No, this is definitely false. You would need to open ~1m chests to get the achievement which would take ~50,000 hours assuming 20 chests an hour which is generous. No way square expected that.

It was 100% intended for this achievement to be purchased. Its why the carrots are MB.

You need 100.000 chests, not 1m, the droprate is 1%. You can open about 30-40 per hour, so thats 2500 hours of grind. Its bad but still doable. Winning 3k frontline matches is more time consuming

it is 1% per chest, which adds up in the wrong odds even further....

it is like you can have a gather point at 99% and fail to get some 3 out of 4 attempts....

Also when removing materia from gear that is supposed to be 40% it is not when you add it up.

The Law of Large Numbers applies here.

well, you dont have to. You can farm it by all possible means in the game, since you can also just buy them for gil. Nothing locks you into OC

Thats my whole point. There is no way SE intended people to grind it for 2500 hours.

It's just another thing that makes me look at this content and feel like nothing in it is made for me.

i still belive they messed up its droprate, along with the 99 sanguinite mount. They should have added carrots to silver chests with a 5-10% droprate to make it bearbable, instead of the mount

I hope they do better with the next zone drop rates

I opened almost 900 chests. I don't know how many of these were bronze, maybe 750 to 800? I got 2 carrots so far.

This is like a 1% achievement meant for the ultra-rich rich and avg players will just be happy to sell fate carrots for 2m even if it's like a 1% drop rate. There are a lot of other easier achievements to do in the meantime, like I'm still slowly doing mount collections.

I mean even if you were to somehow buy all carrots, the sheer amount of time that it takes to finish this is absurd. So more likely that this is made for those who play 24/7 or bots. Because we all know that a lot of people are botting achievements with plugins.

I've only see one my entire time doing the content. If I ever get more I'm instantly putting them on the Marketboard.

Very few achievements are widly botted with plugins. The three I can think of are melding materia, 20k hordes, and leveling trusts.

Ok also maybe the crafting ones.

But most of the others are likely legit.

1k carrots is actually not horrible provided you have 1k carrots. There are generally several spawned at a time, i imagine you could do like 50 an hour making this a 20 hour grind. Bad but not nearly as bad as many others. I don't imagine this will be botted.

1% is extremely generous, lol. Right now it's a 0.006% achievement according to lalachievements which is really something because it doesn't really involve a huge time sink to get. Most people who would actually want the title probably got it by now.

I've gotten 3 of them. There's a really easy surefire way to guarantee you always get one so I just do that when I want to try for the new emote
