Crystal Tower loot percentages broken?

Anyone else sick of Monk gear? or just me :P

I don't know because MNK gear are rare for me when it comes to CT loot. It is mostly Healer gears that drop for me.

Likes for both of you.

Nothing but tank and DRG here.

I think your answer is in the first few posts :p

Already a spread of items lol

As monk I see nothing but monk gear. As tank I see nothing but drg...

The loot is to spread out imo...

random is random

The problem is, Behemoth King drops 10 pieces of items! So if you want a specific piece, you have a 10% chance of getting it each run, you need about 6 runs to be 50% likely to have your item drop. At this point you hope you get the best roll =]

3 weeks later I'm still looking for the monk chest, begginning to wonder if it really drops in CT and not somewhere else

Almost always see monk and dragoon stuff. Out of my many runs I have rarely seen tank and healer gear. And to make it worse, I have almost never seen Bard gear! I've only seen it like twice! It's probably "random" but I do think it's possible that their loot percentages are broken. I mean, remember turn 1 dragoon loot? and how one chest only had 4 items, 3 of which were only for dragoons! People make mistakes, maybe they did too? or it's probably fine.

I see MNK and WAR gear most often, but DRG gear appears occasionally for me along with whatever else. It's probably just a matter of perspective. Like someone else said, random is random.

Seems to be working fine to me. Just like the craft rolls in this game, which some people also claim to be broken. It's a simple 1-100 RNG as random as most of those computer generated types get.

Everybody saying they see (insert item type here) drop in overabundance with an absence of anything else is just anecdotal evidence. I suspect that if you put it all together you'd probably see very evenly-spread results.

I do 10-20 CT runs every week to get the piece that i want. Last week i had to take the bard chest instead of the helmet, saw mostly MNK/DRG/PLD/WAR items, finally got it this week after 8 runs.
Please SE, give us at least loots matching classes in the party, i think 90% of the items dropped are going to oblivion.

@Vahlnir : I hate you! your signature made me yawn like 5 times in 30sec!

I see mostly BRD WHM and MNK.

actually no, on your 6th run your chances are still only 10%, an on the 7th, still only 10%

I usually see Healer/Warrior drops.

I don't know why I keep replying to this kind of posts, but I'll give the usual answer : learn probability et simple logic! 10% chance doesn't mean that if you do 10 runs you will see each item once (and exactly once). It means that on millions of runs, the 10% may be more or less true. It is just simple logic! You can't think that "on 10 runs, I didn't saw my item, so it is broken". The logic behind probability is simple, just deal with it!

The fact that you need thousands of runs for any sort of reasonable sample size means that no one can argue one way or the other. Yes, or the other. Remember the Turn 1 Coil loot problem and how everyone defending it was saying the exact same thing (RNG is RNG, long term averages, etc) when there was, in fact, a problem? As someone who majored statistics, my pride won't let me admit the RNG here is stupid

... but the RNG is really stupid.

Lvling Monk and getting Monk pieces before loot is 'fixed'...

99.9999999999999999999999999999999% of the time I see DRG and MNK drops in CT. Last coil run it was all DRG and MNK gear.

DRG and MNK gear...

DRG and MNK...

-.-

I had 3 tank items drop in one ct run - I cried when I needed the first and the other two popped!

Had run around 8 runs and all of them drop DRG and MNK full set

Of course it is, but that's obviously not what he was referring to. The chance of seeing your item drop over a larger number of runs is greater than if you were to only run the event once, despite the fact that the percentage of obtaining it on each individual run remains the same.

Nah, it is biased towards dragoons as always :P

That damn ballad hat haunts me.

Onion is what I see the most. took 6 runs this week to see MNK and it's what I'm currently going after.

I see a lot of MNK, BRD and Caster gear. Going for my Royal Robes it seemed that KB ONLY dropped the Caster Hat and Legs...

Heck, had three BRD in my party once...BRD Feet, Belt, Body and Hat dropped...none of the BRD took anything (tank grabbed the body lol).

I rarely see DRG loot (don't need any, thankfully), and even less Tank or Healer (finally have them all, so probably will see them all the time now >.>) drops...

Let me summarize. Most are going to scream RNG is RNG until SE says something like they did when they had screwed up coil loot, and then half of those who screamed RNG is RNG are going to start saying, "lol yea it was obvious"

That being said, my wife and I seem to see DRG/BLM >> MNK >> Healer >> Bard >> Tank.

If there is a bug or something that has an affect on loot drops, then it is what it is. Hopefully they will fix it. Until that time comes RNG is indeed RNG. Without any official word from SE we are only able to theorize. Is there a common pattern to be seen already? Possibly. But it all depends on who you ask.

I personally have MNK Body/Feet DRG Hands BLM/SMN Body BRD Body; I have personally seen PLD full set, WHM/SCH Body/Hands/Feet, BLM/SMN full set, DRG MNK BRD full set over a two week period..

(We do a lot of CT!)
