Steps:
1.i have noticed the rng is totally off, its been horrible crafting for 3 months, cant make anything, even with 5 final shields i am broke. all the server mats are raised prices, the products u make are lowered prices, and when u hq u break even its gotten so hard to make honest gil, and i dont bot, or merc. i just play the game normally. but i have been very disappointed every time i try to do anything in game i make no money or break even or make 1-3 mil a week , even with final shield. i have no clue if its just horrible luck, or something is amiss, or someone out there the SE gods hate me.

Your bad luck is not a bug.

There's no such thing as the RNG being "off." RNG doesn't have a bad hair day or treat different people differently. It's a pseudorandom algorithm that produces unpredictable outputs from an initial seed (that is probably set when the servers are booted up) and then previous outputs.

The only time anyone should be posting a bug relating to drop rates is if it's a 100% or Common tier drop and it fails to drop when no one in the party posesses the item (and this has been verified, i've seen people report this but they had the item in a storage area), because this is the only time it is possible to prove that something drop rate related isn't working.

There have been people who posted on this very forum trying to get a ridill from Fafnir for decades. 3 months is nothing.

lol yeah def not a bug, but i'm also on bahamut crafting is dieing due to the server lock down. No new players really hurts the economy. Either players have the gear already, or they generally dont care about it. No new players really hurts.

118, so you'll only need head, body, neck, shield (with buff), ring, ring2, coconut rusk and one of:
mega moglification: goldsmithing OR advanced synthesis support from Fatimah, Rajaaha or the waist.

Without the shield, rings & rusk HQ rate you mention is actually normal.
If you don't have at least 118 skill while crafting, then you won't ever HQ.


Last year I had a similar nasty spot of bad luck. I did i think 1/80~ on Moonlight Necklace which is absurd.
