How is this drop rate calculated? Is this 28% directed at the beastmen seal or the militia gear? Furthermore, are you saying that 28 total items have dropped after 100 attempts? Or that every player in the party got 28 items EACH after 100 attempts?

If the former is true, then you would need to multiply the chest x8 players which would give 28 items out of 800 chests (not counting top 20 suppliers) for a drop rate of 0.035%. If the latter is true, then you must be on to something or SE upped the drop rate cause i have not heard of anyone getting such a high militia gear drop rate in the other HD threads i've read.

As for putting more time into moogle/ifrit, i got an ifrit weapon every 10 kills and only 3 duplicates (i know others have had worse luck) so in all i did less than 100 ifrit kills to obtain 7/7. Moogle on the other hand i got my mogwand on first kill and haven't done more since then (just bored of it). Let's not even talk about garuda.

The problem though is, as you say, boring. Never in FFXI was i bored of camping an NM or fighting BNCM etc. Why do I and others feel completely uninterested in primal / hamlet defense/ CC/AV runs?
