Zodiac Quest Dungeon Items

[Zophar]

#1 and #2 weren't bad, but #3 was horrible. And now I'm thinking of starting #4. I think I need an intervention.

I'm glad that I am done, but I do hate the RNG of this quest. I hope they fix it soon! Many people are having really bad luck with the drops.

I think I'm right on the "average"
6/16 drops and about 60 dungeons run
i queue up multiple runs so am not keeping track of specific dungeons.
longest dry spell so far is/was 37 runs.

Can you obtain the dungeon items as another job, once the quests are active of course?

Yes! And you can even obtain them while equipped with a Novus weapon (to get Nexus light), which is how the crazies with multiple Zodiacs do it.

You need an intervention. Or a sedative. Or another game to play.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm really fed up by all this RNG-shit. I got all the 2000 light in only 3 days. I was encouraged beside the huge grind. Because I could see a little bit progress every time I killed Lady Garuda. But this RNG-crap really makes me wonna stop playing FFXIV. I don't count any longer how many runs I did, but today was again a super awesome day: I played 5 hours this evening and didn't get on single item. Basically I wasted 5 hours, because I didnt get one f*cking step closer to my target.

Get it SE: RNG makes no fun because it's the worst feeling in a game ever, when you waste x hours and cannot advance one single tiny step.

Just finished my Zodiac drops yesterday. I guess RNGus took pity on me for my horrid alexandrite drop rates, and allowed the dungeon drop phase to go smoothly.

Quest 1:
Dzemael Darkhold: 1/1
Brayflox Longstop (Hard): 1/4
Halatali (Hard): 1/1
Snowcloak: 1/2

Quest 2:
Aurum Vale: 1/1
Haukke Manor (Hard): 1/6
The Lost City of Ampador: 1/1
Satasha (Hard) 1/1

Quest 3:
The Wanderer's Palace: 1/1
Copperbell Mines (Hard): 1/8
Hullbreaker Isle: 1/2
The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard): 1/2

Quest 4:
Ampador Keep: 1/7
Pharos Sirius: 1/2
The Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard): 1/5
The Stone Vigil (Hard): 1/2

Total Zodiac Drops: 16
Total Dungeons: 46

Zodiac Drop Rate: 34.78%

Please don't take this post as me gloating; more than anything, it shows how messed up this RNG system is. It's really unfair that some people have amassed more runs trying to get the drop from a single dungeon than others totaled getting all 16. Like I said at the beginning-- I got utterly hosed with alexandrites, so I feel your pain. Hopefully, patch 2.55 will address the abysmal drop rates some folks are experiencing.
