This would be great if ever get my lvl60 roulette to give me a dungeon which has chests. I have gotten The Aetherochemical Research Facility like 75% of time since 3.2.
I noticed crafted level 60 accessories for crafter/gatherer are almost impossible to find because of this absurd restriction.
I have gotten a Moon Silk and seen a Dryad Sap, my FC mate has seen a Raziqcoat, so yes they drop, but in no appreciable quantity.
In the past two weeks of all roulettes every day, I've seen one moonbeam silk drop. Not that I actually got it.
No matter. You need 5 of them to craft anything anyway.
You're better off going to diadem it seems currently lol. Haven't seen one myself.
Another patch, and this is still broken.
Sigh. Do devs even read this? Probably not. They're too busy tweaking PvP and midas savage.
I've gotten at least 3 things from the chests I think. Not really enough to do anything, especially since they were all different, but still, free things!
Regarding Diadem - I've been allowed to use the FC Airship during downtime & have done many duo Diadem gathering runs. To date my total number of Steel Spoils is 3, my colleague got 2. For 20 man hours or so between us a total of 5 spoils is obscene 0.25/hr on average. Ironically, I got my 3 on the first two runs & haven't seen any since. I've not seen them drop from gathered chests or be fished up, just appear randomly, & rarely, during gathering. It's farcical & certainly not worth it.
As a result there's very little available on the market board that requires these ultra-rare items. I managed to buy ALL 16 Relic crafted items for less than the price of the sole Weighted Sledgehammer for sale on Leviathan (5M gil).
You mean the materials used to make the items? You still have to find someone to craft it, or do it yourself and risk getting NQ.
Edit: Ok, relic quest items have literally NOTHING to do with the availability of the items OP mentioned, since they aren't crafted from any of those materials.
This is SE's way of gating end-game crafted DoL/DoH gear, by making the raw materials stupidly difficult and time consuming to obtain, which is the entire point of this thread.
I have seen it in the last chest only. Very low drop rate. Kind of useless given it takes 5 or any of those items to make anything. Guess they are trying hard to keep us hammering away on "favors".
