Ok so some people probably don't care but the drop ratio for BM Robe is ridiculous.
I can say I've done brayflox about 40 times and seen this drop only 3 times, there must be some bug with the chance of drop for this item or something.
Can we please have this looked into again as some of us would like to complete our sets of gear.
Try more. 40 is nothing :D
I've done AK around 60 times and haven't not seen Demagogue Ring drop even once :<
That's just a side note though. Dat damn AK got ridiculous rate of DoW vs DoM wherein from my experience DoW things drop way more frequently
1/1 BM Robe
3/7 ish total.
But that's my point though.. Why should a mage try 60-100 times when a tank can go into brayflox and get what they need in only a couple of runs.
I've had war drops from all bosses in a single run but never the other way around.
60 runs X say 40 minutes each is a ridiculous amount of time wasted trying to get a certain item, while war classes can complete there set in under half the runs we do.
It might make some people feel good to brag about how many runs they had to do but in reality we are just wasting a lot of time when the drop balance could be improved.
I've done this run several times as a WHM and I managed to get all the gear I needed after only 4 runs.
I think the calculation might have more to do with actually "needing" the item by a party member, as there was at least one run where nothing but tank gear dropped and the party was all magic users except for the tank, but they were all synced except me.
If you actually saw it drop 3 times in the 40 runs, you are getting some really good drop rates. I usually get somewhere between 3-5 tank drops and maybe 1-2 other types of drops in any and all instances I have run in this game so far. I think the best run we ever had was 3 tank drops and 3 healer/dps drops. :D
Gave up and moved on
1/1 BM robe here...
Random Number generator is random (or rather, pseudorandom).
Not getting the drop you want is not a bug.
Greetings all,
We appreciate you taking the time to report this trouble you are having to us. However, since this sounds like Items, Synthesis, and Gathering rather than a bug report, I will be closing this particular thread. We welcome you to post about this concern in the "Items, Synthesis, and Gathering" forums in order to discuss changes you would like to see done to the game. Thank you!
Regards,
