How I feel except with the Caster coat. 32 runs and I still have not seen in drop once.

Oh my God that suuuuuuucks!
I hope you can get it! Good luck~

So... you want them to do something about your having bad luck? Id love it if they could fix my luck too. Ive run orbonne at least 60 times(going back to when it was current) and i havent won the mini yet. Ill keep at it, and eventually it probly pops up in a mogtome event. I hope to have it before then, but i certainly wouldnt skip it because of something stupid like pride.

As for you, i wouldnt worry. In about 3 weeks the new patch will add the 2nd stage of the alliance raids for this tier. In order to upgrade current gear you need the coin from all the stages up to this point(so upgrading 5.2 gear takes 2 coins, and in a year upgrading 5.4 coins will take all 3). So a lot of people who dont currently run CF will start doing so again for their weekly coin. These people either dont care about the 2b outfit, or already have it.

Now you teach me something. How does one "filter runs to be only one caster in party"? Because im sometimes rolling against 4 or 5 other casters for gear drops, and id love to cut that down.

Yeah it must be really difficult to run something and have 3 identical copies of the item you want drop every single time. Bad rolls are bad rolls, but at least you get a chance at it every time you complete it. As far as grinding for loot goes, I think it's the most bountiful.

Maybe ask people in alliance chat if you can have one because you still don't have it yet? If they don't there's nothing you can do. I doubt SE will just give it to you because you ran it 30 times.

If I'm doing maths right on my phone calculator... (0.875) (x^y) (32) = 0.014 = only a 1.4% chance of doing 32 runs and not getting it once.

0.875 being your 7-in-8 chance of not getting it on a single run.

Bad luck just statistically happens sometimes.

Theoretically I could run the Drowned City of Skalla forever and never get the fending coat.

Theoretically I could send my retainer out forever and never have them come back with the special untraceable onion helm (the one you only get from them, not the other one).

Theoretically you could never get the special ring for getting 1st prize at the jumbo cactpot.

Man ... Thinking about it there are quite a few things we do in FF14 that do not guarantee the reward you're shooting for. In some ways that's scary, but in others it helps some activities (like fishing) feel kinda "at home" for me.
But I got the fending coat.
My retainer brought back that helmet.
AND YOU CAN GET THIS CHEST!

That's unforunate, I sympathize.

But it's also just really bad luck, it's unfortunate but not something that really needs to be changed.

[Frizze]

Did another orbonne last night, rolled a 3 on the mini. So i guess im going back again.

[Stepjam]

You only think like that until you get into that situation...

I have been in that situation. I farmed Ghimlyt Dark for like 8-10 hours in the week leading up to Shadowbringer's launch looking for the tank body piece. It was literally the only piece that never dropped for me. I still don't have it.

That said, it's just bad luck. I could have gotten it first try, and I have gotten other items with better luck before and after (like I was lucky to get the Bonewicca body set the first time it appeared in a run for me, was less lucky with the hat for a while).
