    Devil Mantas broken?

    Did SE ninja angel skins? Currently on Midgard the last 41 Devil Mantas haven't dropped an angel skin. Please tell me our entire server is just unlucky and prove me wrong.

    No, i'm afraid you're just very unlucky, it's not really uncommon either, sometimes he can go thru serious dry spells, other days you see 20 pop on AH...he's like like a hooker, sometimes he may put out, others the panties aren't coming off.

    Thank you for the replies. I was hoping our entire server was having bad luck.
    I was also fearing that SE lessened the drop rate to or removed it all together to promote the ANNMs. Anyone have a confirmed drop from it since the last maint?

    If anything they need to raise it, i think it was very silly of them to make Angel used in Gobbie bag and it's still popular among heca crafters/wanters, i'm pretty sure alot of them are pissed atm over the raised prices on some servers. they shot up over dbl the price here.

    I doubt they are too upset about it atm. Just making the orbs is a substantial profit and they will sell quickly.

    That simile was shitty; if she's a hooker, she'd best be putting out.

    There are 6 angel skins on Bahamut's AH right now, so either people had been holding onto some or our Mantas are behaving like good little girls.

    Have you ever seen a hooker you don't pay put out? that's what the second part was refering to.. as in someone is not paying up (not droping skins, that shitty drop rate is showing it self, etc.)

    Well Manta isn't the only thing that drops them, just found out they are a possible drop off ANNMs and still suzaku drops them (but extreamly rare)

    nerfing the angel skin drop could be SE's way of getting more people to buy WOTG and almost force people to do ANNMs for income or to uncurse abjurations.

    No. I've had some whorey friends, but from what I've seen it's pretty rare for them to get wined/dined and then not put out at the end of the night. The exception for sure. Personally would have gone with being a prude, considering that whores are known as whores for fucking everyone, not for withholding on a regular basis.

    Didn't know about the ANNM as a source -- any kind of numbers on this yet? From my experience with Suzaku, I've seen 1-2 drops over ~3 years combined time serving my sentence in various sky events. Might be marginally more common now with comparatively ubiquitous THF's knife/gloves vs. 2 years ago, but for the most part our sales history is dominated by the names of fisherman. That's why I said what I did.
