68 runs, 10 of which were with friends, and the rest with trusts. 11 orchestrion rolls and finally the bird on the 68th run. Good thing WAR is unstoppable so I could cut the trust runs down to 20-22 minutes. I did fantasia from Bunny girl to meaty Roe man after the 55th run so maybe that turned my luck around!

There's wanting instant gratification, and then there's pining for the sweet release of death and lemme tell you, for an expac about keeping hope alive; I was absolutely despairing and about to blaspheme!

Still not as bad as the Al-Iklil grind though, because I wasn't waiting an hour between dungeon runs, but at least that had the alternative of waiting to do duels instead. hopefully they'll give it the same treatment as the Unique and unstradable Nier Minions in future; Make it a guaranteed drop and can only roll on it if not owned/possessed, because I don't wish anyone to drone through 58 trust runs like I did...
