Salvage - Bhaflau Remnants - thread2

[cdgreg]

clicked yes when light was green last night, MB was up west



also had 2 useful drops from LBC to complete 2 more pieces, usukane legs and skadi feet /cheer

Oh nice, who got them? ^.^

tabasheer - usukane - well deserved, has been doing salvage with us forever
fezzick - skadi

we've been incredibly lucky with arrapago's archaic chariot lately, last week alone we had 4 35's from the archaic chariot with one double drop. Starting to spam LBC since we have something like 6-7 pieces just needing the 25. btw i'm still looking forward to your W chariot kill parse!

Well, we need to go to Bhaflau for Akanea's Usukane legs but he got hacked earlier this week. >.< So we won't be going there again until he gets back or we get another Arrapago drop, but right now we are focusing on Zhayolm to finish an Usukane head. LOL So, hope SE moves quick to get Akanea's account back.

Edit: Akanea got his account back today, so we might actually be able to test it out.

damn r3 that was fast, did he get rolled back?

I don't know if greg was talking about the run I did without him. We hit it on green and got MB west as well.

[Bleu]

I tried this tonight. I clicked right as it was that "yellowish" color going from red>green, and it was full green by the time I got my button down. No Mad Bomber up on the west side.

Impossible to say if my clicking skills just fail or what, need more tries.

Does anyone farm for stat cells before doing the 2nd floor flans? My group usually does flans/lolbees before farming stats. Trying to find some extra ways to save time for the boss if Mad Bomber happens to be up.

[SamanosukeShiva]

interesting theory on the red/green thing, i'm going to try it

[Kirbyprime]

Friend's run the other day started on green and got MB pop. No drops though.

[Maka]

Tonight's run, Green = Mad Bomber west side.

^ Did the same, same result. *shrug* That things move so fast that i really have a hard time believing it's tied.

Not really, there are 2 stages to each of the colors. A very faint green and a full bright green (same for red). I make sure that I go through the menu of options so that I have the "yes" screen on. Then wait for faint green so that when I click it, it is bright green. I am willing to accept that it is possibly something else or that our group has been incredibly lucky with MB, which is why I said do with this info as you wish. I still always take us in on all zones on green just cause its something I have always done.

On another note, we do have a Galka. If the real reason for our luck is the galka, I sure hope I can

[Kirbyprime]

Take this with a grain of salt since I heard this from a friend who heard this from a JP player.

According to them, they figured out how to pop MB 100% already a long time ago and that it had something to do with the door and the day.

I'm assuming the door is the color that is currently in testing. Not sure what the day means, though it might explain why some people aren't getting MB to pop while others get it repeatedly.

windsday green light = mad bomber

well that makes no sense at all george.

[thorjones]

Darksday green, Mad Bomber west side. No pops....But we had 7 Skirmish pops, only one dropped though.

This theory is beginning to look better and better, gonna try a couple more runs to see.

[Crizto]

Entered on green lights. Mad Bomber was up on the west side.

Starting a new Salvage group with some friends. Was wondering if it's possible to do 1F Rampart, 2F Rampart, kill 10 gears and Chariot and LBC with a set up of Mnk, War, Brd, Thf, Rdm, Whm, and BLM?

Could have 2 Mnk's but that would mean we would have to sacrifice the Thf, also the Blm could come as Nin, but he is much more geared towards Blm.

It will be very difficult if you expect to farm both ramparts down to 0% HP. If you plan to kill them at 50% if no pops, and accept that you may not have time for LBC if you are getting NM pops, that sounds quite doable with some practice.

LBC question. From what I remember and experienced, it's better to use most/all melee 2-hours early on LBC, right? Or only some of them like Hundred Fists?

it's better to save to 25~40%(depending what your set-up) for zerg due to helping avoid the tp spam that starts at 25%; however HF can be good early others better to save for finishing generally.

This is gonna depend on your group but after a funny wipe we triggered in Battleclad by using hundred fists x2 after 25%, we decided we were being stupid Personaly, i would recomend you use TP feeding 2hours early and less feeding moves any time you want. Hundred Fists is the perfect candidate to be used way before 25%, basicly because if done after 25% you'll be feeding the mob pretty fast and the TP spam may be harder to take (since it will use TP every time it reaches 100%). On the other hand, using it before 25% will trigger less moves as he won't be forcing every WS at 100%.

Except on LAC, which we take it easy and wait a couple of charm phases, we usualy Soul Voice at 80% and start 2hours at that time.

[Darkmoon]

Did Green light x2 and had no Mad Bomber West. (5 pops, no drops)

Thinking that my delay may be diffrent then most the people trying this since i use Xbox, and most here I assume use PC, I went RED on the 3rd run, and Mad Bomber was up west, going to test again later in the week to make sure this work.

If so, it may be a diffrent light for PC, Xbox, PS2, since the load times are a little diffrent causing yes on green to be slightly diffrent for each device.

Other notes that theroy debunkers want:

on 3rd enter on red, it was ice day, and im Mithra, we did have a galka for runs 2 and 3.

[Fridell]

I guess LBC question, recently i started to use Counterstance on Chariots, anyone do this on LBC with safe results? Crits can hurt etc but still, Counterstance LBC or not? Wanna hear from here first before i try it and might screw us over lol.
