    You can only get back-to-back seal drops solo if you take longer than 5 minutes between kills. There is a cooldown, and this is unavoidable. If you'd (royal "you") like to argue otherwise, you might as well be arguing that weapon skills can be paralyzed.

    Seeing as most of the Elite NMs are painfully easy, it seems like another nice way to blast through a subjob you need to level in addition to EXP scrolls and campaign ops.

    Not to mention Astral Burning. I guess we don't really need any other method than that.

    You can get a KS & BS within the 5 minutes, you just can't get 2 BS or 2 KS.

    I've done over 80 astralburns in the last 2 weeks. Every single time, killing 120-150 mobs, there was exactly one beastmen's seal in the treasure pool at the end(they are NOT forced out as they are EX, the crystals sort first). Wolfknight, you're wrong, plain and simple.

    i love these topics, there's always one guy who disagrees but can't come up with a SS to prove his side of the argument. I was also once a non-believer in this, now I have gone to the dark side!

    Quick question though: is it a 5 minute cool down from the point it distributes from the treasure pool, or 5 minutes from the actual drop to the treasure pool?

    If it's 5 minutes from the time it drops, who cares if you lot it out of the pool or not? Rare/ex items stay in the pool for 5 mins right? So even if you lot it out you still have to wait the remaining 4 minutes? Or do you mean from the moment it distributes to someone? Semantically I read drop = mob drops it into treasure pool.

    It's 5 minutes from the moment the monster dies, meaning with a slight lag you might, just might, see 2 seals in the pool for a brief moment.

    This came up in a thread a long time ago and I proved the more than 1 seal in the pool at a time with my 2box and myself in an alliance. Heavens to Merkatroid if I can find the screenshot though. I'm not sure if the timer resets if you fight solo and let it fall into your inventory.

    K, then what's the point of lotting seals out faster? Or was that poster just wrong, Rare/ex auto in 5 mins right, so shouldn't matter?

    1) When has anyone here said you can't see two seals in the same pool in an alliance?
    2) There's a screenshot of exactly that earlier in the thread.

    Alliance is defined as multiple pt's correct? Not by how many are in each pt? I'm not being a smartass here, being serious

    We know that an alliance of any size can get multiple seal drops, provided different parties get killshot. The real question is: does breaking or reforming your party in a specific way reset this timer?

    I'll account first I was mistaken forgot 7 not 6 so explains, but I am still not conceived I've never heard of seals being on some kinda exact timer before this thread, so I'd like to know how was decided was exact timer for both and that they apparently share, which I find hard to believe.

    At one point in history people found it hard to believe this planet wasn't flat.

    There's no point. Someone was trolling.

    Beside, you would think that if it's possible to have 2 seals in the pool with 2 party, having a seal in the pool doesn't change a thing.
    Eh, where are these tests? Are they documented somewhere?
