Why is Coil so Cruel?

[Syhrwyb]

My group and I clear turns 6 and 7 just as well as the next, but I never get anything. It's starting to make me think of just quitting coil altogether. Why should I bother to continue with the current lockout system?

[GuiltyBoomerang]

In all honesty, it's a matter of luck. I remember I started getting into the First Coil a couple of months after a few of my buddies, and in my third week doing it I got the Tunic of Healing. They had been trying since the start to get it and still hadn't, and they rightly hated my so-called luck/RNG!

It all depends on whether you feel you have enough to do outside of Coil or not :-)

I haven't got a single drop for my main from The Second Coil of Bahamut so far. Is that annoying? Yes. Does that mean I should cry about it on the forums? No.


The only way around this is to go back to a 'token' based system like 1.23, which would be MUCH more horrendous as the drop-rate for those was atrocious, you had even less chance of getting an item than you do now.

If you haven't gotten anything from coil and your group can down T7/T8 you should really workout how everyone rolls on the tombstone and oil/sand... With a dedicated drop rate, you guys should be fair and take turns rolling on those items. Our static did it this way: People who get the tombstone are people without T5 weapon or animus > people without animus > people with animus. Once you clear T8 it will be the same if people already have novus. As for the oil/sand... if you get it once, you have to wait until everyone else gets one before you can roll again. This will probably be the same setup until we can clear t9. Not saying this is perfect but it works. Oh and if a person gets an actual item drop from T7/T8... they cant roll on the oil/sand for that run either.

Re-read what I wrote, don't skim over things.

I said very clearly; "I haven't got a single drop for my main"

I main Caster, the healing earrings were free-lot, as both our healers have them, and I can backup heal when necessary.


So far I've received one piece of gear I will actually use (I got a monk head free-lot which probably won't be used, regret rolling on that actually).


My point remains, you could go maybe four months without seeing a single drop for your main job in coil, it's just the luck of the draw (thankfully the oil/sands system helps a bit).
