Same goes with AF+1 material, if a chest can yield let's say 1 BLM or RDM or WHM AF+1 material, you try to be smart and keep RDM+WHM in your inventory thinking only BLM will drop then => you get nothing.

1. game choose which drop you'll get (in case of o.hat well it's "100%")
2. if you (if solo) or everyone have it => nothing drop

No item is 100% drop rate.

Highest chance is 255/256, or 99.6%. It was a programming error on SE's part, and the whole game would have to be reworked to fix it, but that's so rare that it's barely an issue. Call a GM and you can most likely get your pop item back, but they won't give you the hat you worked so hard for.

We all know that, already did Ix'mnk w/ 3 organs pop where it was supposed to be "100%", nothing dropped, and GM expressly told that nothing was 100%. Hence the " ".

You still call these 100% drop unless you wanna be a smart *** and annoys people remembering them that "nothing is 100%". Someone asks you about a such drop, you'll answer "np it's a 100% drop" and not "goodluck man, it's a 99.6% drop".

And I highly doubt a GM will give them back a pop item, they messed up, having everyone in an alliance owning a rare/ex item = no drop, that's not a bug or anything.

Even if this is the case, I won't argue whether it is or not, but the reason they didn't get the drop is because everyone in their group had an Ohat. It works this way for all rare/ex items. They will not get their pop item back from calling a GM.

Now, there's one time where my group had fought the dune boots NM and not gotten drop, that would be an example of one of the .4% chance occurrences.

I completely didn't see the line that OP had written beforehand that said everyone had it. Figured it wouldn't be the case since there's no reason to kill Hakutaku if everyone has the hat.
