I have a solid history of farming abyssea in my day and even helped people farm things such as Iron plates and Trophy items.

Well today I decide lets knock out an Ochain, Popped 15 Ironclades between Abyssea Altepa- and Abyssea Grauberg.
Results
16 Iron Plates 15 Pops.
Treasure Hunter 9+ was on each kill.
Now I would normally just think bad luck, but the issue is, farming the preliminary triggers were also being hard to get.
Darkflame Arm I went 1/38 just for one, with th9 secondary character.
I remember on previous characters and helping people within the last few months and weeks that I had none of these problems.

Anyone else notice anything like this?


Also I know this sounds crazy it's just bad luck most would say.. I have farmed thousands of Plates in the past, its never been this bad.
More testing is needed but something is not the same.

For me plates were always that bad and I also farmed them a lot. Especially the ironclad in Ule drops just one 90% of the time.

You have a bad luck, but not as bad as you think according to my experience with plates. I would say even with th8+ its around 15% for 2nd plate.

I've done 2 harps, working on my third, and part of an ochain within the last 6 months. That seems about right with what I have experienced. I've found the drop rates a bit higher in Altepa than other places. I remember getting a lot of double drops years ago. Maybe it got ninja nerfed along the way somewhere.

I've farmed 50 plates with only 2 double drops. Your experience is nothing unreasonable, plates go fast either way. No, they didn't nerf the droprate.

Even if they did, you'd have to farm a dozen weapons worth to have a sample worth considering as evidence.

Worry less about drops, and just kill faster. Sometimes with your attention focused so much on how many drop it just makes it that much more painful. Just kill, try to enjoy, and it will be over before you know. Then you will tell yourself youre not doing that again, and then in a week youre planning another one.

I agree I was still killing fast I was just focusing on if I was getting 1 or 2, I am almost done now, I suppose I just had to complain the whole trip lol.

Sometimes that helps too! Obviously not true, but it always seems to work out that way. Just helps pass the time!

This matches up with my experience farming plates, namely that treasure hunter don't mean jack ***for drop rates. I got the same results with or without TH, and bad luck streaks like this one were commonplace in both setups.

I farmed my ochain 2 months ago. I started on souls and did plates between Maere pops. Of my plates, i would estimate about 35 were single drops with TH 8.

The souls and horns were the exact opposite, about 3/4 times i would get a double drop.

I really recommend doing souls first, as its the only time gated one. (I amber farmed Azdaja).

thf main is fine, you don't need to proc anything. can keep your t3 abyssite with ja0 so if you want you can hop all 3 zones and just kill t3s for souls.

what is this magic?

My NIN doesn't have a Scythe (stupidly tossed a Mog pell when I returned) or a Gsword. Don't think my WAR has a Katana either so I would have to take both atm.

Good news, you can get that new snazzy one with login points this month! SE spent a lot of time making this new item! Huge update ya know.

FFXIDB.com shows the drop rate for Iron Plates to be around 126.5% as compared to ~175% for Souls and most Empyrean weapon items, so double drops are significantly less common. That said, you've still gotten rather unlucky.
