Salvage: Silver Sea Remnants

[Almalexia]

Does anyone know if there are respawning crates in the rooms on the 4th floor west, or are they exclusive to the east?

Pretty sure they're only in the East. At least I've never noticed them running through the West to the Boss.

[Map]

Wondering about paths on this one, aiming for the viable and decent level 35 pieces. First floor west for Usu Head doesn't prohibit other nms, but is a time sink on the first floor in small groups. Going for SE Morrigan Legs means no shot at lackluster skadi hands or marduk feet, and it's also a hassle clearing out 16 fomor and possibly 4 imps. Zone up from SE and clear the east room Gyroscopic Gears for Ares Legs, but once again having to clear a lot of things in the process.

Basically, is 1st floor west, 2nd floor SE and third floor east even a tangible route? You'd end up killing 39 fomor, and 4 of both types of gear, which seems a little daunting. At least across those 39 fomor you're getting over 120 random cells~

I think there's 2 viable 35-farming routes to this one:

1f W, 2f nw, 3f N, 3f E, hitting 4 nms -- 6-8 ppl

Or

1f E, 2f se, 3f E, 4F E, hitting 4 nms -- 8-12 ppl

Going west on the first floor is a huge timesink, and you don't see nearly as many cells. The second route has a lot more early cells but killing 16 fomor in the SE is time consuming especially if you don't have a lot of people as the cells will be wasted. Best to bring a few more people so that cells don't go to waste.

Do you really think it's possible to kill all 3 NMs on that second path? I've never taken a large group to Silver Seas, but 2 NMs always seemed to be our limit. Like Gyroscopic Gears and Citadel Chelonian would take up most of our time. And we wouldn't have time for Powderkeg Yanadahn. I can't remember the 4th NM on that path you listed. The first path seems a bit rough on time too, then again we tend to have a number of deaths against Gyroscopic Gears thanks to Rail Cannon and it resisting stun.

[aurik]

In previous runs with 10~ (I think) we've done:
-Dekka
-Gyro 1gear
-Gyro 3gear
-Don Porroggo
and then timed out mid-fight with Citadel. We also wiped once which could have been avoided and would have given us plenty of time for Citadel.

And sorry, 2nd path is 3 nms only.

Going west on the first floor is a huge timesink, and you don't see nearly as many cells.

East path - 8 Fomor with 5 cells each + 9 fomor with 3 cells each = 67 cells
West path - 6 fomor with 4 cells each + 17 fomor with 2 cells each = 58 cells

The 9 cell discrepency isn't so bad, considering you get a gaurenteed 16 chests with all kinds of goodies in them. I found the SE room on the next floor to be more of a time sink really. Perhaps if clearing all 4 rooms isn't required to advance, you can cut and run for the 6-fomor room without having to clear every single fomor. All the good stuff drops in that middle room anyways.

I don't know if someone has said this some where before, but

is Neman's Robe and Enyo's breatplate 50/50 or both 100? Or you just have a chance at getting something or nothing.

[Not Kuno]

learn2read




Both 100%.

[docvicious]

Are there Marked maps for this anywhere =/ I havnt been able to find any.

[Not Kuno]

Drops are mostly random. Theres only a few mobs with set drops in the zone, and you can read them on the wiki.

[Chalis]

0/15 on Usukane lvl 35 body piece off the Aspi NM on the 4th floor. i know some ppl have said befour that they killed it a few times but no luck on the drop. but no one has said anything for awhile just wondering if anyone has had any luck yet.

[Shadida]

Three Silver Sea runs.
Three NMs each time.
Zero 35 drops.

orzzzzzzz

Guessing you haven't done Arrapago?

[Shadida]

Have done Arrapago. At least Archaic Chariot drops stuff - we even got two at once off him once.

Deviate Bhoot NM keeps offing Almalexia with Perdition every time lol - I always have to make a break for the portal. :wink:

[Lindstrom]

Yeah, if they gotta change anything in Salvage, it's the drop rate on 35's, and probably the Zhayolm Madames it's figured out that making them spawn is something far more simple (somehow) than everyone is thinking. Also probably Arrapago boss dropping 1 armor is pretty lame.

Curious how you find time to do everything AND Chelonian- even when pulling 2 ramparts per sac (and the roaming gears if necessary) it ends up taking at least 20~25mins to get Citadel to pop and kite him back to any safe camp..

Or are people giving up 3 Opacus to BLM & /BLM to sleep and kill the gears off? (Lullaby seems far to unreliable.)

Even then, you still have to sac the room twice or leave kiters for the doors (that lose aggro easily.)

Oh, and no Hikazu Hara-Ate for us either.. has there even been a confirmed pic of this dropping off the tortoise?

[Almalexia]

We've never done CC. Currently whoring out Hammer>Gear>Gears route because Beibei is 2/3 on Ares' legs and I'm 2/3 on Usukane head. And something about Shad wanting some gloves or some such.

I don't believe there has been any screenshot evidence of Hikazu Hara-ate. We just used process of elimination from other NM drops to reduce the possibilities, assuming all NMs drop a rare Lv.35.

[docvicious]

=/ so no one has any maps of the zone, that have info on them on mob placement etc?

Did someone get Deimos's Cuisses off of Gyroscopic Gears? I thought that one was still unconfirmed.
