A Random Comment

But when do you do such a large amount of crafting? I only when I got a huge amount of low level normal ingredients.

I craft 2* food for sale, usually 1-2 stacks per day.
Dealing with randomness is tough, but the first important thing ppl should know that if a random doesn't cluster good/bad results, it's not a random.

With atma I want to keep this random thing. I don't want guaranteed win, this is about patience and the will to go on.
While very frustrating, I don't want it to change.

I would suggest a general tips with randomness. Make breaks often, change a zone if no drops for a long time, don't let it burn you.

Unless it randomly happens to NOT cluster good/bad results.



Anyway, OP was an interesting read and pretty much confirmed what I already believed to be true about the RNG in this game: Random is random. Nothing is "broken", there are no "tricks" for getting better winning streaks, etc., etc. All such instances are just people spotting momentary patterns.

This post should be stickied to the front page, so every time someone comes up with a harebrained "If you desynth while facing west during sunset you're 10% more likely to get demimateria!1!" theory, we can point them to this post.
