I'm a jerk. I shoot for all XIs all the time. It costs me and my party buffs sometimes. I admit that.

My gambling addiction hurts the ones I love. It's true. (*'-')

This. SO MUCH
My rolls get so *** up because I'll land on a 9 Tactician's or an 8 Miser's and can't help myself but to use double-up.

I have double busted before.

Congrats. You have chosen a sequence that happens LITERALLY 1 in 1296 times you roll four times in a row. Please do not use this to validate this piece of equipment. It's awful and only provides you one extra chance to start your 11 streak with 3 straight busts and 1 valid roll rather than 2 straight busts and 1 valid roll. Topped with the snake eye and snake eye upgrade, reduce that benefit even further.

Excited about snake eye, fold upgrade is more of a hazard than it is helpful.

In the event of landing on a 10, I would use Snake Eye if my Fold timer is also up (to save me from a potential unlucky next round).

You have never gotten an 11, have you?

Someone posted info on BG about relic+2 augment, which is revealed on a JP magazine.




Winning Streak: Roll duration +6 sec
Loaded Deck: Miss chance -10%
Fold: Chance to remove both rolls/busts +20%
Snake Eye: Chance of zero recast +4%
Wild Card: One re-roll if it's 1 or 2, won't show the animation.

So Snake enhancement is 20% at max merits. Not bad.

I'm not sure I understand the meaning on Wild Card...you can retry if you get a 1 or 2?

It is an invisible re-roll. So you basically get to roll again if your first roll came up as a 1 or a 2.

Assuming it was an even distribution to start (everything = 16.6%), with the AF3+2 body on the odds would be:
1: 1/18 (5.5%)
2: 1/18 (5.5%)
3: 4/18 (22.2%)
4: 4/18 (22.2%)
5: 4/18 (22.2%)
6: 4/18 (22.2%)

5/5 on Snake Eye myself, and with the pants it feels like more than a 20% chance, though I admit my sample size hasn't been big enough yet to really say for sure.

Maybe I've just been really lucky so far.

There have been a few times I've landed on 8 on Chaos or Tactician's and I've Snake Eyed all the way up to 11 with the pants repeatedly proc'ing.

If you have an anniversary band or moogle ring or whatever to use you could knock it out in one run with a party of six people killing at a good rate.

w/ anni ring and cor/war/whm taking time to proc pretty much every mob for drops I got about 16,000 exp in one run. It's really not as bad as I expected it to be.

Yes, that pants somewhat changed the way I gamble, before I never snake eye on a No.9, now if I did a No.9, I may just use snake eye to see if pants proc so I can do another snake eye to No.11 especially if my other roll have longer than 5 min duration.

This applies to relic +2 gloves too, when I know I have a chance to fold 2 rolls I somewhat change my strategy when I gamble and willing to take more risk.

If you really can't find ppl, you can either /shout for a currency farm parner(can often get ans from ppl wanting currency), or just solo EP ones. COR/DNC kill pretty quick on EP with 2 TP rolls, and each kill gives around 60~80 EXP. Not as fast as duo/trio killing DC mob(those gives like 90 EXP duo), but can get the job done.

I just rolled from VII to XI all with Snake Eye using AF2+2 pants.

Just chiming in with that.

I love these damn pants.

(Edit: situation was roll rotation for 2 parties for ADL, fold down, no XI already up, didn't wanna bust and wanted to get off of unlucky on Miser's.)
