Please SE fix your drop rates....

[Ketsufuma]

I have been running ST Non stop for the past 7 days.... not a single tank drop... i understand RNG is RNG but days with about 10-12 runs a day... and NOTHING FOR TANKS? I have missed out on a weeks worth of drops so i can try to gear out my warrior for coil...but 7 days of not dropping a single belt or boots or chest or legs or headpiece... seriously what the heck is going on here? I have run as multiple jobs and still have not seen any tank loot drop at all for the past week.



Is this is just me? or are other tanks also noticing this?

Yeah I've seen it some weeks where no tank gear seems to drop. It might be crappy drop rates, but most will just come to this thread to tell you "RNG is RNG." I doubt SE can or will do anything about it.

Nah, it's just bad luck. I see tank gear all the time but not the monk/dragoon gear I want.

Two weeks ago when I was looking for scholar gear, all I saw was monk gear. >.>

I always see mnk/drg gear :/ that's like the only thing that drops. Not once have I seen whm or blm hands.

RNG is RNG. I see nothing but tank drops some runs. You do realize it has to randomly shift through quite a few sets along with ending items like UAT, Minion, Throne Gem and Oil of Time, right? They can't fix what isn't broken - Unless they determine drops, e.g creating at least 20 more bosses, there's no way to "fix" what isn't broken.

Uh, mostly no. Gem and Minion are from a separate chest altogether, Oil and Tomestone are in addition to whatever gear piece drops from Xande, they don't replace it.

I didn't say they replaced it - I was listing all drops in the zone because all chests will drop randomized items or not at all in case of the optional items.

Out of all the times I’ve ran ST, I’ve only seen the caster helm drop at the very end. I have never seen any body piece drop on my runs.

Also, I ran Brayfox Hard, Stone Vidgil Hard, Halatali Hard, The Lost City of Amdapor and Hullbreaker Isle last night and every single chest at the last boss dropped Hardened Sap. Thats f***ed up.

Yeah RNG is terrible. I've been running ST since launch, (and this is not an exaggeration) I see nothing but Caster/Healer gear. Each run at minimum 2-3 drops are one of those Jobs.

The entire game suffers pretty heavily from this. During the first run of binding coil, it took me seven months until we saw the Monk gloves drop once, and that was only after the coil loot lockout was lifted and we could farm it over and over. Seven months and we never saw a piece of loot drop, and it drove me absolutely insane, because it was BiS for my Monk and it just never dropped.

Now, in coil two we got a bit of a late start, but it's been about four or so months and we've seen literally doubles or triples (or four/five in some cases) of everything from 6-8 sans the healing boots, the monk body, and the casting ring. Which we haven't seen once. Granted, the monk body isn't BiS for me, but that doesn't mean I don't want it until I get the sand for the rest of my gear (because forget doing hunts) and for vanity. Every week is literally the same loot over and over again. We've gotten probably four or five tank boots, three or four pairs of tank gloves, double of the rest of the tank gear (which I won't complain about, as I play Warrior in coil despite maining Monk) and double or triple of every bard piece. Only a small handful of caster and healer gear split between four people.

But every week it's just more tank and bard gear, and nothing else. We've dubbed it the binding coil of disappointment, because every week that's all it is.

I certainly don't want gear handed to me on a silver platter, but at some point it's just like "Really? Am I ever going to see this drop before they remove the loot lockout?"
So far, it seems like no, you probably won't.
