| Ores (N) | P(Seraph's Reply) no lock | Expected forges | With RNG lock |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 8.9% | ~1 in 12 | needs 15 ores |
| 15 | 6.4% | ~1 in 16 | ~1 in 4 locked |
| 20 | 2.9% | ~1 in 35 | ~1 in 4 locked |
| 55 | 0.0% | ~1 in 46,141,015,738 | ~1 in 4 locked |
"Expected forges" = 1 ÷ combined probability of rolling the class and this variant. RNG lock removes the class roll once N ≥ 15, leaving only the 27.8% variant roll.
Solved at the Crimson Sakura Isles anvil with RNG lock targeting the Straight Sword class — BiS god-roll, clean zero-waste split, and a no-raid farmable fallback.
