Just a regular day of TT

As for QQ threads go.. The reason some people complain is for some the drop rate is pathetic even for not so rare cards. I have hard of behemoth being granted by king in first try, 3rd try, but average seems to be according to shout chat 50 Tries. Well I have won 200 games got 20 Godbert and still no Behemoth card. I am just trying to get 30 cards to start winning with as most ex parties are terrible, and HM drop rates are meh. Plus I can win against King Elmer while watching netflix... but still 200 wins and no drop is absurd when most seem to have gotten it with just an hour or two of farming him. I have spent 4 hours a day since launch on him and still not gotten it.

oh so i have been lucky on behemoth lost 50% of the time and got 1 card and that was behemot!

5 star cards with only the NPC dropping them seem to be quite a bit better for the drop rate. 5 star cards with NPC and a DF seem to favour the DF method. I could not get gaius from the imperial, but got on my first try in DF for praetorium.

I believe thats incorrect. All 5 stars from NPCs seem to share the same random droprate. The 3 from NPCs only that I obtained all took me several hours each, but I've heard of several others getting them a lot faster, even multiple ones.

Controversially I've yet to see any DF card drop. Whatever the drop rates on NPC or DF cards are, I think it's fair to say they are incredibly random.

This was meant to be side content and yet I'm seeing people grind this harder than zodiac and gear. Everything in this game right now are huge grinds on top of luck of RNG. Then to pour salt in the wound we got a TT tourney coming up, joy. Wasn't there a slide somewhere from one of the live Q&A with the quote "If its not fun, we're doing it wrong." Well...

I think you may have answered your own question there. It's a Japanese-developed MMO. Eastern MMOs have a tendency towards being grindy, to the point of excess. That's just how they like them over there, I suppose. Unfortunately it means FFXIV has... a long, tedious grind in virtually all of its worthwhile aspects. Which stinks. I love the game a lot, but my loathing for grinds has it so I haven't progressed beyond Zenith for my Relics, haven't leveled even half of the classes, and have barely glanced at Crafting and Gathering.

Its really hard rng.... farmed Battle on the Bridge a lot and not got Gilga til now. Yesterday i did latest Hildibrand quest and enabled Keep and lucky as i am i got Bartz as a Firsttimer ^^

I hope you have luck with it.

I have since replicated this deck and strategy, and can say with utmost confidence that it is fantastic. I've never had such a good win rate against the Indolent Imperial until this deck. Thanks again for posting!

Glad it's working for you! I still don't have Gaius, but he is an awesome NPC to farm for MGP regardless.

Just wait until you have 60 unique cards and can build a Scion deck. I don't even have to think anymore he just can't combat the raw power!!

Right now I use Mountain Dew Bahamut Blast, the 2-stars the Imperial drops, and 2 2-star Beastmen. All of his cards tend to have weak sides on the top or bottom, so you can bait with Bahamut middle and then counterflip with the generally-well-rounded 2* beastmen.
