Monk and Dragoon Drops In Crystal Tower....

Took me thirty runs for monk chest and had multiple runs with 3x tank and 3x bard gear. What's your point?

I find a lot of BLM gear whenever I go to CT, which I wouldn't mind if I didn't already have ilvl90 of everything except the belt and pants (ended up replacing the pants the same week I got them with Allagan pants...).

Now I'm gearing up my tank, I still see a lot of BLM gear, however I see a lot of Healer gear too. In fact, last CT run I did we had a healer drop from the first 3 bosses because they all got gear. First time I'd seen that happen.

Did like 12 CT this week about 40% MNK drops, 20% BRD, 20% Caster, 15% Healer, 5% DRG and not a single tank item dropped (although I only wanted pants for my WAR)

It drops what you don't need. It has a mechanism to do this.

So much gear is just trashed because nobody needs it.

I wonder if a shared Alliance loot pool would be better...

I did a run last week and a member said while we were still in the shield at start what each boss would drop by name and finished with "thank you for the commendations at the end". He was 100% correct on every drop and got my commendation.

Yea....RNG is RNG. Meanwhile they have already had a bug with coil drops, and a bug with dungeons being selected in low level roulette. But yea, nothing can possibly be wrong. RNG is RNG is the beginning and the end of the discussion with too many people. No one wants to admit when they see a problem.

Would you rather just run CT once a week and not get any gear at all? This could be a viable option too so that you don't have to run CT 20 times a week, but instead, once.

After previously playing MMOs that only allowed one run per week which usually didn't drop my class's specific item, I honestly like this system. Sure, I understand it gets frustrating, but it's even worse when you have to wait a week before getting another attempt at seeing what drops.

This annoys me too as I see an unusually large proportion of Dragoon and Monk gear drop. When you really think about it the caster dps, healing and tank gear should be the most common as they encompass two classes each with the other sets being less frequent. This is definitely not the case as my stats will show. (see next post)

Its pure randomness i believe

I run it for 20x times, and get all my warrior i80 gear, meanwhile very few i see any dragoon drop (just1-2 times).

But in other end, i see many caster and healer stuff. I have 1 run that all of them are caster stuff, and believe it or not. I did 3 run in a row, and on all 3 i see royal vest lol

Its pure luck dude, go meet with some shaman or something to increase your luck before going to CT

On my end also, have very bad luck in ultima. run it for 30 times already, never see choker of fending
