| Ores (N) | P(Glacier Casque) no lock | Expected forges | With RNG lock |
|---|---|---|---|
| 33 | 11.5% | ~1 in 9 | needs 38 ores |
| 38 | 9.8% | ~1 in 11 | ~1 in 3 locked |
| 43 | 6.2% | ~1 in 17 | ~1 in 3 locked |
| 55 | 0.7% | ~1 in 140 | ~1 in 3 locked |
"Expected forges" = 1 ÷ combined probability of rolling the class and this variant. RNG lock removes the class roll once N ≥ 38, leaving only the 38.5% variant roll.
