Gaganaskin Maps

I have a question for anyone who has used these. I have gotten one per day since I reach about lvl 65 and all except for ONE item they have all been NQ.

Is this the usual or have I just been extraordinarily unlucky in the drops?

Maps are always nq anyway.

No, I was referring to the drops from the maps.

You have been unlucky I guess. Got plenty of HQ's myself

Thanks Aelia good to know - there's hope for me yet :)

Honestly, I feel like this time around the maps aren't giving us the desired outcome that it was in Heavensward. I have a group that runs maps frequently and though the payout hasn't been horrible it has yet to be really worth not selling the map and making gil that way. The price that the maps are going for on our servers AH seems to be fairly good and the amount of drops or even the drops we are getting doesn't seem to be worth it. Pretty disappointing so far.

Ok have done the Gaganaskin maps everyday since my initial post. EVERY SINGLE drop was NQ. The difference bw SB and HW maps is stark. Agree that they are definitely not worth doing atm until they fix the loot table.

I haven't done any Gaganskin but last night did my first bunch of Gazelleskin (3 of them).

One did give a portal to Uznair and we made it to the 5th or 6th floor.

However, I was fairly frustrated to get next to nothing myself as the map owner while all of the drops (minus literally two cheap items) went to everyone else.

Yup would be nice if they introduced a ML or roll system for ALL of the loot - it's been my experience that as the map owner I frequently get screwed.

The last 2 gagana maps i did both had individual hq mats mixed in with assorted nq ones. So theyre on the table, theyre just fairly uncommon.

Yep, I quite literally got two different single ingots (high steel and some teal blue ingot) that were less than 3,000 gil each while my FC mates got cracked clusters, tier V and one tier VI materia. One even won the new elephant lamp worth 800,000.

The MAPs group I am usually a part of uses a different set of rules than most. Map owner only gets floor 7 chests guaranteed, all other chests along the way are FFA. This way fewer map owners with "unlucky" RNG are disappointed. We stay together longer and run more maps as a result.
