Treasure Hunter Testing

[Babekeke]

Subbed you only get TH2, not TH3. If you say that TH3 is useful, you just gave yourself a reason to bring a THF.

Unless you have A TH aug Tarutaru Sash, of course. Or you're in abyssea using TH atma. Or you have treasure hound in Quon present zones.

/THF users will no doubt go out of their way to get a taru sash, so /THF = TH3/4

(Edit so as not to require a second post)

we learn from this:
A) treasure hunter from gear is the same as treasure hunter from procs.

Correct.

B) treasure hunter from gear / procs. is so weak that it takes 1000 + kills to see a measurable increase from it.

Great job testing guys, now make them fix it.

Edit: I guess if you plan on killing the same NM 1000+ times, then you will see the benefit of bringing a Thief. That means that the reason Treasure Hunter is considered SOOOOOO powerful is: we will be Killing the same Notorious Monster 1,000,000,000 Times. Thanks for that glimpse into the future of FFXI.

All I can say to this is OMFG, are you serious?
If they reported back and said:

we killed 1 mob with TH9 and 1 mob with TH10, and we got more scales on the TH10 kill

we'd have sent them back with their tails between their legs. Instead, they produce a fair sample size, and idiots like you just see it as NEEDING 1000 kills to see a difference.

The trouble with increasing a chance, is that it's still a chance. If you increase TH to have a 95% drop rate and kill a mob once, you could still not get the drop then next time kill it with 5% chance of drop and it drops.

I hope you're glad I took out the time to respond to your trolling

The test required a sample size that big. You are a moron.

Edit: to reiterate. They didn't have to kill 1500 mobs to figure out how much of an increase it was. They killed 1500 mobs just to have reliable proof that there was any increase in drops at all.

Which is how it should be, that way a thf is not required, but still provides a benefit.

Also, you whine a lot. Also, I told you so.
