You can go with standard group setups for T1 Zilart and be just fine. Just make sure whoever you have grabbing the adds is keeping them out of range of everyone else. The scorpion, for example, uses TP moves at the same time as his adds, so you can MPK people pretty easily if their AoEs are all overlapping. I wouldn't worry about holding the adds, though, you can just kill them. Staggers get bonus lights while the adds are dead, and they're really not any harder than EP/DC mobs would be at level 95.

[Kaisha]

Helps to have the add holder initiate the fight so they can super-tank the adds without worry of ever losing hate as long as no one touches them.

[macross]

We tried super tanking but somehow they would still add onto others at some point.

[Rehn]

Does flat blade work on akvan if he casts death and has magic shield up? >_> Just had a spectacularly fail run earlier, but the spell death seems to have been a problem for the shout group (along with gaze, but tanks were just stupid).

[Helel]

It should. You can also use shock squall or any of the bashes. Worse comes to worse, he's very easy to kite around the pot room.

Did you have summoners? Because releasing an avatar always screws up supertanking hate

Yeah should summon and release outside of 30 when supertanking shit (learned that the hard way too).

[macross]

Yeah try to bring one smn always. People did mention it was summoners messing it up.

And yeah you can ws stun through magic shield, I was doing shoulder tackles on pup. I assume violent flourish will work too, but i wasn't /dnc to try.

Anyone able to fill in the blanks for the common drops from the missing slots?

Uptala


Plan on doing something for the wiki later.

[Fwahm]

It's not concrete by any means, but from my linkshell's experiences Strophadic Earring seems to be the common drop from Aello, and Aliyat Chakram is the common from Pil.

I think we've gotten one of each of Ace's Mail and Arbuda Grip from Uptala in 3 kills with 18 people, so dunno there. One would think it'd be the grip, but who knows?

[Churchill]

There was a report of something like 12 mails in 6 fights or something silly like that, making it seem like the weapon/weapon were HQ drops and the rest common

[Kaisha]

My LS has done 6 Kaggen kills so far and we've yet to see a single drop off him other than the eye with capped lights + cells.

Random is random, but that many bodies in that few of fights is a bit questionable.

[Deader2818]

You'd be shocked. We have seen quite a few bodies off of Kaggen and Akvan. We've seen more bodies then bullets, lol.

[Alkimi]

Not sure if it was mentioned before but Ildebrann's massive AoE TP moves (Tebbad Wing, Inferno Blast) have a significantly smaller AoE than the same ones used by Tiamat. Maybe 16' or 20' not sure. Also has a potent Burn Aura while in the air.

Even so, I'd go with the previous recommendation of just PD zerging it if you're trying to get it out the way for the clear, for us he had far too much HP to leave it in the air and kill reliably in 30 minutes.

[macross]

We gota bunch of ace's mails (3-4) our first kill, but we haven't gone back to kill it much. Chakram does seem pretty common too.

Gotten back to back bodies off kaggen, about it for us.

[Slycer]

Pil is definitely Chakram and Aello is definitely Earring. I'm not sure about Uptala. Just looking at the drops you'd assume the grip would be the common one and the mail would be the rare one, but when we did it I think we got about equal of both so I can't really tell you for sure. Based on reports above it sounds like Mail is the common one, though.

I'm thinking the drop rate is something like...

Common Drop >> Rare Drop = NQ Weapon >>>>> HQ Weapon

The NQ weapons are pretty rare, definitely quite a bit rarer than the common drop.

In case it wasn't posted somewhere else, Silver Mirrors were added not only back to tier 4 of city paths, but also to tier 3 (maybe lower too? idk). Got one off Melancholic Moira last night.

Mirrors drop off all the T1,T2 Jeuno mobs. Not sure about Zilart.

Seems like mirrors are the only goddamn thing I can get out of VW. I haven't spammed anything in particular yet, but out of running through all tiers of the city paths with a few repeats on T3 and 4's (about 4 fights each) I haven't seen anything of value personally, and only like 2-3 of the desirable body/head crafting mats and 2-3 pieces of gear in the group. At least you can make some ok gil off the crap drops.

[Radec]

Got mirrors as low as T2 bastok path last night.
