This is a Pagos Myth. There are no guaranteed drops, you can get more than 1 drop per FATE. People just think this because of the absurdly low drop rate. But I assure you I have seen more than one Speed Belt drop from Artho, and I have seen 0 earrings drop from Cassie (in a group of 16 people, we checked).

I haven't heard this one before so no Idea if this is true, but at least the people who have the Optical Hat think its guaranteed.
