Talk:Xan

Reading the source, iron shoes or low boots only protect you 40% of the time rather than the 50% originally claimed.

If you are wearing iron shoes or low boots, there is a 50% chance the xan will "prick the exposed part of your leg"; if it doesn't, there is a 20% chance that it will prick through your boot; if not, it scratches your boot. The first two results have the same damage. In total:

|Description|Overall probability|Outcome| |Prick exposed leg|50%|full damage| |Prick through boot|20% of 50% = 10%|full damage| |Scratch boot|80% of 50% = 40%|no damage|

As you can see, iron shoes/low boots only protect you 40% of the time. 93.97.11.63 15:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
