There should be other ways to obtain the Field notes.

I agree with the comments about some sort of pity system needing to be implemented for trying to get field notes, especially in lacus litore and dalriada.

I've done 50 runs of dalriada trying to get the last note i need which is the menenious note part II with no luck, I've received 2x lyon notes part II and nothing else, not even the dino mount.

At this point I'm just going to keep track of how many dalriada runs I've done and submit a bug report for every run it doesn't drop. If the game is going to waste my time with a little to non-existent droprate on a field note, then I'll waste someone elses time with a tonne of bug reports. Law of equivalent exchange and all that.

Also as many have said as well, don't blast us who voice our opinion about not doing the 1v1 fights as we all know there a pain to get in to, and not everyone has the desire or the knowledge on how to cheese it, aswell as the right lost actions.

The devs wanted to make this content last as long as possible but they didn't consider making it enjoyable or rewarding and instead made it monotonous and repetitive. This thread is already 25 pages long, how many more will it take before the devs actually listen and realise their mistake.

Its quite funny but also sad to see the amount of people in my Dal runs who are just as annoyed as me when they get nothing out of that one chest...one person was even surprised that you can get them there.

Please SE, make it so that we can exchange the note of the last boss for one of them. You could make it even up to 50 of these...even that would still be fine because I at least have a end goal in mind. Now I have no idea when I get my last note.

Well, also the duels really don't feel like they work as intended due to requiring specific actions to survive with no forewarning. That's been one of my big pet peves with MMO RPGs in general that for some reason every single "extreme or savage" style piece of content has to lean on the unknown to actually be challenging. If someone is standing in the middle of a field and a suddenly they hear the noise of an airplane, followed by getting smacked by said airplane about a half second later, that doesn't qualify as a "forewarning".

Anyone else notice how FAF doesn't really spawn lately? I'm only in Bozja for CLL and killing star mobs when waiting but I pay attention to the spawns to shout out for others, I went through TWO CLLs in the same instance and no spawn. And people were activicly killing scorpions (there was a cluster farm). People tell others who don't have the bike "just do the duels????" when it doesn't even spawn enough to do so (then compound that with others trying and people coming in with built up noto from Zadnor).

As much as I like some of the mechanics, I find Lyon's fire buff duel in Zadnor silly. It doesn't say it that it's a buff on damage or making you vulnerable to something, it just adds a fire elemental to it, not straight out one shooting with a n auto attack lol.

I am already at my 7th Day trying to get lyon field notes. 52 runs of bozja and counting, i am so stressed out with this i am having to use some meds to calm me down.
I tried to do 1v1 and discovered that it stress me more tham castrum, most of the time i prep it Alone with no help at all only to lose the space on the fight to someone that survives for 30 seg, and after 5 tries only trying to get the fight i got busted half way on the fight because of latency.
This is not fun at all, it isn't even a grind, its a scam worse tham gacha games.

it just means that you have to be prepared before hand by bringing Lost Dispel.

So as of now I'm sitting at 56 runs of the dalriada with 2x lyon part II field notes and 10+ wrath of the harrier orchestrion rolls... nothing else.

Good to know my subscription is being used to make lady luck/RNG slap me and countless other playes in our respective faces repeatedly.

Something is going to give way soon and i feel it may be the playerbase's patience that'll go first.

Not everyone has the desire or skill to do the 1v1 duels for field notes.

Well i and every other player are entitled to voice our opinion/concern if we feel as though we're getting the raw end of the deal so to speak.

Anyway if you don't see another post from me then one of three things happened.

1. I finally got the field notes of menenius part II.

2. My account was banned/deleted for sending reports to the devs about this issue.

3. I rage quited.

I can tell you now though that options 2. & 3. Will have a higher droprate than the option 1.

Got Dabog II notes from Supersoldier Rising last night. Felt like winning the lottery. I doubt we're getting alternatives way to obtain these anytime soon. Best advice I can give is go do other content when Bozja starts getting ya down. Focusing on nothing but field note grind is for certain a fast track to burnout. I'm down to just Lyon II and Dyunbu and not feeling too pressed about it anymore since I've just accepted I'm gonna grind these out very slowly. Anytime I start feeling tilted in Bozja I stop and do other content. It helps a lot to zone into BSF or Zadnor with a fresh state of mind.

I get that, you have time to use it but the penalty on that is a single auto attack kill is hilarious/silly.
It is not like the longer the buff stays, the stronger attacks goes or turn the arena into flames, it is just odd.
