Salvage: Arrapago Remnants

[Kaeko]

? no , we kill both QQA fine with 0 hundred fists. Both astrologers, neither of them warp, that's with a pt of 6, mnk mnk thf rdm whm brd.

We've managed to kill the QQA once, due to me popping Hundred Fists. However, that was only because I spent a good half of the fight bound and popped Hundred Fists in a panic to make sure it wouldn't warp away.

The second time it warped at about 20ish percent. Once again, I spent a good portion of the fight bound, which sucked. I'm pretty sure the thing's beatable without it otherwise.

Though Wafik -- didn't you guys glitch it in one run or two where it just basically sat there and did nothing?

We glitch the lvl2 QQA everytime ;p

Please share!

Half the time we lose on this because we need hundred fists but don't have the ability cells

Put the THF in the main party. What a freakin huge difference. Killed the 4th and 5th floor Qiqirns and the Chariot.

yay congrats, the chariot is quite decent on drop rates with good TH in it. We are 2/4, other groups are 2/3 1/3 etc, it's not bad at all.

Really wondering how you glitch that Astrologer, if you could share (even if in PM) that would greatly own since my group designated me as the guy who has to figure out how to glitch them.

We made a discovery of our own that I haven't seen posted here, I spose I can tell you that in exchange >.>

Edit: If anyone cares, we had TH3 on the Chariot, we killed the Rampart before it and got hands cell, only killed that and the Astrologer with TH3.

We've glitched him too. Makes him a lot easier. He just sits at the warp portal and doesn't warp, doesn't attack, and doesn't cast spells. Makes him easier then killing a kitten.

If I remember right (was some time ago), you just stun him when he first sets foot on the portal <.<;

[divisortheory]

How about everyone just tell all their discoveries, lol. They usually ban people around here anyway for saying "hay guess what I know a cool secret but I'm not gonna tell anyone"

[Ashira]

I'm in the same group as Kaeko. Arrapago has been depressing for us, in that we did that first real NM focus run and got the Macht's robe for Kae's Morrigan and have gotten absolute poo (interject Senrez and Payu saying "Anus Gaiters" here) from anything since then.

You've gotten a morrigan and want to say your arrapago are depressing? I want to drive my nails into your eyes -_-

Try not seeing anything untill the 10th run.

Well, you know what I mean though; we got that so had high hopes for the runs in general. Since then we've gotten zilch, and when people don't shutup about wanting to run it until they get their third piece for an upgrade (when some people in the group don't have anything because we never run anything else), it's just a big letdown. :/


EDIT: Had another run last night with no THF and Kae on his brother's RDM; cell drops sucked beyond sucky (thought they started off decent) and everything was kind of a mess. Killed the QQA though, minus glitch, but had no shadows and the QQTH owned us. Gears hit hard too.

i never said anything of the sort.

I know, I was referring to the comment a previous poster made about privately using PMs to exchange secrets or tricks they found that make the zone easier. If anyone has information about the zone, instead of talking about when/where/how to share it, just share it.

I'm confident that there are no mysteries left in arrapago, well except for the whole QQ on lvl6 in the dats but none there in practice. (then again I have not checked the dats, is it really there and people are sure it's not a duplicate of the N or S other floor ones?)

They were talking about Gliching the Qiqirn on the porter so all the do is just stand there and take a Beating, kind like the Old AV wall Trick... so its not like a "mystery left to solve" but rather a bug left to exploit...

Well i really havent seen too many people post on the Boss. I know there are references to the Jps beating him and posting screenshots of their drops on their sites but not here.

Is there any group that goes for and kills the boss? If so what setup do you guys go with and which way do you travel? Do you have time to farm the 35 bodies?, or do you rush up the floors? I have seen people post that they get the boss to 30% in 5 mins (Kicked out) but what is a reasonable time that you would need to kill?

[divisortheory]

About 5-6 pages back someone posted a SS of killing the boss.

I honestly don't think you have time to go for NMs, even the Astrologer that's standing right there and only takes a few minutes. My thoughts for a boss run would be that you need to be prepared for both a 35 drops run and a boss run, and if you get fucked on cells on 1F and 2F, do 35s instead of boss. If you are doing good on cells, skip the astrologer and every other NM and go straight for the boss.

With above average cell drops, I got to the top floor with about 10 minutes left. Timed out after killing both ramparts and a few gears. You need to reach the top floor with a minimum of 25 minutes I think to have a chance at the boss. My guess would be something like this:

First Floor: 25 minutes (magic/abil/ranged/weapon/HP/MP)
Second Floor: 35 minutes (weapon/magic/abil/SJ[steal])
Third Floor: 50 minutes (HP/MP/abil/magic/body[steal])
Fourth Floor: 60 minutes (subjob only/body[steal])
Fifth Floor: 70 minutes (subjob only)
Sixth Floor: clear as fast as possible, you can get all your stat cells here, and a little more equipment

Oh well that's happened to us, but it's not like we did anything to make him do it.

Stuff about "glitching" the QQA

Come to think of it, that's happened to us too. We thought we were fucked when the QQA made his way to the teleporter but he just stood there and got ass raped... :wink:

Stuff on the 6th floor drops tons of SJ and body armor, and you have to kill it to open the door anyway. My recommendation is to just skip floors 4 and 5 entirely.

[divisortheory]

If you skip 4 and 5, you could probably get to the 6th floor with 40 minutes left, which would give you a ton of time for the actual boss. I think having lots of SJ is key though, because supposedly his AoE is absorbable.

As I said, SJ/body on floor6 is not really a problem.
