That was the entire point of me saying that vice/deed work like D.Ring/Pixie earring.

Wasn't in response to you

1 Merciful Cape and 2 Defending Rings agree. =l

6 Defending Rings but only 3 Merciful Cape's I agree as well =/

My shell only recently started doing sea, but I've been keeping track of our drop rates and how we've
been killing. Its a small pool to look at, but maybe can figure into yours to help get an accurate % down.

Also, has anyone ever gotten the Ix'DRK cape drop without killing the 2 RNG Qn'aerns? In about 20 kills, we've never killed the RNGs (usually just zone everything and pick off the DRK as it goes back to spawn to isolate). Wondering if that's why we never get the cape.

My LS got 2 capes from our first 4 kills of Ix'Drk (The second cape I was outlotted by ONE!!!!!!) and we have never killed the Qn's. Usually we have someone Diaga or something when they pop to get actual hate on the Qns and then die while the tank pulls DRK to the ebon-esque room and kites. The Qns will kill everyone in the PT if someone doesn't do something to them, but anything more than initial aggro-hate will overwrite it and it becomes a sac pull.

We killed MNK a few times, but haven't seen a cape or deed yet. I disagree with the "Less organs = more Capes" Theory,.I think the cape has a constant drop rate and the only the rate of the Deed dropping goes up with Organs.

Went 0/4 on the cape tonight even with TH3, bringing us to a grand fucking total of 0/35. Wooo.

1 organ? kill order?

[Artica]

My shell usually pops ix'mnk with 2 organs. We haven't really kept track of the drops but we seem to get a vice about 25% of the time compared to the deed drop rate.

We've even had 2 vices drop on back to back kills, which is where I got mine.

ix'drk on the other hand we've killed probably close to 40 or 50 times and we've only had 2 vices drop I think, and one of them was on a character that got deleted ><

[spooky]

my LS hasnt started doing DRK yet, only been dipping our toes in Sea in the last week to two. I really hope the fix this shit soon. I can understand them making things rare (keep you playing = more money) but when things are just retarded you will just lolquit faster...

maybe sea was desinged to make end-games quit >.>

[MisterBob]

I dunno, we haven't had any difficulty at all with getting capes to drop. There was a time when we were getting pissed at Ix'DRK for giving us capes instead of Deeds. The only one that doesn't drop pretty often for us is Ix'DRG, which is good, because Astute Cape is relatively worthless.

over the weekend we did 5 single organ pops because we were short on people. 2 deeds 0 capes 2 pops w/o th and 3 w/ th2 and th4 in each party. the first 2 pop no drop and 2/3 on deed on the last 3 I dont know what this says about the drop rate but now we prolly wont be heading back to IX mnk for a while ; ; cape where?

Stop doing single organ pops and you might get some decent drops.
