| Ores (N) | P(Permafrost Maul) no lock | Expected forges | With RNG lock |
|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | 6.1% | ~1 in 17 | needs 40 ores |
| 40 | 7.0% | ~1 in 15 | ~1 in 5 locked |
| 45 | 5.6% | ~1 in 18 | ~1 in 5 locked |
| 55 | 1.6% | ~1 in 63 | ~1 in 5 locked |
"Expected forges" = 1 ÷ combined probability of rolling the class and this variant. RNG lock removes the class roll once N ≥ 40, leaving only the 23.8% variant roll.
Solved at the Frostspire Expanse anvil with RNG lock targeting the Great Axe class — BiS god-roll, clean zero-waste split, and a no-raid farmable fallback.
