Delubrum reward drop rates

[Amadare]

I've run Delubrum 32 times so far, and my wife 27. We haven't seen a single item drop from the gold chests.

Now normally I wouldn't be like 'wow this is wild' except for the Hairstyle. It seems weird that the winner of the contest and arguably the most popular hairstyle of the bunch is locked behind a system of just sheer luck for content that takes on average 40 minutes per run if you have a good group.

At the very least, make some the items purchasable with silver/gold coins! Or at least just make the hairstyle purchasable. I don't see why the long awaited winner of the hairstyle design contest is the roughest one to obtain and why it isn't also backed up with the option to purchase it.

I hope this doesn't come off as whining! I don't mean it to. It just feels very hrmmmm for a game that's usually so good about not needing wild grind times for items (Within reason) put in content that is taking nearly 40-50 runs to even see a chance at a gold chest drop, especially when the content takes roughly double the time of any alliance raid run.

I just hope I'm not alone in this? Usually I'm so happy with the content in FFXIV but the Bozja stuff feels....I dunno. Kinda eh.

There have been other threads making the same observation. Likely this is intentional so as to keep the content populated. Especially considering it's now required for those wanting to advance their relic weapon, and that many neglected Bojza and are now having to catch up.

There are better ways to do this though! They've been really bad this patch with incentivizing people to do Bozja content, like not making the CEs a 100% drop chance for memories but the Alliance raids are way higher a drop chance. I feel like onced people have their Law's Order gear they're gonna stop running Delubrum.

I know your pain. I've done 43 runs myself, and I plan to stop at 50 because I'm sick of it and want to have a life again -laughs- ;;;
As for drops, I've only got the mount (today, at run 42). Not like I wanted it, but at least I can sell it for money that will help me buy the hairstyle later, for I'm sure I'll end up having to buy it.

Meanwhile, I know at least two people who got it on the first try. Such is the "exciting" RNG world (x_x)

I've gotten a tabletop piece twice and the music roll twice. Haven't seen anything beyond that yet. For things like the mount or hairstyle, I don't think it would hurt to have them available for purchase from the vendor that we can buy the judge gear from...for a pretty large cost of silver coins, of course. But people would still feel like they are making progress.

The latest content of the game is making it look like a Korean grinder. I know why, they're trying to stretch content out to 6.0
The difference is that Korean games are predominately free to play at all levels. This game, if you give it an extended break you lose your house.
Not good SE, you need to do significantly better.

I agree, but it seems they're leaning more toward the stick than the carrot so to speak.

They already said they're going to be nerfing drop rates outside of Bozja while no word if they're going to be increasing them within.

I got the hairstyle on my first run of Delubrum (and haven't seen it since); literally no one else I know has seen it drop yet. Meanwhile, someone else in my FC got five of the Gabriel lockbox mounts in the first week and a half of Bozja being out; I'm probably around 1000 lockboxes deep at this point and still have yet to see it once. (Though I could probably bury the IVth Legion alive in Indigo Star prisms if I weaponized them...)

RNG gonna RNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Though they did say something during the liveletter about a hotfix to adjust drop rates of various Bozja-related things. I'm just not sure if that was in regards specifically to the memories in Skirmishes/Critical Engagements, or more across-the-board.

MY wife initially didnt wanna do it, got the mount on the first kill... just like she got the other mount from the first few lockboxes she opened.... >_>

It's all on purpose. Yoshi knows full well no one wants to touch eureka style content even with long stick, so he hides nice rewards behind it. Lucky are these who have gil prepared to buy rewards off MB.
