I just saw this and was wondering why the fuck Dyna-Qufim was included.

[Hapernack]

I heard you can triple your accessories and -1s there if you @#$#@$#@$@#@#$.

[Hellfury]

For about 15 minutes starting on Dec. 22, 2008 13:00 (GMT)
for the Europeans

and yeah, that's a weird mix; the adjacent areas to the starter cities, and Dyna-qufim..

Quick everyone jump into Dynamis - Qufim and abu... test this!

[Cloudius]

Could do with new AF feet not droping in CoP dynamis.

[Aksannyi]

I did kinda have a chuckle at Dynamis - Qufim. Doesn't quite fit ... wonder what they're fixing (breaking).

[Not Kuno]

Yeah it could be this.

[terraflarex]

Obviously patching JEJ drop % / other NMs to corresponding zones.

[The Stig]

Were astral boxes appearing in Dynamis Qufim?

That's all I can think of regarding the lined up zones, haha.

[Razgrize]

My LS has done Dynamis-Qufim 2x since the new AF was added. None of them dropped. Not a surprise by far lol. Was there any reported Dynamis-Qufim drops from any LS since the update?

[Xand]

we got sch legs on saturday!

Or the last page or 2 of that thread, which basically says that COR(and I think SCH?) feet don't drop in CoP zones, but instead 2 zones drop the legs.

There is a somewhat continuing conversation going on in the Dynamis Drop Adjustment thread about new job AF2 in Qufim ... it's not that it doesn't drop, it's that for some jobs (like COR) the wrong piece drops. So both Qufim and Valkurm drop COR legs, but neither drops the feet.

We recently got the DNC AF2 head in Qufim as well, the level 72 piece, which is out of line with the level 73 drop theme for city af2 in that zone.

Anyway, that's the only thing I know to be off there, so maybe they are fixing it?

[Important Update Details]

[Diamicles]

Probably this.

Dancer's Tiara dropped for us last Thursday in Dyna-Qufim, and all info that I read said that feet dropped there. Hence the reason that I didn't /seacom dancer relic, and didn't get to lot it when it dropped.....

[ChibiKawaiiMei]

My LS was raving about how much money they were making off the astral box drops. Oh well..

[The Stig]

- Within the Starlight Celebration, the drop rate of treasure obtained from "Astral Box" has been adjusted.

I wonder if they increased or decreased... I NPCed like 20-30 of those items already (making me roughly 20k) within like 1 hour or so. Not bad when I'm mindlessly focused on the TV.

Vedder summed it up pretty much. Seems pretty obvious that the Dancer AF2 will be fixed appropriately with the Feet in Qufim and the Head in Bubu. Only thing I wonder about is whether they went about fixing the Corsair while they were at it.

Aw man, they fixed that? Now CORs will be stuck getting feet when every single pirate wants the pants~
