Salvage II - Slavage Harder

[TheDangerousDave]

How am I meant to do the gears on SSR2 floor 3 exactly? I sacked both ramparts so 3 singles, triple and rampart are up but I can't pull without all link now?

I just engage each rampart and supertank all the gears.

[TheDangerousDave]

I'll try it next time but I doubt I'll not get raped.

[Helel]

Why not just sleep them if you're really concerned about getting killed? Shouldn't be hard to supertank them though. The first one is slightly more difficult simply because you're missing quite a bit of gear.

Use sneak, get all of your people who will be meleeing directly behind the rampart, and then hit it. If you did it correctly the single gears won't link with the triple. Your healer can't cure until you get back out of there though. You can also pulls singles without linking from that position. Occasionally if its bad aggro time, I don't remember if it's day or night for that, they'll link anyway, at which point you run the healer in and just do a standard super tank.

sac pull the tripple, and the singles will not link if pulled from the right direction (sight link apparently).

[Lyltia]

There's no need to tank, sleep, or otherwise engage them. If you fail and aggro the singles, just run to the east/west towards the center to deaggro, have someone else follow the Archaic Gears and tag it as soon as it stops moving. Takes, like, 10 seconds, considering that you have to kill the Rampart if you do succeed and can ignore it if you don't

I started a mass debate on this like a month a go I know but I'm far too lazy to siv through the thread to look for it.

Whats an easy way to pop 6F ZR Frog without doing 1F Frog?

Are you asking for a strategy without an SSR card? You'll have to be fast with that, but it's probably possible if you can cleave 3F.

2F Frog (Dupe)
2F Imp (SSR card - have to kill it now)
3F Frog (Clear S or N) OR 4F Frog (30 min)*
5F Frog (3 Unlocks)
6F Frog

*If you do 4F frog make sure you get 3MP cells before porting up. Kill 4F frog, then clear the Mamools. Pick the wrong rampart and reload the floor as necessary to full unlock 3 characters before porting to 5F.

Gear drops on 1F/2F are set droppers so you could dat swap and not worry about wasting time killing non droppers.

Is that what you're looking for or do you need more detail?

[LidenbokValour]

Yeah, a strat without the card would be nice ^^

[Helel]

Do 3rd floor south and 4th floor north (under 30m requirement). You shouldn't need to reload the floor as you'll have a crapload of cells from killing all the south mamools. Just make sure you have space.

[detlef]

You're going to be cutting it very close on time if you try to hit both 3f south frog and 4f north frog, especially if you are multi-boxing.

A safer way would be to hit 3f south frog, 4f south frog, and 5f south frog.

Although the best way would be to farm SSR for some cards.

Managed to do 30min frog cause we didnt have any SSR cards. Did it 3 times in a row I believe, pre-embrava nerf and post nerf. Set up was WAR THF SCH.

F1: Embrava > kill puks for JA > thf to NE teleporter, finish farming. Everyone should have weapon, magic, abilities, SJ > UP NE

F2: Cleave all lizards, you can get fucked on virga cells or ranged I believe, if everyone doesnt have virga or ranged use them to pop the NM in the room on the slot, if you got enough virga/ranged, pop the frog with any cells.
THF flee to SW for legs/feet cell for movement speed, WAR finishes NW/SE. should be full equip unlocked. UP

F3: Head west? I believe, whichever direction has the stats, cleave each room 1 by 1, after 1st 3 rooms everyone should be full stat unlocked. Head east to north path pull the first three rooms and cleave all of them. Go to big room (make sure regen, shell5, phalanx etc and get ready to cure bomb. spells still hit hard sometimes at 99), pull the whole room and drag group back to black mage mamool and cleave all of them. Kill rampart, kill frog, up.

We usually made it around the 28minute mark. We brought a 4th person one time and they went THF and they got extra stuff that dropped but you only need 3 people fully unlocked to hit that 1 frog. Just make sure the thf ends up with hands/legs/feet at a minimum.


On a side note if someone wants to update the wiki or please back me up on this:

BR2: if you have enwater on while fighting both the Dahak & Smouldering Dahak they will not use tp moves! Mentioned it earlier but no one said shit! This makes the first floor much easier!

you got 0 cards in 3 runs? Thats VERY unlucky

[Terravcota]

I read it as they just went and did Zhay, 3x, without cards...

Also, Cravy's strat seems to imply that 2F frog is optional. If you're going for 6F and you don't have an SSR card, it's not - you need to hit 4NMs. (2F, 3F, 4F, 5F -> 6F)

Worded poorly, did three runs of ZR1 with no SSR card.

Meant it more like, dont use random cells to pop it unless youre sure everyone gets virga cells and ranged cells. You have to pop that frog.

No:

BLU rounds up the mobs from each room. Whirl of rage should take them out. Move on to the next. At the final room, SCH or RDM makes sure everyone has buffs, mainly phalanx, and then runs to north teleport. BLU + THF round up all the mamools from the final room, kill them with gates of hades. Kill rampart and frog. SCH ports up.

If you miss any stats just reload the floor, after killing the frog of course. You should have ~5-8m remaining. It's really very easy. The hardest part is passing/lotting the cells, but you really only need to focus on MP.
