| Ores (N) | P(Glacier Plate) no lock | Expected forges | With RNG lock |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45 | 17.9% | ~1 in 6 | needs 50 ores |
| 50 | 25.0% | ~1 in 4 | ~1 in 3 locked |
| 55 | 30.5% | ~1 in 4 | ~1 in 3 locked |
"Expected forges" = 1 ÷ combined probability of rolling the class and this variant. RNG lock removes the class roll once N ≥ 50, leaving only the 38.5% variant roll.
