Read the cost and risk together
Worked example: a level 200 item from 17 to 22 stars
For ordinary equipment, mode 1, safeguard on, no MVP discount and zero replacement cost, the local model gives these results. The Shining scenario uses destruction reduction through 21 stars, matching the calculator's default:
| Scenario | Meso | Attempts | Destructions | At least one destruction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No event | 39.54B | 129.2 | 4.24 | 80.91% |
| Shining selected | 21.54B | 86.3 | 2.43 | 70.81% |
These are averages across repeated runs, not a budget that guarantees 22 stars. The destruction count includes repeated breaks; the percentage answers a different question: whether a run has any break at all. Set a replacement price to include the cost of obtaining another item.
Compare the same goal with and without an event before deciding when to spend. Selecting Shining describes that scenario; it does not mean the event is active today. Estimates use the calculator's GMS v271 community model.
Model inputs: pinned community rates. Game changes: Nexon's v271 notes. The expected results above are calculated here, rather than quoted from those notes.
