Expected forges — with & without RNG lock

Ores (N) P(Glacier Lance) no lock Expected forges With RNG lock
24 5.4% ~1 in 19 needs 30 ores
30 5.9% ~1 in 17 ~1 in 4 locked
35 4.1% ~1 in 25 ~1 in 4 locked
55 0.0% ~1 in 4,075 ~1 in 4 locked

"Expected forges" = 1 ÷ combined probability of rolling the class and this variant. RNG lock removes the class roll once N ≥ 30, leaving only the 25.0% variant roll.
