Royal Painter Escort

Anyone have any information on this quest?

What's the drop rate like on kyudogi items (Cerb leather and Yoichi Sash)?

How hard is it? Best setup? etc.

thanks for any info

I wish I could manage to assemble a static to get to #3 quest, and do it constantly at least once per week until I have all my attachments and, hopefully, a pair of Barbarossa's Zerehs too.
I refuse to buy attachments at such insane prices.

Tier 1: Sam/brd/blm/smn/rdm/war
          Sam/War/RDM/BLM kill the crew as they come along.
          SMN just buffs for now
          When the 2hr meds show up, the SMN will be able to kill 3 waves with every 2hr.
          Rest of the people will pick up mobs as needed/cure.         

Tier 2: We've won with sam/war war/nin rdm/blm whm/blm
          Kill the first round of Crew/Marines.
          Go and zerg the nm, it'll be/nearly dead after sam 2hr and rampage/raging rush. 
          Once the NM dies you automatically win. 
          Keep the npc cured/protected diaga/flash whatever til the melee wipe out the nm.
          Big ticket items: 2 yoichi sashes and a cerb from this. 
          Takes us roughly 3-5mins(buff/kill first wave of crew/marines)/zerg nm.
          
Tier 3: Won with as little as thf/whm/nin/sam. 
          All Melee sub nin.
          Thief SA pulls the capt from behind(not sure why we do this, we're tossing gloves lol)
          Sam/Nin kills the monkey and then go help the THF, who has been kiting the capt.
          If you get into trouble just trade hate and kite it up and around the stairs outside.
          We've gotten 1 pair of barb pants(from chest on boat).
          ???gloves we've gotten to the point of not being able to give away the barb. gloves
          ???box have turned into gems, pup attachments, and a hydra scale.

We've done 2 maybe 15 times and 3 around 20.
