Question on X's Knife BC

[Kobus]

anyone else getting nothing to drop from this?

my group has gotten nothing at all the last 3 times we've gone :/

here comes the hurricane...

[aurik]

Belongs in events unless you can manufacture some X's Knife drama to entertain us.

[Kobus]

thanks to whoever moved this.

1/1 on knife lawl

[pchan]

Half of the time nothing loads in the chest, not even some crappy synth. material. Out of like 20 tries I saw 2 weapons (the wrong ones ..) and 2 galateia, the other time it's either nothing or crap.

[Arthars]

spamming this bc for friend atm

so far we did about 14 times....(thats 14 weeks already omg -_-)

2 Y's scythe
1 Z's trident
0 X's knife(WOW WTF LOL)
many galateia
1 divine log
some random leathers etc
NOTHING once

imo weapons seems rare, something like nyzul's equipment. when a weapon drops, its prolly 1/3. I dont think Knife's random rate is lower from the other 2.

[Kobus]

out of 10ish runs:

1 z's trident
3 synth crap
rest, nothing at all

i guess it's good to know it's not just glitched or something :/

8 Runs with BLM x 3

2 x X's Knife
1 x Y's Scythe
1 x Z's Trident
1 x Viridian Urushi
2 x Cassie Lumber
2 x Nothing
(One run dropped X's Knife + Lumber, others all 1 or 0 items)

Stopped doing it cause the money drop items are such bad rate and going to be trashing weapons if drop.
Anyone wanna buy X's Knife on Pandy?

[Kaolas]

52 runs

1trident
2scythe
about 200k~ total of misc pheonix feather/eltoro leather (+1 120k clothcraft item)

God I hate this quest.

[Phraust]

Did this maybe 10-20 times total. The only thing that ever dropped was an X's.

8 Runs with BLM x 3

What was the strategy that you used with 3 blm? My manaburn Shell We Dance group's been talking about this bc, to try and get both X's and more galateia for a clothcrafting friend's final skillups, and throwing this in each week while we're already there would be a Good Thing™.

3x GAs > sleepga > 3x GAs is my bet

im doing this with blm blm rdm atm

i dual box 2 BLM and friend help sleepga + CS nuke pets after my opening 2x AM2

so basically my strat is:
1.opening 2x AM2 on X
2.RDM ES sleepga them 3, pets pop, rdm CS and nuke both. usually wyvern die and pet @ 50% and he starts kiting
3.blm IIIs x2 = Xs dead. then immediately AM2 on Z. ES sleep 2 on Z, aspir, and 2x IVs on Z(shes whm so theres small MDB, so need IVs compare to IIIs on X). X and Z should be dead
4. RDM should be kiting rabbit and Y this time, use spare MP from BLM to nuke rabbit to death, then rest full, rdm can nuke Y a bit while kiting too
5. get up, AM2 x 2 > IVs
6. /kneel and open the chest!

[Afrohatch]

3 months, around ~20 runs.
2 Scythes
1 X's
And a bunch of misc. junk. We have had our fair share of nothing being in the box, also.

3x GAs > sleepga > 3x GAs is my bet

Seems way too easy, even if you factor that it would be 3x ga3 > sleepga > Kill rabbit > Kill Wyvern > 3x ga3.

it can't be that easy... can it?

[Arthars]

i dunno abt that haha cos i used my strat as mention above

but i do know that 4-5 BLM with GA x4 or x5 at opening is immediate win

[Lordwafik]

3x GAs > sleepga > 3x GAs is my bet

Seems way too easy, even if you factor that it would be 3x ga3 > sleepga > Kill rabbit > Kill Wyvern > 3x ga3.

it can't be that easy... can it?

It's how I do it <_< I can't be bothered doing THF + BLM duo so I do it like this. Note : Usually it takes font to kill since the mithras are raping your faces, also chance of death is high. COR is a very nice 4th helper for MAB/M.acc.

Doing it with 4x BLM needs no manafont or anything so long as you have good equip. It's overkill.

For the record...you cannot double-up runs anymore, for whoever was doing it before the latest update. SE caught onto it and patched it D:
