Coffers in Alliance Raids!

[Atelier-Bagur]

Reminds me of my early days in Rabanastre trying to get the SAM chestpiece. Pretty sure I went at least 30 runs before I saw it drop.

same, I did daily Ivalice raid runs for my Agrias and Ramza set. And I LIKED IT

it took me like 2 years to even see the WoD maiming boots
the one time they dropped i wasnt on DRG

the dark ages of no alliance roulette and when people wanted to do CT raids

Nothing should be tied to pure rng.

Im on the mindset of "selective rng". In that some rng can be good, as long as its fun.

But I would just honestly request a guaranteed item piece drop, or at least make the tokens that drop to be used for either augment a tomestone piece or purchase any of the raid items.

5 runs and you complain...

My record is 40 and I don't create a topic to say it.

it's not a contest

the fact is that alliance raids are the only duties that award gear without a guaranteed way to obtain a specific piece that you want. in savage you're eventually guaranteed to get one thanks to pages, and extreme trials drop weapon coffers now in addition to a single weapon. in eureka it was tied to farming a currency, and it was the same in bozja too. so why not alliance raids?

Alliances AND level-cap dungeons, including ones no longer at cap.

I don't think they've even added weapon coffers for the Baldur and Crimson Lotus weapons.

Gear for levelling dungeons is handed out freely at the end of each run, but level-cap dungeons never get updated to do the same and some really good glamours remain very difficult to acquire.

They are less generous with the amount of pieces dropped per run compared to alliance raids, so even fewer opportunities for RNG to turn up the right piece.

Yes, please.

My brain is still rather melted after farming Breach for a week for a singular drop with my tank friend. We can hear the raid music while not in the game, and he can hear it in his sleep still.

[Wolwosh]

Oh no 3 whole runs for something you wanted. What a torture!

Coffers should be added once the next part of that raid is released - definitly not while its current content. Simply handing everyone a coffer at the end of a run would pretty much invalidate all of the chests before the last boss (why roll on something if you can grab the coffer?) while also ensuring a decline in participants (why run it more than once if you get a coffer?).

Its not like anyone actually "needs" this gear as an upgrade - sure, it can be an upgrade (specially for secondary jobs) but there are other ways to gear up. Not getting a drop from an alliance raid isnt going to hinder anyones progress. Its pretty much mainly for glamour - so I think coffers once the content is "outdated" is fair.

Once a raid is no longer current, we should be able to use the raid's coins to buy the gear from a vendor. You still have to run the raid a few times to get enough coins, but if RNGsus hates you, you'll still get what you're after eventually.
