Remember, they said they would not adjust old AF drop rates while including the new AF. So, if you take out all the AF they got that was new AF they got 28 pieces of AF, which is a lot but has been matched before. People are going to start seeing more TOTAL AF drop in the cities due to COR/PUP/BLU AF, but your rates on each individual piece should remain the same.

[Azalee]

COR, COR, BLU, PUP, RDM and six 100s so far at Beau, 45 minutes in.

45 minutes in and SIX 100 pieces?! That is fucking insane.

[Izzy]

Woah I think I broke the thread...

*EDIT* n/m it fixed itself Q_Q

[Damane]

people seem to be getting alot more 100's also tho, maybe its just my ls but we clear pretty much all of bastok/sandy, 1/2 of the zone repops in jeuno and we get 1 100 every 2 runs. got a 100 in our last 2 northlands tho, i think.

Nothing wrong with RDM hat.

You have to (you being everyone) understand that just because dorp rates were increased DOES NOT mean something will actually drop.

How do you do that mathematically, though?

Assume: The chance of getting one particular AF to drop is ~1/12 in a city (1/15 at an iceland). While we've seen regular AF dropping on top of new AF, we've seen new AF drop by itself.

I guess it would have to be something along the lines of, when rolling which AF piece drops, rerolling a second time (using old rolling model) if the random AF piece is new.

I don't know. I'm usually fairly decent with numbers, but my head is really having issues wrapping itself around this.

each mob has a 1/12 chance dropping non-toau job af2 in one slot
each mob also has a 1/12 chance of dropping blu/pup/cor af2 in another slot

there, i did the math for you

[Tahngarthor]

they kept the drop rates of the original AF2 to the same porporitons by putting the new AF2 in it's own drop slot (which is why 2 can possibly drop on the same mob).

These two slots would not appear to be dependent on eachother.

[Auronku]

I'd have to agree with Izzy at the moment that while city drops have been looking great, it doesn't seem like something that could be ruled out as just good luck at this point. I'd agree that the notion they may have changed the drop rate in cities is gaining steam with more and more reports of unusually high AF, but give it some time.

There may be evidence to suggest single coin drop rates has gone up in cities though. I think the majority of people reporting coins have seen an increase overall. For instance, generally if we clear Bastok with TH4 we're looking at around 300 single coins. Last Wednesday we ended with about 10 stats left and ended up with around 325 coins so we could of easily hit more of the 360/370 mark had we gotten through.

One thing's damn near positive though, the af2 drop rate on beastmen in CoP zones is rediculously high.

I find it funny that people are complaining about this (seen it from numerous people in this thread). It's quite evident that they increased the drop rate, YOU just had bad luck that run. It's not like SE said let's increase AF drop rate except for the linkshell that Damane on Unicorn is in. Complain about your shitty luck, not question the drop rate increase.

[Vedder]

One thing's damn near positive though, the af2 drop rate on beastmen in CoP zones is rediculously high.

At this point based on evidence we've seen (in person and in testimonials), I am pretty convinced that the drop rates of Accessories and AF2-1 items in the CoP Dynamis zones were not boosted. However, if you kill regular Yag/Quad/Orc/Gob mobs there, the original Dynamis area AF2 will rain down on you, as you said.

We regularly see 2-3 of each CoP specific type drop when we do CoP Dynamis with 4-5 not being uncommon. We did a post-patch Bubu recently and only got 1 AF2-1 and one Accessory despite killing more Nightmare mobs than ever before.

Seems kind of lame for SE to overlook bumping the drop rates on the Accessories, but I'm pretty sure that's what they did.
