For those of you who have gotten a Dustin Helm from either Alby Adv for 1 or Alby Adv HM, how many runs did it take you?
-I heard that if you bring eight people to Alby Adv HM, you are guaranteed a helm from one of the chests, is this true?
I was considering just running Alby Adv over and over instead of sitting around trying to buy helms.
If it's anything like the drop rate of ES's from Karu dungeons though...:fail:

The first point is definitely not true, there have been many a time where 8 man raids yield nothing.

gotten a Dustin silver helm in 10-11runs. Went mostly in parties of 2-4, went with full party too (into alby for 1)...opening all chest doesn't mean a helm must drop. it depends on your luck :P
not too sure about hardmode since most ppl spamming it with me don't like long dungeons

If you get an item in any of the chests.. like artless lute, or splendid popo, then you will not get another item from the end chests.
But, open them anyway, who knows you might get another pass (without having to spend nx).

Are you sure about this? I remember one time Chilean said that he got 2 Vint. Dustins in a run.

I think the Deadly/Warrior Enchant Scroll is considered the guaranteed "good prize" in AAHM.
Things like the Vintage Dustin Helm are the secondary prizes which can be found in multiple chests (like dungeon passes or Boss Trials).

Boss trial isn't a secondary reward. Consider it a bonus reward...
ill use Ciar basic as an example.
Primary reward (always sure) is a broad stick, Secondary are Pots and passes (besides boss trial) tertiary contains boss rush passes.
Cause i got all 3 in one chest once. And i never got just a boss rush pass in a chest.
I notice teeny tiny things and nuances in the game.

Alby adv for 1 and alby adv hardmodes are stupid annoying dungeons IMO. The drop rate of good items is so low. Might as well run rundal adv Hm or ciar adv HM much better drop rates for rares. Now for dustin helm i understand. But ven then a synthed dustin can have better stats. And try 8 people who will run it over and over and over again and then give you the helm.

I have horrible luck with synth, probably worse than with drops. And gathering the people to spam it would be difficult, I'm guessing.
-From what some people told me in game, and here, it seems better to just earn gold/buy helms. :T_T: Thanks for the help, guys.

This is not true. The run where I got a Vintage DSK from Alby Adv HM, I also got a Lucky Lute in the same chest. There was also a group that ran AAHM and got 2 Vintsge DSK helms.
