wtf

It took me like 30 hours of farming Vunkerl to get my DRG feet, the main pair I wanted initially.

Since then, I have randomly obtained at least a dozen new pairs without lotting ANY of them.

[Alhanelem]

Only techinacally true. The drops rates are alters by the state of bastion and which martello cores are controlled.

its true that bastion affects treasure (though in the case of boxes, I think only the box appearance rate is affected, not the contents- I think the treasure hunter only applies to monster drops). but this isn't going to suddenly make one item more or less common in comparison to the others- only the overall rate changes.

Lol, i got my blm and rdm on first box of first kill..........there my lucked stopped. I needed Nin feet omfg they would not drop hours and hours and hours, decided find something else to wear. So off I go to get my last whm body seal, getting tp and gold box drops...Nin Feet.

My good friend and I have been trying to get him his blm for two f'ing weeks, he leaves to go to store, leaves a friend incharge of his character just in case....no sooner is he gone then they drop.

p.s. lesson learned don't throw any feet away...just store them, even if you may never level job

Random is random, but yeah the difficulty to obtain Empyrean feet is not proportional to the rest of the set.

No, but it's the same difficulty for everyone, which makes it fair. bodies also require more items than the other slots, but no one is complaining about that.

Get 8-16 amber. I've had the most success this way

Do not exceed 80, then you're in main temp item territory.

I find 80-96 to be best for farming small gold boxes for the base AF3 feet pieces. I think we spent around 30hrs~ trying to get 1 pair of DNC shoes. Still need BLU for my mule, at 25hrs+ and counting, although not consecutively (sp?).

Whenever I get a pair I don't need, I ask LS if anyone needs, then I do a /sea for people with them commented, and a /sh if nobody has comment. A few times, I've been offered the shoes I need if they should drop from people I've helped get the pair they needed.

80-96 just gives you tons of temps and is counterproductive. If you're a small group, aim for 8-16 amber.

the amount of time its taking me to get them i would have gained 500k cruor anyway

That's the point behind the 500k and that so many would not understand. I figure typical farming time for the feet, if unlucky enough, would equal to about enough time logged to have gotten about 500,000 cruor. So in my mind the 500k price would be fair. It gives you another option to obtain the feet in the unlikely event that the system never gifts you with the feet drop/highest lot which is entirely in the realm of possibility.
