Took me 2000ish before I got my mount, obviously rngesus thought it was necessary to then give me 5 more in my last 200. Everything besides eureka potions and materia(which I've made a ton of money off of from these loot boxes) is junk once you've gotten them once.

I wish more things dropped from the NMs themselves becauses even though that is still total rng it's way more rewarding to get than spamming a button 500 times until ur inventory is full of pot helmets and fireworks. Like I was legitimately excited when I finally got my scorpion harness the first time(the harness to me was what the hairpin is to a few people in this thread) it got to a point where I started solo killing scorpions to spawn serket for the train if they weren't there :P

Only thing I need now is the pazuzu alter which could take a while.
