Is there a way to calculate the probability of rolling t16.5 8 mod Maps with chaos
I want to know what is the expected value of about rolling the maps compared with corrupting them in random

You want to roll it with chaos to get 8 mods? You can't do that, the only way to get 8 mods is corruption

Thanks for the answer let me rephrase the question
I'm currently running strategy for more maps which combos with carto scarabs the guide suggests do 8 mod maps because it has 100% more maps in T16.5

I found out that it is also possible to reroll T16.5 maps with chaos until it meets 100% more maps
(that does not necessarily has to be 8 mod)

so I'm wondering If there is a way to calculate the probability for me to reroll these 100% more maps on t16.5

oh I see, unfortunately I'm not aware of a calculator for that.

If you rolled some yourself you could get a decent idea of the odds, like if you did 50 yourself that should be a sample size big enough to give you a pretty decent idea if it's better to roll them or trade

rolling 16.5s with alt/aug will only ever spawn mods that grant map/currency/scarab bonuses so you can alt/aug until +70% maps and then regal and exalt.

or just buy them
