Alzadaal Remnants Mini-Compiliation

[Sagacious Sundi]

An important question: On FFXIclopedia, when people add Lv15 armor pieces that drop from normal monsters, they usually just put "mobs" in or someone changes it to that. However, is it all mobs? All mobs of a certain type? Mobs on a certain floor? All mobs of that theme? Archaic Machinery? Do rampart reinforcements drop them? Monsters of a certain type on a certain wing in a certain map with certain spawn conditions? It really should be specific on what "Mobs" mean.

I've yet to see any non-NM reinforcement mob drop any armor pieces, some do drop cells though. In Bhaflau, I've seen just about every monster drop lvl15 armor. But I've never seen lvl15 armor drop from regular mobs on the first floors of Zhayolm or Arrapago though.

[aurik]

All mobs in Bhaflau have a chance to drop lv15 armor.
SilverSea, lv 15 armor is 100% drop off of a particular NM.
Arrapago, lv 15 armor drops off of Archaic Gear and possibly Archaic Gears / Rampart / Chariot.
Zhayolm, I'm not sure anyone has found any lv15 armor at all??

Thank you very much!! Also, don't some Madames drop lv15 armor?

Yes, actually that's correct: Poroggo Madame drops some level 15 armor. Possibly the zone has the same configuration as silversea--nms drop both the lv15 and lv35 armors.

Sounds plausible, considering they share cards and their undersea sections mirror each other (I think). SE likes to make things share/mirror more than one thing, possibly to make some sort of "connection", or out of sheer laziness/unoriginality.

Also, would, say, all mobs in Bhaflau mean all monsters would drop, say Marduk hands, or just, say again, wamouracampa?

[aurik]

All "normal" monsters drop all armor in bhaflau. Mechas apparently do as well(?) I believe I heard a report of a gear dropping stuff in Bhaflau.

In Arrapago, no lv15 armor drops have been reported except off Archaic Gear.

[Archeons]

Yes they do Aurik, we got Anu's Tiara from one of the gears at Lv.4 and Enryo's Legging from Archaic Chariot.

For Silversea, is it that the NMs drop the level 15 armor 100% of the time, but can also drop a level 35 armor?

yes.

by armor do you mean any piece, or specifically the body?

[aurik]

[Sagacious Sundi]

Err, the Lv15 body armor NMs (Slot NMs) are separate from the other NMs in Silver Sea. Slot NMs are just Slot NMs.

Fixed.

[Wulfgang]

I believe I heard a report of a gear dropping stuff in Bhaflau.

May have been mine. Dropped back to back Njord's Trousers and an Anu piece (forgotten which) on another run. 1 Njord's trousers was off a Triple Gear.

Enyo's Leggings off a second floor troll twice.

Hoshikazu Tekko off a second floor troll twice.

Been tossing around ideas with a few people, and it was suggested to me that possibly the zones and/or bosses scale in difficulty based on how many people are in your alliance. Sort of like Uninvited Guests. If this is the case, it could possibly explain why LBC seems much harder to some groups than it does to other. Next time you fight LBC, take note of how many people/parties were in your alliance, and whether he seemed unusually high level, or just normal.

Secondly, someone mentioned that it might be cool if final product Salvage equipment could be worn without penalty when you first enter the zone. That would definitely change the dynamis of Salvage for the better, although it seems like wishful thinking

the word armor does not specify "body" in context, all 5 slots are an armor slot.

Would only really be cool if it unlocked weapons/magic/sj/abilities/attributte with it..

[divisortheory]

Well, considering how much faster you'd be able to kill, I still think it would change the dynamic quite a bit.

[divisortheory]

I just notice a pattern, in particular that Lv. 15 (35?) body pieces only drop from Slot NMs. Is this true across the board?

[safer]

yes lvl 15 body pieces can only drop from NMs popped with cards

silver seas slot NM can drop 2 body pieces, morrigans and ares
other 3 zones drop 1 lvl 15 body piece

level 35 body pieces drop off other things
example ares body off QQ treasure hunter in arrapago
