g:gun, m:melee, a: armor v: vehicle, c:in-game cash, r: rp
So there are 6^6=46656 possibilities. Then we count the # in each case, and #/46656 is the actual chance.

1 token at most
One token in each type: gmavcr (an example)
P(6,6)=720

2 tokens at most
(a) five kinds of tokens: ggmavc
C(6,1)*C(5,4)*P(6,6)/P(2,2)=10800
(b) four kinds of tokens: ggmmav
C(6,2)*C(4,2)*P(6,6)/P(2,2)/P(2,2)=16200
(a) three kinds of tokens: ggmmaa
C(6,3)*P(6,6)/P(2,2)/P(2,2)/P(2,2)=1800
Total = 28800

3 tokens at most
(a) four kinds of tokens: gggmav
C(6,1)*C(5,3)*P(6,6)/P(3,3)=7200
(b) three kinds of tokens: gggmma
C(6,1)*C(5,1)*C(4,1)*P(6,6)/P(3,3)/P(2,2)=7200
(c) two kinds of tokens: gggmmm
C(6,2)*P(6,6)/P(3,3)/P(3,3)=300
Total = 14700

4 tokens at most
(a) three kinds of tokens: ggggma
C(6,1)*C(5,2)*P(6,6)/P(4,4)=1800
(b) two kinds of tokens: ggggmm
C(6,1)*C(5,1)*P(6,6)/P(4,4)/P(2,2)=450
Total = 2250

5 tokens at most
two kinds of tokens: gggggm
C(6,1)*C(5,1)*P(6,6)/P(5,5)=180

6 tokens at most
one kind of tokens: gggggg
C(6,1)*P(6,6)/P(6,6)=6

I love the overload of statistics but there was already a thread on this...

Ohh...having a nerdgasm over here :P

I assume that the gold values you estimate at the bottom assumes that you mutliply the cost of gold based on the number of attempts it would take on average to receive one of those rewards?

Yes. But here I added more info. If you don't need some rewards out of the 6 kinds, you can remove those and refer to the adjusted probability. Also, if you target at one specific weapon, the expected spent RM can also be found here.
