I got 2x Hairpins the first week and have not seen one since. IMO, they nerf items and never say anything.

The "altar" Paz drops is really low budget. Why bother? Make the thing decent sized or able to stay on... dang!
Took me 2000ish before I got my mount, obviously rngesus thought it was necessary to then give me 5 more in my last 200. Everything besides eureka potions and materia(which I've made a ton of money off of from these loot boxes) is junk once you've gotten them once.
I wish more things dropped from the NMs themselves becauses even though that is still total rng it's way more rewarding to get than spamming a button 500 times until ur inventory is full of pot helmets and fireworks. Like I was legitimately excited when I finally got my scorpion harness the first time(the harness to me was what the hairpin is to a few people in this thread) it got to a point where I started solo killing scorpions to spawn serket for the train if they weren't there :P
Only thing I need now is the pazuzu alter which could take a while.
The struggle! XD The stuff that I already have drops like crazy, but the item I REALLY want doesn't. RNG is so twisted!
I may just try to spawn Emperor of Anemos myself to force the train to come by and kill it since they tend to skip it when killing other NMs; hopefully someone will invite me to their party lol
The Pazuzu Alter, I got it after killing the beast when I just lvled to 19.
"Owed an explanation" hahahahahahahahahahahahaa
I have opened 3,000+ lock boxes and have yet to get the mount. I have gotten every other item that Eureka has to offer except that mount. I am not complaining, I just think it is funny. I will get it eventually!
I didn't get any rate items in my first couple thousand lockboxes, then I started getting too many after that. This week I even had 2 boxes in a row that both contained the mount lol. My combined total of mount and barding drops is up to about 33 so far.
I just made a "macro" (pressing numpad 0) every 0.75 seconds and bound it to my headset as a toggle. got through 1700 boxes in about half an hour, did have to take some time to place the massive amount of furniture in my house to create space in my inventory.
I now have a neat cylnder in my house which is made up of these things, one rotated a bit more than the other.
I'm half dreading what all I will get out of the lockboxes I've been too lazy to open, and just throw into my saddlebags....there are only about 3500 of them(will definitely be making a pretty penny...but so much running back and forth with items to be thrown at NPCs/retainer that holds all my materia).
