Coil drop rates

[JayvirDeforte]

We tend to get a lot of Dragoon belts as well. However, recently we've been getting some tank drops so the RNG is still probably working as intended.

Actually, turn 1 is stacked in favour of Dragoons. It isn’t just people using a low sample base.

Coil of Bahamut Loot Tables

Above is a spread sheet based on the information gathered here. Each turn has 17-18 drops which are divided between the two chests. Each chest has a unique pool, so each item can only come from one of the chests.

However there is a HUGE discrepancy in the distribution of items in Turn 1. There are 13 items in the Left chest and only 4 in the Right. This means that the items in the left chest have a 1/13th drop rate (7.7%) and the ones in the right have a 1/4th drop rate (25%). And to compound this 2 of the 4 items in the Right are DRG, making it a 50% chance each run that at least 1 DRG gear will drop. And just to fully summarise Turn 1:

Tank = 30.8% left, 0% right
DRG = 15.4% left, 50% right
MNK = 23.1% left, 0% Right
BRD = 7.7% left, 25% Right
Mage = 7.7% left, 25% Right
Healer = 15.4% left, 0% Right

So DRG gear kinda has double the chance of dropping gear than everyone else. The chest distributions haven’t been fully confirmed for turn 2 and 4. I can’t fully analyse but at the moment turn 2 seems evenly distributed, but turn 4 is slightly skewed to the centre chest having a larger pool. Turn 5 is split 9/9 with weapons and armour (unless the Ancient Shields for mages drop from one or the other chest)

Holy balls someone actually applied hard data to the thread. *falls over*

Now the question becomes WHY? WHY ARE DRAGOONS THE GOLDEN CHILD IN EARLY COIL SE?!

[Vantwan]

Ok why the hell are the items split like that in turn 1? Good lord SE you literally have to make a conscious effort to be this dumb.

[Dano]

i guess they want to make some item really rare

*switches main from WHM to DRG* hehehe :3

Dev post here confirming the loot distribution indeed being bugged. It will be fixed soon, so hopefully more differentiated drops

Cheers. That is good to know.

I think to compensate, SE should allow us to trade our Dragoon belt for any piece from that same box for one time only

Because I think only the new members in our FC don't have the coil t1 belt yet...
