Availability of HMPs, Riftcinders, Riftdross

Happy New Year 2016 to you and to everyone reading this post!

To answer your question, I believe the drop rate is no different from the drop of single HMPs. I can get about 4 Pil's Tuille in about 10 kills. As for HMPs, maybe 2 out of every 15 kills. Using Bismark as an example, I get up to 2 every 30 kills for riftdross or riftcinders.

In 2016, I am hoping the development team will ease up on the drop rate. The 1500 HMP and 60 Riftcinder/Riftdross system is fine imo, but like Stompa mention in an earlier post, there should be some kind of minimum drop ratio per kill for HMPs. As riftdross/riftcinders, the only realistic solution for that is to increase the drop where you are getting one, the other, or a weapon/armor every fight to keep it a bit balanced. This is based on having capped lights.

4/10 for Pil's Tuille is extremely lucky. The playerbase has generated a pretty accurate database for VW drops. Here's Pil's: http://ffxidb.com/voidwatch/127

Basically HMP is about 34% and Pil's Tuille is exactly 5%.

Thank you. I see that my during that day my luck was high. I just can't seem to have that with HMPs, Riftdross/Riftcinders though. Oddly enough, I was happy to have those 4 Pil's Tuille because it allowed and motivate me to upgrade a couple of relic pieces as well as put a little gil in my pocket.

Thanks for the response and I figured that it might be something like this to the drop rate over the hmp's I was getting but didn't need the plates over attempting to get at least 2 Pils Tuiles to drop when I was going solo with trusts before getting lucky in having two ls mates to join in on Pil later on even if for a temporary moment while attempting to farm a couple of Pil's Tuille smithing materials which to date has yet to still not get any drops thus far. An Idea I had was either give my own ls mates that needed the plates to them or sell them on the AH since they are now Auction House'able and use the gil from the hmp's sold on the ah to purchase any possible Pil's Tuille's that might have become available to AH-Purchase which in reality it would be like a trade off from one to the other minus the gil's used in doing the trades factor!

Yeah gil's from Pil's Tuille off the ah on leviathan server would be nice at the going cost rate they are selling for on the AH too!!
