Brulo and Maere Colorless Soul drop rate issue.

Brulo and Maere tier 3 VNM seem to have a very low drop rate on dropping 2x "Colorless Soul". Compared to Ogopogo which seems to have a much higher drop rate on dropping 2 Colorless Souls.

Brulo and Maere will drop 1 Colorless Soul most of the time, very rarely will they drop 2. Could the dev team look into this because the drop rate on getting 2 Colorless Souls seems very low almost to a point where I believe it is much lower then intended since Ogopogo has such a high drop rate for 2 souls.

Due to this fact there is much more competition at Chione and Ogopogo all day long. It's not surprising to see 10-20 people there trying to claim Chione.

Have you actually seen testing for this? I haven't. I hear it all the time from people who do a ton of Ogopogo and only a few of the other 2 because they are harder and deduce Ogopogo has the better drop rate because of skewed kill counts.

Definitely killed Brulo and Maere many times to see they only drop 1 soul almost all the time. I never seen Brulo drop 2 in about 15 kills, Maere I seen drop 2 once in 10 times. Ogopogo on the other hand I see drop 2 souls about 75% or more of the time.

There is absolutely no doubt that Ogopogo has a significantly higher drop rate.

There were several mobs that had lower then normal drop rates on their items when heroes of abyssea was added such as Apademak and Dragua for example and they were eventually fixed.

I think these 2 vnms are a part of the drop rate screw up in that they drop so less often the similar NMs.

First time I've seen actually numbers (assuming ogopogo is what you used to finish farming). Disappointing definitely but it might be intentional since it is generally accepted the easiest of the 3 T3 VNM. That said I agree the drop rates should be increased to follow constancy because really this phase for Shield/Harp is ridiculous enough.

Those were adjusted because they dropped 0 or 0-2 items Emp instead of the 1-2. I think it was 0 but my memory is hazy about farming Dragua before the fix.
