Low number Salvage

[Mijin]

Hey BG,

Me and some friends would like to take Salvage more serious, but we just a group 6~10 members with multi-jobs.

I would like to get an idea for a good setup to atleast farm the 15 / 35 armors as much as we can, and later will think about the Last Boss. As begining it doesnt matter in which area we going to start, so any area will be fine with us if you have any good strategy for it.

Thanks

There are several, ok MANY THREADS on salvage all over this forum. Just read them, they all describe strategies and what monsters drop what. Also check the wikipedia http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Salvage This states what mobs drop what cells, from there, tailor a strategy towards your set up.


Job combos? Monks always work, you can get away with almost anything

We cleared arrapago nms today with 1 thf/nin 1 mnk/nin 1 whm 1 rdm 2 blm.

As long as you have some tanks, healers and nukes, you're set.

Bring hi pots.

ppl when you open for them "Salvage" they always ask for mnk mnk and mnk. Yes we do have but not many i guess. How the NIN/WAR/THF with full skill H2H would work?

And never knew that even last boss would be taken by 1PT. thats nice.

Thanks for the link/tips i'll start to search them "alot of reading"

EDIT: (arrapago nms) sorry my bad thought the last boss..

MNK is not necessary, especially with the recent salvage changes

[aurik]

You can beat every zone with 6 people. It's easiest with like, 10 people.

[terraflarex]

Since the patch, you can bring any decent DD and like 8-10 into any zone and clear it easily assuming it is a well balanced group. Things like arrapago can be farmed with 5-6 ppl if you aren't going for the boss. Also.. good rangers + attack food on bosses is pure win.

Very true. You just have to be carefull of your hate.

[terraflarex]

Stealth shot helps a lot with hate if you have it merited. Allows you to WS (assuming you have abilities) w/o pulling too much hate.

I wouldn't call 10 people "low number salvage"

[Mijin]

Thanks for the info, will try it soon, i never paid attention to Salvage but browsing this forum and seeing many items completed is a good to give a try.
seems 10 members is the max number for the low number Salvage :D

For the ppl who completed some armors, do you see the required materials beside the 3 armor's pieces is overpriced? ex. 600k for Khroma x12 7.2M is alot for me. "thats what i heard from a friend"

[terraflarex]

Only the bodies piece materials are really brutal. If you have an overabundance of IS, you can do ISNM for khroma ores. If you have an overabundance of time you can spend days and days mining @ Halvung Staging point for Khroma. Either way start early on the materials for a body piece. Or you could just jack your mom's credit card and buy them with real monies! All of the other armors use relatively cheap materials, marid leather, wamoura cloth, bloodwood lumber, etc.

[safer]

problem with us isnt so much the cost on fairy.. about 100-130k each khroma ore.. its the complete lack of it...
we're sitting on a morrigans and ares body completion cause of lack of ores (with 2 more morrigans being sorta close)

i really suggest you start farming early for the ingots

[terraflarex]

By early he means 5 months ago.

I've been sitting on 12 ingots for a while now but no regrets cause the price is sky rocketing on remora..

[Beckwin]

RMT are starting to mine like mad, should drop the prices down a bit.

[Tulun]

Can this be done with only 1 BLM, or is two basically required for a lot of the popped NMs?

I'm thinking of hosting my own, just wondering if I need to locate a 2nd BLM. I've found our mage core highly uninterested in Salvage so far (sadly).

[aurik]

Most of salvage can be done with 0 blms.

[Kaylia]

With the new Red vs Blue assault, I'm starting to think about making a 6ppl static that farm Morrigan/Ares lv 25 Body daily...well 4times a week when I'm not going with LS or my salvage party. It's the only way i see to farm those body in a decent times

[aurik]

<_< I've done 12 salvages in the 12 days since the patch.

[Kaylia]

I would if I could find enough people with point to go daily. I,ve been doing salvage once every 2 days since last maint, it's just that people on lower rank have trouble to keep up with point.

Same here. :/ Theres quite a number of people in my group who are rank 1/2 and the majority at around 5 or 6. I'm upto the highest rank but it's useless if nobody else is. ~_~
