For the longest time, I thought about RNG as isolated events. Like, if I was farming a specific drop and killed 100 monsters without getting it, I felt like I was no closer to the goal than when I started. Each kill felt like a coin flip that just kept landing on the wrong side. It was frustrating.

Recently though, I shifted the way I think about RNG, and it’s honestly made the grind feel way better.

Now I imagine that all my future drops are already laid out, like they exist on a long timeline. Somewhere in that finite future, the drop I’m going for is sitting there, waiting. Every dry kill isn’t just a miss, it’s one step closer to that eventual drop. I just don’t know how many steps are left.

This mindset turned what used to feel like pointless dry streaks into actual progress. Even if I’m 300 KC dry, I tell myself: “Well, I’m closer now than I was before.”

Might sound a bit silly, but it helps me stay sane during the grinds. Just thought I’d share in case it helps anyone else stuck in RNG hell!
