Hamlet Seal Drop Rate

is something awful

My LS have been averaging about a 50% drop rate with 60k +. Been getting 6-9 seals per hamlet day without a provisioner

Like some hardcores say ( they say they aren't but I beg to differ sometimes) "If you can't get 60k runs, you won;t even finish the quest" The Nerve! /shakeswrist XD

You will never get a relic if hamlet seals is the steps you are whining about.

They're not relics. They're glorified AF weapons that'll be obsolete in another year.

Exactly.

"These aren't relics! Relics were rarer and harder to get in XI"

News Flash, the term "Relic" is different between the games.

not sure if it's just our own personal luck, but we've only really been having problems with golden bazaar. steady 61-67k runs and about 15-20% seal drop rate

We're not 50% on our runs more closer to 33%...

Still not "awful".

must totally be luck of the draw, then. we finished aleport in like a week because the drop rate seemed almost 100% for us.

:(

Youre all missing the bigger picture, hamlet gives you time to bond with your linkshell.

As all that is good.. still doesn't excuse the Random luck thing.. for some people its easy and for some people it feels nearly impossible.. it really needs to be one flat %.. because the way I'm hearing from everyone its near 100% at one point and then its 10-20% the next... /shrug

Except therr is a choice for flat percentage

Top one provision is 100%, if.you dont want random luck, you can go with 100% droprate. They gave you choice, not SE's fault that you are poor and unable to buy supplies or too lazy to gather yourself.

i just want my purplez, ffxivbros

Next year the Relics will be "Upgraded" As per Yoshi-P said.

- Top 1 Provisoner out of the whole server? Get real
- It's not my Fault the Drop Percentage is all over the place
- Provisoner crap is annoying make it 1 flat percentage even if its 20% everywhere at least some people won't feel like they will never get this done
- You sound like an Elitist with that cocky attitude

And yyou sound like a whiner that doesnt want to work for your sstuff even when the choice is laid out for you.

And hear you are on the forums responding to one? ( Though I'm not a whine just stating how I feel like anyone else on the forums) but you personally are attacking me.. so I'm only defending myself, anything else you like to say to me Elitist?

I guess It's just different for peoples 0.0 Been doing 66k Hamlet all the time for hours and only 1 dropped :D Well, not a problem though, makes me happier when I get them!

No, but good luck on trying getting relic you probably will never get if you are attempting to get one.

None of the other steps suffer from RNG bullshit as much as this one step. We've been dedicating 5-6 hours a night and pulling 60k runs for the past month or so. Most of us are still below 4/9. One guy is at 6/9. It's bad, but completely doable.

You can actually buy the doublemelds though. There is that RNG factor, but you can completely ignore it.

And of course , thats the ONLY reason why the prices are so Ridiculous.. they were half the price before this quest... Supply and demand right? ~.~

And you can buy HQ supplies completely bypassing the RNG.

You are not guaranteed a seal by being anywhere in the top 20. Your chances are just increased.

Top 4-20 doesnt give you seal at all and its high percentage for top 3, top 3 is what i am referring to.

You're still not guaranteed a seal by being in the top 3.

As what i knew you will get 100% seal from Captain if you are top 1. Top 2 n Top 3 would be lower chance.

eh i hope you are not ggonna bring up how.you can go 1/200 with 50% droprate like the double melds thread, that was a pure garbage arguments ffrom people that never really attempts them and just eyeball crap.

My LS has gotten a total of 104 seals so far. Overall we've done around 200 runs (less if you don't count 60k- runs, since we've had a few hiccup runs and from before the 60k chest). Personally, the drop rate isn't that bad. I think after doing that many runs we've been able to calculate the amount of seals we expect per hamlet event. That and most people leave with something by the time we finish.

with provisioner averaging 2, most i think was 5 seals. its shocking & the worse part is you only need them once but people keep hording! & not passing on. (linkshell hamlets so far have been the only fair way to get them but chances you'll get one are slim even then)

My linkshell just reached Ifrit Extreme after finishing 6 relic Faction Leves for 7 people.

17 minute Cutter's Cry and Aurum Vale will be a brick wall for most players but these two hurdles are honestly child's play compared to some of, if not all of, the relic faction leves, which, quite frankly, will be the end of the road for 99% of the people currently wanting a relic weapon on this forum. If you want a skill check, you have it. We've done the DRG, WHM, BLM, WAR, BRD and PLD fights. Some are, at least now, far more challenging and demanding than both the easy darklight dungeons. Even with quad-meld Black Mages and triple meld/Darklight DD's, some we completed with literally only seconds (one time ONE second) to spare. In all honesty, unless something changes or someone discovers and posts strats more efficient than the ones we used to proceed for our first relic wave i'm going to declare the relic quest completely unbeatable for the average Ul'dah loiterer (which is how it should be). And this is to say nothing of Ifrit (Extreme) which, according to what I saw in the handful of trial runs we ran last night, makes Garuda look like a marmot squirrel.

This is the best content and quest line released in this game to date. Very impressed and my hat is off to SE for finally releasing content that will test people.

Dem's fightin' words. The interesting thing about gaming is that many players will rise to a higher standard of game play. This is my first FFMMO and my first MMORPG of this kind. If you had seen me say 6 months ago, you probably would have written me off too.
