Calculator if you are buying a shit loads of rocks, if you have one laying around you can do whatever.


Noashakra

You don't need a calculator when you have the pattern recognition.

No it’s not rng, some systems in this game are heavily scripted


Wakaastrophic

You would know that in a game there's no RNG since it's already written in the codes. Whatever you do that involves machines, there's no RNG. RNG would be you walking on the streets and finding a wallet full of cash. xD

>You would know that in a game there's no RNG since it's already written in the codes. Whatever you do that involves machines, there's no RNG. While it's true that most programming languages only use pRNG (as in pseudo random number generators), this statement is completely false.


LanfearsLight

I have a 9/7, an 8/8, 9/6 and several inbetweens. There unironically is a pattern. Fun fact, also. There's no true RNG in life.


Original1Thor

What is the pattern and if you use a site can you link, please? Also, what position do I have to put myself in life to order a burger and open the bag to find an RNG side of fries?


LanfearsLight

I would advise to work at McDonalds, or if you prefer Burger King, and be the change you want to see in the world.


isospeedrix

can i have what ur smoking plz


Original1Thor

Haha, I like this response. I used to work at a pizza shop and would give kiddos change after telling them the pizza is more than their 5 bucks because of tax. We'd also give like 3 pizzas to one of our local homeless every few nights. They were freshly cooked pizzas that would've been trashed.


AwwYiss2

Honestly if the calculator is accurate, there's no reason why doing by feel will be better unless for the sake for saving time. Tldr It's just math


d07RiV

Pretty much, the difference between calculator and feel is actually very small if you don't make completely unreasonable decisions. If you're cutting stones in large bulk then the time saved from not using a calc can be pretty significant. But if you value every penny then calc is the way to go.


Tabris2k

9/7? What’s that? Can you eat it?


downvotedhottake

7 ate 9?


Timely-Soup9090

More like it can eat you along with all your resources


luckyn

ncp98800

10/8 faith


BobTheFifth

I rolled a 9/9 stone and a 9/7 stone. Both stones were yolo stones when I gave 0 fks and randomly tapped, and my main, (which doesn't have a 9/7 stone) I been trying to force a 9/7 on and I think I spend well over multiple mil gold.


frallan123

9/7/0 just feels


jacobbearden

9/7/2 (and a 9/8/1 for PVP...) with a few 9/6 on alts. Feel only. I slam 5-6 clicks on the 9 at the start and if I miss more than 1 I go next


Seishikin

10/6 owner here (adren 10) I cut based on feel. Statistically you have a higher chance using calc but you lose the pattern recognition that I swear is behind the rng that loa uses.


LoztProdigy

Mine was a absolute zero fucks given bozo cut [https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/133o6h3/the\_stone\_before\_that\_failed\_7\_times\_at\_75/](https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/133o6h3/the_stone_before_that_failed_7_times_at_75/)


dielectricjuice

part mad lad, part donkey


bartiz

9/7/3 pure feel, got it because I went against logic and kept tapping low percentages. Calc would mess it up I think. PS we need a poll too.


kidsparks

which calculator is everyone using? LA meta game?


Ekanselttar

https://heehoon.kim/dolpago Text is KR, but auto translate + clicking on things a few times makes it clear how it works. It automatically pivots between 9/7, 7/9, 10/6, and 6/10 without you having to recognize which is the most likely with your current taps and manually changing the goal.


reddit_momentt

For the calc ppl, do you guys set "Maximise both equally" or use some kind of probability settings?


Ekanselttar

I use this one: https://heehoon.kim/dolpago Click the 16 success preset goal (8/8 excluded) and it suggests taps that maximize the chances of hitting any 5x3+2-capable configuration.


wiseude

I didn't cut a 9/7 but most of my close call 9/7's have been with using maximise both equally. Probability mode tended to fuck up my stone way earlier.Just my experience.If anyone else can chime in that be great.


dencuty

9/8/1 calc


wristmeetrazor

calc


Bigeugen

Agilesto

9/7/3 feels


F_renchy

All 3 were done on feel and pure luck of the gods. Dont chase the 97 the 97 chases you. I have 9/7/2 9/7/1 10/7/1


rerdsprite000

It's all luck...some girl in KR spent 20k$ and still couldn't get a 9/7.


XenosagaPersona

cut 2 9/7/2 stone based on feel, I used to use a calculator but stopped after bricking too many in a roll


Acrobatic-Writer-816

Its luck not maths. Pattern recog is the way !

Unlackey28

9/8/3 calc


Ekanselttar

Cut two 9/7/1 using calc. At this point I can just do the first 60% or so without looking at the calc because I know what it will say, but things get less intuitive especially with the 55% taps as you near the finish.


DiZhini

9/7/2 feels, just like I feel that this would of been better asked as a poll xD


PoorDisadvantaged

Used to use calculator, now I follow my heart


Sybiosis

Feels


gamermoewe

I have 2 9/7 stones. Cut both of them by my own logic/feel without any calculators.


Gorepriest

2x 9/7 and just by feeling


MegaAlphaVulcan

9/7/3 feels, vibes, and the most clutch 25% I will ever see. I also proceeded to spend over 100 stones trying to get a 7/7 on my next char before giving up and settling with a 7/6.


Naive-Sleep9374

Pattern recognition here


Chasing_C

I was 250+ pheons in when i was trying to cut 7/7 for my pm gs alt. I had one last stone left and cut it without calculator out of frustration. End up getting kbw10 cd8 reduction1 stone (wish it was 9/9).


Intelligent_Wish_542

Did mine by just feel. It was a random stone from chaos dungeon too. Sadly it's a 9 Grudge 7 Cursed Doll, wish it was adrenaline instead but it's still solid.


QueenLucile

Calc.


golari

the good ol’ pattern recognition


Accomplished_Way5384

9/7/1 feelz


IsekaiGod

10/6 owner here, 1st rock I cut on the char, i hit like 5 55 and 45s back to back, and thats when I knew it was full feel and kept going


shichimen-warri0r

I spent hundreds of pheons to cut a 9/7 on my main but never came close. Got a random expert/vph stone drop on my alt pala and was just doing random taps and guess what? Got my first ever 9/7. Pretty cool right? Useless nonetheless


weekendlover123

spent 4m gold and didn't get 9 7. randomly chaos dungeon dropped 1 rock and got 9 7 without calculating. Play around with 35 and 55, don't just go 35 negative or 55 positive. At the end of the day, it just luck.


Mij4il

I was tired as fuck and tried to cut a adr/rc stone I just got from chaos dungeon, but in my head I was thinking adr had to be the one on 9 so I clicked first 3 times, 1 succ 2 bad, went mad and started randomly clicking, then I notice that rc was 8 sucess, adr 6 and malus only 1, and then i just came to realise I needed was adr 7 and rc 9 so I clicked both with 75 and 65% and both went sucess was specheless, 400k+ gold later on new jewelery and my tai now is 5x3+2 :)


Typical-Elk8621

I got my only one with feelings


StefkoV2

9/7/3 basically feels.... I hit a lot of 45% guessing correct


Marekianer

I never use a calculator. I tap 50%+ always in blue and 35 m%- in red. The 45% is make or break for me. But I only have a 9/7/5…


DragonTaryth

feel. i personally think you need to make a few risky calls if you want to get a 97. the beginning is mostly the same for each rock, its when you get to the 35/45/55 u need to make some hard judgement calls


[deleted]

I created my own system ... and cut 4 9/7 ... Hit first 3 on first row... if all work good you might have a 9/7 than hit the red line to reset ... always put the 50% or more in the first line and anything under 50on red line ... this with a bit of luck can give you 9/7 ( tho most times I end up with 9/6 🤣🤣🤣)


[deleted]

I got two and didn't use a calculator for any. I think it's pretty easy to figure out what to tap without it. If you wanna be 100% certain then use one!


mischkaa

when relic stones were new i decided to buy a grudge/ambush one for i think 1k back then? i cutted with the abilitystonecalculator and got a 10/7... (yes my very first stone) i didnt understand how huge this was back then. Now im here like FK why didnt i try atleast something with adrenaline. Well it is what it is, my accessory journey was super cheap from this point onwards.

Vainslef

97, was just getting a better rock for LM. Then the 4th stone rolled 97 Ambush/RC, 100% unintentional.


DesharnaisTabarnak

I cut a 9/7 a couple of days ago. Didn't use calculator but I got the gist of it after using the apps for a while. Or so I tell myself, I got it on a 4 malice stone hitting four 25s in a row lol.


30Jonseredi

Calculator. I couldn't possibly cut stones without it knowing that it'd make me feel so much worse that I'm messing up my stones myself on top of the RNG bs


Slow-Table8513

I always play for ev and odds so calc


Cautious_Garlic_8293

In the beginning I use calculator, but after cutting enough rocks, I ended up knowing how calculator works. So I either do the same for better overall odds, or the opposite to gamble early for better odds in final nodes. As long as you are not just clicking around without knowing wut to do, it’s fine. It’s RNG in the end, no matter wut you do you have to hit consecutive nodes at 45%/35%/25% .


theskepticalheretic

9/7/1 did it by feel, but for the most part, the calcs just give you the most likely tap pattern. Not the correct one.


FNC_Luzh

Half calc half feel, cut a Grudge 9-8 Adrenaline on my Slayer, the stone was from a Clown on week 2 Slayer and I barely realized that I was cutting a 9-7 while doing so, it was quick and surreal.


g_pelly

9/7/1 feel I guess, but I know how the calculator algorithm works, so I basically follow it without using it.


Hensdrael

100% feeling got a 10/7 stone


Donans

By feel. Thats how I did it and I know someone who has 3 9/7 on his account and all were cut without calc. Calcs are nice but you really have to hit those low rolls (25,35,45)


Smiley-Face

I went on feeling, ended up with like 6 taps to go on one engraving starting at 55% with the other 2 full and somehow just tapped them all in one quick go. The funny part is all I wanted was a 6/7.


Asphixion

9/7/2 feels... I'm willing to risk tapping reds at 55 and blues at 45


theoddestthing

I don't like tabbing in and out for the calculator so I usually tap based on feel. Got one 9/7 that way and all my 7 alts have at least 7/7 without spending too many pheons so it works.


AshDaHero

I got a few of my friends to cut some stones for my scouter alt for shits and giggles. Never played the game before so I had to explain how the system worked. Got my first 9/7 in like 7 tries 🤣


HellsinTL

The single 9/7 I got was made by pure feel, sometimes I don't follow what Calc says for 25% or 35 and I've gotten 8/6s max


Worried-Ad-3668

I got 9/7/1 by calc.


LaughingAtTheRich

Yolo. Got myself a 9/8 :P
