Sea drop rates after update?

[Seditedi]

Yea, I used full out ele skill + etudes. Used to get owned on him on most spells before I got AF2 hat and Merciful Cape.

Is there no thread safe from a BLM derail? Someone call me when SE makes an earring with some sort of D2 boost.

Could be worse. Could be the like the 3rd damn thread about those weapons that came in last part which probably aren't even in the game yet.

[Grandcross]

So, about those weapons...

[Sagacious Sundi]

So, about those weapons...

I heard they give you abilities and stuff your main job doesn't naturally get!
I heard they give you weapon skills your main job doesn't naturally get!
I heard they are multihit weapons!
I heard they are obtained in Nyzul Isle!
I heard they are in homage to older FF weapons!
I heard they are not yet available!
I heard they're just novelty items!

[Bagel]

I heard Inferno Claws warp you to your moghouse to change to real job.

[Toth]

That was unneccesarily harsh, Bagel >.>

[Bagel]

I'm 41 (and slowly rising) pup, if it makes you feel any better.

[Toth]

:D You're becoming one of us!


PEP ftw!

[Avinor]

Tell them what you named your puppet now.

[Seditedi]

Really nice to see they finally made the Virtues 100% though, should've been all along lol.

[Ashira]

And yet I wear 350 elemental magic skill and still have resists on Jorm and Kirin Oh, those hidden joys of the game!


edit: by wyrms, I am talking about Jorm specifically.

>.>

We don't really kill Jorm.. not that we haven't, just... maybe if we're bored someday again... >.>

I don't think I can ever hit 350 because I only put 5 merits into Elemental; seems right, I think I'd worked it out that I can hit like 345 or 6 or so.

But I also do try to put INT in every slot available; I am going for Yigit Feet now but debate whether I should because I'll lose an INT over my River Gaiters. Seems so silly, doesn't it? Heh.

Sorry, um... /blmderailoff

Yeah, the Virtue drop rates, definitely good change. Does make you wonder at times though, why they did it non-guaranteed in the first place. :/

SE knows what player wants.

And massive cockblock on good stuff is what player everywhere desire.

We did love yesterday and got full drops. Never seen a full drop before, it could also be that they adjusted novio/novia. Since those are some of the highly sought after items, maybe they just adjusted the ones "at the end" so to speak.

I doubt it, we got full drops last time we did love. Making the pop items 100% is one thing but making the drops 100 is a bit different. Then again TK is 100% now so you never know. Were doing love again tomorrow so ill let you know the results.

Just did JoL both earrings no torque

Nope we were kind of hoping for it to see if SE ninja'd his difficulty but no pop.

[Aramaic]

But if he ahd we so wouldaowned him to 96% at least.

[Everlasting]

Has anyone been tracking AV pops?

Maybe he only pops if JOL is killed on a certain day or moon phase?

[Elipse]

He's saying that at that point it's diminishing returns and doesn't do nearly the output one would hope for, not anything that makes or breaks you versus another BLM.

When I get a Novio, it'll probably just replace my Moldavite. Because of how I've distributed my merits, I prefer to keep some other Elemental skill on to keep me on par with those who've maxed out to 8. I never noticed huge issues when I wore my Phantom there before, and I could probably switch back for more damage bonus with INT, but until I can start carrying around 100 things in my bag, I sort of need to pare down.

Regardless of how you place your merits. Your choices come down to 3 elemental skill or 2 int vs 7 MAB. Call it what you want, 7MAB does far more than 2 int or 3 elemental skill.

And for those talking about diminishing results, 3 elemental skill probably hits that on the button.

So far there's been 2 reported JoLs since the update, both resulting in 2 earrings. Could still be a coincidence, but starting to smell like a 100% drop rate on earrings.
