Yes.
Yes.
Until you have a bigger "data" pool than 4/4 from mining, you should probably just not ask the question...when someone goes 10/10 or 20/20 (and proves it, you have no evidence that your friends words weren't anecdotal or exaggerated), maybe this will be relevent... also this
"somebody in my LS said today that he got his 4th tonberry, and he got it from mining a boarskin" you didn't say he got all 4 from mining, this just says that he got his 4th one from a mining boarskin...do you KNOW where he got the others? ALL the facts sir, or none of them.
I got it.
What if instead of just mining or fishing, you mine fish for the map?
Certainly all the loots would be tonberry
Might also help if you have all the Luminaries equipped at once.
You obviously have to log onto FFXI and hit the ebon panel the same time that you pop the chest.
Pfft, there's your problem, you have to use Duracell to get drops.
Now I need to equip full santa gear and wait for double dark weather in XI to test all this advanced theorycrafting
All of this is rata's fault
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and Ebon panels.
We've decided that certain people are tied to certain loot drops, based on who opens the chest. I generally create tank and healer gear. Another member creates a fuck ton of caster gear. None of our members generate bard gear.
This is accepted as fact in our group.
I think we need to refer back to the most accepted theory and be sure to enter the portal on an even in-game time. If you don't do this you'll get ported to the wrong room
the same way u shot the web
