Code
	NQ	+1
WAR	76	1
MNK	72	7
WHM	74	6
BLM	78	1
RDM	79	4
THF	76	4
PLD	67	2
DRK	65	4
BST	55	2
BRD	62	5
RNG	50	4
SAM	46	2
NIN	54	5
DRG	58	1
SMN	62	3
BLU	60	2
COR	40	3

These are all NQ old cases. I didn't record any +1 cases since I pop them as I get them... can't resist.

And yes, 90% of the +1s are min rolled pretty much

That pretty much confirms that JP post that shows that Case and Case+1 have a higher droprate for the 6 NQ jobs over the advanced jobs.
I really wonder if this is meant on purpose (which purpose?) or an error they didn't notice and refuse to acknowledge.

Where do people usually pop their old case +1 at? My group for the first time started popping while running around Sortie cuz alcohol and got 4 +2 earrings in a run, 2 of which went to me. Also, one of us uses TH in provoke, I'm about to full time TH lol.

Curious if the crews that are hitting Aminion every day or 2/3 days have piled up a bunch of +2s. Seems feasible some of them maybe at 6 or 7 +2 earrings

Lol, you guys have so many more than me.

I've got 2, and we've been doing aminon regularly for about 2 months.

I got one on the very first +1 case I ever got before the basements were even released. I've gotten 1 more since basements came out

Since I posted this on 7/22/2023, I've gotten 5 +2s, so clearly the real treasure hunter bonus is from complaining!

Edit:

BST => average stats, not even level 99
NIN => average stats, 99, but not mastered
BRD => great stats, not perfect, not even level 99
WHM => average stats, job I play a lot
RNG => min stats, job I play somewhat.

I now have 4.
2x drg
2x pld

What are the chances of me getting the same earring twice?
Of course those are 2 of the very few jobs I don't play

The amount of shits you give and the "skill" you think you have on that job are inversely related to their drop rate.

IE; if you want a +2 WAR, your war better be level 1 and better be *** terrible at it. Or heavily overconfident in your ability.

If you dislike job (job), dont play (job), dont have (job) your +2 rate is the highest on that (job).

Lol

But no seriously, anybody competent enough with mats to calculate a approx chance % of that to happen to anyone?

Because it feels to me like I've won a lottery... In reverse I guess but still a lottery XD

One of the members of my static 3 of his first 4 +2s were whm and he doesn't even play whm, so it happens for sure.

The six basic jobs have a ~20% higher chance to pop (if I remember the right %) than the other jobs ones though.

Also confirmed.

Only +2 earring I've ever seen is BRD.

Only job I still have at level 1 is BRD.

3 x BST +2
1 x War +2

its not the job you want to play, its the job SE has assigned you to become :')

in other RNG sadness, I have 3-7 +1 for every job EXCEPT SAM, I've never seen a SAM +1, I play SAM for sortie runs.

I was a Perma RUN for over 6 months of sortie. I got THF and SAM+2 earrings but never a RUN+1.

I swapped over to WAR main and have only seen WHM+2 but plenty of RUN+1.

both DRG +2 are max stats? that sounds like once in a lifetime odds, would be a sad panda if i blew it on FFXI instead of lottery ticket.

We've seen some +2s, rare as heck in our group.

I'm still looking for a DRG+2 myself(hell even an NQ at this point), and our group feels like they nerfed the drop rates straight up.

Checks out. Across my two characters, I have obtained a single +2 earring, DRK on my alt. Of course that's the only job across either character that isn't unlocked!

This 100% checks out. Buddy of mine doesn't have DRG unlocked, and I'm our group's DRG REMA main, and he got a +2(nice roll, too) and I got nothing.

Hush, fellow BST bro! ;)

It's way more fun to imagine Matsui pulling some poor programmer off of XIV to implement Sortie earrings, with the explicit instructions that drop rate must be weighted based on favoring each player's least played jobs.

There's still some element of randomness, you just got really lucky and got the 0.005% chance of rolling a +2 earring for jobs you actually play.

But yeah I also got a BST+1 with good augs as one of my first +1s, was very pleased with that. Maybe that also ties into the fact (FACT!) that BST earrings were assigned a higher drop rate than other jobs due to being less played overall.

Doing sortie from day one, almost every day but not Aminon.
Earring +2: 0
Earring +1: All jobs but BRD, DRK was the last one so long.
I just get rid of all of normal quality earrings: 20x WAR, 36x MNK, 35x WHM, 28x BLM, 21x RDM, 22x THF, 35x PLD, 17x DRK, 28x BST, 35x BRD, 18x RNG, 34x SAM, 17x NIN, 30x DRG, 28x SMN, 24x BLU, 32x COR, 21x PUP, 29x DNC, 25x SCH, 22x GEO and 26x RUN. Still owning 379 unopened old cases and hope for some kind of exchange rate some day...
I don't play WHM, PLD, BST, BRD, SMN and DNC, so I not opened that much of this earings.
