[Jaybar]

Well I finally saw Toxotes Bracers drop (second all time) - get to save some philo tomes! Holla

SMN only WP runs are actually pretty awesome.

How does that work? I'm tired of healing them as SCH so maybe I can switch it up.

On Hyperion you stand in Toll shouting for 60 straight minutes "NEED 1 SMN FOR WP SMN ONLY SR @3/4"

Basically everyone summons Titan and slaughters everything on the way. No big pulls, one group after the other, straight forward. It worked surprisingly well.

Dunno how long it takes in Excal. The first I did was 3/4.

[Lokus]

There's a SMN WP run LS on Excal that makes forming these pretty easy. You basically kill everything with Titan. They aren't speedruns but they are fairly quick at least.

[Raineer]

My point was they spend much longer shouting for the group than just doing it. I get that you want to do smn-only because it's interesting. I'm not all that big on SR, but by the time you've shouted for 30 mins you're just better off grabbing whatever you can as a fourth.

That many dots = melting mobs anyway.

We have some fucking happy tanks this week (and I got sloppy seconds; body).

Tank drops dont exist in our runs o.o grats.

I'm quite content with the difficulty of the current content. Building a static group from scratch and going from taking a total of 4 weeks until our first turn 4 clear to doing turn 1 to 4 in a single hour with only one wipe feels good. Now, we're finally starting to attempt turn 5 - as far as I can tell, this will be fun. It isn't even directly game-related, but I'm quite grateful for having another opportunity to tackle difficult content with people whom I spent a large part of my adolescence with in FFXI.

See, that's awesome. I wish I had something like that, but unfortunately I wasn't in the "first 8" of the group I would run with so I'm an odd one out. I think a lot of people are in this boat.

I still like the idea that people should be able to re-run coil, but then drop rates are reduced by that percentage (7/8 for 1 re-runner, 50% for 4, etc).

Was there a ninja fix to the way crafted items show signatures? Until today I rarely saw the signature even though the slot was reserved for it, and now I can go through all crafted items on the AH and see who crafted them via the signature.

It's possible. I remember reading a rep post on the of saying it was a glitch before.

[Taruranto]

It's kinda random for me, sometimes it's here, sometimes it isn't.

What is weird is, they already have mechanics for this. In the crystal tower preview they say that you can run it as many times as you want, but you can only get one piece of gear then you're locked out of just looting.

If coil was like this, it would be fine. It would still take months to get all your pieces but at least you could get SOMETHING instead of NOTHING.

Does anyone know what the loot lockout time is btw?
Is it a week, or less?

Which brings me to: They specifically said "if you roll on an item and receive it you'll get the lockout"
Does that mean that if a DRG piece drops with no DRG in the group and you greed it, you'll get loot locked?

If so, this belongs in complaint.

[Enygma55]

It will most likely be once a day lockout, other possibility is 4hr, 8hr or 12hr. Its once u claim a piece, so its ur decision to lot on a gear piece that isnt ur main, granted u gotta run CT again for ur drop if it didnt drop the first time.

[dejet]

Its SE's way of keeping people in DF from just greeding everything. If you need said item you can lot it, and then pass on everything else. I am ok with that in a DF party.

What I am more pissed, if you have a 8 man group its bullshit. If we have a tank that is starting coil and want to gear him to the teeth we can not use ilvl80 gear as his neck steeping stone. They really need to fix rules for groups of people who play with each other and not just have "random groups" in mind.

[Tyrath]

Whats wrong with greeding everything? Isn't that the whole point of the system? If you need it you need it, otherwise it should be up for grabs for everyone.
