Dynamis Drop Adjustment Testimonials

[Corrderio]

From the admittedly low number of Northlands that we've done, I'd agree with this. We get a fair amount of AF out of Beau and our average Xarc is 2 per run.

I think on my last Xarc we got 4 relics. I think 1... possibly 2 came from NMs though.

Sucks my LS doesn't do city runs, I need my COR Hands and BLU Legs badly so I can finally store that crap.

Outlands seems to drop City AF like crazy, that's always an option.

[Corrderio]

Meh, my LS is a mercenary LS so unless we have a buyer we don't bother.

Our last Xarc run:

One of those THF went to me (after 4 long years) and then after equipping my precious this happened on next pull:

So yeah, Xarc seems to be fine by us.

[Vedder]

Since everyone's focused on Xarcabard, for good reason, here's our results:

Pre-patch:
10 runs, 29 AF2
Most in one run - 6
Job most dropped - PLD - 5

Post-patch:
7 runs, 71 AF2
Most in one run - 14
Job most dropped - RDM - 11

So yeah, we're feeling the drop increase big time and we <3 it.

I don't have enough data on CoP to form a mathematically justified analysis, but in my small sampling it just rains AF.

My shell has existed for 4 years or so and yet we only did our first Qufim last week and we have never beaten Valkurm (tried and messed up 2 times due to newness) and the remaining Valks were 1 hr farms. Bubu we've done enough to consider it "routine" clear and farm.

Now, even on those handful of kills of Beastmen duirng a Valkurm boss attempt (its what, 12 mobs 4 stats?) We've gotten 4-5 AF2 in those killed both times, for 15 minutes of work.

On our first Qufim last week, 9 AF spread among AF2, AF2+1, and AF2 Accessories .... and we didn't even clear. Yet I have logs of full 3.5 hour Bastok runs with less than that consistently and even TWO instances where we got ZERO yes ZERO drops in the failboat easy zone of em all.

I dunno, its such a small sample of CoP that I won't entirely judge it, I mean, it'd be like a new shell judging cities based on getting 15 AF or something on a Sandy, but man, its just shaping up to be that way.

Dynamis-Tavnazia tonight:

1x Blm body
1x Dnc legs
1x War body
1x Nin Body
1x Hydra Cap
1x Hydra Boots

Really hate SE for making a set hydra gear just for enhancing fellow NPCs.

One of my friends actually has 3/5 of that set. Unfortunately, it's the most common hydra set that we see drop. I was lucky enough to get the Hydra Salade myself.

Beastmen in CoP Dynamis seem to drop the AF2 like it's going out of style. We've started farming the beastmen a bit more than required just because of this.

[Minihex]

If coins are not a primary concern then spending a chunk of time in each CoP zone killing beastmen is definately better than cities from a relic perspective. The other side benefit is you get Windy relic without having to actually do windy. I don't know about most shells but this is particularly nice for us because it allows us to get people to 5/5 for storage purposes.

There is a significant coin trade off for doing so though. Even with adjusted drop rates in CoP zones they are never gonna generate anything close to a city or BCD unless the boss drops 4 100 pieces. Although statues can drop 100 pieces same as their city counterparts. Case in point did Quifim and had 2 100 pieces drop off statues and coin count was still under 400.

[thetruepandagod]

3.5hrs of farming xarc and doing DL

RDM x3
DRK
BRD
NIN x2
SMN x5... yes... 5 Summoner's Doublets...
COR
PUP

17 drops total.

What I'm anxious to know is the secondary zone where Argute Belt comes from. I have read Bubu, but there's been no visual confirmation of this. There's no known secondary zone either for Etoile Cape (from what I've read it's just Valkurm?). Anyone know more about this?

[Lishje]

Bard hands -1
Valor cape

260kish for whitebox.. hmmmm o:

[Saithorx]

I recommend your LS double the point value of the -1 items and give them the coins to upgrade. Better that then having everyone with a bunch of -1 items and no white borders.

[Valkrish]

had argute belt drop from diremites in qufim. (+1)

just in case that helps any.

[Fiendishone]

Yeah we had 2 SCH belts drop from weapons in qufim last night. Still havent' seen any confirmation what mobs they drop from in other zone.

[Fredjan]

Yeah I was aware of SCH in Qufim and DNC in Valk. I am a bit eager to know about the second zone for them because it wouldn't make any sense for them to only drop in 1 zone each.
