Delubrum reward drop rates

[Fluxating]

It's not just the drop rates for the hairstyle and mount that are bad, but also the fragments. I've used up pretty much all my offensive actions at this point and only once or twice have I earned any back while in there. I could go and farm some more in the southern front or castrum, but why bother? Why spend a bunch of time farming up resources to just waste them for nothing? I've got a few more runs left to finish off my second weapon and then I'm done with running it.

After a certain point really low drop rates stop becoming incentives to keep running content and become demoralising, making players wonder why they should keep bothering when after 30+ runs they haven't recieved an even halfway decent drop.

Exactly. And I say this after more than 60 runs.

The really irony that shows off how poorly thought out their reward structure is by selling the Fragments you purchase with cluster, you'll eventually have enough to buy the hairstyle outright in likely less time than it takes to complete Delubrum enough for it to drop. Unless you're incredibly lucky.

Once again, this reeks of them artificially drawing things out because Shadowbringers has almost nothing left to offer until September/October. At the same time, it misses the point of incentives. If people feel they're too outrageous, they won't bother. It's why the top 100 Feast reward has never once worked to attract new players towards PvP. It isn't an incentive if no one thinks they'll be able to rank high enough to get it. Sadly, the dev time is nothing if not notoriously stubborn.

This sums it up exactly. Spot on.

I stopped doing DR completely as soon as I got my fourth weapon. I haven't even been logging into the game anymore. I want the rewards, but I don't think it's worth continuing to do 30-45 minute runs of DR and getting literally nothing. They are there, but they aren't for me. The weapons aren't cool enough on their own to justify this kind of time investment. I'm sorry.

60+ runs. this far only gotten the mount.

More than me. I've done 75+ runs, and gotten nothing at all.

The fragment droprate makes no sense in an instance designed to make use of Lost Actions and Essence. The better actions can be quite expensive to stockpile, especially since each fragment has a high chance to give one of the bad Essences or Actions. I've done close to 50 runs of DR and only got 3 of the Pure Essence for melee dps. This means contributing to your team costs you either a lot of grind or gil, which isn't right.

Bosses should be dropping multiple fragments each with the option to trade more for silver coins. We should be encouraged to have fun using them, not discouraged.
