About this tool
Deciding whether to open or sell valuable gems is a common Knight Online dilemma. This simulator offers data-driven analysis for informed decisions.
It uses expected value and Monte Carlo simulations to show average profit and the full range of outcomes. Understand risks and rewards to optimize your in-game economy.
WORKED EXAMPLE
Worked Example: Gem of Life
The expected net profit from opening 100 Gem of Life items is 92,500,000 Noah.
See if opening 100 Gem of Life items is profitable versus selling them directly, using example market prices and drop rates.
Open Count100 Gem of LifeGem Cost1,500,000 Noah per Gem of Life (Example price; check current prices.)Sale Factor97% (You sell items for 97% of their market value.)
FormulaExpected net = sum(probability × reward value × sale_factor) − opening cost.
- 1. Calculate Total Opening Cost: 100 gems × 1,500,000 Noah/gem = 150,000,000 Noah.
- 2. Calculate Expected Value per Reward (after 97% sale factor): Item A: (0.50 × 1,000,000 Noah) × 0.97 = 485,000 Noah. Item B: (0.30 × 2,500,000 Noah) × 0.97 = 727,500 Noah. Item C: (0.15 × 5,000,000 Noah) × 0.97 = 727,500 Noah. Item D: (0.05 × 10,000,000 Noah) × 0.97 = 485,000 Noah.
- 3. Sum Expected Reward per gem: 485,000 + 727,500 + 727,500 + 485,000 = 2,425,000 Noah.
- 4. Total Expected Net Profit: (100 × 2,425,000 Noah) - 150,000,000 Noah = 92,500,000 Noah.
| Option | Expected Noah Value (after fees) |
|---|
| Open and Sell Rewards | 242,500,000 |
| Sell Raw Gems Directly | 145,500,000 |
Opening 100 Gem of Life items is expected to yield 92,500,000 Noah profit, likely more profitable than selling raw gems. This is an *expected* value; actual results vary due to luck. Monte Carlo simulation shows the range of outcomes and real risk.
