Salvage - Arrapago Remnants - thread 2

[Meat]

We attempted popping the 6th Floor QQTHs last night for the first time and was unsuccessful. We had NIN, MNK, THF, BRD, RDM, WHM, BLM (so rather DD light IMO). Our BLM got a fanatic's drink and our THF Flee + Perfect Dodge gather them all up and our BLM went off on them and got most of them down to like 30% or so before he died (he was decently unlocked too, I think he was just missing ranged somehow). If we had a 2nd BLM, probably could have killed them all. We ended up killing all the gears within 7 mins, but not enough time for the 2 Ramparts. The BLM thing also depends on if you get a fanatic's drink in the chest, so can't rely on this for every run either. Was a decent first attempt considering what all jobs we had going, I 'pose. Any tips or suggestions would be helpful.

Better if you do what our group does, but it requires a BRD having Troubadour.

Get up SP songs while sitting on the porter of the previous floor, then have the best melee go up and start fighting, he'll get a headstart on everyone. Anyway, bard sings everyone songs and chainpulls nonstop, melees will have SV songs and tear mobs up. After a while, before songs wear, bard uses Troubadour and then you all get extended SV songs which means you should have them up long enough. We haven't failed to pop it this way, but if your melees suck then it doesn't work as well.

is this with 6?

[Lhexh]

We do it the same way as Wafik with 6-7 and it works great.

0/21 on arrapago chariot with TH4
0 on the rats too
each piece it drops can complete a salv piece for us

seems like going to salv everyday = bad drop rate
my friend's group goes once a week and 5/6 on drops on the chariot, 3 ares bodies and 1 macha's coat ;_;

6 or so.

Setup is usually : MNK MNK THF BRD WHM RDM, THF helping to pull with acids while mnk destroy things is a helper. Don't be afraid to use Hundred Fists if the clock is ticking and shit is hitting the fan. Done it also with a mnk replaced by a WAR, but the rest still the same.

You can have all 5 of our Ares bodies for just one of your Morrigans. Closing the 0/300 ratio here in a couple weeks on that fucking Treasure Hunter.

[TB]

Last 4 runs were crazy for us: 3x Skadi Feet, Ares Body and today Usukane Legs. o_O

Still 1/70+ on QQTH tho....

[Koyangi]

QQTH and Aspid droprates need to increase...

[Zhais]

really got boned tonight ;;

even with TH3, weapon cells didn't want to drop whatsoever. cleared over half the 1F qutrubs just for two weapons ;;

Then QQTH was a bitch and kept hammering on blms instead of going to melee wasn't even able to kill chariot due to time wasting bad luck. no drops either!

[sarlazzar]

o.o omg, just got ares body after posting my last post here xD. 1/77 ish, but man, our last 5-6 runs are amazing, got 1 ares body, 2 morrigan body, 1 ares mask, 1 skadi feet, its been like 1 lvl 35 piece per run O_O

[Koyangi]

Finally got Macha's Coat, we also got usu head 35 yesterday too, a good 2 days!

[Seditedi]

How do people go about doing QQTH on Soulflayer side? For North I just kill first room while BLMs or RDM aggros the TH with a nuke and bio then as room is cleared TH will be getting to melee. Soulflayer aggro would be very annoying for the people that have to aggro the TH at spawn though. They easy to deaggro? Some of their positioning makes it hard to get by quickly without aggroing a few.

[Geneyus]

You can have your puller aggro and run into the room and let it go back to where you come up, on the soulflayer side. Not everyone is MGS --;

No arrapogga drops in 2 months. Last few times we were lucky to even get enough cells to function. First floor, kill all qutrub, one weapon cell. First 6 Lamia dropped nothing. Had a thf for every run.

Seriously, where the hell are you getting this luck?

Are you going with just 6? I don't know if it makes a big difference or anything but whenever we go with 8-10 people, our cell drops are awesome on 1F - lots of weapons, head cells, magic/abilities drop fine, everyone maxes on HP/belts before we port pretty quickly, etc. But when we go with 6, we spend the same amount of time killing just to get things for less people, it's kind of annoying. HP/belt drops maybe 1/4, while it drops at a rate of like 1/2 or better with more people for us.

*shrug* we always have THF.
