Getting to 30 - Getting Over the Triple Triad Beginner's Hurdle

It's true for Bahamut at least.

Yeah, probably true across the board. I got a double of Merlwyb yesterday and it sold for 600gp also.

I've got Onion Knight, 5 star card from Siren at Pharos Sirius, if you want to add it to the list

Wait, really? Onion Knight from Pharos? I've never read of anyone reporting that before (I don't check very often though).

ive ran pharos 20+ times for zodiac since patch n seen only siren card drop on 4 occasions 3 out of the 4 party members dropped the card doubtful onion knight drops there without providing proof

nvm I've found it in my inventory just after killing Siren, but I've probably got it from a WoD run I did before and didn't notice...

Any clue if there's card pack functionality besides RNG?... With a 1/8 chance at each card in a gold pack, I'm wondering why after hours of grinding I've gotten 4 straight Gerolts. The odds of that happening are ridiculous if it's really 1/8. Totally done with this trash. Better off doing dungeons/trials for cards than grinding the actual game you play with them... (which makes complete sense right?..) /ugh

Anyone know if doing the EX primals has a better drop rate on their cards than HM Primals? Prolly not enough data for that.

I think the whole ranking system needs to be redone. 30 cards is a lot for a beginner who doesn't know much about triple triad. IMO the first rank should be at 20 and the others adjusted accordingly.

Here's why. A LOT of the people you play against with a very narrow range of cards to choose from have a lot stronger cards than you do. The only real way to beat a most of them is by exploiting the rule set. Even then, sometimes the odds of winning aren't that great due to RNG. When I have a 1 star deck and 1 good card and the opponent has 2 3 stars, a 4 star and a 5 star that's not very fair is it?

I think the NPC's should play by the same rules we do.

I also think that HM/Dungeon card drops should be at least 50% if not 100%. A 10% or less drop rate is crazy when you have to have a set number of cards to even be relatively competitive.

Been running like 15 WP HM / NM last 2 days and Tonberry doesnt want to drop. Is the droprate for HM and NM the same? Anyone got it or any other card from the NM? It's making me crazy

[Garlyle]

unfortunately, data on drop rates, card pack rates, etc., is something we don't have yet. Few people are properly reporting card drops to begin with (See the person who thought Onion Knight was dropped in Sirius). So we don't know if there's differences between Normal/Hard dungeon drop rates (or Hard/Extreme Primals). I suspect that card packs are not evenly weighted towards each card (ie the chance of Warrior of Light from a gold pack is likely much less than 1/8), but who knows.
