Seriously. I don't even have my fourth weapon and I have done over 150 FATES
I have 75 medallions, and every pet, which requires 77 medallions.
So that's 152 FATES done trying to get Legendaries.
I always triple check to be sure my bracelet is on, my proper minion is out, and I am in the proper area.
I got 40 Legendary medals out of 152 FATES.
Lemmy repeat that.
So that's 40 Legendary medals I have gotten out of 152 FATES.
That's a 26.3157894737% drop rate.
Round down to 26%
To get EVERY weapon, you need 288 Legendary Medals.
If 26% is the common drop rate, then you need to do
1,108 FATES
Let me repeat that:
If 26% is the common drop rate, then you need to do 1,108 FATES to get every weapon.
This is a bit excessive, Square Enix. Seriously!

Bracelet only means you get the token for a minion from a fate, it makes 0 difference on the dropping of a legendary token ><

08-27-2016, 10:07 AMAkisohidaI thought you needed the bracelet to get a Legendary at all?Quote:

Still, that does not change the numbers' 1,108 FATES is a stupid amount to have to do. -

Yeah only need watch for medals. Only need minion for legendary medals. I think about 700 fates is where a lot of people seem to finish. 1,000 would be more on the unlucky side. I know it's still long no matter what. Can be spaced out since we have over one month more time for the event.

The RNG for it is really poor. I was in a party and the other person easily got more legendary medal drops than I did. Out of 20 fates, they got about 8 medals while I got 3.

I've got every weapon. I did fates with my girlfriend. Legendary medals dropped for me much faster. I was done with most of my weapons before she had hers, and we did the exact same fates with the exact same minion.
It's pure RNG. I didn't keep the watch on to tally up all my fates but for the two I did in upper la noscea using beast tribe fates I had about 90 beast tribe medallions, so about 33% drop rate. -

I have done to much Fates....and grind to much medals....and this RNG is.... he better dont move my way!
The droprate could have been higher.....maybe for the next event Yoshi is planning xD
Maybe yo can sell the yokai weapons/mounts in the Mogryshop or in game, like the other eventstuff. -
10-03-2016, 10:26 PMplatorepublicI don't get how when people say something like this, RNG is poor. Do people even know what random means? Out of 20? Come back when you have a larger sample size.Quote:

To get all the weapons you need circa 800 FATEs ±75.

Everyone who has completed it has reported around 800ish fates. That seems to the average. Not 1000+
Still. It was a tough but they gave people 2 months and you could use it to level other jobs and work towards the fate achievements in your log. Some fates even give items for beastman tribes for free materia you can trade it. Plus all the gc points.
Im not saying I would want it again - but you if you are smart, you could make it be very beneficial. -

I call BS on 800 claim. The two in OLN, people there ALL DAY lucky to get 3-4 medals p/hr. Terrible drop rate % for 30 medals. Lower quantities weren't as bad as 30. Three times. Each.
I also call BS on "leveiing other jobs", sure I have non-60 jobs, tons of players are max 60 on all, what's their "bonus reward" for doing that many FATEs for no exp? This event was an insult/disregard to players.
I started *on day one*, last 3 took *as long as entire event combined*, still didn't finish. Finally cleared USAp after roughly 7-8hrs of repeating 2 FATEs one after another, barely 15 of Noko's and *zero* Bliz. 20? Sure. But 30 is ridiculous.
Objectively unoriginal tedious "event". Plenty of others were better. FFXIII's was leagues ahead, plus actually fun unique FATEs.
FYI, I'm studying game design. This isn't good design. Have players find certain landmarks, seek out wild Yokai/weapons (actually learn about them), give something to DO, don't rehash old FATEs. -

Cry me a river. The event is over, I have my weapons & mount, I managed to level one job to 50 & I did it in around 800 FATEs. Sorry 'bout it Felicia.
-
10-07-2016, 11:50 PMAlberelWhilst I won't disagree on the issue of tedium and poor design, 800 FATEs is actually higher than the average. I personally completed it with around 750 and most I farmed with were around the same. Barring outliers 800 FATEs is actually rather high.Quote:

10-08-2016, 11:31 AMTintFF12 had such a system, were the drop rates increased if you killed monsteres of the same type in a row. i would like to see something like that. like drop rates of the medals increase when you finish fates in the same area.Quote:
