Berserker Risk replaces 1 Non Wind job with a Berserker at random so the percentage chance is all kinds of fucked up without knowing which one it replaces.

For example, normally your chance of getting a berserker goes down as more jobs are added. Earth Crystal has 20 jobs to choose from, so you're at 1/20 there while you have a 1/11 shot at getting a Berserker with your Water Crystal pick and a 1/16 shot of getting one with your Fire Crystal.

 

[HiddenWings]

If you get berserker as your Water Job, then you have 1 - (15/16)*(19/20) or about an 10.9% chance of another berserker.

If you get berserker as your Fire job, then you have about a 13.6% chance at another berserker.

If you get berserker as your Earth job (which also locks you out of some of the powerhouses), you also have a roughly 14.8% chance at another berserker.

If you don't know which one you've been assigned, your odds are

or 13.1%



P.S. Thanks Wolfram Alpha for the equation graphic.

Berserker risk will assign non berserker jobs to berserker. So, if you already have a berserker by random chance, you'll have two.

Kawazu help anyone with berserker risk who rolled 2 berserkers.

And if someone rolled three by that crazy chance and gets hit by berserker risk, well, that berserker is going to have to find a home somewhere.

Oh, jobs are rolled before berserker risk is determined? That changes things a bit, since that gives you the normal 19% chance + the berserker that you asked for. Good luck to those of you who so graciously requested extra berserkers (and more of my money)!

Short answer: It should be the 15th in most parts of the world.

Long: I have work, then will be going to a friend's place to do the broadcast. I'll nap, set up and start to play. It should be around 8 or 9 Japan time? So yeah.

8 or 9 at night? Then that would be 7 or 8 in the morning Eastern (11 GMT). Will the link to the stream be provided here, on the site, or both?

Edit: Heropon, do you live in Hawaii?

 

[RevenantKioku]

Yes, at Night. I know it's not the best of times but I have to play when I can. Family man, after all.

My stream is http://www.twitch.tv/revenantkioku 
There will be a link on the page, video too if I can work it.

That's not bad for me (eastern time), I'm just glad it's not starting at like 1 AM here.

How was the birthday, by the way?

 

[Man God]

The one morning of the week I probably won't be at a computer all day is tomorrow. Oh well.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I'm looking forward to watching RK implode on himself this weekend. I set aside the time. =)))))))

 

[Link Man]

Perhaps he will record it for posterity, as well.

 

[RevenantKioku]

I do hope people will be able to watch. I know it's not the perfect time, but it's the only feasible time.

 

[dakkumauji]

Finally got around to registering for this.

Hopefully I'll get a dancer! Go, go Dancer|Bartz!

 

[RevenantKioku]

 

[Man God]

Got a start time nailed down yet? I can probably watch the first few hours if things go right.

Can you object to your classes for cash or something?

Or does it mean you can shoot the prosecutor and have him go crazy and kill your dad and blame it on the other dude?

 

[RevenantKioku]

Hopefully starting within eight hours from this post.

There will be nap and meat eating prior.

 

[Man God]

7 am eastern? I can do that!

 

[Cheddahz]

Hmm I have had the PS1 copy of FFV for like 12 years now, but I have never played it, looks like I'm finally going to play it (and I'm doing reg).

 

[BassForever]

I'm kind of hoping I get some classes I normally don't touch when I play FF5, particularly the fire crystal jobs I've never used much of them. Hoping I get beast master or bard to experiment with.

 

[LordAlu]

Is it a new channel? Twitch says the channel doesn't exist, whereas usually it'll just show it as offline. Looking forward to watching you start in a few hours!

 

[Link Man]

Woohoo, almost time! Godspeed, you crazy bastard.

[Ourobolus]

Dammit, gotta go to work! Good luck, rk.

 

[Man God]

Morning!

It begins!

How the hell did you figure that out?

 

[HiddenWings]

How the hell did you figure that out?

It's just probability. It's also wrong, since I was working from erroneous assumptions.

 

[Man God]

It's on.

 

[Link Man]

It's on.

Working on the sound at the moment.

 

[Ainaurdur]

It's almost like watching Saturday morning cartoons. Go RK!

 

[Man God]

SPAM GOBLIN PUNCH.

 

[WeaponKnight]

I was hoping that I'd be able to watch it live, but it's half past 10AM here and I work till 6PM...

 

[RyougaSaotome]

NEEDS MORE SNACK TIME!!!

 

[Link Man]

My file is ready:

 

[Ainaurdur]

My file is ready:

Gah, I still haven't decided exactly what name to use. Went Ainaur last year, but want to mix it up a bit.

Name him Dur.

 

[Chris R]

Got the wind crystals last night, just sucks that I can't play beyond that yet Oh well.

Should be fun to see what my jobs are with hard mode. Am I right in assuming that I keep the same wind crystal job the entire time and just get random jobs for the other three crystals (including maybe more wind crystal jobs) as I get them?

 

[Ainaurdur]

Name him Dur.

I like Derpz, myself.

You might be on to something here...

 

[Ourobolus]

All right, time to switch this avatar up.

Aw, he got Bard? Must have just beat out Geomancer.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Looks like it's time for me to head off to the Wind Crystal and get ready for this. So I guess technically I could gain a few levels beforehand to get ready right?

 

[Ourobolus]

Eh, I rather enjoy bee-lining it right to the Wind Crystal. Grinding beforehand also has the nasty side-effect of not providing you with any ABP, so I don't bother with it.

 

[Ourobolus]

Edit:
More play-by-play: RK just fried Byblos in about 2 seconds.

What's his schedule? Just marathoning it, or taking breaks?

 

[led4lyfe]

Oh shit, Bard sneaks in under the wire. RK lucks out.

What a crime!!!

 

[BassForever]

WTF. One-shotted the Sand Worm with an Aqua Breath.

Booooooo!

Aqua

Spoiler

rake

Breath is so good, easily one of my favorite blue magic spells.

 

[Ourobolus]

WTF. One-shotted the Sand Worm with an Aqua Breath.

Booooooo!

Booo indeed. I feel like this contest is going to start early. With Mighty Guard he won't have to level nearly enough for the endgame.

 

[Boney]

Morning!

hai

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Booo indeed. I feel like this contest is going to start early. With Mighty Guard he won't have to level nearly enough for the endgame.

Not if the Death Sickle never drops...they've just finished taking a "break" from that drop for some more blue magic from prototype (got all the spells it used).

 

[Man God]

Do dooo dooo do dooo-doot.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Chance of not getting death sickle (assuming 1/64 drop):
(63/64)^94=22.75%
Similar chances to getting a berserker

...and on battle 95 there it is. Death sickle got. Game can resume

Edit: Trying to learn white wind so they used Pond Chorus on the berserker to stop him killing the enemy. Death Sickle instant death actives when frog attacks. Thats got to be a run highlight.

 

[HiddenWings]

I like to grind up just enough cash to get everyone equipped

Spoiler

with stuff they shortly won't be able to use

.

I don't always, but I usually grab a single broadsword before heading into the wind shrine, so Lenna isn't stuck with her starting knife.
