Salvage II - Slavage Harder

**NynJa** · 2012-12-12 17:57

Any reports on alexandrite counts?

**Jem** · 2012-12-12 18:07

We got around 100-120 ish on our run. Not sure on exact amount as we just let everything freefall. Was basically 1 Linen + 1 Cotton + 20 ish singles. Singles seemed to be same as normal SSR and basically started dropping 3F upwards.

I bet a lot of the NM's we did have a chance to drop Cotton purses, they just didn't for us since the random 1 Cotton off a 2F NM but not anywhere higher just seems odd. Especially given we killed Long-Armed Chariot on 3F.

**Rida** · 2012-12-12 18:09

Killed the SSR mega boss was a Dvergr. Was Pretty easy using Embrava set up was Weakened MNK + THF, Full strength NIN, DRK BRD SCH WHM. Dropped THF 45 Legs and a Linen Purse. We also popped am Orobon, Fomor and Penguin NM on the lower floors. NIN/MNK/SAM 45 hands dropped off the Fomor I think. Sorry if the info is a little basic.

Oh and it gives the title "Moon Maven"

Edit~ Mega boss was called Bloodthirsty Dvergr

Okay Bhaflau Remnants WHM RDM PUP WAR THF

1st Floor
We got 1 spellcasting 2 weapons and some other random stuff ( didn't get any spellcasting for many floors use wisely)
We opened the east door which had x2 flys were quite strong for first mobs in zone (a lot stronger than the rest of the stuff) Gave us 3 equip random unlocks
1 pudding east and 1 pudding west these were very squishy and not strong at all. One kept spamming synergism perhaps make it absorb the other one we didn't try.

Moblin Armsman x2, killing both of these spawned Throat Tearer Tregotrog which dropped Ritualistic Page and Cotton Purse

Dahak, be careful of nulsong didnt drop anything but unlocked HP and MP on one person

Floor 2
2nd floor lamp gave us 70 unlocks remaining got to choose from lots of gear to unlock but no spellcasting and JAs sadly
SE Troll Stoneworker dropped SJ DEX and JA
SW Smelter dropped JA AGI and SJ
NW Gemologist SJ VIT and Spellcasting
NE Cameist MND Spell

Went East to troll lapidarists only killed one out of 3 he dropped STR and Spell

Went south east path to a troll Pugilist who dropped x2 Tutelary plans

3rd floor
Lamp had 50 left JA Spells could unlock finally
Lots of gears on this floor nothing special, single gears terrible alex drop rate with a thf
East and west both spawn a rampart once all gears dead, rampart uses reinforcements which summons lots of triple gears. We killed everything and no nm spawned or anything speical
Went up the east door.

4th Floor
Stats including CHR and INT could be unlocked at this lamp (CHR and INT for first time I think)
Gears didn't tele when linked we killed all gears on way up.
In middle was Long Bowed Chariot. He was extremely weak and did nothing special. Didn't spawn anything at all
Next room were Acroliths x2. Once both were dead a larger Acrolith spawned which again was nothing special. Dropped x1 Ritual page

3 triple gears popped in final room but we skipped as were at 10 minute mark for the boss.
Perhaps killing them would have spawned another NM

5th Floor
A rampart awaits at top which could not target. He summoned Cerberus who was total pushover until about 20% where his defence seemed to go sky high
He also got massive stoneskins from magma holpon and spammed gates of hades quite a bit. Eventually he went down
Dropped Namu's Crackows and Neit's Crown (45 Marduk Feet and 45 Morrigan Head)
Total 40 Alexandrite. 11 from pouch off Goblin NM.
Didn't quite kill mega boss before the 3 minute mark so didn't get title.

**Jem** · 2012-12-12 18:12

Been told to mention this by the healer in our group.

On the 2F + 3F his cures were randomly costing double MP at times. No idea if this was a glitch or what (he was SCH).

Interesting yours had a longer name, if Zephr's was called "Hydra" then its probably safe to say you got the HQ version if one exists.
Could also be that is its normal name instead of just plain old "Dvergr".

Dvergr popped on the 4F for us.
Bloodthirsty Dvergr popped on 5F as the mega boss.

Wasn't on his run but we also just did that zone.

Ah that debunks that theory then :/

**Rida** · 2012-12-12 18:35

Yeah the floor previous popped a standard Dvergr. We took all left options at every choice too.
Also Weapons and bodies seem to be the rare drop and not till the 3rd floor so use any Weapon options at the first lamp sparingly.

**Mrp** · 2012-12-12 18:38

Did SSR2

Fought the NM paladin , NM psychfly (w/e) , fought dvergr dropped lvl 45 ares feet.

We wipe on NM cuz he was spamming Tier 5 spell for 2400dmg. took him to 65% with thf monk sch nin

we diD'nt had that many equip, could have used more.

**mdkuser** · 2012-12-12 19:36

After a second run in arrapago i think I figured everything out except 5ths floor. The pathos unlocking is pretty straight forward so im not goign to tell who drops what just kill 3 of each mob.

There seems to be NMs on each floor (couldn't find 5th floor one). NMs droped [bloodshed plans] and [umbrage plans] (one NM can drop 3).

Set up: tri-boxing BRD WHM MNK ( Daurdabla 99 gjallarhorn 99 spharai 99), I poped 6 NMs including boss and exited with 20 min left.

First floor: mobs unlock everything but stats, body, SJ and weapon. 2 or 3 unlocks per mob, one of the 3 is not 100%. I didnt check if killing all lamias poped a NM like original arrapago.

Second floor: kill the 2 Lamias > 4 gear POP, kill them > a 5Th gear pops, its a NM.

Third floor: stats unlocks (dex agi mnd int).
There is a Acrolith NM north route.
Gear NM when you open the door (possibly after killing the single gear among lamias).

4th floor: kill 2 acrolith > acrolith NM pops.

5th floor: armor, weapon and SJ unlocks from gear.
Ramparts don't move and pop triple gearsx8.
Gears drop STR.
Killing the ramparts didn't pop any NM.
Assuming you have to kill all gears (total= 32...) or kill before they use reinforcement (need 2 DD for a skill chain).

6th floor: Armored chariot up on warp, among normal chariots. It is not a NM but a trigger to pop a rampart.
Rampart spawns a Khimera NM, droped [Genta-no-Hakama]

7th floor: untargetable rampart pops Khimera prideleader Boss which droped [Genta Kote] and linen puch.

None of the NMs where a threat with MNK+WHM.

Lv 45 gears and Plans are transferable to mules.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-12-12 20:07

Cleared Zhayolm, just going to drop the notes here:
Toads - CHR/DEX/Back+Waist
Crawlers - VIT/STR/Ear+Rings

They reward about 3 per kill

BST - Weapon
Ninja - Sub job/HP
BLU - Sub job/AGI
NW - Umbrage

10 -> 6 -> 3 -> 3
South Path
Pugil - INT
Rampart can pop Archaic Gears which drop Bloodshed Plans
BLM - MP + Spellcasting
Gear popped when we opened the door and dropped Umbrage

Diremite - AGI
Savants and bounders

Gears - Hand, head/neck, body, legs/foot
Rampart popped Gears, which unlocked ranged/ammo twice, NQ gear once, and Mamool Ja Backstabber (Feint) - Dropped 2x bloodshed plans - popped another gear
Killed Arcane Chariot in the big room and popped Battleclad Chariot - 2x Bloodshed, 1x Umbrage, Cotton Coinpurse

NQ Hydra popped from the north rampart and dropped Marduk feet 45
Acroliths could use Dismemberment

HQ Hydra popped on the next floor from an untargetable Rampart - Dropped Morri hands /Usu head 45s and a Linen

118 Alexandrite total

**SteveMc** · 2012-12-12 20:12

After ZR, Hydra dropped 45 Usu head and 45 Ares hands, on 3rd floor we had a frog pop, but as we seen it we were ported up thinking nothing was there.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-12-12 20:23

Oh, another thing to watch out for. Has anyone seen TH proc on a NM in there?

I was on THF the whole time and only saw a TH proc vs. the HQ Hydra. Trash mobs procced, but none of the lesser NMs procced.

Also worth noting that we were all full unlocked by the last floor.

**mdkuser** · 2012-12-12 20:59

Th only seem useful for alexandrites lol.

**Kanachan** · 2012-12-12 21:03

Semi-cleaned notes from Bhaflau Remnants II.
tl;dr NQ Cerb is a dick < 20% if it decides to spam hoplon, but not a hard kill.

Spoiler: show

**Elizara** · 2012-12-12 22:20

Ok, if people were wondering, here's the missing requirements for neo salvage:

1. I might be off on this but you need to have v.1 clears done. Not sure if it's full or just the zone you're doing but to be safe, have all 4 v.1 clears done. (We had some people in our group that were missing clears and we couldn't go in until they dropped)
2. You might have to talk to the new mithra that has to do with salvage. this one I'm not 100% about; I'm surer about the clears, this needs confirming.

Also you need to have the requirements for v.1 salvage and I don't think that needs repeating.

Hope that helps.

**Xera** · 2012-12-12 22:33

In regards to Bhaf II.

Floor 1: After killing NQ Dahak and around the time we opened the portal door a NM Dahak popped in the room. Dropped Ritualistic Plans.
Floor 3: We popped and killed all the triple gears spawned by the stationary ramparts, then proceeded to kill both stationary ramparts at the same time. Nothing seemed to happen in any of the rooms other than the rampart's corpses not depopping.
NQ Boss: Formless strikes ignored the damage reduction. Dropped Ares 45 mask.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-12-12 22:43

Arrapago notes (Sorry they're pretty much unreadable)

Vulture - Support job / back+waist / Head+neck
Kabukidancer - JA/Max HP down/Leg+foot
Leech - Ranged/Ammo / Rings/earrings /
Shadowdancer - Spellcasting - Hand - Max MP down
Clearing the first wing allowed us to agro a Chigoe that dropped Umbrage

Kill 4 gears in each wing, Fifth that is an NM will pop, dropped Bloodshed

Flytrap - AGI/DEX/MND (West side) - Killed the first room
Qutrub (East side) - INT : Had an Acrolith among them that dropped Umbrage
There were gears in the far corner of each room at the end of the paths north/south, but I was fleeing to the porter so we didn't kill them

North side - killed two Acroliths and a third popped
Fatedealer - CHR and VIT
Killing most of the room (but not one Fatedealer) popped Lamia Spoliator which used EES and dropped bloodshed plans

Archaic Gear - Body and main/sub
Rampart in the big room (NE?) spawned a set of ~6 Archaic Gears in its corner that hit for 200-300 damage. Painful.

Armored Chariot on the next floor did nothing notable.
Pulled the Rampart before clearing the floor and it popped yet another chariot. Cleared the floor before killing it and it never used Reinforcements again.

NQ Khim pop
