Drops in the three new dungeons.

[Kiara1]

What is it with the elitist toxic attitude of some players in these forums, if it doesn't affect them it's not a problem.

I'm just trying to defend the few things I still like about this game before the community turns this game into something only saaay 80% of the players will like
I like playing this game and I don't want it to change so that everything is obtained more easily.

If your friend doesn't want to farm the dungeon for the loot tell him to just collect tomestones and buy better items if he prefers it that way

You should practice what you preach since you're being toxic yourself.

You seem to have issues with getting 2-4 DL gear per run.
You seem to have issue accepting that bosses drop more than just gear that benefit the other roles that exist in FFXIV like crafters and gatheres.

You enjoy looking at negatives in which case I'm sorry for bothering to help you look at the bright side. I wont stand in the way of your personal agenda and I apologize for interrupting your thread then.

Drops are ok, I guess.

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.

A post with a reasonable opinion, with a very good suggestion that is backed up by facts. Are you sure you are in the correct forums?

By the way, the two chests people are talking about that have a 100% rate on Darklight items; I think those chests drop accessories only, not armor pieces.

[Sessurea]

Agreed. People who don't want DL but want some mats can just trade in the DL for seals anyways. These dungeons are tough enough for the fresh 50 I'd assume, so ditch the mats!

I've seen DL in the save chests in Brayflox but not always and rarely, the issue isn't even about side chests it's that bosses are regularly not dropping armor just vendor junk that sells less than killing a single mob would give thanks to the Mb being flooded with them

No, those two specific chests. NOT the ones from the bosses, are both DL, every time. Plus it's been rather 50/50 for me. Some days it's mostly gear, some mostly mats. And like others have said, unless you REALLY want the pieces for vanity, it's not a huge deal.

[SummonerSenah]

Those two chests always drop Darklight jewelry, which is fine. I geared my tanks up from that. I don't mind that mats drop from chests from the first and second bosses, either. I just wish that the only thing the last boss dropped was gear. Even my friends with crafting at 50 groan when it drops cooking sherry or one piece of coke. Like others have mentioned, those mats are easy to get now with seals, which are also easy to get.

Getting anything OTHER THAN accessories in the new dungeons is infuriatingly difficult. I've been running Brayflox Hard near non stop the past few weeks tossing any caster gear I get to the side to gear up my Arcanist retainer. It's taken all that time to build up a mix and match set of darklight and magician gear and I'm still short a pair of boots.

What they should have done is put the crafting materials as alternate drops from the med/accessory chests. Getting crafting mats off the first boss is okay, getting double crafting mats off the second boss is pushing it, but fighting all the way to the last boss and opening the chest to find a single peacock ore is down right infuriating every time.

Total agree, isn't fair on oeople who run them to gear up to kill final boss and get rewarded with cooking sherry and void sent blood..
