Matoya's Relict - Heirloom Tunic of Casting

[Sforze]

I'm hesitant to drop this in bug reports, since I guess it could just be absolutely heinously, struck-by-lightning levels of bad luck, but I have been farming Matoya's Relict for over a month now consistently (several times a week, for a couple hours each day), and I have gotten just about every drop there except the Heirloom Tunic of Casting. I haven't seen it, my friends haven't seen it (both in my runs and in their own runs) -- what gives?




Am I alone in this suffering? Have I just been abandoned to die tunicless by RNGsus?

If the probability of an event is not 0.00 or 1.00, there are no guarantees.

It's 50/50; It'll either drop or it won't.


Anyway, does the trust run not give you a guaranteed item that you don't have for Matoya's? Seems like running it on a caster would eventually give you it because it's the only thing you don't have. I'm not sure in what instance that is or is not a thing.

Nevermind, it's a leveling dungeon thing. That's a bit "silly" that it isn't a thing for previous level cap dungeons.

TEEEECHNICALLY it's not 50/50, it's 1/however many other pieces of gear can drop from the chest that drops what you are looking for. Also what he said and what you said can both be true.

It's a fairly common probability joke. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

IMHO it's nonsensical that capstone dungeons are excluded from the "one piece guarantee" rule in general. What's the point of that?

Well for dungeons that are part of the current endgame, it's something to grind. Arguably the same deal for older dungeons, though it would be nice if they eased it up for outdated content.

RNG is RNG is RNG.

I do wish that they'd make postgame dungeons from old expansion give gear at the end like lvling dungeons do. I get them wanting you to farm current dungeons, but I think they can ease the grind on outdated content.

It's this.
Source: I am obscure glamours farming person, and run to this stupid situation all the time.

Example. Haven't entered in Grand Cosmos in a while, but one of my alts for whom i wanted the Warg set of fending never got the hand slot piece. I saw it drop first timeafter EW release, but I was on different character. Still, just seeing it was joyful thing actually, at least I know it exists now.

Recantly wanted some pieces from ARR dungeons. Both farms took +4 hours. It sux to see some same effin MNK or whatever gearpiece for the same slot you try to get say BRD piece to drop like 5th time...

Thanks, folks. I don't mind a little content grind for glams, but more than a month of repeated attempts, weekly, in hours-long bursts is a bit much to not see it drop even once. Guess I'll go pay the porxie another visit...
