why are minion drops so rare?

[Welsper59]

well, there goes that. Were there really any minions out of reach for most players other than plushie and OST promo ones?


INC flood of all dungeon minions from heavensward, time to kick yourself for spending any gil on a minion before this change.

Technically, minions like Gestahl are rare by comparison to others. This being because of the fact you need a 55+ FSH retainer and a lot of luck. Let's be honest here, not a lot of people would bother with FSH, much less end up having a FSH retainer over a miner/botanist or combat one. I managed to get the pet and have it up on the MB for a high price, just in case it turns out that I want it for the LoV content. Mind you, that was the only one out of all of my daily attempts since a week or so after early access HW. Even Assassin Fry is a PITA to get with better gear and high CUL desynth. That one though can be tried for so long as Gloom weather is around.
