Ever since two weeks ago after maintenance the drop rate of Grade Core Datas has felt like its been cut in half. I've been struggling to get past half of what I got before that maintenance every run now.

 

I just wanted to ask has anyone been experiencing that as well?

 

For context:

 

Before Maintenance two weeks ago 90-120 High Grade Core Datas per run, After Maintenance 40-60 High Grade Core Datas per run.

 

Buffs + Equipment:

 

VIP +50%

Kafra Buff +50%

Zonda +100%

HE Bubble Gum + 200%

Authority of Issgard - VG +15%

True Gangster Scarf +15%

+13 [A] Issgard Robe - VG +30%

Kitten Shield +25%

+11 Winter Christmas Wings + 20%

Costume Dimensional Sword + 15%

 

+520% Drop Rate

Apparently there are rumours that there's a limit on drop rate if there are many items left on laying on the floor.
So my theory is that valuable loots stop dropping once that limit is reached on the server, mostly due to the bot filled maps that only pick ether dust and leave everything else

Around 4k for every zone.

Whats Zonda? and does vip and kafra buff stack? They wont fix the bot so were left with picking the scraps. I've been a loyal player for almost 2 years but im kinda dissapointed with how they manage the game, maybe ill leave the game before 2027.

Around 4k for every zone.

 

They added Garden of Time to the same Remote Port/Address as Abandoned Pits and Hunting Grounds, but this started happening a week before then, so I can only speculate they added more maps to the same Remote Port/Address during that time.

 

Before then I never had a problem with drops not dropping on the map.

they should set the hunting grounds item disappear time to be shorter. with all the EMs and IQs there killing way too fast other classes are in disadvantage when map loot cap is reached.

It doesn't help that Episode 19 Caves and Hunting Grounds are on the same map server. I would point out Hidden Garden is on the same map server as well, but I never see anyone there.

I've been recording my Battle Pass runs and it looks like Mid Grade Core Datas are 0.4-0.5% and High Grade Core Datas are 0.1-0.2% Drop Rate from 25,000 Monster Kills.

 

Based on 7 Replay Files

619% Drop Rate - 35,029 Kills - 1013 Mid Grade Core Datas - 363 High Grade Core Datas

 

((1013/35029)*100)/6.19 = 0.46%

((363/35029)*100)/6.19 = 0.16%
