An important point. Counter items only provide a way to keep track of how many times you have killed one of the item dropping monsters.Mino wrote:Just keep in mind, having the counter items (small rocks, weak poisons, etc) doesn't guarantee a legendary item, its just to give you an idea of when to probably expect one.
Your odds of getting a legendary item to drop are always 1/10000, whether you've killed 1 of the monsters or 10000. Which is why some players get a legendary item after relatively few counter items, and other players have more than double the amount of counter items with no success
If you had a die with 10000 sides the odds of any specific number being rolled is 1/10000. However, odds are not a guarantee. If you actually had such a die and rolled it 10000 times, some numbers would almost certainly come up more than once and others not at all.
