    Do you really think having a 1/36 drop rate on what you want is a better solution?

    the 3rd boss drops 10 items. So, WHM chest alone, 1/10 chance to drop.

    (9/10)^47 = .7% chance

    So, seems pretty unlikely that is true

    40+ runs have not seen the healer boots drop once in CT.

    Yeah, probability is low, but it does happen.

    Or try this one on for size. 98% chance of success to gather an item, 12+ fails in a row. It happens, the odds are absolutely astronomical that it will, but it does, and frequently.

    Sure, people do that all the time, in this case though, it's not any of us exaggerating, this is actually happening.

    You might not be having these things happen, but do not misconstrue it as no one having it. Yes they are low probability events, but low probability does not mean it will not happen.

    Took me 2 weeks to get the BLM body, close to 100 runs if not more before I saw it, lol. Then 2 dropped in a row after I got mine, hand in there it does exist!

    I have made myself an easy solution on that.

    I don't count at all!

    47 times in one week... holy cow

    I like Random-Number-Generator
    'cause I'm able to accept that
    a dice normally has six sides
    a pyramid has 5 sides
    a toast has 2 sides
    AND I CAN'T PREDICT WHICH SIDES IT FALLS TO.

    Took me 19 runs to see the first DRG piece in CT. And I saw every single MNK piece at least 5 times. This can't be random!
