Horrible drop rate for primal falcons

I was just curious if everyone was having as bad luck as I am with the new bird whistles. Back in the day, you could only estimate the drop rates, as tokens/fragments did not exist.

However, now that we have primal tokens dropping with every win, we have a very real way to calculate how many you have done.

Personally, since the patch, I have done 33 Bismarck EX and 70 Ravana EX and seen 2 whistles (both from Bismarck). IMO, it's pretty ridiculous to have beat these fights 103 times to see 2 whistles.

You could also just keep count.
The current drop rates seem much like the drop rates from when the primal horses were first introduced.

iirc, the original pony drop rate was around 1%-2% so this seems about right for the falcon drop rate. Items like these are supposed to be rare and after enough time, SE will most likely raise the drop rates just like they did with the ponies.

Am I the only one who wishes you could turn those hive/expanse tokens in for a falcon instead of hoping that RNG is on your side?

Yes, I could have kept manual track of the old primals. However, I am not that anal. I'm just saying now it is incredibly simple to keep track of this.

No, you're not the only one. Even if it were 99 tokens, I would be fine with it.

Currently at... 6 of 60ish?

The Point!

Get people to do Old content Many Many times so people that never did it get a chance to do it!
Ones People have cleared it who never did. Drop rate increase because not as many people need clear.

What? Did you expect it to be an easy drop rate?

I'd bother trying to get at least one, but as it stands it's hard to get motivated when you know that they're going to be increased to a drop rate of 10-20%. I'll farm them around that time, I guess.
