So they're supposedly taking away BST's TH. Lulzasaurus rex.

I assume it's prolly been done, but has anyone done the Qufim boss as a solo BST? Only clear I never got, assuming it's possible with a good -pdt set.

Getting the weakness item, specifically regen reduction, is pretty much mandatory. He is pretty easy after hes weakened, I would get all the weakness items and use it on him and you should be able to solo him just fine.

I did solo about half of him once because my buddy was dead near him. He didn’t wanna reraise and die w/o re-applying. IIRC his range attack was had a conelike effect or something. I was in the red mostly myself so I couldn’t move it right away.

With a good pdt/reward set, it’s not hard to solo. The hard part for me was poping him w/o getting creamed. Everytime I pop get nailed and pretty much red hp before everything is finally stabilized.

Going /nin might help but I always farmed afterwords so I stay /dnc.

And yes, I strongly suggest weakness items. All of which easily bst soloable.

Well sheet. Guess it's time to unload all my flacorrs lol.

[Yimoa]

i always recalled qufim boss ranged ignoring shadows.

Not sure if this is known, but I was farming attestation NM pop items and was solely targetting the easy prey Hydra as BG wiki mentions those are the only ones that drop attestation NM pop items.

After getting my needed attestations we went to farm the DC Hydra for thoughts, and well, we saw this:

[20:19:34]Fredjan gains 72 limit points.
[20:19:34]You find an odious tree root on the Hydra Monk.
[20:19:34](2*) You find a forgotten thought on the Hydra Monk.
[20:19:34]You find a Tukuku whiteshell on the Hydra Monk.
[20:19:34]You find a villain's fortune parchment on the Hydra Monk.

Seems the DC ones drop them too. Something to add on BG wiki.

It shouldn't say that, I've personally gotten several Parchments off of the T (then) Hydras when helping Gorion get Gobblefap for his Aegis. Let me go check.

EDIT- Pages are fixed.

I personally just checked the mob pages; although there's no notes on the pages of the fortunes themselves. Went by the drop tables listed.

Coincidentally, I think they may also have a higher drop rate on them. We got a fair bit of fortunes off a small amount of mobs; maybe we just got lucky.

I think that the drop rates are slightly higher off of the DC ones also, but you can also kill the EP ones a lot faster so it is a wash.

[Churchill]

at 99, DC are better unless your ??? is near the EP mobs. NMs are still a bit of a dick though, SAM/RNG/DRK was manageable if you don't play silly, I am more worried about doing MNK/THF/NIN seems like a bit of fun.

[dasva]

Depends on what job you on. As a bst soloing or duoing the DC are significantly harder and slower to kill. Also dualboxed mnk/thf/nin one with pld/dnc and bst/rdm (/rdm since it has almost no gear no skill in magic and no merits) very easily.

[Auronku]

Haven't seen it posted, but has anyone reported the possibility of Arch Dynamis Lord dropping multiple Umbral Marrows? We had been working under the assumption it was a single 100% drop. We received 2 Umbral Marrows though from the Arch DL we killed tonight. This was our 3rd kill since the addition of the Marrow items and the other 2 times we just received 1 Umbral Marrow. Didn't think to screenshot the double drop, but it definitely took us by surprise. I'm assuming everyone who has killed it since then has received at least 1 Umbral Marrow?

EDIT: Link to screenshot that another member took, posted in drop thread:

Yeah we got 2 today as well.

as well as possibly adding pet: TH items, this could be even better, depending on what kind of bone they decide to throw us.
though as it has been said, most will probably be easy to get. being a bst still lacks the secret impact it did a few years back :<

bst was never a job that needed expensive gear... just an apollo's staff back in the day... but the other good (charming) gear was pretty specialized and only available in limbus upgrades.

the return of thief's knife (pre makeing it available to masses) for BST! If they make pt TH available to BST it will most likely be from some krakenclub like drop.

I'm hoping its really easy to get, but as a turn around, Is a Scythe.

[Esvedium]

A scythe with Damage: 48 and -40% pet attack.

[Tanag]

So is BST the best way to farm Neo Dynamis now? My friend and I can pull 200 singles duo on average as THF and MNK, how much of an increase would we get if we leveled to BST?

[loyaltrekie]

Think the real question is how much real benefit does TH add to drops in dynamis. IIRC under the new system the proc system helps out infinitely more then TH[TH still effects lolarmor dorps?]. So go with your best class that can proc and kill?

Nah, I'd rather it be a bitch to get. If it's just a weapon, no matter how crap, then they can just swap it out after a WS for one attack round. Not like pets can get TH procs so doesn't even matter when you'd switch it in during a fight.

Too Mild an inconvenience. Would prefer it hard to get so that the bandwagon asshole bsts are completely fucked, while the good bsts are just provided with a mild annoyance.
