Which VNMs drop HMPs/Riftdross/Riftcinder??
Original Voidwaker NMs - Drop upgrade items for many of the other Magian trial weapons, but none for the pure Empy path.
Abyssea VNMs drop Colorless souls are unsellable - also not the stage we're complaining about.

The issue with HMP/Riftcinder/Riftdross collection is the fact that you can't get 12-18 man Allies to have a POOL of people to buy from.
One x12 run on Qilin and I could buy ~50-100 plates with 18 people. One x12 run with my trusts and I'm lucky if I get 0.
One x12 run of Kaggen I could buy ~48 plates. One x12 run with my trusts and I'm lucky if I get 0.

You either seriously need to up the drop rate of HMP/Rift items or give use other means of obtainment. Because the current obtainment rate of 0 per run is fighting against infinity.
