Hamlet Seal Drop Rate

[Magnesium02]

I got my nine seals by the time I was mid 40s for each hamlet. A third of my seals were through my LS using our dkp system based on effort and the rest were from groupd formed within a LS just for the purpose of hamlets, so based more on luck.

Other people I have talked to have had similar results with their hamlet totals, so it is probably reasonable to assume about 120-150 hamlet runs needed in total to get 9/9

With a group of 18 LS members going for relic, some faster than others, with about 70 hamlets per we've gotten most of them to have 6/9 seals. Starting today people will be finishing their 3rd seal for the hamlets. While I did do some extra hamlet runs to help, with a dedicated group of 8 people 40 runs per hamlet sounds about right to get 9/9

I am seeing a trend of when it rains it pours. Others have commented on this as well. (Seals dropping almost every run for a few days, then no seals for 14 straight runs.. all 60k+)

Hey guys, hamlet is boring and uninspired and is way too much of a time sink for the level of content it offers. Can we move on now and close this thread?

I keep changing my mind on this, ok hamlet drop rate is good well decent enough.

Seal drop rate is not great, the probliem being only 1 seal general drops at a time & it takes about 4~10 hamlet runs of 20 mins to get 1,2 maybe 3 seals. which isnt good nor fair as you need a group of 8 & those 8 people need seals & also many of those people dont know you only need to get the seals once, so they horde.

The seals should of been added to the beastman camps as drops instead plain, simple, easy, smart!.

But if they wanted to force hamlet on us so bad they should of made Seals item drop as an achivement award for every 1, 5, 10 hamlets you attend, therefore everyone could get them instead of this current hording when you only need 3, not helping after you have your 3 from that hamlet. e.t.c.
(i've said it before "They just dont think! or they just dont care!")

The only thing that makes getting seals from hamlet crappy (other than the fact that it's boring hamlet) is people being flaky/shady/rude/selfish/idiotic.

That's why you make sure you go with people who you trust/like/know wont leave after they get their 1 seal for the day without notice etc.

It's called making friends.
Such a lost art on most modern MMO players.

However; none of this has anything to do with the drop rate.
The drop rate isn't what's stopping players from getting their seals.
It's the randomness of the people they encounter in their pick up groups (or crappy linkshells).
