Whats with the drop rates SE?

[AegisXI]

They should improve the drop rates a little, but not to a point where u can get it in a couple tries, but thats just me lol. Im just really fortunate getting items pretty quick and think its fine, because I know for a fact that getting equipment before abyssea from 11 is x10 harder.

You can try it.. but they aint listening dude

[AegisXI]

just voicing my opinion lol. I don't mind it now because it keeps the game going lol

As I'm typing this.. We've been sitting infront of the copper zahar'ak coffer chest, we've killed this guy for at least 30 times, I'm not even counting anymore, we've got one key so far.

What makes this retarded?

First of all, to get one key out of 30 something kills is really a pain.

Secondly, to even obtain one key, to get another "random" chance to actually obtain the desired item out of the chest when all the other things in it are pure garbage.

Oh and I don't even want to mention about killing ifrit 20 times and only obtaining one measly totem for all those kills.

Why do you want people to spend a lifetime trying to obtain these things SE? The items in the chests not THAT good anyways, yeah they're set items and you get a neat little achievement if you collect them all, but still, you can make much better gears with crafting. Hell, you'd probably level a craft from 0 to 50 before ever getting a complete set of things from these coffers.

Seriously though, I'm only half serious when I'm writing this post and it's 4 a.m while being at this spot for 2-3 hours already. Even now when I'm finishing this post we've only still got 1 key total.

Raise the droprates of KEYS. I don't mind opening the chests a couple hundred times to actually obtain the items, but not even getting a key for hell of a many kills is just wrong.

Don't make this game a pain to play, make it fun SE.

I agree. I hate farming for hours to have a chance to get a key in strongholds and then only have a small chance to get actual said item. Double negatives is just bad! Make drop a lot but keep the items from chest at a low rate or vice versa. Getting totems and weapons from the primals is a joke, I know people who got their desire weapon within 3 tries but I have yet to get the bow from Ifrit after more kills than I can count. Totems should have like a 50% chance to drop per person, and then split accordingly if people want to give up their totems to LS mates or group members. I am not asking for them to hand me anything but I would like for them to at they very least be reasonable.

P.S. Much RDM <3.

Good Game guys! this is a % (rate)... someone lucky other not (after 200+ run of ifrit i'll never seen my Ifrit's Claws ç_ç)

Their algorithms could be... less broken. I've gone over 0/30 keys, 0/20 chests, and on one occasion went 6/6 keys and those same keys went 6/6 on the chest. True story.

Well people wanted a challenge...nostalgic for XI...welcome to XI-2 . Seriously though, sorry you are having such a hard time with the drop rates :/ This is why I never got involved in things like this in XI. I just didn't have the time to dedicate. I hope you get those drops soon...I would be crying T_T

Low drop rates or weekly timers. Choose your poison and stop complaining about developers trying to keep people playing for more than 3 days.

[Zezlar]

I'm fine with the drop rates. What i'm not fine with is getting 4x repeat Mog Wands. Three of which were consecutive drops!

[syntaxlies]

for my shell(this is pre 1.20 when kills were prob faster) our average was 2 hours per drop for a full party usually having 3 mrd in it.
