PLEASE CAP THE ZODIAC DROP RATE

[Boss_Koivula]

Trying to get the zodiac drops from the dungeons was by far the most horrific stage of the relic quest. I had to run multiple dungeons over 50 times just for a drop, and that ain't funny anymore. It's been over a month since the last time I was running any of the roulettes or doing dungeons just for a fun. I just cant run those anymore. RNG ruined the game for me outside raids and Golden Saucer.

Yeah I am not even happy about this anymore. I sat all night running 1 same dungeon.

Bad luck protection would be nice. I've got I think...7 more drops to get, and so far none of them have taken more than 5 times.

I can't imagine one of these taking 50.

You guys must understand that making faster drop rates for the Zeta weapon will result in having a lot of people getting their i135 weapon too early and then zerg content / run out of goals too fast. Being more casual players than the people who do raids they will probably go play another MMO and SE WANTS to keep you busy until 3.0 release...

Plus take into consideration that the i135 relic grind being easy it has AT LEAST to be long otherwise there will be no balance at all with the Dreadwyrm weapons.

(I dont raid much and it took me 37 Hullsbreaker Cave to get the drop so i know what this is about)

I would say that the zodiac/zeta steps are WAY better then the animus/novus when they were released.

I finished my Novus weapon for nin Last week(monday). Lightfarming until this Monday to get Nexus. And since yesterday i got my Zodiac. Maybe iam just "that" lucky or something changed. the most urn i had was Wanders Palace 11 times. I had more of a droprate of this stuff like 1-3 runs tops. And so its back to lightfarming....... i realy cant see Garuda anymore :x.

I Agree on the Cap idea of this thread . Nobody should need 55 runs to get an Item. I think it should be 10 runs tops. Since Atma and Alex already got a "slight" buff on drops from Fates. I Think the Doungen Items will also get a "slight" buff in the Future. So If people want to be ready for Heavenward with Fukll Zeta Zodiac they "could" if they got the time.

I will finish my Zeta and Relax with that.

Having Two and soon to be 3 Zeta weapons, I've notice the Zodiac quest MAY to have (IMO) some sort of bug to it. I've noticed, I never got drops with too many open quest in my log. I've noticed, If the last boss room isnt colored RED the drop rates is really low maybe closer to 0 chance of getting a zodiac drop. This is PURE superstiton and is not backed by stats, Just things, I've noticed going thru this quest line 3 soon to be 4 times now. Good luck everyone!!

***rembeber this is just what "I've" noticed. Not backed by stats***

The cap idea, I dont know.....maybe it the futrue. Its a bit early to cap run rates now. I wish evryone All the luck in the World.

I really want to know about, does the boss room show an orange circle?

I have the exact feeling, that after the patch. Something BROKE on me, I was getting decent drops before patch.

Anything of interest in your log will be colored in Red or orange when you go near it. Now, having too many open quests in your log will limit the amount of areas in game that will be colored red/orange. Try opening 20 quests at one time, you will not have a red circle around every area of interest. This COULD be just a limitation of the game system. ( but why risk it, clear out those old quest) Again, this all superstiton not backed by stats. Boss areas will be shown in red when the zodiac quest is active as one of your top 5 open quest. You can still get drops without the red area but the drop rate SEEMS to be very LOW, I've gotten drops about 1/20 times. With the red colored boss room my drop rate might be 10/20. Again guessing, I don't keep stats.
