No shit, is that pos data taken from guildwork plugin also?

[Yugl]

Yes. The difficulty atm is distinguishing between pop and (depop? hacks?) points since the game sends the same packet for both apparently.

Why did ffxidb stop showing paramount naraka and anything it drops?

Edit:

I just checked logs and realised it always falls to the ground

Was wondering the same thing myself when I was looking up Duplus Grip drop rate.

[The Stig]

I read BST can solo Fafnir/Nidhogg, but I was concerned about the damage output of the 2 NMs.

Kinda want to get myself a Ridill and Ebody and Mbody. Can anyone provide any insight to the fight? Should I sic pet on Faffy and just back the shit off and feed it when required, or stand at Faffy's paw and melee/be safe?

Otherwise I can only assume if I stand behind Fafnir (I will never generate enough hate for spike flail, unless my pet hits the bucket), or to the side and far away to avoid breath. I want to sub THF for treasure hunter at least, so I wish to know if I need to bring lots of potions.

Pet is of course Dipper/Falcor.

Sorry, 1 more. Behemoth I know BST can solo, but I've not read anything about King Behemoth. Anyone that can share experiences? Won't mind snagging myself Whead either lol. And of course, Dring if I get lucky enough.

Soloing Fafhogg shouldn't be an issue on BST, you just need to be quick with the snarls if you grab hate. If you get terror'd on Niddy, he'll likely start to wing spam.

With that said, I'd say you're wasting your time without having a THF. The droprate for sweet tea and ridill is terrible (0/30+ for our group with TH10+ each faf kill for sword).

BST can safely solo the KS99 behemoth, so King Behemoth should be no issue. Gooey is a good pet for him.

[The Stig]

Thanks. And yeh I realise I'd be wasting time but currently I do not wish to build a relic and I'm after some "cheap thrills" until FF14

I'll be subbing THF for the Fafhogg fights, so I'll probably build some TP and start the fight with some melee and eventually back off then because my healing will be limited. Although it does sound like Ridill drops are not affected by TH and seems to be just a dice roll (just speculation, I know I'm probably wrong but I've always been slightly skeptical with TH in this game).

I didn't know KS99 Behemoth is similar to King Behemoth (except the Meteor thing), so that sounds good! Wheads here I come!

It's a shame I can't solo Aspid ... would love a Wbody to complete the "set" lol

[DanDan]

So I've been playing around with SAM's DPS calculator and have realised that Ig-Alima will screw up my current gear set-up with his crazy stats uncapping my ATK/ACC.

What I'm wondering is - what other NMs have stats comparable to Ig-Alima's (or exceed its stats)?

[TacoTaru]

What if any pieces of Morrigan's +1 are good for SCH?

Body, but if you don't have access to Nares, then the hands and feet(with Klimoform down) for nuking, as well as Fea's slops are good for fast/precast set, that's all I can think of right now, that could be used for.

[Taim Meich]

SCH AF3+2 body is overall superior to Nares and Morrigan +1. Morrigan +1 hands, however, offer the absolute best combination of mab and macc SCH has available in that slot.

If you need the macc it is, but if you're capped on macc then Morrigan's+1 pulls ahead and even more so with adding the other 2 pieces.

So looking to start up trioing some salvage new and old and wondering what good/optimum setups would be job wise.

[NynJa]

1-DD
2-THF / BRD/THF
3-WHM / SCH

[Obsidian]

RDM works fine as well.

[dasva]

1-DD
2-THF / BRD/THF
3-WHM / SCH

Like in that order for each slot? Any DDs that work better?

[Prothescar]

BLU
THF
WHM

works for me, occasionally have a BRD that comes with us too. did our first Bhaflau II today, cleared all gears and timed out on seether @ 1% 'cause my WHM mule crashed on the first fly and thus I died, losing us 5 minutes.
