Please buff the Legendary Yokai Medal droprate

[Zumi]

I am having trouble getting all the weapons. I have 5 more left to get and the last 3 I know require 30 medals each. I work 5 days a week I don't have time to play FFXIV all day every day and it takes me around 8 hours to get 15 medals.

So on my day off I set off to do 1 whole weapon I did Venocet. I took me from 10am to 6pm to get all 15. That is 8 hours for 1 weapon. Sometimes I would go 15 fates without a drop. For people who can play all the time this isn't a problem for them but for working people it is. Most of the days I only have maybe 2-3 hours to play so I get 2-3 a day usually.

This is due to the fact not too many people are doing fates having to solo them means they take so much longer.

I feel the drop rate should be changed to 100% on Legendary Medals.

This is a limited time event and we only have 1.5 months left I am not sure if I am going to even finish in time due to the randomness of it.

I would also like to see this done as I work and have a family. After doing the math, doing all of the weapons would put you at 500 to 700 FATES. I would really love to do this but with the current difficulty, it is better setup for a permanent event rather than a temporary one. Once I saw how much time it would take, I just said to myself, nope, nope, nope, not doing it, WAY too much time.

Zumi is correct, for a limited time event, significant adjustments should be made.

Unless it is intentionally this hard because they want us to buy the rest of the weapons we can not gather at $5.00 each in a few months on the Mog Station...

Won't happen the guy from Yo-Kai wanted it to be hard/time consuming to get all the weapons and 2nd mount and is good friends with Yoshi.

It is about a 30% drop rate, people are averaging 800 fates to get them all. Took me 720 fates for them all.

If they did buff it now all those who have completed it already would complain how it is unfair to change it midway through the event.

It's not really unfair in that you got to use the mount and weapons way before other people.

You are right. There is the key factor that this is a limited event, and the closer the event comes to ending, the bigger task 800 fates becomes, especially as less people are doing it because they are either done or burnt out. The event will need an extra injection of incentive in order to make it worthwhile towards the end. It won't happen yet but I can see something happening in mid september.

You must have no idea how much faster FATEs go when your solo.
While I was doing my daily hour or two of grind it was like the game was giving me a gift when i found an empty zone

The more people that finish or give up, the better it becomes for those still doing it

Also did all my fates solo and only region i did the beasty fate grind was western la noscea. I couldn't get myself to join the 2 fate train in outer. Some regions are great solo some less but only once or twice someone i was in party with for other things did fates with me.

Took me 786 fates and my droprate was at 28,3% at end which is imo pretty high for rng in this game. Also the more medals i had the faster i got em overall....

Now working on my 2 alts for the minions only but my low level alt struggles to find good regions to solo fates :/

That isn't really an excuse when you have nearly two and a half months to collect the weapons. The entire point of a limited event is the rewards obtained are, well, limited. Seeing how the 210 Anima grind hasn't been reduced despite vocal outrage, I sincerely doubt they will adjust the Yokai droprate at any point. If you math it out 800 Fates over 70 days, that amounts to just 11.4 Fates per day. Seeing that requires no more than an hour of time, it's not asking a lot.

We don't have 2 and a half months though, and that's my point, we have less than 2 months from today. A long tern limited time event fails if you have to have been there from the start to finish it, and someone should be able to come into the event mid september and be able to finish the event. Your example of Anima fails because the Anima is not limited, you can do it as slow or fast as you like and it will eventually be done, not so with yo-kai and the nearer the event ending we get, the more fates per day that you need to do (your 11.4 fates has already increased to 16 fates per day as of today, variance notwhithstanding) , and that is when the buffs need to be put in place.

The event hasn't been out for long - I feel like this would be a massive middle finger to those who grinded so hard. They've barely had chance to use the weapons and mounts themselves.

Do I think they should've done Yo-Kai differently from the start? Of course. Do I think they should buff it halfway through? No, not in my opinion.
