Green Guon Stone

If i get 2 stones will the chance of healing increase?

You can't get two of the same item in one run; you can however get two of the same gun -if you started with it and the rat has it, or it was a gun given to you on a blessed run, but picking up the second just refills the first.

I did get two of the same item my dud

May my luck vanish, but i do not lie

well wow that is very rare indeed

Well oml I'm gonna go eat a hat.

Even if it is possible, the chance of that must be astronomically low, as the game has a weighting system for the item pool that makes items you've not had in a while more likely to appear.

Not only did you get two S rank items, you got the one with the lowest possible chance of appearing. That's... something, alright.

You can definitely get multiples of the same guon stones. Maybe that's just an exception to the rule (or it doesn't exist in the first place)

[Liy4b-Derg]

Well, to answer the question...

I'm not really sure if they did specific formulas for the chance, but I'm thinking it's something like each time you get hit you have "2 rolls" in the "number randomizer".

If that's the case, you actually have a bigger chance since you "roll the dice" twice, and (Theory:) you have a chance to heal two times in just one hit.

I mean, I think this is not like in Risk of Rain where the item effects get stronger in each stack because in EtG it's not supposed to stack, so my bet is on what I said above.

Edit:
If I am correct about the two stones triggering separately, I made some calculations to get the chances of healing (and healing twice per hit if that exists)

Through the use of MS Excel, I made a table that counts how often you can heal when getting hit. There are 10000 possible combinations if we have to get 2 numbers from 100 (in any order and can have two same numbers in a combo).

3360 (or 33.6%) of these combinations consist of 1 number succeeding the 20% chance (healing you once), while 441 (or 4.41%) of these consist of 2 numbers succeeding the 20% chance (healing you twice).

Well I was curious as well so I calculated for that. I can't say that that's how it works tho. I just really love doing the maths xD

[daBigCheez]

Maths is nice

[Chijiru]

Has this stone done anyone any good?

[Liy4b-Derg]

Well the effect is pretty much RNG based, so I don't recommend relying on it. Although it might become a life saver if lucky enough.
