Salvage - Arrapago Remnants - thread 2

[Ambir]

By the way, do Archaic Gears in Arrapago not aggro, or was that some freak occurence from my run last night ?

There's one on the fifth floor (just outside where the qiqirn pops) that a lot of times doesn't seem to aggro when you run past. Seems to be a pathing glitch, where it doesn't actually see you. It still aggroes to magic.

Who said that 3rd floor qutrubs and skeletons are a better drop rate ?? Someone lied...
Cleared all 6 3F qutrubs, got 2 head/neck, and thats it. 2 THF's too.

I said the skeletons are, idk about the qutrubs. I can show you the exact parse results if you want, but it was something like 50-something skeletons killed from first and third floors, with the first floor being about 1/5 and the third floor being about 1/3

[NynJa]

you talking HP or HP/BackWaist drop ?

[divisortheory]

you talking HP or HP/BackWaist drop ?

HP, I have results for waist/back also but I don't recall them. They seem a bit rarer than HP in my experience though, just going off gut feeling.

[Crosis]

IMO the Skeletons and Qutrub from floors 1-3 have a similar drop rate, if not the same.

And that 5th floor gear that doesn't aggro is just weird. My last two runs it has aggroed just by running by though, so maybe they fixed it?

Our LS is 2 for 65 from NM drops in Arrapago. One Deimos's Mask and one Enlil's Kolluks. 3% drop rate goooo.

There are 7 Qutrubs. If you look in the long room there is 1 there, relatively easy to pull past the 2 lamias.

Out of all the Skeletons and Qutrubs I've killed, it really looks like Humilus, Cirrocumulus, Incus, and Castellanus have the exact same drop rate. A sample size of 50 is no good when mobs are dropping 1/3 or 1/5 because a single drop can sway the results so much.

We got another Deimos's Cuirass on our first run last night off 5F QQA and a Macha's Crown off the Psycheflayer NM, so we're 1/1 on Psycheflayer and like 3/20ish? on QQA.

We're 0/46? on QQA. We've been running Arrapago to finish it up for a guy whose been 2/3 since shortly after Salvage was released lol...

But Deimos isn't even the one we want... we're 0/??? on the Usukane legs piece, Skadi feet piece, Marduk hands piece, Deimos's Mask, and of course Macha's Coat, all of which we usually have someone there who wants or can at least use. We only wanted 1 Deimos's Cuirass, and that guy got it on the second drop.

Go figure eh?

[Beckwin]

Also got another Deimos last night, and for someone who only joins us occasionally. Starting to look like the macha's drop rate is much much lower based on all the reports I've read here. I think we're about.... 1/30ish on QQTH and 2/20-25ish on QQA, and I've heard worse stories from other groups about QQTH (Wizerd and Terraflarex on remora, and someone posted some crazy 0/90 shit iirc).

Does anyone else feel this might possibly be substantiated?

[Millael]

It would be understandable if QQ Astro had a higher chance to drop than TH. The Astrologer has a chance of escaping, thus removing all chance you have of receiving the item - the TH does not.

[Aemora]

Well, our group is 2/3 on QQA (was 2/2, but this doesn't include the four times he warped), and 1/5 on QQTH. 0/4 on Chariot. I much prefer Arrapago after the update than before.

From what I've seen though, Qutrub drops seems to have remained the same, where as Lamia drops and magic seems to have gone up to no end; since the update, I personally haven't seen one Lamia not drop Magic and/or MP (that could drop Magic or MP).

Ive had several Lamia drop nothing in this zone.

As for any NM drops, 0/alot... I do this zone about once every 2 weeks with my salvage LS and then twice a week with a 6 man strike force to try and even out the horrible drop rate.

[Jhun]

Fuck this zone, this is all I have to say
1 HP cell
4 MP cells
3 Weapon cells
4 SJ cells(thx to the fking socket NM)

And 0/287346827638496 on all NMs including the fucking running bastard QQTH and Chariot shit.

Don't know how we managed to kill Chariot with only those cells

Sounds like normal cell drops to me.. Not sure why you bothered to kill the socket NM though, he's a major asspain and you can get plenty of SJ cells from Archaic Gear and stealing from QQAs.

The 2 previous Arrapago farming runs were better concerns cells drop rate.

Killing the socket NM helped us alot since the gears in 5th floor didn't drop any SJ cell.

Your luck is totally unreal in this zone =\ We're approaching 0/50 on the QQs.

[NynJa]

lawl...

First floor: 1 incus off a couple qutrub, ZERO hp off like 10 skele
Third floor: 1 incus off ~6 qutrub, 2 HP off 10 or so skele.

Fortunately:
5th+6th floor: 4 HP off 5 ramparts. PHEW

[Kerberoz]

So far around 0/5-10 on everything. Only 35 drop was enlil's kolluks.
