>> As for including this statistic on the article, I find it discouraging and inconsistent with the content of other articles:

There is no other drop in the game I'm aware of that is **statistically impossible**. It's possible to aim for another item in the game and have a reasonable expectation of getting it with enough runs. That's not the case here. It's so incredibly unlikely that it is like winning the lotto.

There is no point in attempting to farm Xiphos until DE changes the drop rate. Attention needs to be brought to here so that people don't waste their time.

>> But why do we even discuss the chance to get all parts in three runs?

Because that's how you state a probability. This is math. This is how you do it. "1 in ____ chance" is how it is written. Because it's not 3 runs. It's a sample size of 8 million random runs, where 1 result turned out positive.

BTW it still would not have been 1.4% even if your assumption had been correct. Your methodolgy is what is flawed.
