Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)
The game really loves me. My luck is amazing. Figuring out and clearing a new daily without getting a single drop in the process.

No its not photoshopped.
Anybody still claiming english ver has the same drop rate as original?
I'm afraid of riches that wait for me on higher difficulties.
Welcome to the world of Aigis (and RNG)
Spirit rescue has low drop rates compared to other dailies, so don't be surprised if you get 0-drop runs (happens a lot).
Unless you need to farm rainbow or black fairies, it's generally recommended that you spend your stamina running challenge quests (Low Cost Battle for silver fairies, A Giant Enemy for gold fairies, Phalanx 2 for gold/platinum fairies), since they also give you affection items. (not sure if I got all the quest names exactly right, trying to recall from memory here)
Also about RNG - if you play this game long enough, you'll see all sorts of whacky drop rates that deviate from drop rate data
As an example, in JP version currently, they're doing 1.5x drop campaign for dailies atm. In the Extreme-tier map for Spirit Rescue, the drop rate for plat & black fairies that map is assumed to be:
Platinum Fairy: 0.3 x 2 (with 1.5x: 0.45 x 2 = 90% of getting plat fairy/run)
Black Fairy: 0.2 x 3 (with 1.5x: 0.3 x 3 = 90% of getting black fairy/run)
(there's rainbow fairy too but I'll leave it out of calculation for now since it has low drop rate)
So according to drop data (during 1.5x campaign), you would have (ignoring rainbow fairy):
- 90% of getting 1 plat fairy
- 90% of getting 1 black fairy
- or 180% of getting at least 1 drop (plat or black fairy) per run
180%. Now try running that map and getting 0 drops for 3-4 runs in the row. That's 0 drops vs 540%~720% chance of getting at least 1 drop^^ (Enough to make you rage - I know because it just happened to me lol)
On the other hand, probability of getting all 3x black fairies to drop in 1 run = 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 = 0.027 or 2.7%. So it'll take ~37 runs on average to see full black fairy drop - but I got it on my 2nd run of that map (RNG can work both ways^^)
However I think it's human nature to remember "bad luck" draws and focus on them more, even though there's probably times where you've got exceptionally good luck on drops
