    EX Primal Pony drop Rate

    Has anything happened to the drop rate of these mounts since the introduction of Triple Triad and cards as drops within extreme primals?

    I've literally been farming Ramuh and Leviathan the majority of the week, 3-4 hours a day, and I've seen minimal results compared to patch 2.5.

    Today I've spent around 6 hours farming Ramuh and I've seen 2 ponies.

    Is anyone else experiencing a seemingly decreased drop rate on these mounts since 2.51 or has this just been really bad luck the entire week?

    Started farming Shiva pre-2.5 and continued post-2.5 for the pony.

    Have over 80 wins.

    Haven't seen the pony drop once. From what I can tell it has a <1% drop rate.

    Pre-2.5 My FC probably did 40 runs and never saw a pony.

    We did 12 post 2.5 and saw 4 ponies!

    RNG is RNG. But it's definitely not 1% anymore.

    We got 4 ponies in a row the night before last from Shiva, but before that we'd only seen it twice out who knows how many runs.

    Atma rate is supposedly 12.5% right now, and it took me 5 hours to get one in eastern thanalan when I was doing it for white mage a couple of months ago. Just how things go sometimes.

    I've done a little over 30 Garuda EX runs and saw three ponies drop. That puts it at close to 10%. Of course it seemed like less because the first one didn't drop until clear 22.

    In my most recent shiva farm we did 6-7 runs. Card dropped twice, pony never.

    One night, I did a string of Garuda Extremes to get my entire group Garuda ponies (for real). One person already had it, so we were only going for seven. It took us 30 runs to get 7 ponies. So, 7/30 = 0.23, or 23%. If I had to guess off of my experience alone, the droprate is either 20% or 25%. It may be less than that. Possibly 10-20% for other sample sizes as large as ours. However, as cited above... some people go for dozens of runs and don't see a single pony. So, it's all a mystery unless we truly add up a huuuuuuuge sample size, but I don't think anyone is dedicated enough to document that.
