just because something drops that you dont want, doesnt mean it doesnt count as a drop, thats what im saying, and thats a very very simple thing to understand

I don't disagree but the thread title is Hamlet Seal drop rate. So it's drop rate for seal only.

No, iirc they were going to be things like 'Excalibur' and so on.

yes, which is around 30-50% at 60k+ runs, which isnt too too bad considering

and even moreso since weve confirmed you DO NOT need to do the hamlet end of things multiple times if you are going for multiple relics

From my records:

Aleport: 64 successful runs
Hyrstmill: 53 successful runs
Golden Bazaar: 67 successful runs

Total successful runs: 184

Seals obtained: 92 recorded, plus at least 10-15 that went to PUGs

So for the sake of argument, 102 seals in 184 runs. Keep in mind that those runs also include a few that were less than 60k for whatever reason.

That's over 50% drop rate, better than anything else in the entire game. If you want to complain about something, complain about the gear drop rates.

Yeah I know but you were talking about gear drops and stuff. No one's talking about that

people were comparing the drop rate of seals to the drop rate of "anything that drops from instance X" so yes, it was pretty relevent to what i was talking about though

you cant just say "only seals count here but any drop counts there" and so on

I got my nine seals by the time I was mid 40s for each hamlet. A third of my seals were through my LS using our dkp system based on effort and the rest were from groupd formed within a LS just for the purpose of hamlets, so based more on luck.

Other people I have talked to have had similar results with their hamlet totals, so it is probably reasonable to assume about 120-150 hamlet runs needed in total to get 9/9

With a group of 18 LS members going for relic, some faster than others, with about 70 hamlets per we've gotten most of them to have 6/9 seals. Starting today people will be finishing their 3rd seal for the hamlets. While I did do some extra hamlet runs to help, with a dedicated group of 8 people 40 runs per hamlet sounds about right to get 9/9

I am seeing a trend of when it rains it pours. Others have commented on this as well. (Seals dropping almost every run for a few days, then no seals for 14 straight runs.. all 60k+)

Hey guys, hamlet is boring and uninspired and is way too much of a time sink for the level of content it offers. Can we move on now and close this thread?
