Old (Rare) Crafting Mats

[Nekotee]

I completely disagree
I refuse to see the mat in chest

This is an extremely rare comp that must reward those who play correctly.

If you put it in chest, then undersized party could loot them even if they ignore 99% of the fight
I do not count the EX primals or coil i did (or PL) with more than 5 death in the fight but cleared even so...

Those mat should only be loot during sync fight where you follow the basic strat !

And this is why you get no likes, Debbie. FYI, we 5 manned Ifrit for an Inferno Horn for a friend's wep this weekend, sad that we couldn't get 3 other ppl to join our PF, but this is the state of the game currently; while I do love Unsynced (Soloing Halatali HM is my ezpz Rose gold/Darksteel Nugget/ BCIII farm) it has hindered the crafting item surplus we used to see, in the same way CT irrelevance has lead to Syrcus Shard/ Throne Gems to become non existent. While I do agree with Devs limiting items in Unsynced Content, there has to be a fix when it comes to these items; lets not forget that furniture and i95 weapons( for the sake of example) are not giving others and advantage to push the envelope in current content.

When you put the undersized party option it's clearly write than you will never loot when defeating monster (either trash or boss)
Only the chest and clear will be granted

No light, no loot nor exp

Oddly you still get card drops(I got a card when we were 3 manning undersize an ex primal) so I find it odd that the crafting mats wouldn't drop.

It's true that those have nothing but glamour purpose
(Except shiva/Lévi and ramuh for the chocobo)

You say you had a 5 char team for ifrit for the horn ? Did you get it ?
The thrones gem... God i saw one during one of my worse run...

Same for T13 saw the loot one time, but the group was perfect.

...

I do regret not buying some mat before HW...
Garuda's ex comp was around 80k before
And skyrocket to 2M...

@Ruskie
Yep... I caw't define the card which still appear unsync...
Let's put the easiest answer : aether

Yes, 7 runs in, if you click minimum Ilvl, you can go in understaffed. I'll admit it is challenging at i80 sync, but 2 War, Blk, and Brd make the nails easy, and our Sch healer is amazing.

Well, prayers have been answered it seems. From the preliminary patch 3.1 notes:

Items that dropped directly from boss enemies will now drop from treasure boxes in the following duties:
The Bowl of Embers (Extreme) / The Howling Eye (Extreme) / The Navel (Extreme) / Thornmarch (Extreme) / The Whorleater (Extreme) / The Striking Tree (Extreme) / Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme)
