I cannot claim to have had such bad luck as you.

The simple reason is that I was tired of the 95% and 96% whiffs on collectibles weeks ago, and I added extra GP to my gear such that with food I am over 650 GP (actually, at 660 GP, but the extra 10 GP does nothing for me). This lets me Sharp Vision/Field Mastery as well as do the standard 600 GP collectible rotations, guaranteeing I get the items I've worked so hard to make collectible.

Given your luck you may want to consider such a move yourself.
