I just got it too. For what it's worth, given a 2% chance and 100 tries, that only comes up to a cumulative probability of 87% chance of one success. After 250 trials, that goes up to 99.7%, which means there's rarely going to be that one unlucky bastard who doesn't get it after 300+ tries.

It's a pretty shitty system, honestly, and if there's ever a mod that would be great for this game, it'd be increasing the drop rate for these items to a balanced probability (e.g. five possible items from a chest = 20% chance for each), or simply modifying certain chests' loot to static drops.

More practically, at the very least it's not really a necessary item. BBI equipment has plenty of resists, and there are plenty of other countermeasures like curative items and skills like the MA's Ward Arrow. If you're like me and really want it for whatever reason (like fashion flexibility), bring your phone, portable console, or watch a movie while you do this. You can always try trading for one or just using a save editor or Cheat Engine to just hack one in if it gets unbearable.
