    Hopefully they decreased the odds of random junk items too

    They hopefully made it so you only get gil if you get a r/e you already own

    Is there some trick to dealing with Intuila's curaga spam? Or just try to out dps it?

    Also to add my 2 cents. 8 runs with 3 characters 0 crystals

    It only heals about 6k, IIRC. Just kill it faster than it heals.

    Ok done another 20 or so w/o getting crystals and the only time ive got them is on Muut when i did it couple days after patch im really starting to wonder what drop rate is. This brings me to something like 60ish w/o seeing them.

    Bad luck?
    17 abyssdivers (over 3 chars), 15 crystals, 42 feathers (two days ago)
    17 intuilas, 7 crystals, 60 hides (from previous post in thread)


    btw, since you've fought Muut: does it do charm? Or just Final Retri/silence seal/Memento Mori?

    Or maybe you are hogging all good luck? So far only done 8 intuilas with 3 characters but 0 crystals.

    Either way I'm fairly certain they designed the droprate so that if you are going just for crystals you are better off converting

    Yeah the drop rate in my experience is quite bad, but you can get up to three at once when you do see them. I think a higher drop rate would have made sense to encourage people to actually do unity. Right now it doesn't seem worth it unless you need a specific r/ex item, and only a couple of them are any good.

    One thing that gets me is that they, as RoE, give rather nice amounts of exp, sparks, and capacity points... except... except..
    As near as I can see, the people that have capped unity points and can take advantage of this are people that bot to get the unity points... and in the process of collecting them are also likely to have all the exp, sparks, and capacity points that they need.
    It is one of those sideways thinking where the good idea sort of cancels it out - if the only way of getting unity points was doing the unity RoE quests, then I could see the exp/spark/cp points as a 'reward' for the questing that goes into it. As it is currently done, however, it is only giving exp/sparks/cap to people that already have no trouble capping exp/sparks/cap; while players that do the quest/roe route don't get unity points fast enough to really benefit from it.
    Thoughts?

    Must be the secret. If you are going for crystals you get them if not you don't.... maybe if you have the gear already it rerolls into crystal?

    You can always use more sparks/cap and in theory xp for spamming of more high tier stuff. Really I see it as it being meant as just a little something extra. You did all those cp/balyd/spark whatever farming? Here have some cap on top of it that you can trade in to fight stuff for fast xp/sparks/cap and possibly some drops you might like. I don't think the intention ever was to farm for accolades for their own sake. This is likely why the gear is highly sidegrady. It's not meant to be an event you go out for it's just a little something extra to do as a small reward for doing other stuff

    No idea? I didnt track loot obtained in chronological order. I can tell u those were my first times fighting abyssdiver, whereas ive fought inutila before, and my crystal drop rate was higher on abyss.

    Here's some information about new unity wanted NM:

    ternion dagger from scorpion NM (p.s. bring your antidotes for this fight)
    Gae Derg from Coca (wyvern) NM

    Perun from Ayapec crab

    worm NM uses Stonega V and Quake II
    ghastly tathlum
    Kladenets

    Azrael (hecteyes NM)
    Aizkora
    Alhazen Hat +1 (Acc+45, Ranged Acc+45, Evasion +45, Magic Eva+45 ALL JOBS)

    Deliverance +1 (shadow NM. must kill all 4 that pop)

    Voso

    Agony Jerkin
    Refined Grip (Damage Taken-2%)


    Some people like Agony Jerkin because it has DEX+35 which makes it a good Rudra's piece. I dunno if it's good to full-time on Thief though compared to some other choices. If you look closely though, the +1 for Agony Jerkin is a terrible investment. It only adds DEF+1, Attack+1, and Lizard Killer+1.
