Salvage - Silver Sea Remnants - thread 2

[aurik]

They should have retained the difficulty and boosted the drop rate.
1/25 on dekka is rediculous.
1/43 on hammerblow is mindblowing.

[Croaker]

Yup. Then zone sucks for drops.

... and then we got 3 Hikazu Kabuto last week in 4 runs.

Our usukane lotters are now happy, but I'm still 0/16 on Freya's gloves.

[-Zer0-]

wtf...

Gah...I guess I can't complain with 3 bees in one run with 1 drop in 2 attempts total... ._.

No, no you cant.

[Damane]

2. silver sea remnants run - killed 4 NMs floor 1 floor 2 floor 3 floor 3.... and again none of them droped even a lvl 35 piece lol

[Bakthi]

We went Hammerblow > Dekka > Gyro1 > LAC the other day. Hammerblow and Gyro1 both dropped, and LAC actually dropped something we wanted (1 usu feet...he refuses to give these to us, still two 35s waiting). I was floored.

A run like that is exactly what I want. Put out now!

[thorjones]

Our luck is horrible with this zone. 2 35s total from here. All the rest are closer to ten.
We've done this zone about ten more times than the others as well. I'm thinking its so bad because the boss
is so easy.

[Churchill]

I like to get brain jacked and then mpk as the main tank.

anyway, what are people seeing on Gyro for Deimos? 2/3 ;/

0:10ish. Done about 15 runs here and yet to see a single 35. Other LS group is 3:35 on 35's in this zone. 0:50ish on hikazu kabuto.

[Byrthnoth]

lol <,< We went 1/1 on Hammerblow last night, and I was noobing it up hardcore. Salvage really does reward noobs. We've had 4 runs and have gotten 3 35s.

Anyway, we got up to the fourth floor and tried a bit of an alternative Citadel Chelonian pull because we were short on time. We used the THF PD + Flee thing, but we didn't bother to pull the Ramparts very far. Basically, we had our three monks (and me) claim ramparts, pulled them back a little ways, and 2-hour them. Now, we didn't do jack shit to the group of 6 floating gears, so they waltzed in and I thought we were going to get wrecked. However, they didn't agro. Just floated right through us in their perfect line. I don't know what it was, but maybe they only agro magic or something? That could speed Floor 4 up quite a bit.

Fuck you. My group has been doing Salvage since June and has seen 5 or 6 35s drop, for a grand total of 3 completed pieces (/hate LBC, drop my Cuirass -.-).

You got lucky on positioning, most likely. Those gears have definitely aggro'd us just walking through the room.

[Kaylia]

Are you sure they werent running after someone else? It's not normal for them to not aggro if you fight in the middle of the path

[Byrthnoth]

It's possible. I'll talk to people and see if they saw what I saw and ask if anyone died to it.

[Heabea]

my group has killed this boss before but we are slow, we generally have 2 MNKs on it (neither have gaiters), then an assortment of RNGs, BLMs, THF, COR and/or SAM hitting it (of course we have a brd, whm and rdm), we'd like to shave off our time so we can do some NMs on the way, and someone mentioned using a DRK/SAM in the melee all the time and said their group kills in 10mins. how does the DRK not pull hate off MNK tanks, what weapon does he use, and how often should he souleater, if at all... this is like the last zone for us to master so we'd love to get it done with soon

[Arthars]

2/46 hikazu hara-ate

cant lot both yet so yay no 5/5 for me yet

im able to lot next body tho but i know its silvsearem and it will only drop again in 2010

Drk\sams has third eye and seigan

[Judai]

When we bring our DRK he zergs the last part. Normal Melee/WS full time and he pulls hate sometimes, co-tanks with me well. Last 25% or so we usually try to get full songs/buffs on him and let him SE/BW zerg it down hard. If I happen to have a Revitalizer and I 100 again at this point and it melts.

I think our DRK is uaully DRK/NIN though, think only time I saw him /SAM was for Bhaf and eventual nerfed LBC we shredded.

[Lyramion]

Random fun fact:

If people get charmed by LBC you can sleep them with NIGHTMARE


Well we had plenty of time left and I summoned Diabolos on WHM/SNM and slept a charmed MNK. Didn´t last too long - about half a charm - still FUN!

[Clynt]

Just a quick question before we go into Salvage, it's possible to do Hammerblow > Dekka > Gyroscopic Gear > Citadel Chelonian right? We'll have 11-12 people, we've only done turtle run once and it was a long time ago so not sure we can do that all in one run.
