The Max Amount of Cave Attempts Possible... Updated!
Old version!

Want to find out the max amount of Cave attempts possible? Keep reading!

Let's start with assuming that you immediately start your Cave attempts at 12:00:00 ECT. Let's also assume that it takes 5 seconds to view an egg, another 5 seconds to return to the Cave, 5 seconds to name an egg (assuming you have names ready), and 1 second to confirm a name. That means, in total, to steal a new egg you'd take 16 seconds. Therefore, it is most efficient to view each egg first, and while the timer is ticking for a new attempt, you can steal an egg.

Since we are trying to find the amount of attempts possible, we are going to assume that after our first ten Cave attempts, every single time we only have to wait 9 minutes before the next attempt. Unlikely, but possible.

Therefore, using the numbers from above, we can calculate the max amount of attempts possible. First, we will figure out how long the first ten attempts will take:

16 seconds * 10 attempts = 160 seconds or 2 minutes and 40 seconds

The first ten attempts will take, assuming the numbers above, 2 min. and 40 sec. The amount of time it takes for each extra attempt is 9 min. and 16 sec. Now, we minus the first ten attempts by the amount of seconds in a day (86,400). After we get that number, we divide it by the time it takes for an extra attempt.

(86,400 - 160) / [(9*60) + 16] =

Want to find out the probability of you getting a monthly in your first ten Cave attempts? Keep reading!

Before we begin, I'll state that there are 61 possible creatures to get in the Cave, 2 being monthlies. If it is the last day of CRW, then there will be 68 possible creatures to get.

On your first Cave attempt, the chance of getting a monthly is 2/61 (≈ 3%), and the probability of getting a monthly/CRW is 9/68 (≈ 13%).

About Vulpselle Eggs

Made of pure glass with an iridescent glow emanating from its core, the Vulpselle egg is extremely fragile. Many keep the egg wrapped in cloth to not only avoid breaking it, but also to resist succumbing to their own vanity. Possessing the special ability to project the perfect representation of ones person in its reflection, those who keep this creature in its egg form are most likely those who have fallen victim to its spell.

About the Vulpselle Creature

If Aphrodite was any creature in the world of Ark, it would be the Vulpselle. Immensely beautiful, but hopelessly vain and proud, these creatures almost never interact with other species because of their lack of interest in anything but themselves and their kind. The Vulpselle travel in large packs, and have the ability to bewitch other creatures into doing their bidding, or worse, becoming their slaves. The saddles on their backs indicate their status, with the most elaborate being the highest within their monarchy. These creatures are royalty in Ark, and are never to be double crossed.
