    A Treasured Mother Quest

    Curious if anyone have had any of the lost treasure drop from the 3 dungeons for this quest. 8 hours of AP and ive gotten nothing. Possibly broken? Ive done about 6 of the dungeons required for the other quest and the longest they took was 2-3 hrs.

    Someone has completed the entire quest, so it's not broken. Sounds like you're having a streak of bad luck, friend. ):

    I'm going to bump this. I don't think it is wholly broken, but I am wondering if they misplaced a decimal point or something. All the other dungeons seem to be around 20% drop rate or there abouts (many reporting getting it first time, and few reporting needing more than 8 or so runs).

    Pharos Sirius seems to be several standard deviations out. I know a dozen people in the high teens or over 20 runs with no drop (myself included). In my server group, I am meeting the same people queueing over and over (adding to the dozen on my server, Diabolos, that seem to be having the same issue).

    A confirmation that this *IS* working correctly (Zodiac quest, A Treasured Mother, Pharos Sirius Lost Treasure drop) would be amazing. That aside, are others having the same problem? Did I miss a patch note or quest conversation where Pharos Sirius is supposed to be a lower drop rate (looks at being more like 2% than 20% if the number of unsuccessful runs isn't being inflated via frustration) .

    I got mine from Pharos first try so it is indeed working. Just because you have a "20" percent chance does not mean you will get it quickly, technically speaking you could theoretically NEVER get it. Just keep grinding. You need 6400 soldiery anyways.

    Item drops rates for me personally is an average of 8% across all dungeons so far. Only 5/16 done. Total runs 60ish.

    Its looking like 1-5 runs for a drop is in the target range, with 6-8 runs being the range of the 1 standard deviation off 9-11 being two off.

    If the number of runs of people are correct, then AV and Copperbell HM seem to be the only one im seeing outside the 1-5 range, and not that often. Pharos Sirius however is way way out, near 20 runs. But i dont have as much data as I would like, and cant confirm its accuracy (angry people, ya know!).

    These numbers are an average across many many players. (so far 23 in my sample) However! Thank you for adding your numbers!

    It's SE RNG, with 98% HQ rate means you will repeatedly NQ an item.
