Salvage II - Slavage Harder

[Lah]

My ZR2 today
NQ: 0 drops
HQ: 0 drops
Drop system is retarded, Usu doesn't exist.

In regards to Silver Sea Remnants II, BGWiki shows Seafarer Piliproon (F1 Center NM) being capable of dropping 1-2 Primacy Plans.
My group/duo only started farming Silver Seas when the double plan event started, and everytime we've killed it we've only seen it drop 2 plans. This leads me to believe, that like other first floor NM's, this one can only drop a single plan. Has anyone gotten more plans off of this NM?

Yes. I've gotten two plans multiple times (before the double plan event).

[Peace Walker]

It's double drop-rate:

Without going through 100+ pages, in Arrapago Remnants is it safe to say most kill the top floor khimara boss while attacking from the back? It eliminates getting hit with Lithic Breath?

side is better

FFXIDB drop rates are no longer reliable for Salvage because of double plans, but if you would have checked before it started, Piliproon had a 110%~115% drop rate (one plan guaranteed, one low 10-15% drop rate). Even with the double drops you're still only going to see the guaranteed two more often than not.

That's good to know, I guess we've just been unlucky with drops on this one, possibly due to the lack of TH gear

[cdgreg]

Is anyone soloing for alex? When I say solo I literally mean solo, not dual or triple box. I was hoping to farm some alex as solo BST but not sure if it's possible to kill any HQ bosses for 100% linen.

[Draylo]

Pretty sure it is if you can get inside, they must be a joke now with all the delve items. I haven't done salvage since before Delve though.

[fantasticdan]

The only thing that stopped bst from soloing arrapago hq was the time limit on popping it, should be a joke now.

[cdgreg]

Thanks, I was wondering if I'd be able to kill the Armored Chariot in under 3 minutes so the rampart would pop NQ. I guess the only way to find out is to try. I also considered Gooey or Falcor against Dvergr, just wasn't sure how slow that'd be. Would one of the newer jug pets be better for this? I am not familiar with them as I have not used any of them.

edit: calculating Translucent Broth cost in comparison to selling airlixir+2 it's about 192k a stack or 16k a single jug which wouldn't be bad to use 1 per run. Maybe start with lower jug until all gear is unlocked. Then release>pop Henry>Familiar. This is assuming it would be a better choice then good old Falcor or DIppy.

double edit: if I was naked would Slippery Silas "pop" at level 99? Wiki has his base level at 99. http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Jug_Pets

Naked, so no Monster Gloves/+1/+2 or iLvl weapon? He would spawn as either level 97, 98, or 99 depending on the random number generator. Dunno why they let the mascot pet cap so high, but yeah, that wiki page is accurate.

[NynJa]

If you can equip your jugs, you can definately equip weapons...unless you're a fucking moron

Spoiler: show

If anyone wants to comment that my last line was a little harsh, if you unlock your ranged slot but forget to unlock your weapon slot, you are a fucking moron

[cdgreg]

Oh derp, forgot ammo is probably going to be locked while weapon is 100% at start boo

[Falkirk]

I know you mentioned Dvergr, but like fantasticdan mentioned, Arrapago 2.0 is a joke and the leeches on the first floor are easy to kill. You'll have no problem unlocking ammo there.

[cdgreg]

Thanks, I'll give Arra a whirl

[Terravcota]

What's the dat for chigoes in Arrapago? I'm tired of squinting to see the little buggers. =X
