Oh well. It's SE, what do you expect? We should all be used to it by now.

It's not an issue specific to SE, it's just how drop rates work in games like these. Hell I remember in Monster Hunter hearing of people killing Monoblos 100+ times and never seeing the heart drop. I remember being in groups killing certain bosses for someone who needed one thing and everyone else but the person who needed it got the item. Whenever you're dealing with drop rates, shit like this happens. Some games are just more lenient than others and some groups just have better luck than others.

Trick is you gotta light fireworks on the chest you want drops off of. Only works once per run, and only 1 chest.

*Body drop excluded.

I think it is where it should be. It is a fair system (not going straight to someone's inventory like primals), and it's rate seems right. I think 1/10 of the time, we see "some" piece of Darklight gear, which seems right to me. I think some of you just have really bad luck.

Way to ditch us w/out saying anything Tech.

I like 'em rare, but it is a fine line between deliciously rare and exciting to see the drop and so extremely rare we run till we are all bored of the activity.

At least we can pass this gear and I don't end up with some item I will never use that someone else desperately wants.

Many said that it's about 3-5% drop rate , so it's all up to your luck
And speed run not even increase the drop rate , just only for pop more chest that's body part

We've run over 100 runs both AV/CC with speed run got about 18 drop so far with

1 Darklight Cowl (junk)
2 Darklight Breeches (junk)
2 Darklight Eyepatch
3 Darklight Carligae (junk)
2 Darklight Boots
3 Darklight Bracers (junk)
3 Darklight Helm
1 Darklight Gauntlets
1 Darklight Flanchard

all up to luck , really

IMO , it should be only 1% drop to consider it to be the extremely rare item for this patch.

Has anyone thought that maybe the drop rates are the way they are because SE wants the items to be that rare? Would you have have a higher drop rate, but a 72-hour cooldown on the dungeon?

out of about 120 total SR5C across AV/CC since patch day (600 chests) we've gotten about 25 pieces of Darklight. Only 4~5 body pieces in total.

REPETITIVE BULLSH*T - LOVIN' IT

No complaints on our end, other than the lack of body drops we've gotten, but hey.. Can't complain with 25 DL pieces in around 125-130 runs. (80-90 speed runs).

Darklight Breeches are best in slot for WHM and the Caligae are arguably best in slot for DRG and BRD.

It makes me sad when people get the rare stuff but don't know the worth of what they're getting.
