    Loot RNG bug?

    It seems like there might be a bug with loot RNG.

    We just ran hard mode Ifrit 13 times and received 8 of the same item. Before doing it as a group, I ran it alone three times and received two more of that item, for a total of 10 in 16 runs.
    There are a total of 9 possible drops; we shouldn't be seeing the same item this often. I understand that it's random, but it should be very improbable for this to happen.

    Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?


    Time: 9:00 PM PST
    Frequency: So far, almost always
    World name: Coeurl
    Character name: Yenn Sylph
    Monster name: Ifrit
    Class/Level: 50 Summoner
    Party or solo: Full party
    Area and coordinates: Bowl of Embers
    Steps:
    1. Kill Ifrit repeatedly
    2. Notice that the same item seems to drop 63% of the time

    While we do appreciate that you have brought our attention to the trouble you experienced, the amount of information provided is insufficient for us to conduct an investigation into the cause of the trouble and how we can resolve it. While you did provide some of the information we need, we still need additional info about your system (PC or PS3). There are templates that we provide for reporting Windows errors and PS3 errors.

Check out the sample templates located there to get an idea of what the system information we need looks like.
