It is a pretty large luck factor, even if the chance is high in total.

It's like with those damn rubies: the percentage(with everything broken) is like 20%, but you get them waaaayyy less. I had to kill like 60 High ranked los for my first ruby.

the game somehow knows what you want and wont give it to you a looong time. A when you don't need it anymore, youll get like 1000 of them. That's maybe the only downside to monster hunter...
