Hyrstmill Hamlet Defense Defective 60K+ Chest Drops

[Scytale]

Hello-

Now I do realize that this may sound a tad like whining, but I actually believe there may be something wrong with the chests drop and may need some looking into...

My Hamlet LS "Defender's of Durandal" have participated in 3 Hyrstmill Hamlet's so far tonight. Our PT composition includes a Top 20 Provisioner. For each of the 3 runs we have earned greater than 60K to spawn the "Gold Chest" (~64k, 67k, 66k for the respective runs).

Once we open the chest, only one drop has appeared in all of the chests, and 1 drop only, the "Militia Barbut".

The reason I believe this is a bug in Hyrstmill is the fact of this type of drop rate happening 3 times in a row, and the lack of the "promised" drops expected from a chest of that magnatude.

If this is an intended drop (i.e. Time-sink) just let me know... If not please look into the chests drop mechanics and fix if possible.

Pretty sure we've had the same luck with Golden Bazaar and Aleport is just buggy in that it's too lucky.

It's not a glitch. It's a timesink. This is SE's attempt at prolonging relic and sustaining content. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not.

I think Scy is just a little mad that SE trolled us so hard. We normally see about 50% but went 5/5 on the barbut chest tonight. There was a sixth run be we are not going to talk about it, ever.

The droprates are so bad that people are starting to think they're bugged lol.

barbut is 100% drop there with 60k+ chest

[Kinseykinz]

barbut is 100% drop there with 60k+ chest

So in this case, basically you got nothing for 60K the whole night...except a hat everyone in the group got already...3 weeks ago.

No it is 100% for barbut but drop rate for other items is better too. First time we make spawn the gold beastman chest we had (in about 10 chests at Aleport) 10 armet, 3-4 duckbills, 3 seals and 1 mitt gauntlets.
Drop rate is totaly better but not too high.

Hello!

I'll go ahead and submit your information for further investigation and testing to see if this drop rate is intended or not.

Any changes, news or updates regarding this matter will either be made directly to this post, or on the Lodestone site at http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html and official FFXIV forums. Thank you again!
