    Drops in the three new dungeons.

    I really don't want this to seem as a complaint thread, as I really do love the the new hard modes and ampador
    However the old tome items dropping constantly is beginning to get frustrating
    Two Friends who needed to gear up asked if I would tag along
    In ampador we kept getting the item drops, with final boss dropping only cooking sherry and void sent blood (both of which sell more to vendor than they do on MB right now)
    Next we had Brayflox where apart from one armor drop, every other drop was the tome items again cooking sherry and the water,,both sell higher to vendor

    I have no issues with these items dropping, but please give bosses two chests, one a tome drop and the other an armor drop.
    It would help those still needing the gear that drops from these dungeons.

    Many thanks.

    Or you could just do the dungeon again and hope it drops that time.
    The game is already too easy as it is and people keep asking SE to make everything even easier and less time consuming to get
    I have yet to see an armour drop from the last boss in the new dungeons, but I'll just keep doing them until I get what I want.

    I think your missing the point, dungeons have never been about being able to make 120gil from items that drop off a final boss of it
    You said it yourself you have yet to see an armor drop off of last boss, where did I say I'd like it to be less time consuming? I wasn't doing it for the gear, I was helping others, should they be punished because you don't think dungeons should drop armor?

    Yeah I agree with the reagent part, but that is how the game is so instead of making a thread about it you/they could just do the dungeon again and hope for a better drop
    I think it's great that it's hard to get these new armours cause they are great for vanity and if they dropped every time everyone would have them and they would lose their purpose (except for new players but they will get ilvl 90 really fast anyway so it's not like it really matters) I'm trying to collect the Pilgrim's gear for vanity but so far I have only got the bracers. And I think it's nice, it makes the new dungeons exciting everytime cause there's a small chance the items I want will drop and I'm not only doing a mindless farm for stones

    I totally agree with the OP and was going to make a suggestion about this as well. I got fairly lucky with Fistfighter's drops early on, but this last week or so, I haven't seen any of the new sets at all, and only a couple of Darklight pieces. The rest have been mostly Minium or Aqueous Whetstones or Voidsent Blood. These particular materials are often worth an amount of gil less than what is earned by killing a single enemy in the dungeons where they are obtained. It is especially irritating to find two or more separate drops of the same material in one instance.

    The other dungeons make all materials drop from bronze coffers, why isn't it the same with the Expert Roulette dungeons? Either crafting items should be added to bronze coffers and removed from silver and gold, or silver and gold coffers should be made to drop one equipment along with one material, or the crafting items should be removed entirely. After all, we have two other sources for these materials. One may turn in Darklight drops for seals now, and then trade those seals for the same materials, but not vice versa.

    I personally wouldn't say no to the magicians set, but again I stress, they weren't their for vanity sake or to make 120gil, they were there for the now non purchasable DL armor, new players to them dungeons that actually need the gear shouldn't be forced to run it 100 times just to see a single piece of armor drop.
    Etcause bu that time the tomes alone would of purchased better, to not see a single armor drop the entire dungeon is a bad design, now matter how you dress it up, and I am entitled to make a thread, not have some one tell me I shouldn't and that I should just run it it again

    Time Sync =/= Harder to get, Just makes it more annoying to finally get it. Getting Allagan Legs of Striking is not hard, but ive done 180+ runs of Turn 1 and still not seen it, Does that make it hard? No, Just makes it annoying.

    Thank you! You summed it up perfectly

    Sorry but it's working as intended I believe since those 3 new dungeons each have 2 chests spread out through the dungeon that give guaranteed Darklight.

    In Brayflox hardmode there's 2 chest that give guaranteed Darklight gear, 1 is after the 1st boss up the ramp and the 2nd right after the 2nd boss to the left. That seems to also be the case in Lost City and Halatali HM as well.

    So what exactly is the issue you are bringing up since you end up having on average 2-4 Darklight drops per run.
