    I disagree with that. They could instead use a system of average. That way you could atleast work towards your goal consistently.
    Which is your idea of ''after 100 clears your guaranteed a drop''.


    If something has a 10% drop chance, then after a 100 kills you should be at or near 10 drops, as simple as that. Not 5-20. (50%-200%)

    Did this 5 times, 150K Gil, 70% 'success' rate. Moved my bar less than 5 points when it was all said and done.

    I love it when I fail SH II+HT consecutively. Statistically the chances of 80% failing 4 times in a row is 2.5%. Why am I seeing that 2.5% constantly during crafting sessions? Yoshi-P needs to buy a new 1d100.

    When you see this starting to happen, look down at your Exper bar. I can rely on Hasty up to around 85% of a level, then I need to switch to over leveled crafting or trash mats. Hasty fail just before you are about to level seems to go up 500%. It's gimmicky and not very effective in preventing the leveling but does kill HQ factor quite well.

    Even with the desynth example I gave. 70.85 to 70.99 is where all the botch happen. 71.85 to 71.99 and so on. I need to keep the bar in view and switch out to Patrician Gloves. They have the same % though with Patrician gloves I only get .01 to .04 from each one. It's a bleeder mechanic designed to leech more time sink.

    RNG can really suck, but all you can do is keep tryng or give up and do the run only when you need to.
