    Salvage Changes

    Bhaflau Remnants
    Golden Armoury Crate with 10 cells at starting area:
    2 Incus
    2 Opacus
    2 Humilus
    1 Stratus OR Castellanus
    1 Congestus
    1 Duplicatus
    1 Praecipitatio

    No apparent changes to cells from any mobs.

    Silver Sea Remnants
    Golden Armoury Crate with 10 cells at starting area:
    2 Incus
    1 Opacus
    2 Humilus
    1 Spissatus
    2 Praecipitatio
    1 Duplicatus
    1 Stratus
    Edit: 2 Humilus, NOT 2 Opacus

    Mobs on the east path now drop 5 random(?) cells instead of 3. Mobs in the end room still drop 3x/2x as usual of the same cells.

    No apparent changes to cells from any mobs on 3rd floor or 4th floor.

    Arrapago Remnants
    Golden Armoury Crate with 10 cells at starting area:
    2 Incus
    2 Opacus
    1 Spissatus
    1 Duplicatus
    1 Praeciptiatio
    1 Undulatus
    1 Castellanus
    1 Congestus

    No apparent changes to cell drops; however, Qiqirn Astrologer dropped 2x Praecipitatio and I have never seen this before. Not sure if it's new or just rare.

    Please add your observations so we can get the most out of every Salvage!

    Re: Salvage Changes

    theres a decent post on KI, seems the crates always load 2 weapons, 1 magic, 1 SJ, 1 abilities, 1 hp or mp, then 4 randomish cells.

    As far as drop rates last night in Arrapago:
    0/1 Astrologer
    0/1 Deviate Bhoot
    0/1 TH (one ran too far away to chase)
    0/1 Archaic Chariot

    Either first rampart is hyper boosted, or the planet just alligned.

    We saw like 6 Widow at the first 40% or so before we decided to kill since we didnt have anyone that want 35 from that rampart.

    Re: Salvage Changes

    It might also be worth noting that the final Fomor room on floor 1 of Silver Seas seems to have had its drop rate boosted. Previously when we did about 2 volleys of nukes in the room, we received maybe 2 cells. This time around when we nuked one group, the treasure pool was was overflowing.

    If you desired, you could probably take a chance farming this room endlessly and be completely geared up by floor 1.

    Re: Salvage Changes

    I've already figured out the Arrapago Remnants chest with what I think is 100% accuracy, and the formula is as follows.

    Incus Cell
    Incus Cell
    Praecipitatio Cell
    Opacus Cell
    Duplicatus Cell
    { Praecipitatio Cell | Opacus Cell }
    { Humilus Cell | Spissatus Cell | Undulatus Cell | Cumulus Cell }
    { Humilus Cell | Spissatus Cell | Undulatus Cell | Cumulus Cell }
    { Castellanus Cell | Radiatus Cell | Virga Cell | Cirrocumulus Cell | Stratus Cell | Pannus Cell | Fractus Cell | Congestus Cell | Nimbus Cell | Velum Cell | Pileus Cell | Mediocris Cell }
    { Castellanus Cell | Radiatus Cell | Virga Cell | Cirrocumulus Cell | Stratus Cell | Pannus Cell | Fractus Cell | Congestus Cell | Nimbus Cell | Velum Cell | Pileus Cell | Mediocris Cell }

    From what I've seen, the other areas are the same thing, but if you get something that doesn't follow this pattern for any area, post the screenshot (preferably of the log, not the treasure pool, but it might not matter) and say when area it was from.

    No, because you're ignoring the one where my friend's group got 2 magic and 2 ability.


    Anyway, regarding drop rates Deviate Bhoots seem WAY higher drop rate now. It used to be fairly rare getting Opacus or Congestus off them, the other day out of 5 Deviate Bhoots we got 4 magic, 3 opacus, and 3 congestus. 3 times we had all 3 drops, which ive never seen before.

    We also got Deimos's Cuirass and Hikazu Hakama, but it was probably just a coincidence.

    Astrologers drop Magic, Treasure Hunters drop Weapons, seems like 0-2 per kill.

    Got 3-4 cells for regular fomor on West (normally 2-3), end room always dropped 3+1 so no change there. Powderkeg room Fomor drop 3-4 (usually 4) as opposed to always 3.

    I'm ignoring your friend's group's results because they are third party results not backed up with any evidence. Like Aurik said:

    POIDH.

    No one has been able to produce a screenshot that had 2 Opacus and 2 Praecipitatio Cells in the same treasure pool from the chest. It'd be great if it were true, as we'd know what slot it could enter into as well by using the screenshot results, but as of now it didn't happen.

    Did Arrapago today. Saw one Deimos' Cuirass from 2F and nothing else the rest of the way. I don't think they ninja-buffed anything as far as 35s go.

    Armored Chariot in Arrapago now drops two pieces of Lv25 gear instead of one.
