Increase the drop rate of the minions and the parasol. Nobody wants to farm this for forever. The drop rates are abysmal. Variant content is dead after 1 day unlocking all paths. Or make the items that drop from the Variant for purchase from the shards, I've so many and they are completely useless once you buy everything from the vendor. 50 for minions and fashion accessory, 25 for housing items and crafting mat. That's it. Thank you and good night.

You can get all those things from the market board. They are not that expensive. I got 4 minions (2 duplicates which I sold and bought Kuromaru which was the one I was missing) and 2 decos drop during my clear of the 12 paths. Minion drops are not as abysmal as they were in the previous variant dungeon nor as some regular dungeons.

A minion costs 2 million gil. I've seen one minion and 2 housing items drop in all my 40 runs so far. Speak for yourself.

There’s only one minion close to 2mil on your DC. The others items you mention are between 150k and 250k. Not a big deal. It doesn’t take long to make that amount of gil. There are minions far more expensive than that. You can just buy the gear with your tokens and sell it and use the gil for the minions you want.

Why would I pay 2 million gil for a minion when Square could just make the drop rates human? Your argument is void and null. Basically boils down to - get money buy stuff. No I want the drop rates to be normal.

The content isn't dead as long as people still have things they want to get from it.

Increase the drop rates of the items that people value and then it will be dead that much faster.

That’s how the game and rng works. Drop rates are normal if you looks at drop rates from some other dungeons/maps (like the mini troll which cannot even be bought). That what gils are for. It’s not even real money. Like I said trade gear and exchange the proceeds for the minions. You are not making any sense. There’s different ways to get the minions, be pro active.


Also variant dungeons are easily soloable on all jobs (I soloed my clear of the 12 paths and used a different jobs for each one). So the dead argument doesn’t work.

That's the only reason it's not dead lol. Because they drop rates are so low you have to suffer mindlessly thrashing same 5 packs or trash mobs and 2 bosses over and over and over again.

Nobody was talking that it's not soloable. I'm soloing all my runs anyway. Maybe Square should be the ones pro-active and not make drop rates garbage so I can spend my gil on stuff that's actually a pain to get like mounts from HoH or PotD etc and not just mindless 20 minute grind in perpetuity because they decided to make drop rates stupid low.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to buy the pets or other things with the tokens, i have done all paths once and the last boss one more time for the card and dont feel like i want to go in there again, the costumes look bad and aren't worth my time.
