Salvage: Arrapago Remnants

[divisortheory]

I don't think they can be glitched. His movement pattern involves moving to the teleporter and standing there for a while before he actually warps. I think this is what people were referring to, although it seems like normal behavior in my experience.

[aurik]

Perhaps it is that, although he seemed to stand there idle for a long long long time.

In any case, we've never ever had a problem killing him. Last time he even sleepga'd us and we still got him dead.

Wottles has lvl15 and 25, so yay for our group getting asuras second salvage peice.

[Not Kuno]

How do you know no JPs have any pieces? Btw grats on mask. I think the Morrigan one is the same drop rate, right? What's your rate on that mob?

I wish I knew if any JP on Bahamut had salvage stuff but I havn't seen any. <.<

[aurik]

The Goobbues on floor5 drop pannus btw.

Haven't seen any, haven't even heard of any JP groups that are doing salvage atm.

o.o

Bahamut is so strange. We have a TON of jps going to salvage. During JP time theres 3-5 groups in all the salvages combined.

[aurik]

Yea Bahamut also has a suck-tastic NA community outside of a few HNM shells, from what I can tell, whereas Asura's the opposite: except for a few select shells, the JP community here is way behind the times.

Edit: this is our 4th kill of bigbhoot.

As far as I can tell my Salvage group on Midgardsormr is the only group that does Salvage at all (or at least regularly enough to have any real experience/rewards from it).

The Big Bhoot has a thing about messing us up when he's at like 5%, first time being our NIN ran out of shihei and 2nd time only using stuff that you pretty much need to stun and us having 1 stunner. For some reason Gravity works pretty well on him, landed and lasted rather long everytime it was cast.

We only have 1 stunner <_< Just keep haste on them.

Had Haste and March, just that when it does Peredition > Blizzaga III in like 10 seconds we're kinda helpless

decided we'll just bring another BLM, we haven't had any trouble with getting magic cells

[Lindstrom]

We did, but I can't remember the details of the fight aside from him getting killed at one point. I dunno, but either way we'll probably bring an extra stun to make it easier, it was using Blizzaga III and Grave Reel or Peredition mostly, which with 1 stunner something's gonna go through.

Heard people say it's Ectosmash does a lot (like 1k) but it used it on me at one point and only did 300ish.

[aurik]

Yea I got perditioned today, we had our other monk meat-tank (he didn't have SJ). He did ok, until he got flattened by ecto for 1k. He had counterstance up though.

QQA2, QQTH4, Chariot5 , QQA5 just now. No drops on anything. Going back in an hour.

On a side note, I am starting to see interesting drop patterns regarding which floor you kill mobs on. I'll post later after we do our next run, since it will give me more data. I still need about 3 weeks worth of runs more to be able to have a big enough sample size, but for now I think there's probably drop rate differences based on floor (and I know there is on at least one mob).

Tell us from now while my memory is still decent from last run

Well the most blatant difference is Archaic Gear (single). On 6F they almost always double drop Duplicatus Cells, on 4 and 5F I've never gotten a double drop out of 25 kills. That alone tells me that one or more mobs in the zone have different drop rates between floor. As for other floors, HP seems higher from skeleton on 3F than 1F, as do abilities from the Kabukidancers

[aurik]

Yea, drop rate per mob is definitely better on higher floors.

Well qutrub actually seem lower on 2F than 1F lol. But that's why i want to get more samples. So far I'm 100% on ability cells from 3F Merrow Kabukidancers. If that continues to hold true, it could be really useful.

Meh, with the rate at which we demolish qutrub, it's no big thing to smash like 15 qutrub per run. we usually clear 2-3 rooms of Qutrub from the SW wing on the first floor, then exit SW, then clear the entire room. we still manage to get to the chariot with about 20-30 minutes left each time. I think the time wasted farming them is more than made up for by the increased kill speed. We usually go THF -> THF -> MNK -> BLM on weapon cells, we rarely get more than 4 so I jsut stop the list there. But sometimes we only have one THF, so then we go THF -> MNK -> BLM -> MNK
