    Pretty much feel the same way. I don't know why SE thought cut and paste of regrinding 16 old dungeons was a good idea. If they were going to make us redo all the dungeons it should have been like books with a 100% drop. RNG is purely crap because it doesn't show skill in obtaining. Someone can get lucky and get it first go other people can go 50+ runs and never see it. And if you have to grind those dungeons more than 10 times eventually you start to get burnt out of playing the game or even bothering at all. Is that what SE wanted people to do? Grind content so much that they want to quit playing? Yea relic shouldn't be 'easily obtained' but those dungeons have very little to offer in replay value. If the dungeons themselves had more replay value, then it'd be more tolerable to do.

    Not broken, just... obnoxious. Since it's fixed at an assumed 11%, that means there's a 89% chance or something of the item you need never dropping at all. Although unlikely, there is a chance someone could be stuck doing a dungeon for a year before seeing the item they need drop (this is what I would call: the universe hates you syndrome).

    Did my Zodiak hit a few roadblocks didn't mind. I found it better than the book phase to be honest, although I do see peoples point about capping it at a certain number of runs, or having a progressivly higher drop rate.

    Nobody would stop complaining but I do think even a hidden hard-cap should be put into place to prevent someone from going insane.

    Tbh my main problem is the colossal grind for SEVENTY FIVE alexandrites... It just boring and mind mumbling.... If fates drop rate increases I will carry on getting zodiacs. The dungeons atma drop , from my own experience, it's been fine. it took me 25 Hours straight to get them all.

    There are 4 different way to get Alexandrites: Hunts for Allied Seal and buy it straight from vendor, FATES drops, the daily dungeon mystery map and buy mystery map from soldiery. So Alexandrites are easy to farm.

    I don't understand why people farm FATES just for Alexandrites, I got 10 Alexandrites every day. Most up to 12-13 Alexandrites in a day less than 4-5 hours play time. I got that part done under a week.


    For Nexus to Zodiac, we are forced to RNG dungeon drop, no other choices!

    Alex are easy to farm but it's still the heaviest grind of the zodiac quest.

    If you join the FULL A train you will only get 680 seals , that's 3 Alex . this happens every 3 hours.so in theory you need 9 hours for 10 Alex.This is only if you join the full train straight in straight out. ( lucky if you get a S Mark or don't missed an A

    On top of that, from solds you can get up to 3 Alex maps (9 hours) from a FULL A train hunts.

    Then the EXDR that gives you one.

    So you can get up to 10 to 12 Alex a day if you stay at home and do this on a full day.But realistically if you don't have a full day to play you will probably get up to 3 or 4 Alex a day.

    The grind is not hard at all cause you know what we doing but is how repetitive it becomes.It's like doing brayflox all day back in the day.That's what makes the Alex REAL grind.

    Like I say if the drop rate from fates was increase, someone who is casual could probably get 10 Alex a day by doing all steps.Just a suggestion.
