11 hours in World of Darkness farming Cerberus for the Demon Chestpiece of Scouting...
Did it over 40 times...
Many wipes and insults...
Lose the only drop to a noob ninja while seeing a bunch of people in town who got it in 1 run.
I want to cut myself.
Am I all alone?
I am dead inside...

Welcome to the wond'rous world of RNG.
But really - do take a break. From the game in general. Take a shower, grab a tea or a bite to eat, get some sleep. Start over again refreshed. Clear to see you want that thing, but it ain't worth turning into a braindead zombie for, I'm sure. It's not gonna be removed from the game, dw. ^^ -

Well, kinda lol. There isn't much in the WoD that is good for BLMs, but I got the Skirt of Casting (really? A skirt?) on the first attempt. I don't mean to illicit any anger but the Ninja piece dropped in my last attempt.

First run though and we were having a rough time 80% new people, self included, and someone who's been face planting the whole dungeon complains that its all the tanks faults XD (that run 2 wipes, 0 wipes, 1 wipe). Pretty sure when we die to CoD's stacks from lack of dps that you shouldn't pawn that death off on your tank XD (those clouds and uh worms were not all our fault). Trying to enjoy the "new" atmosphere is hard sometimes, wanted to punt him off the Cloud of Darkness arena - being new and all.
As for rolling on items, go tank, all loots belong to you :P.
Don't get down though, farm the other cute contents while you let your battery recharge on this one. Go get Kirin ~~ lol -

Don't do this.
Don't ever do this.
A piece of loot that you have absolutely zero direct control over obtaining is never worth it. There will be other times when you aren't feeling burnt out, and sooner or later there'll be a point where WoD loot no longer has a lockout.
Just do not ever do this to yourself. Sorry you had to learn it this way. -

So your average WoD runs only last 15 mins or so? You got a good team there.

I have done that twice. Once on T1 for the Heavy Allagan Chest piece...that NEVER dropped for me until a week after it was put into DF, the second in LoTA when I was hunting the Caster body becuase T2 was being a b*tch a$$.
It hurt my brains a bit. Took a lot of time. Could have been doing other things.
Now I run a few times to see if I get a chance at a drop I can use. If not I press on to something else. Got a whole week to get it, so I pace myself.
Good luck to you though, I hope you get it soon! -

WoD gear is trash get gud

Have been lucky on my first run, we were 2 Ninja but the 2nd one did not want it as he already had a 120 Chest so I got it right away. I don't expect to have that luck all the time so I might end up doing the same for the pants next week :D

Ah the wondrous desire sensor. Many people have tried to tame this beast. I have not seen a single person actually do so.
-
01-21-2015, 06:34 PMNargaHuntress
Ive done it about 5-7 times? Havent seen the tank chest peice yet. BUT! I did win the WoD minion! Its so fking kawaii. So it makes up for my bad rng i guess. But in those runs no chest peices dropped just tassets and panties.

01-21-2015, 06:43 PMHito-ShuraJoin a game in progress, stay for Cerberus, kill it, leave. 10 minutes at best without wipes. Easiest boss of the instanced if explained correctly.Quote:

After running ST for about 30 times looking for Amon's Coat, I only saw it drop once and I lost the roll against a BRD with the Unfinished Artemis Bow, quest AF and a bunch of Tank accessories. I didn't even want to run it as another job in case it dropped
When I finally gave up and went for the first time as another job, it dropped. I got so mad that it did, but I rolled greed anyway and got 14, but I ended up with it because everyone else passed on it. -

The way I approach ct/st/wod for gear I want is basically - from reset day to end of the friday I will fish for an item I want(and that doesn't meant farming it - I'll do one or two with FC then go do something else). If by end of friday I don't see it - on saturday I'll run it and grab the first piece of loot I can use - or want.
It has proven to be a decent sanity keeper. -

So you the new patch came out and instead of enjoying the new content you spend 11 hours farming one boss for a silly chest piece. I don't feel sorry for you. At all.
And after reading this quote I feel strangely satisfied that you got your drop stolen by some newb. Seriously, you got what you deserve.Quote:

In my first run it dropped 2 BLM items. I was the only BLM in the alliance and there wasn't any summoner.

What sukks about the dual gear drops is you cen onry has one! Other either falls into greedy hands or it's "Happy birthday to tha ground!"

01-21-2015, 11:57 PMWerhuskyErm... no! Dem crits on healgear D:Quote:

Wouldnt do that ever again. Ill just do 3-4 runs "farming" and if no luck ill just hope my greedyness gives me a nice piece for offclasses :D -
01-22-2015, 12:32 AMCYoung187
This is why I never farm these for 1 specific drop. Just asking for a nightmare.

All the tanks in my FC want the body, but when we went in for the first time, the tank rolled on the first tank gear that dropped, which happened to be gloves. The monk and I, who alt tank, both rolled on the tank body when it dropped and I rolled better. It's a nice upgrade for me since I was wearing 110 body still.

No piece of loot is worth doing WoD for 11 hours.
-
01-22-2015, 02:37 AMDonarudoWhile I understand your frustration, is it fair to blame the "noob" ninja as it were for winning. Again I understand your 40 attempts, and no this is not a troll but the noob ninja thing was not needed. Frankly it was the first day of patch and everybody regardless of how many times they ran it has just as much right to the loot system. To the wipes and insults, shame on the people who were insulting you. My apologies if I seem short with this posting.Quote:

It's literally Day 2 of the patch. If you're trying to get the item as an upgrade for your gear, you'll find it much easier to use Poetics. There's very little difference stat wise between the two pieces. In terms of glamour though, you should know that in a few weeks, these pieces will be the type of gear that ends up being left behind since no one wants to roll on a piece of gear when the poetic version is the one you need in order to upgrade to item level 125.
-
01-22-2015, 04:35 AMofTheMooresYou should know that your chances of getting a drop like this are exactly inversely proportionate to how bad you want it.Quote:

Ah, there's someone I never expected to see on the boards.
Anyway, I sorta know the feeling. I passed on good loot during my first two runs thinking "nah I can get something better" and now nothing's showing up at all that I would even use and I kind of want to be doing other things than World of Darkness @_@ -

can i see you use this and still manage to meet the ACC requirement in T13? -
01-22-2015, 11:46 AMZhycranaDranix
Coil gear is superior but hey its a one week boost right ?
Its something less you don't have to spend your poetics on right ?
Its damn good compared to recent CT drops?
Hell I have dreadwyrm tonban and that +44 crit and +22 det on the Healers pants was calling my SCHs name
Its all about perspective and which build you are......MND>CRIT is my motto now so I didn't take it
but I know some SCHs who have dumped their ironworks Pants/Gloves for WoD gear -

It's not just RNG of the item dropping... You also have to pray to RNG that you win the roll.
Unless your Class is all alone that you get all the loot.. you hav to pray TWICE to the RNG gods -.- lol! -
01-22-2015, 12:10 PMYmal
Call me a jerk but I do not feel sorry for OP considering the way he did it. I'm glad RNGesus didn't answer your call.
MEANWHILE I got my MNK chest on my first run, and the other MNK that joined before the last boss passed on it. It was also the best run ever. woo (y) -
