I have won nearly 100 matches against multiple new NPCs and all I have gotten is a Galicat card (1 star). Have others gotten any other new cards from the new NPCs? or do I just have the worst luck in the world?
At this point, I'm starting to doubt their existence...:(
So...about those new card drop rates

Card drops do seem quite low.
Though don't take my word for too much. I have abnormally bad luck in this game. -

Only cards I've gotten are from trials or dungeons (Griffin and Bismarck currently). No luck with any of the new npcs.

The tradeoff for a low drop rate is due to the fact that you don't lose any cards when you lose a game a'la ff8.

The drop rates from new NPCs is so horrendous, I'm not even sure if some of them have cards to drop. Thank goodness there are websites with that data, so I don't have to play the game to find out. Hmm. -
07-01-2015, 03:21 AMCookieCakesOld NPCs' drop rates aren't close to being this low, with the exception of select 4/5 star cards. But trying to get even a 2 or 3 star card with the new NPCs seem nearly impossible nowQuote:

The Drop Rate I felt like it was lower then 2.x I've farmed all the 3.0 cards now except Bismark so far. Most of the time it took a couple windows of almost fully winning the matches before I got the cards. I know Aymeric took me almost a full day alone to farm when Uldah was on Reverse making the NPC that dropped him very easy to win against.
I don't mind the lower % when it's only 20 new cards with about half of them only obtainable from NPCs compared to the larger quantity of 80 when it was first released -

I can deal with the low drop rates, I however can NOT deal with the rotation times in which some NPCs will even play you ontop of their stupid random/chaos rules.

I have pretty all the cards from the new expansion and the npcs. And even after the 90+ cards achievement, you still can't use full 4* cards on your deck.
It's completely useless to have the new cards. Don't waste your time with it... It's only for completion. -
07-01-2015, 09:55 AMUBERHAXEDShumi village (where the draw point for ultima is) has random region rule. No not a random region rule, the rule "random". Yeah...Quote:

that f**ker in shire is so unbeatable with random cards...only managed to win once with a lucky plus rule (which is random too).

07-01-2015, 10:37 AMGunspecYeah, but at that point you can covert all of your low rank, non-unique cards into items and plow through people with nothing but summons and main characters.Quote:
