Over 240 maps and no blue bird.

[Delsus]

You need to sacrifice a lalafell in the name of RNJesus to get one.

I got two bluebirds after 5 maps.

Do you hate me.

[Nel_Celestine]

my FC does Pieste skin maps as a weekly event (so around 50-60 maps a week) and we have been doing so since 2.1 as well.

One.

We have seen only ONE blue bird. (which is mine )
But yea, I can speak for my FC when I say we agree the drop rate of the bird is stupid low.

Same stupidity we have on some achivements - 500 S rank hunts - seriously?

Achievements are supposed to be long term target. What's the point of that if you can achieve in short while?

You even forgot about more obnoxious ones, like getting 10 million gils from levequest. lol

I don't think I've hit 1 million gil from leves yet XD
10 million seems really far away... sort of wondering how many leves it would take minimum if you only do like triple-turnin crafting leves.

[Taruranto]

So you got 5m worth for map but aren't willing to spend 2m for a minion?

at least the 100 million gil achievements from 1.0 are gone and archived now. So that should be a bit relieve. lol

Don't know about you, but running Peiste with four players, you should make your money back every round (4 x maps). When you include the chance of an Unhidden, it's definitely positive income, even more so if you take 5 minutes to farm them yourself.

Peiste maps must be really cheap in your server, here they wander around 30k, pretty hard to get your money back unless you get lucky.

But where I'm getting at is, if the income is positive then OP got enough gil from those maps to buy the minion directly, if the income is negative then OP should consider selling the maps instead and buying the minion directly.

I understand the bigger picture and I agree that it's ridiculous to keep vanity gated behind an RNG based grind wall, but for OP's specific case I think it's time to make use of the marketboard, at least this vanity item is tradeable, unlike others.

Just out of interest, what's the minimum amount of people (Lvl 50) needed to defeat Peisteskin map mobs? I was in a group of 4 and they went down real easy, especially the unhidden map mobs. I find it hard to get a treasure hunt group together so was wondering how few people needed.

If its that rare, then STOP the restriction to get only one map a day!

You must be joking. Limiting the maps is part of HOW they make it rare. Not to mention, the minions are a bonus. As for the achievement, it's a long term goal. Key words, Long Term. It's not intended to be completed in just a few months. So, yes, "seriously".

Took me several peisteskin maps to get my blue bird. Even saw several drops of them during my 2.2 TH parties.

On the other hand... the Tiny Bulb from boarskin took me around 6 months till I finally got one.

RNG s da beatch! lol

You mean Toadskin.
