50 quests as of last night - I have a total of 9 pieces.. 2,2,2,2,1 and no pet yet..

it's been about 1 piece per 6 quests for me. one jelly netch done, second one just needs one more piece.

I've been doing one circuit of the six every day and every day I've gotten one part. I honestly thought that was the set drop rate - on per day - until I read this thread.

I only get one per day, seems to be within the first three coffers typically. I was doing 18 each day, but now just 6 on the main character to get those 150 done.

I did go one day where I opened 20 (2 from a previous day) and didn't get any; but typically it's one per batch... I'm starting to think it was programmed in to not allow more than one drop per day.

Ironically I did open about 12 yesterday and only got one.

Rubbish, I get 1 drop every day, from doing 6 quests. 1 part out of every 6 quests isn't bad at all.

Yeah well if you read my post, my experience is quite different than yours. Just because RNG is nice to you doesn't mean it is to everybody.

Even now I've continued doing these and got 1 - that's right 1 friggin Jelly part. Total.

It's not just me, the parts are sold literally all over the place, for 15-20k a piece, and in the coming weeks that price will drop even lower. If they had a higher drop chance they would be worthless and just trash. The droprate is perfect as it is.

Well they're minimum 40k on console. 30k if you're lucky to find an underpriced one in the traders.

It's perfect for you. It isn't perfect for me, clearly.

Now I'm up to 73 quests. Only four drops out of all of that. Yes, I've been writing it down and keeping track. It's pretty obvious to me that the drop rate is different for different players, and that's extremely unfair. *Is slightly salty*

Sold a duplicate part I picked up last night for 18.5K. It was an average price for the last ~3 days since my MM was showing sales as low as 14.5K. Those are reasonable prices already.

Yet again a PC players referencing the glroy of add-ons. You need to understand that this isn't the experience for over 2/3 of the community.

Price are ANYTHING but reasonable on console. Everything is underpriced on PC because you guys constantly have addons to drive eachother's prices down.

I play on PC and have MM, but I still scan guild stores for bargains when I do purchase-athlons, usually getting motifs up to date, and I'm able to pick up the bargains even without that addon. Also TTC is mostly useless, since once something at low price turns up there it's likely that it had mostly been scooped up. So I have to find my own. And I do see quite a bit of spread even on more common items, such as refined crafting materials, up to 30% between different guilds, even in adjacent stalls in the same town. I do agree that it would be harder to do that on console, but that doesn't justify 2x, or even 3x the price of the same item on PC. Probably people are disproportionately reporting outliers, which are quite common in the first days after content is released. For example today I may see Hollowjack Chest sales at 50K, when someone gullible enough will click that button, only to see the same item declining to 1% of that by the end of the Whiches Festival, and ending up being sold to NPCs.

In my experience with RNG I have noticed that things tend to average out over time. For example I got runebox pieces in my first 4 days, then 2 days without anything, then 2 more the next 2 days. There may be a hidden cooldown per character, or even per account for those, as I haven't heard players scoring multiple in the same day, so I stick to just one character that will continue doing those till it hits the 150 mark (25 consecutive days).

I do think there is a hidden cooldown per account per day. I have run this every day since it started with two characters on one account and one on a second account. While I have gotten one on each account in a day, I have not gotten two on the same account in a day.

Once I get a part on an account, I do not get any more when I open the rest of the boxes on that account. I tried saving boxes after getting a part. Opened the saved boxes the next day and got a part right off, then all the other boxes including newly gathered had no parts.

This is the case of how it is running for me so far. Others results may vary or they may have not tracked it closely.

I get at least 1 per day, sometimes 2.

Saw one for 70k yesterday and I laughed and laughed and laughed. No thank you.

I got my Swamp Jelly pet last night. I got one piece per day from doing all the dailies on just one character. Only had one day where I didn't get a piece to drop. I did get 3 fishmeal pieces but was able to trade them for the pieces I was missing.

It took me 132 dailies to get all of the pieces, plus 3 duplicates that I got along the way. So for me the drop rate ended up being 7.58% (recognizing that it's far too small of a sample size to draw any conclusions about the actual overall drop rate).

the hype is big right now but eventually you'll see those parts come down to 10k in traders.

How do you search for them in traders? I've been hunting a Psijic Glowglobe Wisp Animus to finish off that collectable, and even if they exist, they are impossible to find because I don't think there is a filter for them.
