That is the most frustrating thing about sortie imo. I've only gotten like 3 earrings in the last like 6 months, and they've all been dupes.

The earring system is terrible. My last +2 was Aug. 29th and we 9 boss at least 5 times a week.

.

I got a +2 last night. Bitching is confirmed to be 100% effective.
This is why my LS and I have adopted the "*** and yee shall receive" motto. Mind you, it's not always functional, but you get it.

I still haven’t gotten a NIN+2. I still haven’t gotten a NIN+2!

I still haven’t gotten a NIN+2!!!

I hope this works.

At this point I’d be happy with a 3 or even 5:1 exchange rate of +2 earrings, even just getting the consumable earring of your choice and (most likley) getting a min roll anyway. I have dupes of a few jobs and it’s mega frustrating.

When I was playing with Pergatory every time he would say all he wanted was a SMN +2 I would get a SMN +2.

My proposal would be 3 (of any) : 1 to get a different earring of your choosing.

5 (of the same) : 1 to upgrade your highest augment 1 level.

The real secret to all items drops that load into personal pool (UNM, Sortie, I think there's a couple other systems) is to help someone and you'll get what they want.

Nah, I was helping my returner friend do sortie for his EMP+2/3 he got a COR+2(which I need and can use) and a DRG+2(he does play it and I do). I got 0 +2 earrings from those boxes.

Both of these are wrong, the real real secret is just not want the item, want something entirely unrelated like an earring for a job you dont ever use and you'll get the one you want instead.

You have to trick the algorithm into thinking you're a complete gimp, then the game feels sorry for you and rewards you with a consolation prize.
