Early to Rise hairstyle drop rate

[Tint]

(even worse considering the market board fee. Don’t know what that’s for).

The market board fee is essentially just a Gil sink. Like the repair fee and teleport fee it is meant to take Gil out of the game to slow down the inflation.

This. SO much this. Delubrum gives you fragments I can't unlock because I don't really want to DO Bozja. But I have to and farm all these resources to make my runs faster, and since RNG is RNG I could go through five runs and not get a single drop. Why bother farming if nothing I do is actually pushing me closer and is actively hurting my attempts to brute-force the RNG?

It's so stupid, not to mention how the Lost Finds Holster works with you losing actions you swap out. And I don't get gil for ANY delubrum run, Silver coins ONLY go towards Law's Order gear and frankly does nothing for me - I have better gear already, or will be getting it and it as a stopgap is useless.

So I have these coins I don't need...I don't get gil for delubrum runs, I just get doom and despair.

I agree. I've ran out of essences for all of my jobs after around 150 DR, and I don't feel like farming them any more, let alone buying them (rng gives me most of the time useless lost actions instead of essences when I appraise a fragment anyway). There is no way to enjoy the feeling of being a hamster running a wheel for ever and for nothing. And that is the feeling I get by now.

I reached 60 runs (4 relics) a while back. 0 bardings, hairstyles or mounts. I won't be going back in for them, I put the best essences and actions into every run, lost a few hundred thousand mettle from getting tankbusters to the face whenever the tanks died and while I enjoy DR as a concept, the fact that players are practically discouraged to use essence/actions because they need to be farmed/bought and the sheer length of the raid for no other real reward besides a relic token, means it just isn't worth the time investment.

I had fun in there, but the rewards might as well not exist.

I've done 60 runs and I've gotten nothing. Not a mount barding or hairstyle >_<

[Vaern]

Had nothing for my first 60+ runs, then managed to get the hairstyle and the mount in 3 runs on the same day.
Someone sent me a screenshot where they got both at the same time in ONE single chest.
RNG is RNG, you're way better off farming gil and buying those than hope to get them. They're like a bonus as of now because you can't grind for them, except griding gils to buy them.

The only issue with that is how some people can buy out an entire stock and resell for an absurd price. When the price of the hairstyle was finally starting to drop. Someone bought all of them and tried to resell them at an absurdly inflated price..which promptly restarted everything.

Such is a player driven free market.

I'd be willing to bet we see an increase in drop rates with 5.5 in a few weeks.

[hobostew]

Did they ever increase the drop rates on the one out of Eureka? HoH/PoTD?

They did on the Shiver emote and I'm sure others as well. Whether or not they're ready to do that with 5.5 remains to be seen.
