Thank you for sharing this thorough information. Very fascinating.

Have you noticed an effect from the moon phase?

Normally getting IV is rare for me, but recently I got 8/10 IV materia (4 in a row) and noticed it was a full moon.

It might very well be a coincidence but thought it would be worth mentioning to someone who has the resources to test this out as I do not.

Thanks again for this info and all your other great posts, I look forward to your future articles.

P.S. Have you derived the changes in strategy of the Darkhold raid since 1.19? I have not been able to find this info anywhere and would love an update.
