki.

My personal experience with it is "math hates me". hehehe.
Since the Pond was released I've gotten 3 eggs from it.

I'm gonna guess and say that I've dropped around 100k in the Koi Pond, overall. The vast majority have resulted in either nothing or Fabari eggs :t--.-:

It feels very luck based and random to me, but tossing in 1k seems to be the most reliable way to get the rarer fish (even if Fabari like to sneak in sometimes, little jerks). I've gotten Dragon/Ruby/Amethyst Koi from 300g tosses, but have only ever gotten Globefish, Goldfish and Charaen from 1k tosses. Globefish are by far the rarest, in my experience, unfortunately.

I keep throwing 1k each time and have better luck. I'm not sure if I have managed to get anything from the koi pond throwing anything lesser. The koi pond hates me. Even the ones I have now were caught by throwing 1k each :derp:

I almost never throw more than 15g into the Koi Pond and I've had decent luck. It does take some patience and I do get a lot of Fabari, but I get a good selection of the others as well.

edit: Because of this thread, I just visited the Koi Pond and got a Charaen tossing only 15g less than 10 times.

Last time, I throw only 300 gold into it and got a goldfish. And then a Charaen. Was the first time, that I didn't get a Fabari. :lol:
