Dynamis Drop Adjustment Testimonials

[Talint]

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

Were this true, however, you'd be getting a disproportionate amount of blu/pup/cor AF2, if both slots had the same droprate.

Your drop rates in cities would be directly doubled, and half of the AF2 would be blu/pup/cor. Which does not appear to be happening.

Two slots for AF dropping now (one for old, one for new) is a reasonable assumption based on evidence. But, I guess I'm leading myself to believe that the droprate for the two (in terms of probability) is different.

alright, then the cor/pup/blu has a smaller chance.
Why is this hard

each mob has a 1/12 chance dropping non-toau job af2 in one slot

Just wondering if this has ever been confirmed? I'm not saying its not, I'm just more curious than anything. Even though I'm not sure how anyone could really prove it anyway.

Seems like to me in all my time doing dynamis certain areas tend to drop the same AF. Like in our dynamis we have an area called BLM hat hill for instance because 80% of our blm hats drop off that area. Anyone else experience these types of things?

Doesnt really seem like mobs have a random chance of dropping any AF sometimes. Could just be something that seems to happen in our shell >.>

Calculation 1: 1/12 chance of dropping a random RoZ job AF.
Calculation 2: 1/72 chance of dropping a random ToAU AF.

that stuff is just luck. We get streaky with weird shit like that sometimes.
1/12 is just the hypothesized amount in the example, though I wouldn't be surprised if it is that or maybe even a little higher

Er, sorry. That's my fault. The ~1/12 refers to the AF piece that drops. Not the actual droprate. I was trying to get at how that number could increase while claiming to keep the droprate the same.

Assume x is the droprate.

f(x) is the droprate for the second slot, wherein f(x) is the adjustment to make the ToAU is equal to the droprate for the first slot (assuming that it's equal).

However, this debunks the idea of simply adding a second slot to double the AF in icelands, which is good to know. Which is where my wires were getting crossed. If the icelands AF is doubled, it's directly to whatever the droprate, x, is.

I'm glad everyone helped me through that.

Yeah I knew what you were talking about
Know 1/12 not the drop rate.

Was just wondering if people noticed drop patterns based on the areas rather than just random drop rates I guess.

Fuck you SE!|!

[Canofwhoopass]

Did a very sloppy Xarca last night with 23 people.

Still managed to get 2xNIN 1xMNK and 1xSilverpiece

Not bad for wiping once to Astral Flow, Wiping 4-5 times to bad mpk Pulls and not getting all time extensions lol

All drops off regular mobs.

[DancingEdge]

~45 people for Beaucidine, ~15 af2.
COR BLU PUPx3, PLD, RDM, BST, WAR, WHM, SMN, RNG.... can't remember the rest.


Missed the last extension because of a wiped pull on the hydra.


I think they said a bit over 400 currency, and that the zone usually isn't too great for coins.

Beaucedine is nearly as good as a city for single coins, easily 280-300 (whereas a city is ~350). Hundred coins are usually a few less though.

COR and NIN.

*waits for Gunitsoldier to reply to this..

[fussel]

We had 11 AF2 (including BLU and PUP) and a 100 bill in Beau on Wednesday. Three of those were RDM. This was a Mega Boss run with half an hour left and dragons on the loose.

[Ceal]

Blue Mage Cape
- Drops in Buburimu off of Dhalmels
- Also drops in either Valk or Qufim

We have gotten Blue Mage Cape off Sheep in Valkurm.

[Aledacia]

It seems that drop rates were indeed increased everywhere - my guess is cities were increased, just not as much.

OR- they accidentally increased the drop rates in cities, and didn't catch the mistake, or just left it.

I think its undisputable that currency drops are increased everywhere though.

And SE never even said they were increasing currency drops, only said AF2.

[Katlan]

we got last sunday 1x RDM and 2x WAR on xarca.... so much to enhanced droprate. 1x TH4 btw. and none did drop from NMs

Even if they increase the drop rate it's not a guarantee that every time you do a zone your gonna see a ton more AF then usual. It just means that, on average, you will see more AF's overall (w/does not pertain to every run).

It's the same as certain NM's that are supposed to have a 50-75% drop rate on "X" item. You know how many times I've had to kill "X" mob that has a 50-75% on "X" item? I'm sure everyone that has ever played FFXI to some extent can bitch about having to kill some mob 10+ times when the drop rate is supposed to be at 50-75% lol. So... even if they increased the drop rate... it doesn't mean your always gonan notice the difference

[Konekoo]

Did qufim wed, was a pretty good run. 36 people almost whole run. 1 TH4 thf whole time which was me. Did tigers, weapons and snoll. Gunna try krakens and diremites next time see what happens.
