Okay so I was talking about Gold rolls on vent the other day and we were talking about which level to roll (assuming the char is level 50). I said you wanted to roll 30-34 or 35-39 because you're locking yourself out of some good recipes if you roll 46-50 (you're also paying more tix per roll!). This started a train of thought that got me wondering what the most valuable gold rolls are and which ones you'd actually be missing out on.

So my question to you is, what are the 5 most valuable (strictly inf value) recipes? I'd be curious to see which would be missed out upon by rolling 46-50.

Off the top of my head, just from looking at the wiki page, I'd say the Miracle proc and Kinetic Combat 3-way are the two big ones that you'd be missing.

The Miracle Proc at lvl 40 is perhaps the most valuable Merit Roll there is for a lvl 50 character because of people rolling 46-50 and lowering the supply.

Keep it up people.

So the cool kids should roll 40-44 then? And there is no additional chaff added?

According to this, you're also getting Edict of the Master, Impervium Armor and Gift of the Ancients. If you drop to 35-39, you also add the Kinetic Combat 3-way and Entropic Chaos 3-way. Honestly, I'd say it's worth going down to 35-39 for KC.

Then again, if I were to be thorough about it, I'd price out all the recipes, average them out and see how much my average ticket value changes (not forgetting that 35-39 is cheaper than 46-50!).

But wait! I remember reading something about how the recipes weren't equally random, but weighted based on some vague statistic that the devs haven't released. Am I remembering that right? If so, an "average" isn't gonna tell you much more than going with the gut...
