Salvage - Arrapago Remnants - thread 2

[Zilong]

So today we managed to hit every single NM and boss with just 9 people.

No drop on any NM, 2 Ea's Body on AC.

Arrapago, even when you win, you lose.

[NynJa]

Every single NM ??
2 QQA, 3 QQTH (you found out how to pop the 6th floor one?), Chariot, Bhoot AND Psycheflayer (impressive) and boss ?

Are you really that bored that you had to fucking pick apart everything?

Yes, we POS hacked all over the fucking zone and hit both psyche and bhoot, then before the GM come to mordion us, we asked him to spawn the QQ on 6th floor and let us beat AC before suspending us, the GM was cool with it and so we killed the QQ and AC.

So now I'm on 3 day suspension, but it's fucking worth it.

[NynJa]

hey, you're the one who said it, not me...lol.

And here I was hoping someone figured out how to pop the 6F TH

Every single NM in Arrapago quite obviously means QQA -> QQTH -> QQTH -> Bhoot or Psycheflayer -> Chariot -> QQA. Don't be a moron.

[Zilong]

Wouldn't matter even if I did find out how to pop the 2 QQTH, seeing how you can only kill 2 NM each run with your crew anyway.

We got our third fucking Skadi feet last night. Haven't gotten a drop off of any other NMs, but we got plenty of Skadi feet...

[divisortheory]

The discoveries in Zhayolm about 5F Madame possibly not popping if you killed 4F Madame led me to believe that maybe Arrapago 6F Qiqirns don't pop if you killed the Qiqirns on previous floors.

Trust me, count your blessings, they weren't Enlil's Kolluks.

[Xerlic]

Trust me, count your blessings, they weren't Enlil's Kolluks.

Given what ended up happening to the Skadi feet, I would have prefered the Kolluks dropped. Long story short, we got fucked on cells this arrapago. The RNGs literally did nothing the entire run since we got 0 ranged cells. I could only play 1 song on BRD cuz of no instrument.

We wasted a lot of time, so going for the boss was out of the question. Anyways, we decide to just fuck around. I'm not sure of the specifics, but normally the guy who pops the 5f Chariot pops the door and I guess he aggros the Rampart in front of the door and goes and dies in a corner.

He asked if we could kill the Rampart so he wouldn't have to worry about it, so we pulled it. At this point there was 16 minutes on the clock. More than enough time to do the Chariot and the QQA. Well, we never messed with this rampart before, and it popped the Pugil and the Orobon from hell. The pugil was incredibly resistant to sleep due to no mages having weapons and was picking us off 1 by 1. The orobon was taking forever to kill. By the time we pulled the Chariot, we have less than 5 minutes left on the clock.

We killed it as the 30 second warning came up. Nobody had Skadi Feet declared, so I said anyone who could use the feet could lot. One of our WHMs, who was in a panic, hit Cast Lot instead of Pass by accident and happened to lot a 900+. -_- So yeah, if that was a Marduk Hands, at least he could use it lol.

When you get fucked that hard on ranged cells, pull a triple gear before pulling the chariot. Those have prettyhigh drop rate on Undulatus. Still means the RNG is useless until 5F, but better than nothing.

[Slott]

Err...I've walked passed that rampart with invis on, opened the door, invis'd again and walked back to my pt with 0 aggro countless times... perhaps your puller / sacrifice guy needs a change of strategy? :X

[safer]

those ramparts are strange

for 3 runs straight we'd always be able to just walk behind the 2 ramparts on the floor without getting agro with no sneak on (the one just before the large chariot room, and the one just before the portal room...)

one day however, (happened to be the day that everything up to the 5th floor had also gone wrong), we walked behind the rampart after killing off the gears and he decided to attack me...
no big deal, we killed him and slept 2 reinforcements that popped, then killed them after (2x devil manta's)... the monk then goes to open the door to pop the chariot and that rampart agro'd as well...
i cant say forsure exactly what he did, but he said he walked behind it just like he's done every single time, and it has never agro'd before

[divisortheory]

Sometimes they aggro, sometimes they don't. If you put invis up, I think they will never aggro. I've been the sole chariot popper over 15 times. I've had aggro without invis a few times, but with invis I've never gotten aggro.

Ive gotten aggro with invis on.

[Bleu]

I always sneak+invis past them just to be safe... never gotten aggro that way.

[Not Kuno]

Ive seen them randomly agro before when walking behind them. I have no idea why but it seems predetermined. Like.. if that day it will agro then it will agro. I dont know how else to put it but usually ramparts dont agro in my experience of running behind them w/o sneak or invis.

[Almalexia]

I jokingly say those ramparts aggro race. I'll get by, cat WHM gets by, all the tarus go, then it aggros the first elvaan. In most Arrapago runs I don't have any hume or galka, and there are times when the ramparts don't aggro anyone at all.

I've never seen, like, one taru get by and then another taru gets aggro. It's always the first person of a different race. Probably just eerie coincidence.

I've always thought that the next kind of aggro they should introduce is True-Job and True-Race aggro... Mobs that specifically aggro to Rangers, or Puppetmasters, or Red Mages... Or Tarutarus, or Elvaans, or Galkas...

That would be such a cool thing to introduce. They've introduced mobs that aggro Job Abilities... Why not Jobs themselves?

[Sagacious Sundi]

I remember when Poroggos were announced, people suggested that they should only aggro Tarus.
