It's not fun to worry about losing resources and re-grinding them to make faster runs and not make a single step towards getting the hairstyle. Everything to make delubrum faster or easier is less time fighting the rng and brute-forcing it. At the very least let us buy it with silver coins, my god. I've had better luck grinding Castrum Abania for the godforsaken katana, Kotetsu, and getting multiple duplicates of everything else before I finally got it.

I get rng and stuff, but the fact that Delubrum rewards are drops only and going to eventually become impossible to get due to the fact Delubrum is content with an expiration date, unless you get into preorganized runs that probably wont jive with your time, is frustrating.

Just. Bleh. There's my after-work rant on the lack of bad luck protection coupled with an abysmally low drop-rate on cosmetics that, frankly, I'm getting tired of being put in absolutely random nowhere places like the pyros hair and lockboxes...
At least with bunny farming you're still earning gil as a consolation prize from the chests for 10k/25k/100k with the chance of earning a high value mount (or minion in Pagos's case) to sell on the marketboard or party finder, as well as accumulating logograms for later use.
Unless you're actively going into Bozja to farm lost actions as well as farming DR for the slim chance of obtaining it's mount/minion, you're probably losing more gil than you gain by going in again and again, especially since you lose lost essences once you step outside the instance. And it doesn't help that you might not even get the action/essence you want due to appraisal rng. It's just a vicious cycle at that point, and one that I refuse to fall into.
