Abnormal Drop Rate of Brilliant Amethyst in Envy Depths Dungeon

[crystal warren]

(Zero Drops After 30+ Runs on 3x Drop Rate Server)
Summary: After 30+ consecutive clears of Envy Depths Dungeon on FWC (3x drop rate server), zero Brilliant Amethyst gems have dropped. This severely deviates from the official 2-5% base drop rate, which should translate to 6-15% with server modifiers.
Character: K
Server: FWC
Position: Envy Depths Dungeon

"Post-reduction metrics should reflect a 1.5x drop rate relative to baseline servers. Current measurements indicate a substantial negative deviation.

I was wondering the same thing, we've run around 60 envy's with our group and dropped a total of two brilliants.

Don't know if they considered fwc flask to match the droprates of regular servers too
But it is still rng and 30 runs aren't enough to prove something like that

[crystal warren]

I must have been using an FWC flask when reporting the anomaly. Even with this drop rate buff active, the rates are still lower than on normal servers. My dungeon runs weren't sufficient to conclusively prove the issue, which is why I'm posting this thread to see if others are experiencing the same. If everyone reports abnormally low drop rates, it would confirm an anomaly exists.

Got 1 in 80 runs
Got 6x pd12 which is half the chance of brilli

The report I made was just closed. I have a strong feeling that something is not right with the drop rate. My gut tells me that the 141+ dungeon drop rate weren't properly adjusted when the 165 cap was introduced post fwc2 last year. I went from getting 2-3 lc drops per week when I was at lower levels to practically 0 in 10 days straight now that my level is higher (currently 165). My ujb drops also went down from 50-60 per 10-11 runs down to 30-40. I asked several ppl and some of them have it way worse and confirmed that the drop rate did go bad compared to how it was from the beginning. My other guess is that the drop rates are affected by the amount of teams running these dungeons.

The bug isnt there when you cant see it

[crystal warren]

I can't speak for other items, but for Brilliant Amethyst, my drop count has remained ZERO since my original post! I've been grinding Storm Peak or Envy Depths every single night.

What's your level?

[crystal warren]

Currently at Lv. 161, I've gotten Crystal Demon Cloak drops in Storm Peak, but still not a single Brilliant Amethyst! Regarding Crystal weapons or individual armor pieces, I haven't noticed anything unusual – other players are still getting these drops anyway. Sometimes during unlucky streaks, you really can go a while without seeing one.

Was BRUDer???

@ornate path need help

[willow geyser]

No response on this? Can only confirm: the brilliant amethyst droprate on fwc is almost non existent

[crystal warren]

yes why

[austere mason]

They probably ignore all bugs until the next content release

Dang, Im currently getting 0-5 (at most) UJBs in envy grinds even with drop skills

[worn chasm]

they didn't boost UJBs, since you can transfer them and 0-5 was always normal rate, it was not?

[wide trench]

Last year I was getting like 5-10 per run and my buddy in fwc right now his average is probably 6 per run. My average is like 1-2 😭

[misty current]

Hello, any feedback from tests ? Cuz I still have this strong feeling too, thx boss 🤝

[analog geyser]

It might be boosted at 1st because I was getting 50-60 per 10 runs now down to 25-40. They probably shadow patched it among other things to avoid backlash and accountability 🤣

It might also be because my level got higher.
