Yokai-Watch Event: Megathread Guide

[Weedies_Mithra]

I'm now 7/13 working on number 8

Tbh the droprate isn't so bad, i'd say its about the same as the current luminous crystals rate. Took me 44 hours and 696 fates. Best is to farm them while doing something else on the side. Just don't expect to drop one every 2 fates and it will be over before you realize it.

I got 20 Legendary medallions from 77 FATEs

I hate you. It took me roughly 20 gold rated fates to get one legendary medallion. I'm not certain I'm going to get that radioactive sperm mount.

Every two fates? You've had extremely good luck. Congrats. Some of us take 20 fates to get a medal. /pat I figure I'm going to need to do 4.5k at this point to get the second mount. I'm sure that'll take a bit long than 44 hrs. ;P

I said not to do the event expecting to drop them very often and not that i dropped a medal every 2 Fates :P

Best i had was 6 back to back, but thats it.

Yes, well, I'm going on 30 gold rated fates and still one medal so, yeah, you had extremely good luck. :P And you think 6 back to back isn't "so" good? LMAO. Please. I'm praying for the second medal before I hit 40 gold rated fates but it's probably not going to happen.

Some areas seem terrible for drop rates, Lower La Noscea constantly has me doing 25+ FATEs per medal. It also seems that FATEs which sync your level at 50 or above have given me close to no medals.

SE needs to adopt a smart RNG algorithm. Something with a baseline drop chance that increases each time the drop doesn't happen, and then resets to baseline when a drop happens. The variance between total FATEs completed for players with all the weapons is ranging between 700 and 900 FATEs completed. That's a really massive gap.

The drop rate is crazy. That's even worse than Atma.

I feel like a broken record, but once again, this is nothing like the pit of despair that was Atma on it's release. The drop rates were in the 1-2% for Atma back then and it was so bad that people were literally saying that you had to farm places at certain times in order to farm for the items effectively.

Just not worth the time to get the weapon that are just skins

Listen, I know you only have one class to 50, but they aren't going to be dropping weapons that are actually viable for in-game progress from an event like this. To a lot of people, these glamours are much more important than the best weapon in the game because these are limited time events with extremely unique skins.

Some areas seem terrible for drop rates

In my time doing this event, I've noticed quite a few dry spells in terms of getting Legendary medals and each time that they get next to unbearable, there is one thing that seems to be evident about the area. It seems that areas with low population may actually have lower drop rates (though this may be exaggerated by the fact that you can't do them as quickly as when you're with a big group). This is why areas like South Shroud, which always has a high population due to the Deep Dungeons being situated there, seems to have a much more stable drop rate even if you're soloing FATEs. Of course, there's still the chance that you are just abyssmally unlucky, and that's the unfortunate side effect of RNG.

Remember that there are a few rules to remember about having your minion out:

1. You cannot have a Companion Chocobo out
2. You must resummon your minion when you log in
3. You must resummon your minion whenever your character dies

The problem is that the content is not entertaining at all. The devs should've learned it from Atma. Why do they keep making content with the same method that is known for not entertaining?

Maybe the idea of having medals drop form other sources (Diadem, Palace, Leves, even Verminion? Not to mention Dungeons and roulettes) didn't occur to them (course instances forbade minions anyway)?

Or just make the YK watch add a temporary ability to our character and we use that ability to catch Yokai that randomly appear on the maps. Why using FATEs? And why the Atma style? As if it's the best activity that the fans desperately want to do and that the fans keep asking them to make more content like that. WE HATE IT, ok?
