The fox spirit’s own suggestion. It cuts in directions that should not exist.
| Ores (N) | P(Kitsune's Whisper) no lock | Expected forges | With RNG lock |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 6.1% | ~1 in 17 | needs 25 ores |
| 25 | 6.0% | ~1 in 17 | ~1 in 4 locked |
| 30 | 3.7% | ~1 in 27 | ~1 in 4 locked |
| 55 | 0.0% | ~1 in 301,887 | ~1 in 4 locked |
"Expected forges" = 1 ÷ combined probability of rolling the class and this variant. RNG lock removes the class roll once N ≥ 25, leaving only the 27.8% variant roll.
Solved at the Crimson Sakura Isles anvil with RNG lock targeting the Katana class — BiS god-roll, clean zero-waste split, and a no-raid farmable fallback.
