How much have you grinded for one pice of glamor?

[Kolsykol]

I think Eureka was the most I grinded.
It didn't feel that long tho but there had been a family tragedy recently when I did it and I needed something to try and relax and get my mind off it a little.
I basically spent 3 days doing nothing but the entire day.

I spent a good month farming Neverreap to get the Valerian Dragoon's Sollerets. I hate that place now.

• 23 Ghimlyt Dark for Alliance Fending Top.
• 36 Rabanastre Raid for the Squire Top (I completed all other role’s set lol)
• 29 Drowned City of Skalla for Fending Top.
• 19 Swallow’s Compass for Healer Top.
• 34 Eden’s Gate: Sepulture for Healer Top. For whatever reason I just couldn’t roll higher than 30ish on body tokens and thus they got snatched away everytime. The last 2 runs was when I got paired with 7 other players who simply bolt out right away, winning me all those tokens instantly.
• 20+ Grand Cosmos for Healer and Caster Pelts. I remembered running 20 times before giving up, only for them to drop when I was not in neither role to roll need in later runs via roulette. Thankfully the party was generous to pass them to me.
• 12 Tower of Paradigm for Caster’s gloves. Game why did you pair me with 2+ other casters too >_>
• 11 Qitana’s Ravel for Fending Top. Of course, the game decided to give me everything but the top till the very end. To add in the insult to the injury, the top also drops from last chest. Out of spite, I desynth the one that goes into my armory immediately and rolled need from the one in coffer.
• 60+ (I’ve lost the actual count) runs of Saint Arboretum for Plague Doctor top. No loot but retainer eventually saved me from this hell hole. The irony here is, I ended up not liking how it actually turns out and toss it away.

If it's a levelling dungeon, not 50/60/70/80/90, you absolutely do always get a new piece of gear for your current class upon completing the dungeon.

There's no fanfare or coffer. It just drops into your inventory immediately upon defeating the final boss.

Hmm. I can't say I've even noticed this before. I'll have to pay attention to it the next time I do a leveling dungeon.

Edit: I'm assuming by the discussion this works even if you're L90?

Edit: Does this only work for the current expansion dungeons? (81 - 90) Or will it work on a L90 going through Shadowlands dungeons?

iirc every leveling dungeon now gives you a freebie for your job at the clear, regardless of what level you are/what level the dungeon is. Today leveling roulette put me (lv 89 sage) in Shisui and I got a free pair of shoes at the end.

Will this work unsynced do you think? If I specifically select a dungeon to run and unsync it, will it still give me a random piece for a full clear?

Just as an example, if I were to grab a buddy and unsync 2 man The Heroes Gauntlet for the gear in there, do the same rules apply?

Or do I have to do it with a full party? I'm assuming it can be done by manually selecting the dungeon rather than having to randomly get it through the roulette, right?

Heroes Gauntlet is not a leveling dungeon sadly, so you're stuck dealing with the rng there. I believe it basically follows the cap of it's xpac, ie. dungeons that are level 51-59 would give the free drop, but not a lv 60 since that was "endgame" and not leveling.

edit:
ran a quest test for the unsync bit: yes you'll still get the freebie as long as the dungeon qualifies

I've just completed my 20th run on Ktisis Hyperboreia trying to get the reaper chest piece.
I've seen every piece of gear multiple times now but never the chest piece. I'm starting to believe there actually isn't one in this dungeon.

What's the longest you have run a dungeon for grinding out one piece?

Are you running it on Reaper? Because the new dungeons give you a piece for the job you're playing once you clear it. At least when you do it solo with a Trust.

The key is you have to keep all the reaper items in your inventory or armory chest. If you sell them or discard them, etc. the chests will assume you don't have it and award something like the ring you say you've seen over and over.

As for me, just this past week, I had run countless runs of Paglth'an for casting gloves and tank pants to complete those sets. I was running them with Trusts so I'd be guaranteed to get the times. I honestly don't know how many times I ran them, but it was so many I almost gave up. Then two of my FC friends offered to run some unsynched with me and both pieces dropped within about 4 or 5 runs. I was also able to complete my full aiming set from the same place.

Paglth'an

Ive run that dungeon Back-to-Back 60 times, trying to get the Fending Helmet.
Ive seen EVERY Gear Set drop, and every fending peice MULTIPLE times. But only saw the Fending head 3 times.

I asked 2 times it dropped if I could have it. 2 party members say sure,but the last one would be all "oh sorry, I didnt see you needed it" and took it.
Finally I just started running Tank so that wouldnt happen again. But just...that Helm took SO LONG to get.
And I think I put more time and energy into that stupid Helmet, then I put into grinding a Relic

[Quintessa]

Never knew that was a thing.

It checks if you already have it before giving you the piece you're missing.

Loot chests also do this but the difference is the loot doesn't change if you already have it.
