Guessing you are not doing the fates with the correct minion out for the zone you are in. (Each minion has 3 zones which its legendary medallion will drop in if it is out for the fate.)

Yeh I agree, it sounds like the other person is making the mistake. As you said they do need not only to be wearing the watch but also they need the correct minion out and in the correct zone. To find out which zone they just need to go into their special inventory items and read what says when open the minion guide thing and click on the specific minion.

I have both watch and correct minion just not getting any legendary drop finally got 2/9 now at about 60 fates. RNG doesnt favor us all :/ Ill finish my minion then if i dont get another wep i dont think ill bother not like they are anything special.

With the crappy drops for these legendary medallion(got 2 in 30 fates) and the weapon really does not appeal to me, just not worth the time spent to get them.... so ill just get the minions

I don't think anyone is gonna get all the weapons unless this person has issues investing her time elsewhere. Honestly, I had hope SE had understand why the entire community gave them crap for the atmas. Needing 15 tokens for 1 weapon is about the same as spending 9 hours in East Shroud for an Atma for me. I'll never do this. I wanted few of the weapons and I'm just not interested anymore.

Weapon number 8 requires 15 again. I guess it is capped at 15.

This grind is very annoying, but oh well, might as well watch shows that I have missed in meantime.

Might be a silly question, but do you need the watch on for the Legendary Medals?

I'm glad that it at least capped on 15 instead of going higher and higher with each weapon.

so that means u basically need 162 legendary medals to get them all >_> yea imma stop with the one i have now those drop rates are not worth the effort

nvm /10char

Better than the 257 number people were throwing around but still yup, not worth the effort.

My minion never once despawnwd while collecting legendary medallions.

Unless you're sitting on top of your mount, this will look like the minion is not out, but it's not removed. Now if you put your chocobo in the party, that's the only time the minion will be removed but it gives you a message, letting you know that you can't have both out or unable to spawn the minion during combat.

Does the order of the area in the Medallium list for each minion have anything to do with how often legendaries drop there? Western seemed to drop much more of them for Hovernyan than South Shroud (0/19 fates), but I don't know if that was because of the list order, or just that I have terrible, sporadic luck.

While it is RNG based, the list of each minions tells you 3 area's/zones and I am not 100% on that, but it looks like that only this area/zone gives the chance of dropping the legendary crystal, and the order of the list don't matter either. If you just go for the regular medals then it don't matter, you get 1 medal every time you get gold/silver from the fate.

Example, I found myself last night of not having one legendary crystal drop in central thanalan, even so it's listed as the first option on the Komajiro minion. Switched to western la noscea, got 7 crystals within 34 fates, and some of them dropped one after another, after that I got 9 tokens within 12 fates in the same area just different minion.

No, the drop rate actually is that believably bad. I went nearly 30 FATEs in Central Thanalan before getting any.

---

Uhh, no. The only reason your minion will disappear is if you call out your chocobo. It also temporarily disappears if you mount, but I don't think this actually affects anything because when you get off your mount your minion will reappear.

Ok, so do any of the fates areas have known guaranteed drops for certain legendary medals, or was that hint totally bogus?

I want to say yes, certain FATES do drop it everytime, seen the Legend for USApyon drop again and again for that cactuar FATE thing [ can't remember the name ] in W.Thana

Edit
Can confirm, Legendary Medals for specific Yo-Kai are guaranteed for certain Fates.

I.E. USApyon's Legendary Medal HAS dropped 3 times in a row FOR ME in the FATE Bubble Trouble AND Needles to Slay in W.Thanalan

I'm pretty sure they're not "guaranteed" drops, but I have noticed that certain quests seem to have increased drop rates, like the Fates that spawn in Beast Tribe areas and a lot of successive Fates (ones that have multiple parts to them).

These drop rates are not as bad as people are making them out to be. They drop at a rate that's pretty much equal to the current state of the Atma Grind, but you just have to get multiples of them, that's all.

Bad news, weapons 11/12/13 are 30 medals each :( :( :(

Mine has a few times oddly enough. Before every fate now I check to make sure he's still summoned.

Not too sure if anyone has mentioned or noticed this, but while I was doing some solo FATEs tonight I COULD NOT summon a Yokai minion while my Chocobo was out. Idk if this is a bug or supposed to be this way, butwhen I summoned my Chocobo, whisper disappeared.

Not a bug, since the beginning of the game we can't summon a minion while choco is out :'(

Uh.. gonna be so much fun. :rolleyes:

If their goal was to make the playerbase despise an entire franchise, this seems to be a very effective means of doing so.

Mother of.....
Well, Yoshi P. DID say during the LL that trying to get all weapons will be a ridiculous task

Just spread the grinding out over these 2 months if you don't want to drive yourself insane

Acknowledging it does not make it any better ^_^. Good thing it is optional, and I'm perfectly satisfied with my 3 weapons and the mount I got for collecting all the minions. I just feel bad for collectors and completionists now =/.

Yet isn't getting all the weapons required for some achievement ? ^^"

I would be fine with the amount of legendary medals if there were more variety in ways to get them other than spamming FATEs. They could have added 1 Legendary Medal for each Duty Roulette completion etc. It would add variety and also make the playerbase help out newer players. This way, players can at least have a variety of choices of playing either FATEs or other contents.

For now it feels like the FATE grind isnt going to be that hard. However, that is because this event is still new and everyone is on the hype train and doing FATEs. Fast Foward 2-3 weeks later, probably half of the players will either have completed all 13 weapons or given up. Leaving lesser people to do FATES = Slower completion time. Therefore just making this even more of a grindfest than it is right now.

I have a rather strong suspicion we'll eventually be able to get a few of them by exchanging the regular medals, considering how anyone actually going for all the weapons is going to be sitting on piles and piles of them if they kept their watch on.

I'm almost certain that the achievement you get from getting all of the weapons will give you a title since I do believe that none of the other achievements did.

I do believe that there's a rumor going around that doing ALL of the weapons will get you a new Event mount.

hey i'm new to the game and have a question about the event weapons. i am level 30 and got the yo kai staff now. will the staff get stronger when i level up? or will it be useless later? can i copy the look of the staff to other staffs then? thanks 4 your help

The weapons are glamourable, which means you can make any other weapon of that type look like the Yo-kai weapon.

Disappointing, but not entirely unexpected.
Glow effects seem to be the go-to for making an item seem 'better'.
