What exactely is the issue with Violent Flourish? o.O

additional effect of stun isnt procing

[Sechs]

Huh? But since when? Last patch? Because before that it was totally working.
Is this something happening only /DNC or DNC main too? Haven't played DNC in a few weeks and totally didn't know this...

I've done a few Arrapago runs since the update. Violent flourish still works, it just seems to be less accurate now, or khim was made more evasive.

If I don't have any steps up, I get resisted a lot, but with 5 steps on it my stuns have been hitting decently.

I'm impressed. idk about other servers but there has been at least 3 emergency maintenances a day to that zone since the update and quite a few before that.

there was a JP post about arrapago remnants, google-translator said somethign like that arrapago remnants layers are overloded because people only farm arrapago for alex and the server cant seem to handle the amount of people or so, so they need to do emergency maintances alot there. Something along the lines "go-fucking-farm-other-zones" answer.

[dasva]

Should actually make the other zones better for farming alex then since that is the main reason to do any salvage

[NynJa]

Zhaolm is almost impossible to solo (no ilvl gear till 5f)
Bhaf on par w Arra, lower potential yield tho. Cerb >>> khim in difficulty too
Some people say theyve solo SS, but it was RUNs. I believe the yield is still lower, and still a higher difficulty scale.

[Prothescar]

yay i'll finally be able to use trusts



can solo SSR on BLU as well, but it isn't worth it at all. AR is faster and more lucrative. since this is SE, I fully expect them to nerf the gear floor of AR2 so people do the other ones rather than buffing the other 3.


also lol @ the thing about buffalo horns. precious items? so they wouldn't let us have buffalo horns, but oversaturating the market in things like elemental beads, rare ingots, HNM materials, etc. was ok?

[Fwahm]

I've solo'd all of the Salvage v2 zones except Bhaflau (Cerb PDT too strong with no real magic damage) on DRK, and solo'd all four on RDM. They're harder than Arrapago, but they're not that hard. The lower alex rate is the more pressing problem.

[NynJa]

You just said it yourself
Theyre harder and offer less alex

So whats the point?

[Byrthnoth]

I thought SSR2 was actually the best in terms of Alex/minute, because you can skip like 90% of the zone and go pop the boss.

[Darkmagi]

It was my zone of choice on PLD, so mindless and quick for a linen.

[Lyramion]

I've just been doing Bafs on SCH/THF lately. Floor 1 2 and 4 are pretty nice, just helix things and drag them behind you to the next mob/NM if possible to save time. SCH can solo HQ boss by doing Embrava > Kaustra > Helix and go afk hitting it with Staff in about 3 minutes.

Not correct. Think of it this way: you can only enter once per day. Even if it's 10-20 minutes faster, it's not like you can run it as many times as you want. Therefor, the one that gives the most is always the best.

blu/thf or /war is also excellent any job with access to requiescat can easy do bhaflau

Except some people like doing a fast zone because they don't have all the time in the world.

[Ophannus]

Bhaflau gives a lot if you kill all the NMs and extra gears. Pain in the was for little reward though.

[Kincard]

Yeah, lol. I've made one mythic and I know I'm never going to spend that amount of time for a shiny in a video game anymore, even though I could. Even if I had all the free time in the world I'd rather play other games with that time or something heh.

Also, couple new dev posts, gonna translate them now.

Unless you have a bunch of mules and can go 7-8 times in a row, alex/minute is not a fair assessment.
