My boyfriend's bane was Haukke HM. He was about to hit 41 runs before finally getting his voidweave drop. Glad he got it. We were both getting sick of that darn place :P

Ya i just got my pharos one took me over 30 just to get it. Many of them i got 1/1 some me and my gf got 1/1 at the same time because we doing it together.

In all honesty I earned enough soldiery for all 4 spring waters right around the same time I got my 16th drop.

It may seem daunting, but every long drop is balanced with short drops, ending with most everybody spending roughly the same average time on this weapon tier.

RNG is karma, and karma is a bitch. We all deal with it in similar ways, and are rewarded in similar ways.

I ended up with about a 20% average drop rate. Not too shabby. By the time I got my last rng drop, I was about 800 soldiery shy of my last spring water.

Didn't count my runs. Why bother? I think counting only makes you frustrated. What I did was just watch some movies while running dungeons. Really wasn't too bad.
After getting all tomes I had to grind for almost 2k sol. Not bad at all.
Compared to nexus light farming this step was easy and relaxing.

SE doesn't give their numbers used for drops. When many players come together and record information such as this, it allows us to fill in the gaps left by SE. For example, when Atma was first added people were able to determine that the drop rate was abysmally low (something like 2% at the time, higher now). Not only does this help others know what they are getting into, but can save some people the hassle of even attempting it if they already play with restricted hours (2-3 a week) and need to know which time-sinks are remotely doable.

Yes it's frustrating, but we do it for the sake of the community \o/

I ended my Zodiac quest, and thinking about it I got pretty lucky with drops....

I got most of the drops on my first run in the dungeons...
the exceptions were Quarn HM/ Aurum Vale (5 or 6 runs), Brayflox HM (10 runs) and Pharos (20 runs)

while farming dungeons I met people that did Hullbreaker isle like 66 times without drop xD

Things are starting to pik up for me. Went 2 of 3 the other day. I just might finish this quest a second time. Not looking foward to doing a 3rd one....

I've been relatively lucky until I got to Qarn, 0/23, and the more you want to get this silly relic quest done so that you can start doing other stuff without worrying about anything else (gathering, crafting etc.), the more the RNG trolls you. I freaking take any day of the week Novus, Nexus and Animus over stupid Atma and this bs. There's nothing I hate more than not knowing if I'm gonna have to do a dungeon once or 25 times, no, just NO.

does anyone know if you can run a dungeon like DD with a lvl 45 class and still get the drop or does the class have to be lvl 50 for this to drop? i only read you can get it as a different class but i never said that this class was below lvl 50 anywere. for example if i run dd as a lvl 45 pld will i be able to get the zodiac drop for my WAR or not because not lvl 50 class?

You can run the Df as anything. The only thing that matters is that you have the quest active. One thing I noticed about this quest is make sure to check the last boss room on the map, if the room is colored red....this quest is active.
