    A question about Sector 17 and the materia from there. I have gotten so many IV Craftman's Comp (Craft +6) materia but virtually no IV Craftman's Command (Control +4). And well I would prefer the latter at this moment in time.

    Is it just RNG being a troll to me and deciding to not give me any Command - or is there a higher chance to get that materia type from another Sector..? @_@

    99% sure it's RNG. But, there's a 1% chance the drop rate for Crafts is just higher - I know I always seemed to get more Crafts IVs than Command IVs from the start from that sector. I haven't analyzed that data though, and dunno if I have enough datapoints for it anyway...

    I'll go with the latter, a quick check on people's data shows that craftsmanship has a higher drop rate than control, also 3.2 data seems to point out there's more than just rng going on for crafting materia, airships with low surv/retrieval barely get them anymore compared to pre 3.2.
