So I've been trying to farm VNMs the past few days and have been struggling to change my T1 pop to T2. I'm not saying that it never happens, but there are some attempts where I go 0/60+. Is there some trick to it or I am downright unlucky? Don't know if this would matter, but I sometimes just oneshot them upon engaging w/ rudra's.

I dnt believe thats normal.

Are you sure you dont have a colorful abyssite in kis?

T1 to t2 can take a bit time to change because t1 have 3 or 4 intsant pops but 60+ is too much.

I've farmed a few T3s already and it seems to be constantly bad 0-40+ range.

Unless you already have a colorful and didn't realise it, then it's just bad lucky.

As far as I've done these, there is no special trick. 60+ is too much, I'd start to suspect a bug.

Well, it was speculated that killing the same NM over and over has better chances at changing but there's no definite proof for it.

Definitely bug. Check your Key items for Colorful Abyssite (or if abyssea, Colorful Demilune Abyssite).

I usually go 1/15 or less on t1, 1/4-6 on t2. The instant repop on t1s can make this very fast, but it shouldn't be longer than 20minutes.

Edit: I have been doing these daily for past few weeks, so i can confirm there is nothing wrong here.

Just hit the 2hr mark. Losing my mind here. I've been double checking every 10 mins and nothing. Does T3 KIs have an effect on changing? I have a few T3 pops.

It does not affect it at all. You're sure you don't have a Colorful?

Maybe try another zone. Where are you trying to upgrade this t1? You can use several zones for it.
