The actual rarest thing that can happen in Terraria: a luck-turbocharged Pirate Corsair

  1. Hopefully I didn't fat-finger some numbers here. Chances are high given how much there are…
    even if I did, the range of around 10^500 should be accurate no matter what. Does it even matter at this point?

    Also, credit to filipssh for the reduced gap design for the hypothetical logic gate thingy.

  2. Maybe using a rocket launcher with rocket 2 and killing 5 pirates at once and all of them drop all the item conditions and then the dirt the rocket breaks drops all dirtiest block on a large new genrated world and that might surpass the odds you get with a zapinator

  3. I'm always fascinated with stupidly large numbers and rare chances and events, so this video tickled all the right spots for my monke gamer brain. Please don't stop making these useless but fascinating videos, I never get tired watching them. 🙂

  4. The pirate was the actual unluckiest thing in this video, he got taken to hell and shot for the sake of science

  5. If anyone watching is interested in other ways luck plays a part in Terraria, I recommend Wand of Sparking's Dream luck playthrough. He goes through many different situations that you might not think luck plays a part in, with a lot of number crunching to boot!

  6. 1 small correction about the drops:
    The mech summons can only drop one at a time, even with max luck, as I’ve played through the game with max luck and they only dropped one mech summon at a time
