Not sure if reported yet but looks like you can get a card from a chest. Yay for 3 with no gil in it.
Also in other good news the very next run gave a chest floor as well... that only gave gil

Seems doubtful seeing as 1. Literally nothing else came out 2. I had gotten a card from finishing floor 4
Don't know if that SS was mistaking the objective completion card for a chest card (doesn't look like it since there's only 3 rewards shown and they were allowed 3 boxes), but I can confirm cards are a possible reward from chest floors.
Opening chests in itself is counting towards the objective counter. So it's not a Card being IN a chest but your ocunter ticking over from opening one.

Well then I got a card from only 2 objectives/floor clears... and a box with literally nothing in it.
It's been my experience that clearing objectives and clearing floors are separate counters for acquiring cards.

Little off topic, just started running omen bosses regularly and was curious what accuracy requirements are for each of them (if it's not the same), I was around 1300-1350 but we lack buffers currently (we killed Fu with I think 78% acc on blu blu drk). I'm sure it's somewhere in the posts but there's a lot of info to go through
Edit: we did have a rdm but not sure how strong the distract was Asura.Ladyofhonor said: » It's been my experience that clearing objectives and clearing floors are separate counters for acquiring cards. This is also my experience. Siren.Kyte

That matches up with mine as well.
What are you guys seeing that make you think objectives and alt-f3 clearing are separate counters?
Been doing a lot of solo card farming lately and the card flow rate seems to me to be more consistent with them being just points on the same counter. I can't ever recall completing a sub objective, getting a card from that, and then killing a mob and getting a card from that right away.

I can't ever recall completing a sub objective, getting a card from that, and then killing a mob and getting a card from that right away. I'm pretty confident I have completed an objective like say 30k MB, gotten a card, and then finished killing all transcended and gotten another card. Finishing all transcended is a main objective though, not a sub objective. My personal guess is that main objective on alt-f3 is actually worth more than an entire card point-wise, that's why it's not that uncommon to receive two cards from it and I've never seen it not give a card.

Well, that is what I meant by "clearing floors". I've never received a card from just killing trash, only when I've triggered what unlocks the next floor. I only kill the rest of the floor because it might proc a chest floor. pretty sure I've gotten cards by killing trash mobs

Was the example you gave from a boss run or a card run? It'd make sense for a card run, but if it was a boss run the main objective doesn't always guarantee a card which would support the separate counter theory more.

And yeah the main objective doesn't always give me a card, but I've gotten a card at the end of floor 4 from completing objective and then one from the boss itself, even though that's only 1-2 objectives completed to do so. Just for reference, this is the official response on how it works which seems to imply main and sub objectives are both just points but they don't explicitly state they share the same counter.

I don't want to be that Ridill droprate guy but anyone noticed higher Box floor rates recently?
Like prior to a week ago I had only seen one. Got 2nd one last week. Got 2 a few days ago allowing me to do 4 runs in a row and tonight got another 2 allowing me to again do 4 runs in a row... Done like 8 runs already this week <.<. Or will have when my autos hurry up and finish this Gin... and of course I eat a zero hour while typing this lol Nope. A while ago we went about a week straight of getting box floors. Now we've been seeing them about once every 5 runs.
