End-game players may be expected to have a [[Watchful]] of 267 to 345, depending on their [[Destiny]], [[Professions (Guide)|Profession]], [[Ambitions (Guide)|Ambition]], [[Übergoat]] ownership, and whether they have [[Watchful Gains|overcapped their Watchful]]. Including the Second Chance re-roll, this means the chances of success range from 77.9% (for a raw 53% chance to succeed) to 90.4% (for a 69% chance). The expected profits from success accordingly range between 19.48 and 22.6 E. On failure, players receive 2.5E, and the expected profit from failure ranges between .55 E and .24 E. Thus, the overall profit for this action is '''20.03 to 22.84''' '''E'''. If the player holds onto their Storm-Threnodies to [[Sell a Storm-Threnody for 200 Rat-Shillings|sell them at the Rat Market]] (available three weeks out of every twelve), overall profit increases to '''25.87 E to''' '''29.62 E''', at the cost of an additional action. | End-game players may be expected to have a [[Watchful]] of 267 to 345, depending on their [[Destiny]], [[Professions (Guide)|Profession]], [[Ambitions (Guide)|Ambition]], [[Übergoat]] ownership, and whether they have [[Watchful Gains|overcapped their Watchful]].

− | To calculate EPA, the action to obtain the Second Chance must also be considered, | + | To calculate EPA, the action to obtain the Second Chance must also be considered, not simply the 8 action cost of this option. The most efficient methods of obtaining second chances are [[Give a Gift! A commotion in the Square of Lofty Words|Give a Gift!]] and the [[Everyone deserves a second chance|Church/Great Game conflict card]], both of which give 1 of each Advantage. If players have access to the Cave of the Nadir, they may [[The end of battles|use the leftover Advantages]] to a profitable end; if they do not (for example because they have overcapped stats and wish to preserve them), the other Advantages are not useful. Thus, the cost of a Sudden Insight may be either 1/4 of an action or 1 full action. |
Accordingly, players with access to the Nadir and Rat Market have an overall EPA expectation of '''2.79 to 3.20'''; players who do not, who must count obtaining the Insight as a full separate action and sell the Storm-Threnody for its normal price, have an overall EPA of '''2.23 to 2.54.''' In either case, this is lower EPA than [[Learn of the Overgoat]], on the same card. | Accordingly, players with access to the Nadir and Rat Market have an overall EPA expectation of '''2.79 to 3.20'''; players who do not, who must count obtaining the Insight as a full separate action and sell the Storm-Threnody for its normal price, have an overall EPA of '''2.23 to 2.54.'''
