Is it more likely to get this from KB or SB? I'm over 100 on KB w/no drop and 48 of those kill were within the last 24 hours...

It's a very low drop and I think TH doesn't affect it on KB due to the slot being guaranteed as either Pixie Earring or D. Ring as a drop.

I'm not sure what the drop rate on Sov. Behe is, but there was several photos denoting that he had a decent enough drop rate on it as a reward in the past, but nobody shouts for unity mobs anymore on Lak, so that kind of data isn't readily available beyond anecdotal evidence.

Only advice I can offer is stock up on pops. Either log in pts, farm, or buy and try to do 20(bring friends who can hold for you) Did that a few times got a few rings needed for those who wanted.
5/45 pops.

1/1 -- Believe me. I get alot of grief for it. Everything else that I want is always a struggle to drop.

I had the leftover log in points, and normally i buy them and sell them. I only had enough left over for 1 and was like meeh, ill burn it.

Put on my thf (didnt know it didnt make a difference) and it dropped!

I know its on SB list, but I've not been able to track down anyone who's actually gotten it from SB.

I solo SB on pup, but it gets boring fast.

They probably lowered the rate of Dring from Sov. Behemoth to half. So it's .005% instead of .01%. You essentially have unlimited tries to get it from S.Behemoth though, and you probably can do it for free indefinitely converting accolades > sparks > gil. Never seen anyone getting it from SB either.

Ffxidb has enough data on this to prove drop rate is 5%. As soon as you break 20 kills you have bad luck. 1/4 and 1/12 I got mine ;)

At a 5% drop rate, 36% of people don't get it within 20 kills.

Personally opened well over 1000, probably closer to 2000, sovereign coffers on characters without dring and never seen it. It is hard to get concrete numbers, given how many endgame players already have it.

As others have said, KB is proven to be pretty near 5%. This doesn't mean you'll get it in 20 kills, but it's definitely the way to go.

Dring is nice and all but after currently going through getting it at 1/86 I think I'm fine with just putting Moonbeam rings on my alts and selling savory shanks to make up the difference.

This. Honestly, with all of the DT options for jobs, Defending ring isnt really needed at all except for maybe mage DT sets.

Also, I think I went 3/15 (1/8 on main char) after soloing KB became a thing. Kclub on the other hand... not so lucky. 0/lotsofnumbers

Well over a thousand??? Please forgive me but I thinks you might have added an extra zero in there?

But if true.... DAMN...

My main took 1/44 but interestingly enough, my GEO, WHM and COR alts were each around 1/4 -_-; I’m glad to have good gear for the mules but why does my main get ***on? Lol

No extra zero, I make mules in batches and loricate torque+1 is a relatively easy and useful item to get so every batch goes through sovereign at some point. I do not have an exact number of kills as stated, but if a mule had pulled defending ring I would have noticed when clearing inventories.

I’ve personally seen D Ring drop from SB. Kealoha was there and can vouch for it too.

It drops from SB bro. Previous LS leader on Lakshmi got his that way. I guess it’s easier to believe than say, Dagon breastplate. That definitely doesn’t exist. Oh wait...
