Improving your chance of getting a T3 drop?

[MonsieurVerde]

They only drop on a certain moon, with certain weather and your entire party must be facing the same direction. >_>

Spin around three times tap your nose twice and /shout "Castle!" approximately 3 seconds before the final mob dies.

ok... Linking seems to increase the "level" of the chest
Which does seem to increase the chance for drops
This will be argued, obviously, and honestly it's not at all proven (Really tough to test actually)
But take it from someone who has gotten over 10 runes (Without using the former exploit)

There is a dev post that states that leve linking increases the chance for higher level chests in leves
Higher level (i.e. better looking) chests yield better loot
This seems to also hold true for the big runestone chests
Normally, people who don't have the leve get 2 crystals, but if the chest is the best looking one, everyone who doesn't have the leve gets 5 to 10 crystals and the people who did have the leve all got runes from those fancy chests...

Can you post about the dev post? I have some unbelievers to deal with.

There's a rumor that linking factions increases drop rate, but ionno how solid that is.

Q. I saw a treasure chest while I was out doing a regional levequest! Is there always a treasure chest somewhere on a levequest!?
A. While on a regional levequest, treasure chests may appear based on the levequest location, but there is no guarantee. The chances of a treasure chest appearing, however, may be increased through leve linking.* Upon opening these chests,** players will be rewarded with gil and, in rare instances, items. Should a chest be opened by a player in a party, gil will be automatically split and distributed to party members on the levequest, while items will be placed in a random member’s loot list.

The only thing is those chest are not the ones that drop after killing the NM on your T3 Faction Leves. Those are just random chest on regular Guild Leves.

Faction, guildleve and gathering leves all count as "regional" and the more leve links you have, the chest becomes higher quality

Their talking about the regular chest that appear on a GL. It has nothing to do with the T3 faction leves Boss chest you get after killing the NM. You can get one of those regular chest on a T3 faction leve but again thats not what the O.P. was asking about.

The faction guildleve chest seems to be increased by linking.... you can get runes with no links... but I really feel like linking increases the chest quality and therefore the drop... I've only gotten 12 runes up to this point though
