But no one complains about the "rarity" of these items because they know exactly what they have to do to obtain them.

So with all the threads complaining about the drop rate of Darklight, I think the issue is not really knowing how close or how far away you are to getting the drops you want.

So to help everyone out and ease their minds I'm going to unofficially give you the Darklight-o-meter drop tool. This way you know just about when you're Darklight will be delivered to you.

When running AV/CC with a static you can count on getting a piece of Darklight after 52 runs. If you pass by 52 runs, know that you should get two by the time you pass 104 runs. If you are running with random parties, then multiply the 50 runs by 1.7 and add your age and lastly subtract the number of classes you have at level 50.

If you are after a body piece that requires a different formula.
With a static you will need 64 to 127 speed runs with a second one dropping before you hit 164 runs. For the random pick up party, your Darklight Body piece will drop in 64 speed runs times your age, divided by the number of Final Fantasy games you have finished and adding the number of Grade 3 Dark Matter in your inventory.

This is a guaranteed darklight drop tool that will alleviate your woes and bring the joy back to farming gear. Do not subscribe to any other false or imitation Darklight drop tools that may be roaming around on the internet.

Happy raiding!
Despite the fact that you are a highlander with corn rows... This was funny....
