We need to talk about the Stuffed Bom Boko

[SenorPatty]

First of all...it's cute, okay. It really is, okay? okay. Get it out of your system now because it's time to rant.

SECONDLY, before EW, I used to get at least one "common" dye minimum every week, as long as I sent all 3 of my retainers on hourly ventures, over a period of 3-5 hours. I used to also get one black or white at least once a month. Sometimes I'd get lucky and get those every two weeks.

I'm not getting any of that now, even with my retainers wearing EW's AF gear (they're all combat jobs). But I am getting the really cute stuffed bom boko alot. Something has happened in the rng coding of the Quick Exploration. And while I utterly and completely despise the "Am I the only one who bla bla bla" question...(deep breaths) I gotta ask. I gotta break my own code and let all the cells in my body recoil in cringe:

Am I the only one that's getting this sort of rng from Quick Exploration?

EDIT: Btw, I forgot to add, I'm not even getting common dyes anymore. Haven't gotten a single one. Forget black and white, I don't even get weird Woad Blue dye or something like that.

I haven't seen dyes or minions since EW dropped. Mostly random dungeon gear.

Gotten plenty of Stuffed Alphas, though.

Same, this and Bom boko, never a dye - and im having max retainers with 2x 3 gathers on max and 2/3 battle classes at max... its annoying. And when theres gear it tends to be from teh same levels...

They definitly toned down the dyes though...

[Vahlnir]

It appears that they locked the venture coffers behind lvl 90 retainers. I've only gotten 2 or 3 of them since capping one of my retainers though. Working on more at the moment to hopefully increase my chances.

My retainers keep bringing me back excessive numbers of Bom Bokos since the launch of EW and at this point I'd rather they bring me literally anything else.

Yup its really strange ! maybe they want us to buy the dye from the mogstation ... surely not right ?

*Gets comfy tinfoil hat* If someone from the cash shop department received any information regarding rates and quantities of rare dyes the playerbase got...a ninja patch to edit rng values could've happen.

But really, the bom boko invasion has gotta stop.

After that venture chest was added I got less dyes, could be bad RNG but you never know.

If it's just about dyes, that's one thing, but those coffers are also the only way to get Retainer Fantasias, which are not sold on Mog Station.

Prior to the loot redesign that introduced the venture coffers, they were maybe 1000 gil each. Now they're rare and the price keeps creeping up. Currently around 40,000 gil on the server I'm logged into now, which is expensive enough that it doesn't seem worthwhile making edits to retainers for the price.

[Shibi]

Hmmmm, I dont recall a venture box for a while now. My retainers are not yet 90 I think they are lollygagging on the beach.



One Bom Boko so far, 15 Alphas. 2 pieces of Augmented Cryptlurker, and a lot of other junk too.
