Skirmish: Findings and Information

[Obsidian]

Got Faithful Legs III from soul pyre off a leafkin mob in Hennetiel. Was the first mob I killed in the zone, rain weather up. Unfortunately I lacked those spectacle things and wasn't able to open it...

Gonna go pay a visit to the Mummer's coalition methinks.

[Arthars]

first mob first pyre thingy always seem to wield an item, and usually most likely a body part

but so far the first item first pyre theory only apply when kinda no one in zone or after i wake up from sleep.......

i tried rezone after getting a part and doesnt work haha

anyway its just a conspiracy theory, you guys can see if it happened to you as well.

Saw piece in a pyre in Moh Gates. Attempted to get an couldn't. So if I have this right need 3 pieces to enter Skirmish. Onnce inside what is the obective? Only 1 person needs all 3 items to bring the group of 3-6 people in?

Yes, only need one set of three items. Objectives are similar to Meeble: kill all mobs or kill NMs etc.

A pair of Faithful's Legs V just showed up on Odin, but I'm not having much luck asking the JP where they got them from.

[Byrthnoth]

A friend got Faithful Legs V in Foret doing Reives, I think.

morimar reives

also, got rala visage II in rala again. well from 2nd pyre....

is it confirmed or mentioned that only rala drop rala head, and cirdas drop cirdas head? or people actually gotten rala from cirdas and vice versa?

[Karbuncle]

When we got the two Back-To-Back heads, one was Rala, one was Cirdas. This was in Rala Waterways.

You can see them in friends bazaar (http://www.ffxiah.com/player/Asura/Loneshadow)

[mdkuser]

I got rala visage I in foret.

[Tsuneo]

It seems like the lower tier items can be obtained in any of the zones, but the higher tier stuff only seemed to start appearing when people started reiving in Morimar/Hennetiel, but that could possibly just be a coincidence.

When you HELM, Is the Visage Put into your Pool Randomly after Attempting a HELM Activity?

[ikariiiii]

Any time a simulacrum drops it drops to your pool, even after completing a coalition mission. I almost lost one due to being 80/80... decided to toss an eft skin before zoning and it dropped into my inventory... *sweatdrop*

[Yeager]

Got axe up to 97 dmg with +1 stone... triple digit D 1 hd weapon here we come!

What.....the......fuck??

i believe it goes to pool if your in a party in reives and pyres

but if ur solo-ing HELMing, it will directly go to ur bag, as per soloing mobs, XXX obtains a xxxx part.

i been HELMing with 2 ID in pt but havent see any dorp so idk if HELM goes to pool or not...
also have reports that reives is immediate. 1 or more people out of the PT/alliance can have the immediate XXX obtains a part. again i didnt see it personally, but it was mentioned by people in this thread

[Renzy]

Got a Faithful's Torso III from a Rala Waterway's Patrol assignment with the Peacekeeper's Coalition (using 3 tags).
It automatically went into the treasure pool.

[Karbuncle]

judging by the amount of Bayld, I can assume you used 3 Tags?

[Fake]

Was killing stuff in Rala and got Faithful Torso 1 off first pyre, killed stuff for the next hour and got another ~10 pyres with bayld/logs/random harvesting crap.

May be coincidence but there seems to be a lot of reports of people getting pieces off one of their first few pyres and then jack shit for a long time after. Maybe there is some cooldown built into them.

[Taruina]

Second mob in Rala, it was one of the red Toads.
(disregard the fandance timer)

[Seha]

Inb4 you can't obtain one until next jp midnight... <_<

[Karbuncle]

That's probably just luck. I've gotten Bayld and even MOKO GRASS(Fking wth) on my first kill IN rala Waterways a few times now, and also gotten 2 Heads back to back as fourth/fifth (or third/fourth?) Sparkle piles. This was at/around ~8PM EST or so, maybe a little later, so no JP midnight there... Wish i would have thought to SS it...

There could be some unknown "Increased chance" Factor on your first Sparkle Pile, But if we line up "My first pile was Bayld" against the "My first pile was a (skirmish)", We could see clear evidence there ain't sh*t too it but you just got lucky lol. Just I'm pretty sure less people come to BG to say "I GOT BAYLD ON MY FIRST PYRE" than they do to report a Skirmish piece on their first Pyre. I forgot the Phrase/Word to describe it, but its a Skewed sample size pretty much. Don't think anyones posting SS or their 51 Bayld Sparkles on first mob.

Also, On a related rant, what the fuck is up with the Logging/Helm/Etc rewards from these zones? sh*ts level 101+ Mobs and i'm getting Arrowwood Logs and Moko Grass? If i wanted that I'd slaughter Bunnies in East Ronfaure for Treasure Caskets. sh*ts ridiculous. IDK WTF they were thinking, they may as well just add Potion and Ether to the list, toss in some Antidotes too, Need as much 10 gil items as we can shovel into it.
