And consider yourself lucky OP

thanks, just thought it was odd.

One of my guildmates is on and 0/18 challenge day run right now. It happens just keep simming your luck will turn.

We don't really know the actual odds. I was getting about 1 full zeta every 3 weeks to a month from challenges before I started buying them from fleet store.

Everybody only knows their own history. The day I first unlocked, my payoff was 2/1. So I got three zeta mats the first day. I calculated how long until I had 20, and thought not too bad. Then the next 4 events (8 battles) I got 1. Lost track after that, because keeping track isn't going to change the fact that they are streaky.

For me the hard part is sticking to my plan. When I had zero zeta mats, I was sure who was getting the first one when I had enough. When I got #20, I had changed my mind, and it went somewhere else. I've got a full set ready to go today, and I'm second guessing where to use it.

I used to get at least two per week last week there including today I’ve had zero I just buy them with fleet currency now, the drop rate does seem to have worsened since the QoL update and zetas were added to the daily logins

I have been keeping track for about 50 challenge days and have gotten 52. So about 1 in a single challenge day. Keeping track reduces chance of a bias. I'd suggest that.

It absolutely has changed and resulted in terrible drop rates. I have not gotten a Zeta from the Ship Material Challenge in weeks. Heck, I’m not even getting omegas anymore, and only 1-2 purple mats.

If the goal is to move zetas to somewhere else, just do it please. If not just put it back to how it was.

Smidday is absolutely right... It all changed with the latest QoL update. So basically, instead of improving things, the game is even more grindy and less fun. Huzzah!
