    If you ask me, i'd say Peryton is a much harder one. The peryton door is very unforgiving when it comes to messing up. Not only you can render your chances null by making a bad pull, you can also fail to kill the gears on time, which makes low manning horrible (if not impossible, i have yet to see reports of this). Let's not mention the stupid thing with weather.

    Regardless, I concede that Citadel isn't exactly like Arrapago NMs, which are trully "just there" without doing much but opening a door. The only "challenges" regarding NMs in arrapago is the QQAs warping out and the QQTHs on the last floor.
    But what else is there to understand why SE would place such an abysmal drop rate on this zone? I guess we'll get Salvage drop adjustments in a year or so

    Weather NPC in whitegate is your friend . It's not 100% accurate, but you can get a good idea of the incomming weather.

    The pull aren't that bad either. We do it with 6 people every weeks, and havent failled in a long time. It's unforgiving in a way, but you will see it most of the time.

    The lesser time you take to get to 4F in SSR, the more box it will appear

    there is a minimum of 4 tho (2nd room)

    maximum of 8(obviously!)

    As for secrets, Im leaning towards the "newbie/sucky and /shout groups getting thew dorps"

    my statics are roughly:
    1/18,1/60,1/20,1/5 on kabuto
    1/40,1/15 on macha slops
    1/10,1/20,0/30ish atm
    1/8,1/70,1/4 on hara-ate(yes 1/70 is my body -_-)

    /shouts etc are:
    1/1 to 1/5 making each SSR you go with /shout or sucky or newbie yields a 35 at least!!!

    alma best described this already, bring someone who havent done any salvage before and you will see drops

    best is bring someone who will constantly /p "can i have that cell first? so i can be useful!!!!" on any cells he sees

    My group isn't exactly sucky, nor a /shout group, and we still get good drops <.<; We've done Salvage for over 1 and a half year with pretty much the same people. 123 drops to date.

    We have done salvage for longer than that with TH4 and have about 74 drops (and by drops I mean 35 peices). Going 4-5 days a week (used to go 6).

    Full clear each zone and boss. 6-8 members usually.

    WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU GET THIS LUCK.

    Also, 0/156 on turtle as of last night, and double marduk off the boss ftl Q.Q

    which zone do you ask him about? i wasn't aware that he would give weather reports for remnants. does it just match the weather in thickets?

    We go 5 times per week, 6-8 people. Occasionally we do duo/trio runs on unofficial days, and also have TH3/TH4, depending on days. We've done Salvage since February last year, so a bit over 1 and a half year.

    And yeah, I don't know where we get that luck either <.<; I guess all those blowjobs I've given out to GM's paid of.

    The trick is to "afk" when you are about to kill a boss, that way the game will drop it thinking you aren't there. Or you just actually miss 1 run and it will drop.
