Coffers in Alliance Raids!

5 runs and you complain...

My record is 40

Reminds me of my early days in Rabanastre trying to get the SAM chestpiece. Pretty sure I went at least 30 runs before I saw it drop.

My record is 40 and I don't create a topic to say it.

it's not a contest

the fact is that alliance raids are the only duties that award gear without a guaranteed way to obtain a specific piece that you want. in savage you're eventually guaranteed to get one thanks to pages, and extreme trials drop weapon coffers now in addition to a single weapon. in eureka it was tied to farming a currency, and it was the same in bozja too. so why not alliance raids?

Alliances AND level-cap dungeons, including ones no longer at cap.

I don't think they've even added weapon coffers for the Baldur and Crimson Lotus weapons.

Gear for levelling dungeons is handed out freely at the end of each run, but level-cap dungeons never get updated to do the same and some really good glamours remain very difficult to acquire.

They are less generous with the amount of pieces dropped per run compared to alliance raids, so even fewer opportunities for RNG to turn up the right piece.

only real case for level cap is for the 3rd dungeon giving out gear/right side that will be slightly better and give extra vit for DRU. otherwise it serves no real purpose other than glamour

Glamour is the real purpose for these items in the long term. They have no gameplay value. Nobody is running St Mocianne's Arboretum for, what, i180 gear? They're running it for the Plague Doctor and Thief sets – and you can run and run and run it and never see the piece you need.

The level 59 and 61 dungeons give me a free piece at the end of every run, so why doesn't the level 60 dungeon?

it took me like 2 years to even see the WoD maiming boots
the one time they dropped i wasnt on DRG

the dark ages of no alliance roulette and when people wanted to do CT raids

Nothing should be tied to pure rng.

Nothing should be tied to pure rng.

Im on the mindset of "selective rng". In that some rng can be good, as long as its fun.

But I would just honestly request a guaranteed item piece drop, or at least make the tokens that drop to be used for either augment a tomestone piece or purchase any of the raid items.

[Cincierta]

Yes, please.

My brain is still rather melted after farming Breach for a week for a singular drop with my tank friend. We can hear the raid music while not in the game, and he can hear it in his sleep still.
