Salvage Changes

[divisortheory]

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

Yay!

Also - does anyone know if you get a time extend for killing the boss now? It happens in Einherjar (kill boss, 5 min time extend), but I don't remember seeing it when we did LBC the other day...

get a TE so that you can.... just sit there longer since there's no more mobs in the zone?

[Judai]

So you can distribute gear.

No idea if this is common or not, but in Arrapago a few days ago we got 6 drops off of ramparts, which complimented a double ea body drop off of boss. Ramparts usually drops this much or is it in change?

[aurik]

Cell drops off ramparts in Arrapago is higher.

Armor drops off gears has always been stupidly high in Arrapago. We normally get 3+ just clearing floor6.

[Suiram]

Did Princess Pudding (Arrapago Slot NM) always drop a magic cell? Either way, it does now lol

[Rocl]

Fairly certain when we killed the pudding it dropped magic (way back before patch)

Wow... this zone is definitely too easy now. We went in with 16 people today (big turn up). We killed 2F Astrologer, 3F S QQTH, 4F S QQTH, 4F S Psychflayer (dropped Macha's Crown completing piece#6), 5F S Chariot (dropped Freyr's Ledelsens completing piece#7), and beat the boss with 10 minutes left over (could've killed 5F S Astrologer as well). Took about 10 minutes to kill boss and got Phobo's Sabatons and Bobdb Pigaches off boss.

The beginning chest made is incredibly easier to farm 1st floor and cell drop rates are definitely alot higher. Lamia cell drops arenot 100% though because we had quite a few that dropped nothing. Qutrub drop rates are still pretty crappy but starting with 2 weapons makes it so easy to ram through them fast. 2F Astrologer did drop a magic for us but nothing else. QQTH still drop dex and agi cells. Armor drop rates definitely remained the same from what I see.

Yesterday we did silver seas and killed Hammerbow, Dekka, Gyro1, Gyro3, and Citadel and went 0/5 on all 5 NMs.

wow gay, Mad bomber up, entirely chigoes. Popped flan rampart, entirely hunter bees.

I'm starting to think equip drop rates have changed a little.

Since the update we're:

2/5 Deimos's Cuirass
1/3 Hikazu Hakama
1/3 Freya's Ledelsens
1/3 Enlil's Kolluks
1/1 Hikazu Kabuto (still 1 hour left on this run)

And other groups are reporting similarly high drop rates.

It's possible that all the servers are collectively lucky as hell, but idk. This is pretty unusual.

It may just be a surge in Salvage runs after the update, giving more chances for people to report a good run. We had another typical 0/everything in Arrapago last night, but I'd be thrilled for any increase in 35 drop rate.

I don't think that's it, because the same groups that are reporting tons of drops are the same ones that have been doing Salvage forever.

[aurik]

Well then let me be the first to report 0/5 full runs since the patch.

[Lhexh]

Yea we are same as Aurik, 5 salvages since update and big 0 on 35 drops total.

[Julian]

3 runs after patch, 0/all NMs, killed everything except bhoot/flayer NMs on all 3 runs

[Xerlic]

We're 0/whatever post-update as well.

[payu]

We have 1 35 drop in a total of 4-5 Runs since the patch. Defo not been upped :D

0/3 QQ TH
0/2 QQ Astro
0/1 Devi Bhoot
0/2 Archaic Chariot (any drop)

[Nikko]

1/10 ish on 35NMs and 0 NMs out of 2 bhaf ramparts (1 chigoes 1 bee) post-patch.

[Wizerd]

0/4 QQTH
0/1 QQA
0/2 Chariot
0/1 Bhoot

[divisortheory]

Well, this is comforting actually because frankly I don't want an increased drop rate on Lv. 35s or else the gear will really become too easy. The fact that we can do NMs and boss in the same route is "increased drop rate" as it is.
