Steps:
1. The Bozja field notes are expected to have a very low drop rate due to the rarity of some of the notes and the novelty of the collectible mount. However, something doesn't seem right, as we've had groups of people for days (anecdotally weeks) who are struggling for single drops even when Fates/CEs are spawned.

2. To add to this, in order to have a chance at a rare note, the CE order of the instance must automatically load a specific Fate/CE, which can take upwards of 90+ minutes to spawn without player assistance.

3. With points 1+2, with a note drop rate of <1% (this seems akin to Atma drop rates in 2013 before drop rate increases), players are not only struggling for single note drops, but they are also working to spawn instances for upwards of 90 minutes of time, and even when a duel is an option for one of the notes, the player cannot receive any vulnerability stacks and deal with competing with others with similar notoriety for a chance a duel, adding a third layer of random sequencing.

4. If this is working as intended, awesome. But I think this needs to be reviewed, as we've encountered a similar situation with the E12N triple triad card where it was confirmed that there was an issue with the drop rates. I firmly do not believe that the drop rates were artificially set to unobtainable lows to keep the content relevant for 6 months until Endwalker.
