What does the rarity scale go to?

What is the highest number possible on the rarity scale of eggs, which would mean that EVERYONE has it?

@mewditto555 The scale goes from 0 to 500. It's in the FAQ. 😉

Thank you, that means there are approximately 256 doovoo left on the website 😃

That many DooVoos- you did your math wrong o_o

Orderedchaos • 9 April 2012 at 3:32 PM

@mewditto555 Wrong. Very, very wrong. There are way less than that many doovoos left. There are less than 100 gobblers and that has a rarity of 7. The formula that determines the weighted rarity deals with the Law of Large Numbers and isn't a simple derivation of how many creatures there are left.

It's about what Orderedchaos said, I'm too confuzzled by it, and you told me you is a computer geek, and you're learning how to program, so I think you may be able to figure this out o_o

To find how many Doovoos exist, wouldn't you have to add up all the weighted rarities and divide the total # of creatures by the total amount of weighted rarity? And that amount would show what a rarity of 1 means?

@zafeyry
Lets the math geek try. *goes to get graphing calculator*

Nu, then 1 would equal..like 1,422 o_o

Orderedchaos • 10 April 2012 at 6:22 PM

@zafeyry Pretty sure the formula is more complicated than that. Unfortunately all I know is that it involves the Law of Large Numbers and that's about it.

@whispers
That's if you divide the total number of creatures by 500 😋 I said you have to add up the weighted rarities of every single creatures and THEN divide by the number of total creatures to find what 1 equals. I'm not doing that xD
