Steps:
During the dates specified, I participated in the instanced dungeons of Amdapor Keep and Wanderer's Palace roughly 20 times. While clearing the dungeons attempting to obtain the loot from the treasure chests within both dungeons I noticed something odd about the items that were frequently obtained. I kept track of the items that appeared in the treasure chests of all the bosses and noticed the items that were loading were always the same few items. The issue was noticed for both dungeons. Specifically the items that loaded into the chest were: Siphari (head, body, legs, feet), Mercenary (head, body, legs, feet), Warlock (head, body, hands, feet), Darklight Weapons (Bow, Shield, Lance, BLM Staff). According to any information site regarding the loot lists of the dungeons will tell you that Amdapor Keep and Wanderes Palace drop a lot of items; such as the Strategos, Toxotes, Peltast, Hoplite, Hetairos, and Demagogue gear sets. I have been participating in both dungeons since the most recent patch (not just the specified period mentioned above) and the results during those runs were the same. Having done roughly 15 runs through each dungeon a piece, I am beginning to wonder if the treasure loading process is experiencing issues. Not once did any of the gear sets listed above drop from the dungeons. Were they removed from possible gear obtained from these dungeons or is there a bug in the randomizer? There was mention in the patch notes that a change was made to the treasure chests within dungeons. I work as a programmer myself and understand that the slightest alteration in a script can greatly alter how a gaming process functions. I must ask that this issue be looked into. Fellow gamers please assist and mention if you have performed these dungeons and what gear you received or have noticed dropping. This issue could be quickly squashed if credible players can report successful gear drops of all the appropriate gear for the dungeons.
