Did he keep RRing til it dropped?

[MisterBob]

yes. Every time we've killed Ix'DRK he's RR'd until drop. Our current record is 9 RRs, I've heard stories of even more though

[Lockecole]

My LS has never killed Qn's and is 100% on Deed drop, but 0% on Vice drop, if that helps with anyone's questions.

Always hold both Qns, (ummm like thats even hard, any /NIN can hold them without taking a single point of damage) and just kill Ix till he drops and the Qns will then despawn along with him. 100% Deed drop as many times as I have done it. (Think we're like 10/10.)

[MisterBob]

We always fight with the same method: Kill 1 Qn, hold the other while killing Ix.

3 kills = deed
1 kill = cape.

Not sure if killing Qns really effects anything or not yet

Well the fact that we never kill Qn's and never get Vices, but always get Deeds, shows that the two are related. Somehow the two are related, and I think if you kill any of the Qn's off, you give yourself a chance to get a Vice, but lose your 100% pop item chance. Now if killing just 1 Qn, or both make a difference, and what that difference is...I don't know.

Another interesting piece of info:

We've killed Ix'MNK a ton of times (Always do triple organ, anything else is a waste).

Originally, we would kill 1 Qn and never the other. Always got a deed.
Recently we've been doing both Qns, and finally actually got a vice.
With both Qns dead we went 1/3 on vice, other 2 kills dropped deed.

In total, we've yet to see any Ix not drop something, btw. (Except for Ix'MNK with 1 organ)

We also hold both Qn's on Ix'MNk and have yet to see him reraise at all. Hold both Qn's and kill Ix'Mnk once and so far its 100% Deed.

P.S. We NEVER kill adds on any of the 3 Ix's and we've yet to get a Vice, and this is from 30+ combined kills (all 30+ dropping Deeds). So I think we can assume there's a way to guarantee Deeds, and thats by holding all adds (WHM/RDM, RNGs, Wyverns) and continually killing Ix's.

Killed Ix'MNK last week, held the Qns and got vice.

Honestly wish there was a pattern ; ;

[Tiblet]

We didn't kill the Qn's and got the vice to drop. 1/2 on vice, havent screwed with the Qn's at all yet, we've only killed him 2 times both with 6-8 people tops.

Fuck. Well I'm almost positive about the Ix'DRK, since we've done him many more times then Ix'MNK. Ugggh...just when you think you know this game.

[Deimos]

It was our LS's impression that Ix'DRK would reraise until he dropped something. We only did him twice before we pretty much quit doing sea, but the second time he reraised 21 times before he finally dropped an item and didn't get up.

Edit: oh yeah, we always just held the Qns, never killed them.

[Julian]

QN's don't have anything to do with drops or reraises.

My LS at first always killed Ix' while having two people kite the QNs, idk why tbh, but that's how we did it. It never reraised. We got 1 vice + 1 no drop iirc.

Recently we were fighting him again, and he reraised once while the Qns were alive. We killed the Qns, and then the Ix reraised two more times after. Dropped deed.

[Isildur]

i'll agree with the speculation that Qns have nothing to do with drop rate of deed/vice, in my case we've always gotten either deed or vice from Ix'DRK or Ix'DRG after it reraised a few times...but Ix'MNK is another story, i've done that shit like 7 times now without either dropping because overzealous ppl are like "OMFG WE GOT HQ ORGAN LETS GO SPAWN IT WITH 1!" then waste 1-2 organs on popping it and getting jack shit.

we've never held Qns or Wynavs from DRK, DRG or MNK but deed/vice has always dropped...1st DRK kill we got vice, the next 3 we got deed...the 2-3 DRG kills we've gotten deed...and MNK we've only gotten deed twice, once from a 1 organ pop (lucky as shit), next were a series of bullshit pops with someone saying they're not patient enough to wait for 3 organs then figuring out it doesnt help to jump the gun.


my guess is that all 3 drop one or the other now every single time (Ix'MNK being a special case cause he needs 2 Qns to drop 100%), we never popped DRK or DRG before the "Behavoir of certain monsters in lumoria" update, but i believe SE did change the deed/vice to 100% drop of either.

[Ichthyos]

I agree 100% with Isildur's observations above.

My LS:
11 Ix'DRKs: 10 deeds, 1 vice.
13 Ix'DRGs: 12 deeds, 1 vice.
15 3-organ Ix'MNKs: 11 deeds, 3 vices, one no drop... but a number of the kills were "prepatch".
4 2-organ Ix'MNKs: 2 deeds, 2 no drops.
6 1-organ Ix'MNKs: 2 deeds, 1 vice, 3 no drops.

A number of the DRK and DRG kills were prepatch as well, but maybe we were just lucky.

[Pyrena]

We've always killed Qns first. We've gotten both deed and vice drops doing this on MNK & DRK.

Agreed, as locke said above we are like 35/35 on deed between all the ix's (this is lifetime, even before patch) and 0/35 on any vices from sea AT ALL

fuck u sea
