    I probably used up all my luck in my first run of Aery; I got a Nidhogg card on my first run.
    I haven't received another card or seen any Pandas in any run thereafter. :/

    What if it looks good, tho. D:

    I actually farmed for every single WoD set because I think they look amazing... Don't ask how long it took. You don't wanna know. :c

    If you have ever done Relic or even coil, 21 runs would seem like nothing.
    Heck it took well over 80 runs of wod for the darn caster coat.

    Solution: form a premade. Run it like 3-4 times at most. Everyone gets what they want!

    If it makes you feel better, I got a Lesser Panda on my very first Aery run.

    0/23 on the Healer Chest piece dropping from Great Gubal Library. At least the queue is fast.

    I'm not against rng or anything. But yes, I got butthurt by it too ^^

    I had gotten none of the fendings drop from AS for always losing on rolls since day 1.
    The worst was when I had to pug A1S for the first 3 weeks and it just happened that I always got paired with some new+average geared OT (not even above i180). Had to explain mechanics, basically, doing more work handholding him. Finally we cleared and he gets the loot right away.
    I could swear that hurt like hell lol.
    So yeah, good for that guy. That's rng.

    I've had similar bad luck with A1, just looking for a bolt last week. Granted its not nearly as bad as yours but the RNG rain cloud followed me in a unusual manner. I ran it on wed and thurs, so many times I nearly capped my eso tomes on it. I only had two experts in to that point. I must of went 25 times, I'll admit I didn't keep track. But it was all i did for two evenings. But the funny part is. I broke down and joined a A1 farm group. Because I know that "usually" you will come away with your drop. The first drop there were two bolts. Both my rolls on them were below 10. We ran it 5 times. I was the last person that even needed anything in the group. So I was guaranteed my drop. But as surprising as it might be, and unbelievable, I rolled a 99 on the loot. I was completely floored. I must of had this maniacal laugh going on for 10 mins. And spent the next two days telling the story to my FC over and over again. Because of how insanely stupid it was. I know during all those DF runs I had many many rolls below 10, and kept feeling depressed.

    I wish there was some kind of system that could detect your rolling on the same loot over the course of a week, and gradually increase the RNG curve, thereby increasing your chances over time. The only thing this could potentially cause a problem with is the number of runs you get where you get it on the first try, because so many other people have there RNG curve increased in your group. But in the end I think it would be more beneficial that way.

    It took me 12 hours and 15 minutes one day and approximately 4 hours the next day to get the Orthodox Gauntlets of Fending, just the gloves, nothing else.. I am now trying to get the final piece of gear Orthodox Thighboots of Casting, which somehow I lost on greed rolls every single time it came up the entire time I was after the gauntlets of fending. I would either roll less than a 20 or there would be a BLM/SMN that would need on them every time. I am now 8 hours of DPS runs and no thighboots. RNG is a joke.
