    Plundered Items still drop in Shposhae?

    Has anyone gotten any Plundered Bliauds or Plundered Jackets from Shposhae lately? I managed to get a Plundered Jacket from the Electrum chest prior to the 1.19 Shposhae hotfix on Oct 6. but now It seems impossible to get! I've opened just about 30 Electrum chests and 10 Rose gold chests and not a single Plundered Bliaud or Jacket. Either SE messed with the drop rates and made them impossible to get or I'm extremely unlucky. *sidenote* I gave away my old Plundered Jacket so I don't have conflicting "unique" items in my inventory.

    Patch note here

    Post states: "The amounts of gil and types of items obtainable from treasure chests that appear in Shposhae have been adjusted."

    Can anyone confirm either of these Plundered Items dropping after this hotfix? To confirm, I've received other Plundered items like Sollerets and Plate Belt from the Copper and Silver chests respectively on Nov 5th.

    I complained about this change when it was made. The items still drop but obviously the drop rates are abysmal to say the least.

    I have received all of the plundered items from the chests over the last two days 13-14th November 2011.

    It took about 8 hours non-stop farming to collect them all.

    You could argue that the drop rate is now too low. The time and effort required to acquire the items is no greater than the time and effort required to level up the jobs themselves and make that gear useless.

    Still I like to collect the sets so from that point of view it wasn't a total waste of time.
