Alpha Status
‘Alpha’ is a property of D1SKs and Illuvitars, indicating their status as especially rare. The Alpha Sale will be a 24-hour event at the start of Waves, with an unlimited supply of Alpha D1SKs. Alpha D1SKs remain a luxury item with no additional power in the Beyond Album but is priced more moderately than in Wave 1 with pricing now Alpha Standard D1SKs (0.00601 ETH) & Alpha Mega D1SKs (0.05401), with a shorter sales window to ensure that anyone who wants to participate in launch events can do so. The Illuvitars in an Alpha D1SK are marked as ‘Alpha’ with a symbol on the Illuvitar itself.

D1SK Load Distribution
Below are the weights for each random attribute of an item found in a D1SK in Set 1, Wave Two. It determines the probability of receiving a specific type of item.
Note: Each Wave is a subset of the overall Set and has its own Illuvitars distribution. Weights are adjusted from the set 1 weight so that the composition of loaded items from any Wave more closely resembles the overall Set distribution. Backgrounds, Accessories, and Tier 0 Illuvitars are consistent between Waves, and as such, use the set 1 weights.
Random Illuvitar Attribute Weights
Attribute weights determine the random Illuvitar you receive. The attribute weights determine the Tier, Stage, Expression, Finish, Background Tier, and Background Stage of your Illuvitar.
Note: A random Illuvitar cannot have a Tier 0 Background.
Tier & Stage
Please be advised that effective percentages for D1SK stages are estimates only. All stages are sampled together after the tier has been decided, and each Illuvitar in a tier is given weights according to their stage.
For example: Depending on the number of a specific stage Illuvitar for a tier, the tier is rolled first and then the stage. So in Wave 2 there is 6 Tier 2 Illuvitars to roll from, 5 from stage 3, and 1 from Stage 2 if you roll a Tier 2, you have a '5x1/(5x1+(1x3))' = [5/8] chance of getting a Stage 3.

Guaranteed Rare Illuvitar
In a Mega D1SK, one of the items is guaranteed to be rare. The way that this is determined is:
1. Generate a random Illuvitar as per the random Illuvitar Attribute Weights.
2. Check that the Illuvitar Power is equal to the threshold for a ‘rare’ Illuvitar; if not, generate another.
Note: A ‘rare’ Illuvitar is defined to be in the top 8.5% (1450 Power) of all Illuvitar Power. A collector must buy approximately 12 Standard D1SKs to achieve this power level.
‘Rare’ Illuvitars have a guaranteed total power (including background power) of at least 1450. For example, you could get a Common Illuvitar with a Rare background to hit this threshold; alternatively, you could get a rare Illuvitar with a common background.
Illuvitar Power
Each Illuvitar has a power rating used in Illuvium: Beyond to earn the collector points when they add it to their collections. Power is calculated using the baseline weights to ensure that equivalent Illuvitars between sets have equivalent power.
