Alexandrite Fate drop rates

[Parz3val]

I think 3% would be just perfect. Seems likely it's set to 1%.

Atma's should be bumped to 3% also now that Novus is out.

9/149 fates North Thanalan according to my fate achievement. Which is about 6% drop rate for me.

Finally got my first Alexandrite drop in Aleport after tons in random areas, did 1 FATE right after doing my Mysterious Map, lo and behold a piece of Alexandrite drops, go figure.

What the Christ am I doing wrong? No Alexandrite from 400-450 fates.

Wow there are some lucky people around here. I got one in about 500 FATEs

This is the place where i go do fates if i try to get alexandrites from fates alone, with new fate scaling you can solo fates extremely fast as there are not many players doing them in this zone. Here you can also use all your skills so no more 1,2,1,2,1,2... and you also get 281 seals from each fate that can be used to buy crafting materials for sale, so even if you dont get alexies you will atleast get some gil's.

Random is random is random

and is why random sucks

EDIT: it's why *extremely low* randomization sucks. Because you're going to get a huge variance in results, with those who have a decent drop rate and others who won't see anything for over 1000 drops.

If the weather and moonphase is right and you do a specific emotion looking to a specific direction before the FATE start, you double your chance

Somehow like this

heh. someone took the original compass, modified it, and forgot to credit the one who made it in the first place.

I got two Alexandrites from 400+ fates, one from Coerthas and the other from Central Shroud, Im farming in Central Thanalan, fates are easier but greedy, didnt drop anything yet
