Some of the RNG is nuts...we need to get rid of it

[Knot_D]

pentamelding RNG is just a tip of an iceberg... Eureka's NM RNG drops on the other hand...

(I ended up buying Cassie Earring...)

I just want the dang healing dress from the 3rd Nier raid to drop! I swear I've never seen it drop in my life

Boy. Maybe just don't pentameld. It's not a requirement for anything.

Good ol' ocean fishing RNG, where you have to get a bite from a spectral fish, actually hook it successfully, then still pray it actually triggers a current, then further pray you get any bites from fish worth significant points.

I think they should at least increase the odds of triggering a spectral current with each spectral fish caught, because getting a longer current as a pity mechanism doesn't matter if you still can't actually trigger one.

Boy. Maybe just don't pentameld. It's not a requirement for anything.

For extreme levels of crafting or gathering, pentalmelding, while not being a must, is highly advised. Otherwise RNG will work you hard.

RNG itself is fine by me

but RNG with multiple layers of RNG upon it is what makes me mad

[Shibi]

Please look forward to housing RNG when the Ishgard rush is over and we return to one available house a week.

You're extremely deluded if you think FFXIV has bad RNG.

Are you referring to bad in quantity or bad in quality? Because the RNG seeds in this game tend to be terrible.

At least you can use the crystal, but the Pom Bokos can't even be desynthed.

Sell the Bom Boko for 60 gil.

Buy a crystal of your choice for 40-50 gil and end up 10-20 gil ahead.

Why do you still want to Penta melding gear?

Crafters don't need it right now because all "new" and "hard" to craft stuff is already extremely cheap on the market board, and not much new will come with the next patch.
For fighting classes you can just use 2 melts because penta meld gear is just really needed in the first 4 weeks.
