Chelonian only run

[Bishop1]

Have done it that way before and never make it to turtle this way, not when most of your group has never dealt with salvage before and its difficult just getting them to pass.

You need to smarten up man. You can get anyone to pass if you know how to talk to people. People are paying me 2.5m for Usukane 25 feet. I'm sure you can get couple people that want boss drop to come. Even if you don't kill boss you still kill your NM.

When, please pass, /tell <t> pass please, <call5> PASS FK'N magic all don't work, not rly sure where to go from there. Can try for boss, but may be difficult to do with straight pick up and if we don't win, will be hard to convince them to come along again.

That's when you kick them and find people who aren't retarded.

You need to scare them. Tell them to stop being fucking AFK, and ask them wtf you keep them around for if they can't even do something as simple as passing/lotting the correct cells.

Either way, when people get used to the cell order passing usually goes faster.

[Agana]

Whenever my salvage group goes, we do Hammerblow > Powderkeg > Gyro gears (ares legs one) > then Chelonian. We have usually 7-8 people and get it done just about every time, everyone need something from those NMs still.

I'm sure with a pick up group you could get at least 3 NMs

[pchan]

If I take a salvage pickup on my server (rarely see any), during EU or NA prime : wipe on 1F, wipe on 2F, no time for anyhting else.

[mdkuser]

NA pickups whatever generally suck. Khajit did a bhaflau 1+2 run the other day at EU times, and they started the run going east of course, and you can imagine the rest.

Most JP pickups in SS do AT LEAST 1+2+3+4 or 1+2 (+3 if time) +boss, and ve seen quite a few do a full clear.

[Gaea]

Hey Veg. Try combinations of 1234 or 4F+Boss. That's what I've been doing with my group. But we also need the cards for the frogs. Basically, we get a card we do frogs and we come back here and farm another along with NMs. I haven't had any trouble targeting CC this way. We just have to keep at it.

But seriously, hara ate is a myth. Killed CC again this week and nuffn.

Most pickups are as good as the person leading the pickup.

Most pickups are as good as the person leading the pickup.

While leadership is important it is not the limiting factor. Pickup players usually have a variety of bad traits; poor gear, don't listen, lack of understanding of game mechanics, slow at passing cells, slow at pulling, and afk

you can be best leader in game and if people don't listen it does nothing.

With a group of 6, NMs 1,2,3,4 can definitely be done. Of particular note, try to bring along a THF you know and trust as their job is pretty important for a run that will end with Citadel.

Here's how we do it:
1st: Clear two side rooms for cells and head to Hammer.
2nd: NW to Dekka
3rd: Gyroscopic
4th: THF train. 2hr zerg stationary rampart. Port.
5th: THF PD train. Pick off 4 and kill. Take out Citadel then go cry in a corner.

If your THF is skilled he/she can die and come back to help kill the 4 ramparts as well apply some TH to Citadel. I'm pretty sure you can find people who want the gears from the NMs you will kill along the way.

Good luck and keep at it. Welcome to the 4/5 Usukane club.

[Uzor]

Body's not necessarily the last piece you get. Some people in my group have the body before full set Only because Bhaflau boss is being stupid and keep giving us double Skadi though /=

[Kaia]

If you're really paying people to do this, tell them you'll pay them based on their performance. If they wanna afk, not pass cells, and waste everybody's time, then don't pay them.

Good luck on this... and I mean that with the utmost sincerity. Any hardcore salvager who's had to deal with new members feels your pain... and stupid LS leaders like me who pass the 35 body to strengthen the linkshell, then never see a drop again will feel your pain even more. The only thing worse than being 2nd in line for usu body is being first in line.

We've been doing this but also killing Gyro3. Are you guys going for boss too? Nearly half my 200 salvage runs have been in SSR, and I've managed to see 2 usu head drops and 0 bodies. This is the last one I need too

We were doing the Apollyon with the kings, and when we got to Adamantoise, I just didn't have it in me to really try on him. Anyways, I'd have to say I agree with something more like this. You could probably build a group that wants stuff off of those other 4 NMs.

The only thing that sucks about doing the NMs before Citadel is that you know when another NM drops something, he's not going to have shit for you. SSR refuses to deliver multiple 35s. As nice as it is to see an LS member of mine get Skadi hands, I'm still thinking "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK" the rest of the run.

[Andri]

So how is your quest going? Still doing the CC pickups?

[Cream Soda]

Trying to a few times a week but always takes forever to get enough ppl willing to go and the others start to leave due to waiting for so long.

[Andri]

I might be interested in going. Although my play time is pretty nasty and often filled with events. If you are ever trying to fill a slot, search my name and see what I'm doing. I'd probably prefer to go Thief or bard because I can't stand morons who fuck up pulls in salvage or stand there in dumbstruck in front of a room full of mobs.

[Ustav]

Do the six roaming gears have party hate or can you pick them off as someone sacs them?

Edit: Also do the roaming gears aggro to the 4 ramparts that you kill to spawn the stationary rampart.

[Suiram]

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that the roaming gears won't have PT hate if they aggro someone, but will if someone touches them (maybe this is true of all pt-hate mobs?)

I'm fairly sure too that they'll link with the ramparts, but as has been pointed out before if someone aggros them before they reach you, then once they kill that person and move on they won't aggro until a few seconds have passed and they've already left the room (leaving you in the clear).
