the A.M.A.N. Trove BC
Right, that's why it seems more likely. If there's only a 1 in 10 chance every single time, it's fairly unlucky to find that 1 chest 16 times in a row. Those odds increase if any of the ten chests could be a mimic until you open it and it determines on the spot whether or not it's going to be a mimic.
The odds of getting the wrong chest 16 times in a row is rare even if every single chest is a 90% rate, which it's clearly not even close.
Probably just a RNG roll with anything over 900 being mimic. 10th chest locked at 900+. Agreed that getting the mimic 16 times seems extremely unlikely/unlucky.
I will say the number of entries being restricted to monthly is a little annoying. I get that you can technically get away with omen bodies and such with zero consequences and the timer can't realistically be weekly because of this, but I'm fairly certain it's somewhat greater than a 1 in 10 chance of finding a mimic in a given run.
I don't know how they set it up but I'm 100% absolutely certain it's higher than a simple 1:10 mimic.
I'm well aware that a ten-sided die can land on "1" ten times in a row. I'm also well aware that it's damn near impossible to actually happen in reality.

Well not really AMAN trove, but just got Orpheu's Sash from Gob (SP gobbie key). Is it bis for all the magic assuming you stay close and no double weather? or just the magic WS?

Not sure if this was posted but someone beat mimic Nvm was posted on page 18, my bad. Grats to kill  GG SE Also went 9/10 twice in 18 orbs, with all chests giving only noise and zero of either thuds. eslim said: » ok, that ss has confused me and is making me second guess my life(chest) choices.. bcuz the first line says noise but first line of the pool says dagon beastplate, is that just codes organizing themselves or does that matter to the dos ?? this was 2nd one btw.  I think it auto sorts edit: both Venus Orbs I should sell my mars/venus orbs to pay for that 500m dyna boss clear

9/10 spoils, no thuds -- Lockfort was that the only thud you got? Gave 2 rare items Pretty sure the mimic moves around. I've done 5 of these and 3 of them was mimic first chest. It's definitely not 1/10 chance as getting a mimic 3 times is 1/1000 chance. There's some BS to this crap.
In my experience, thuds can give up to 2 items.
I have had multiple runs where I hit a single thud, exit, and got 2 items every single time.

Just got 9 spoils from 8 boxes opened; No thuds. So it looks like normal boxes can occasionally contain 2 spoils also. They were all trash, though.
 Or, 1 item per box +1 for winning.
Anyone want to try JUST opening the terminal box, and see what happens. For science. Not sure if this is posted already, chest can drop gil as well. Opened a thud tonight and got 5m from it.
Edit: just saw another post from last page with 5m as well. Maybe 5m is fixed gil reward? Did a Venus Orb with 1 Thud and didn't get any additional bonus reward i.e. the 5 million gil so the guarantee from the thud is incorrect unless the last chest you opened before you open the middle chest is the one that contained the thud.
We've known the thud/loudthud "guarantee" for 5 million was bunk for a while, as I didn't get it last month with 2 loud thuds.
I don't know if it's going to help anyone but yesterday with my main and today with my mule I started opening from the right and I stopped at the center. I used two Venus and two Mars orbs. It's random for sure but you can try.
Mars Orb, got one Loud Thud, opened and received Regal Cuffs

Asura.Eiryl said: » Or, 1 item per box +1 for winning. Anyone want to try JUST opening the terminal box, and see what happens. For science. I did that by mistake, I don't recall if I got nothing or got 1 crap item. Regarding loud thugs and 5mil Gil — I got a loud thud on my run and the Gil but got no gear at all... sort of the flip side in which loud thud doesn’t guarantee gear either. Makes me think it is Gil and/or gear with at least one of the two guaranteed but not necessairly both.
