Please add a pity system for dungeon gear!

[Amh_Wilzuun]

I have been farming the new scouting top from Mistwake for almost two days of play now and have probably put in close to 50 runs now (yes I have fallen victim to sunken cost fallacy, yes I have nothing better to do on my winter break). I want it for a glam and didn't want to wait potentially months to get it through passive expert roulettes and having to always run Viper/Ninja (for need safety) on those vs all of the jobs I have at 100.

For gear that is NOT DYEABLE and has mediocre ilvl it should not be this torturous. They advertise the new dungeon gear every patch so they should know that people would want to farm it for glam. I don't think they intentionally made getting gear from a casual story dungeon for babies a miserable grind, they just did not put enough thought into the loot tables and the player experience.

The job you go into the dungeon with has NO effect on the loot chance so if you even if there's a party with no Monks or Samurai you might get striking gear for multiple previous chest slots. The chest piece specifically can only drop from two of the dungeon chests where they share slots with the accessories that can already drop from all of the hallway chests. So for every 15 minute dungeon run you have one 4% chance and one 7% chance to get a given item. I've had better times getting a pesky gem in monster hunter because at least there you can influence RNG in small ways. I've also seen EVERY OTHER FREAKING CHEST PIECE MULTIPLE TIMES adding to the frustration. There should be at least one loot slot in the final chest that only drops for jobs in the duty too.

This is not a prestigious item, it shouldn't be rarer to see than a freaking EX whistle. Since I have run this godforsaken dungeon 50 times this also means I have spoent as much time it would take in duty (excluding wipes and set up) as it would get to a 2 totem EX whistle through that pity system. Please make it so that completing a dungeon gets you a token you can use to buy any piece of gear you want. It should legit cost only 20 runs at most. If people want to complain about clutter it can be an optional personal chest or something.

And this is a dungeon ON CONTENT with instant queues, farming older dungeons can be even worse

funny part is that it exists, but only for X1-X9 dungeons for no reason. in those dungeons you get a piece for your current job, that you already don't have at the end.

Combat-unrelated main hopes for 8.0...

#1: Appearance Catalog/Collection. Binding an item to yourself switches the hidden psuedo-acheivement for the given item from 0 to 1 and you have it for life.

#2A: The items for unlocked appearances can be purchased from a Calamity Salvager for some multiple of their repair price.

#2B: Instances' loot lists filter themselves against the players' party's appearance collections, filtering out items whose appearances are already possessed. (Though this doesn't in itself give a bonus drop per player per run, it would make completing a set far, far faster than even that.)

Same. I'm super tired of getting tons of accessories and dupe gear pieces when I just want the scouting pants, and I do Mistwake 2x a day since its release too.

I know why SE refused to do this so they can extend the lifespan of new dungeons but plz I just want my 2 items I've missed each time it's already p tedious since I'm already going to have to repeat it often for EXDR too for months later on.

They should just make it operate the same way it does as the level x1-x9 dungeons, where you're guaranteed 1 piece of loot that you don't have at the end.

i remember yoshida talked about someone sending him screenshots of retainers full with pieces of a specific dungeon but still missing the one piece the player wanted.

yoshida made one of his jokes and laughed about it.

[Aco505]

It should be a thing for all dungeons and not only leveling ones.

The only reason it's not like this is because they think it will add "longevity" the content. My brother in Hydaelyn NO ONE is logging into this game to run story dungeons. I want this top so I can look cool running actual pieces of content

[Aidorouge]

Aye, I recently had to abandon trying to farm glamour from the Ivalice raids for similar reasons. Even putting aside the terrible RNG of drops, a lot of those fights aren't fun to deal with even when unsync, and that's assuming you can even find people that want to run Ivalice anymore.

[Khryseis_Astra]

Can confirm I’ve never seen the Scouting top yet, and I’m running this 3+ times a night, sometimes more. Also have only seen the Casting gloves once, but I lost the roll to another caster. lol it’s the last piece I need to complete the Casting set!

Already have a full set of Striking, all of Scouting but the top and pants, most of Aiming, even a couple pieces of the Healing set.

And again, why are we still getting undyeable dungeon gear in the dual dyes expansion?! Arguably the two best gear sets so far, Yuweyawata and Mistwake, don’t dye. We usually get at least a few dyeable dungeon sets, pre-DT.
