Ix'MNK

[Pezant]

A few members in my linkshell are looking to farm Ix'MNK for a few Merciful Capes. I've killed this nm a few times with them and also my linkshell. I'm just curious if anyone had any ballpark figures as to what the drop rate on Ix'MNK is using 1, 2 or 3 organs. It seems everytime we've popped it with 3 organs we get the deed. Also everytime we've popped it with 1 organ we never seem to get any drop. Thanks for the help.

Since it was patched long time ago, drop rate is something like :
25% with 1 organ
100% with 3 organs.
Probably 50-75% with 2 but I'm not sure.


Cape drop rate is ~5% for other 2 Ix, so I would say 5% for this one too.

Last night my LS killed this NM 3 times, once with 1 organ, and twice with 2.
No drops... lolsea T_T

EDIT: Each time we did the 2 organ pop, we just killed the MNK (which causes the RDM to depop), I was wondering if anyone killed the RDM before the MNK and notices and increase in droprate?

Cape drops 5%? Not even close. BG's data puts it right around 20%. For my LS, it's been right around 25%.

[Mystier]

Yeah, Unfortunately the Drop rate for this cape pretty much sucks. Our linkshell has gotten 2 capes in 8 months. I won't say we pop it a ton but even so its about 5%. On a side note both times we have gotten the cape we only used one organ.

i hate you T_T

No way it's 20-25%. 5% might be a little too low, but it's not above 10% for sure.

[Not Kuno]

20% my ass. It's less then 5% for us.

What's everyone's typical pop for this? 1-3 organs? Kill all NMs? Just MNK, let others depop? When have you gotten deed/cape - with what pop and kill order?

Sorry, it was Limitbreak's data, it was just posted here:

ix.mnk
deed placidity 30/39
merciful cape 8/39

ix.drk
deed moderation 27/34
altruistic cape 5/34

ix.drg
deed sensibility 23/30
astute cape 6/30

We talked about this somewhat in the recent AV on Fairy thread, starting around p. 28. I'm still inclined to believe that the Qn's killed affecting cape drop rate vs. deed drop rate is worth looking into.

1-3 organs?

mix?

Don't know, I'm not in Limitbreak. My LS typically only pops with 3 organs. I've missed the last few sea events while moving, but I don't think we've had a no-drop MNK in a while. We actually had 3 straight cape drops, if I recall correctly, but our overall drop rate has been worse than DRG's or DRK's.

Edit: We don't bother to kill the pops. Just Grav kite them at the far end of the room and beat down the MNK quickly.

[wop]

I wouldn't even bother wasting time on 1 organ pops.

0/18+ on capes AND deed with 1 organ.

Suiram might be on to something, but my sample is too low to conclude anything.
2/2 on Cape with 3 organ pops killing Ix'MNK first (hold the Qn)
3/3 on Deed (no Cape), with 3 organ pops killing Ix'MNK last

ah-ha! I see, so the secret of getting a cape is to kill with banish III!

Take what you will from our numbers on Ix'MNK:

22 1-Organ spawns:
8 Deeds
6 Vices

6 2-Organ spawns:
2 Deeds
0 Vices

22 3-Organ spawns:
17 Deeds
4 Vices

Not sure what the deal is with only 21 drops from 22 3-Organ spawns. Maybe we fucked up and got ourselves killed on one. Or maybe its not 100%. From an Organ standpoint, our record says 1-Organ spawn is the most efficient. But factoring in the time, we typically go for 3-Organ. Waiting 15 minutes just to see it pop on the other side is annoying.

This bastard has never dropped a cape for us not once... I hate him soooooo much ; ; (10 times or even more mostly 3 organs and Jailer Pop is not 100 <.<)

For my LS, we're 5/30 on the cape, 4 of the 5 coming on single organ trades. We haven't really used 2-3 organ pops alot; however, looking at other LSs, it seems that the # of organs traded only affects the trigger. The most efficient way to do this is probably just taking 2 small groups to camp both sides then do single pops. Then I guess farm chips while waiting.

Also, has anyone ever gotten the Ix'DRK cape drop without killing the 2 RNG Qn'aerns? In about 20 kills, we've never killed the RNGs (usually just zone everything and pick off the DRK as it goes back to spawn to isolate). Wondering if that's why we never get the cape.

[Olorin]

we always kill the Qn, w/ the drk and never the ones w/ the mnk we have always done 3 organs pops are we are something like 2/10 or so on the mnk for capes and 3/12 or so on the drk. I dont really see a reason not to kill th Qn' aerns w/ the drk they are relatively easy to kite and kill, and the drk is by far the easiest of the iX to kite.

[NynJa]

Cape drop rate is ~5% for other 2 Ix, so I would say 5% for this one too.

Well I've killed Ix'DRG three times in a BLM PT (this was a while ago though), and got 2 capes and one deed.
