Everyone has DRG and tank body as Tails reward?

I thought they were supposed to be randomized, not the same gear for all characters in all worlds.

I don't think they ever specified the rewards being randomized for everyone, just the objectives.

Looks like it's Hunts all over again, everyone got Naul as their weekly when Hunts were implemented.

Does it even matter? You're never going to get 3 lines.

People were saying the same thing about the last Aquapolis room.

I have the same rewards as this on multiple characters and my husband does too. On the post about Queens hair being unfindable, many others have mentioned having the same rewards as well, while the objectives to obtain said rewards are different.

I'm *slightly* exaggerating with never, but even if you manage to shuffle it into an ideal 7-seal board like below you only have an 8% chance to get 3 lines (6/9 spots work for the 8th seal, and then only 1/8 spots work for the last seal, 6/72 = 0.08). Personally I don't feel like the reward is worth the odds.

Obviously you still have to factor in the odds of actually shuffling into a suitable board and then the armor choices have to be something you want...

Yea I noticed that seems like a bad joke.

Even without infinite reshuffles there are a lot of chances to get 3 lines.

can't you buy/sell it?

Everyone get the same reward, but what will be the reward is random every week.

It's unsellable to NPCs, but tradeable and sellable on marketboard.

No he's right, you can buy/sell them.

Yah but what's the point if everyone get the same reward ? ^^"

Maybe I'm not understanding this new weekly but it doesn't look that hard to do everything in one day... The power of Duty Finder, bruh!

I mean one of my mines is just Titan, Ohm... lightning beard dude, Shiva and ... I don't know what that thing is supposed to be? Actually, I don't understand what some of the icons are asking me to do? I think the bottom first one is Ravana... so Like, just do norm / hard and it's done?

.... I'm more confused by the lack of information in the book than this "three row" stuff you guys are talking about. >_>

EDIT: I had extended tool-top info off, my mistake, lmao.

When you complete a duty in the book, it activates a random seal on your 4x4 bingo card. You are only allowed to unlock 9 seals on the card. The more "bingos" you get on your card, the better the reward you get.

Oh I see, that's what you guys are talking about, haha.

You can highlight the pictures and it will say the exact duty it's for.

I'm just grumbly since mine are 4 roulettes.... And then a bunch of EX duties. @.@

I'm figuring out the probability, but I already finished my card for the week. Can anyone tell me if spending Second Chance points lets you acquire more or are you limited to 9 total per week regardless?

You may not but someone on your server will and the whole point is to make a variety of these available. And to have them be worth something when you do win, which won't happen the way it currently is, we'll just get 1 or 2 pieces getting flooded each week.

Still only an 8% chance to get it from one of the possible 7 seal positions, simply because of how the last two seals have to land.

You all got the same thing for the 3-line rewards? I got mine and those were exactly the same rewards available, tank body and dragoon body.

Hope this is just a first week thing.

Likewise, I have neither a tank nor a dragoon that could even use it. I have more than enough Poetics. I don't know if doing 4 EX Primals, 2 Coils, 2 24-man Raids, Frontline, Ultima & Floors 11-20 PoTD plus the rest is worth it time wise.

Everyone can potentially get the same reward. It doesn't mean everyone will.

It's a new set each week. This week is tank and drg, next week is probably something else

id assumed the seals were tied to the duties. so I cleared the 4 things down the left hand side expecting a line and the stickers just got dumped anywhere...

Yup, same rewards as you all have xD

Tank and Drg body for me too.

SE,

srand()

it's a pretty common problem with RNG functions, needs a second loop before seeding works properly

they'll probably hotfix it, though that sucks for people who WANT to aim for drg/tank gear..

i don't think it matters because most people are not expected to get 3 lines.

this is not like Naul when there was a bottleneck with the actual content.

I find it hard to believe we need to remind people this isn't a single player game but here we are. 8% chance means nothing, there are thousands of characters per server so there should be several of these popping up.

And if it was a conscious decision to make this like this most of these will be junk by the time the communal prize choice rolls around to them. So tanks and drgs get first pick of these gears while they're actually useful, then even 4 weeks from now these will be a whole lot less worth it. So it's either a glitch or a terrible idea.

Yeah I play one class, levelling only what I need to for cross class skills. Methinks I will refrain from participating in Onerous Tails :p

You know the 2-line prize is 2 battler tier 5 materia or 1 craft/gather tier 5, and the craft tier 5's have spiked in price right now. Even if the 3-line reward is both unlikely for any specific individual to get (even if/when they fix this problem of everyone having the same reward for it), not participating in this is just crazy talk at this point for either the 1 or 2 line rewards.

I'll do anything that's low-hanging fruit, but honestly having only rolled this char at the end of Jul during the 5 day welcome back promo, my list of things to do in game is already insanely long and there are only so many hours in the day. If it wasn't so heavily reliant on rng and was guaranteed rewards for time investment then maybe, but I need another random grind right now like I need a hole in the head ;)

Thing is though, this stuff is soo fast.

#1. lv 50 dungeon, you're probably doing anyway
#2. lv 60 dungeon, no brainer
#3. lv 15-49 dungeon, do tamtara unsynched, takes like 5 minutes (or just do roulette and level a job and cover this and/or lv 51-59 dungeon)
#4-6 extreme primals. watch pf's, these fights unsynched are a joke
#7-9 coil turns, ditto with ex primals

And your list of things to do isn't that big; everyone pretty much starts new each patch. Average chance of getting 1 line is nearly 50% and that can give you 200 of the new tomes so it's even time saved if you get that, or money made if you do better.

edit: and hey, if you're doing a relic the consolation prize is 500 poetics which is nearly 2 unidentified items.

Same rewards here as well. My wife has it too. So that's fun.

Yours different from mine? 1 line is materia, 2 lines are tomes/MGP.

No, that's the same. 1 line is either 2 mhachi matter or 1 mhachi demimatter, which is a new item for craft/gather tier 5's. Sorry, got em switched up.

On a somewhat related note, does anyone know if the 200 scripts for 2 lines count towards the weekly 450?


I ask because I got 400~ just completing my journal(without even trying) & it is a weird reward for such difficult rng.

You do realize that those are only 24 configurations among more than 11k possibilities?

What is a chance to get three lines if at 7/9 you do reshuffles till you get 2 lines complete? I got 2 lines this week btw.
