[request] increase Alexandrite fate drop rate

[XiXiQ]

I farmed 19 alexandrites from fates yesterday... 133 fates from start to finish. This was with a relic weapon animus equipped. What weapon were you using?

Nexus. I did an experiment today. I did what I typically do, tallied 32 fates and 1 alex drop solo (as I was waiting for DF). This was actually a good day, as one actually dropped. This method, same amount of fates daily for 2 weeks, and I would see a drop every second or third day at most.

I have an animus as well, so I changed to that and started using my choco. The results were startling - 22 fates and 6 alex drops.

So is it a difference in drop rate per weapon? A sliding scale with animus around 15%, novus around 5-10% and nexus still a poor 2-3%? or the fact you are in a party changing the drop rate? (I hope it's the former, the last thing I want to see is yet another thing you can't do while waiting on the DF)

Too early to tell, I will make another tally tomorrow using animus without the choco out and see what transpires.

I would guess it's actually different per tier of weapon you use... Or Animus got boosted while the others didn't. Haven't done tests with Nexus or Zodiac so can't tell, but for Novus I did notice that since I got it I only got 3 Alexandrites in 61 FATEs.

Novus might have lower Alexandrite drop rate because you get Nexus lights from the FATEs... Even if it's only Feeble... That's just pure speculation though.
