SCH on the other hand, we have seen alot of feet (well they did before i joined) but the other ones never want to drop, Xarc seems very stingy with the hat.

Hehe i grined at this,my budy was shouting on xarc for sch a whole run,on every mob, anoying taru.It didnt drop of course. Next run he was silent and 2 droped and second 1 FRELOOOOOOTTT,to his discontent XDDDD
Was funy at that time.

Our last dynamis buburumiu we made it rain with:

1x RDM belt
1x PUP Hands -1

That's with 2x TH4. We get our drops in streaks though. Every so often we have a slump buster night to make up for it. It's always been that way for us, even before the northland drop rates were adjusted.

A sample from last saturday's Dynamis-Qufim run. We had a ton of af, but a lack of accessories.

Dynamis drops in general for my linkshell have been plentiful. Been averaging out to about 15-20 AFs per zone including our last Xarc a couple weeks back when we saw all but Pld and Blm drop.

**dejet** · 2009-05-12 10:51

Ya last sandy we got 10 drops one 100
Last jeuno we got 8 drops no 100s >.>(ya no 100 from a jeuno...)
And windy 2 100s and I think 7 af

Seems to be the norm for us is 5-10 AF with a one or two 100s

we are a new shell too, only been running it for like 2 months, so as we get better I think we will be seeing even higher numbers.

**Korremar** · 2009-05-12 11:41

I'd almost be inclined to agree. For the past monthish, we've been getting miserably bad drop rates, regardless of zone. This is with multiple TH4s a run, hitting every statue and every mob. Last night in Sandy, we cleared about 85% of the zone, and didn't see a single 100 drop. Our last Bubu, we got a whopping 3 items, clearing all birds/scorps/crawlers/mandies/dhalmels, and a pull of urganites.

**Destinye** · 2009-05-12 12:19

Besides, didn't SE say recently they're going to look at the dreamlands and make some changes?

Aside that I notice a lot more, hell we had maybe 3-4 RDM bodies in beaucidine and RDM was one of the more rarer ones for us. Sometimes AF is in short supply..othertimes it rains but tends to rain multiple, like if PLD, RDM, DRK, BLM, NIN drops in xarc that's ALL that's going to be seen in xarc for the rest of the run.

**thetruepandagod** · 2009-05-13 04:27

where is the option for not ever noticing the change and still only getting 1-2 drops.

the only difference now is the freefalling blu/pup/dnc af2

**Velecic** · 2009-05-13 06:39

There's nothing wrong with droprates... Post-update droprates in northlands are amazing, we regularly come out of BCD / Xarc now with 15-20+ AF2s, our last Dynamis-Xarcabard looked like this :

SCH x2
NIN x5
SMN x2
BLM
WHM x3
RDM x2
DRG x2
WAR x2
RNG x3
DRK
PUP x2
BLU
DNC
COR

Yes, that's 28 drops from Dynamis-Xarcabard (QQ @ no thf or pld). <3 Dynamis Update. Cities we usually run 15-25 AF2s and 1-3 100 pieces, full clearing most of the time and TH4ing every mob / stone. CoP zones are stingy unless you farm beastmen, in which case it's ridiculous (works out to around 33% dropate on AF2 for us in the runs I've tracked it, last Qufim we came out with 11 drops, probably killed in the range of ~30 beastman, the one before we got 7 drops from 22 kills), we average about 2-6 accessories per run.

**Arkanna** · 2009-05-13 07:51

Some sample data for you.

Our drop data from our most recent run in each zone, with cities included for completeness' sake.

Off the top of my head, Saturday's Qufim run dropped:
RNG Belt, SCH Belt, COR, COR-1, BLM-1, RDM-1, SMN-1, BLU, BLU-1 which seems like an improvement if anything.

Last night's Xarc dropped: WAR (/toss), RDM, PLD x2, RNG x2, SAM, BLU

**Rilu** · 2009-05-13 08:59

just curious - all the people showing SUPER high drop rates- how many people do you have in your runs? I'm just wondering how many people an average Dynamis shell sends into these zones.

Oh, and, BLM hat finally dropped again last night in Xarc (BLM, SMN, WAR, SCH, DRK were only drops all night, with 2x TH4 there), but I lost lot AGAIN! 780 wasn't quite enough

. We got the Great Katana fragment as well, so it'll be a while before we hit Xarc again. Oh well!

My shell typically runs with 40-45. Sometimes less, sometimes more. I try to keep our roster in such a form as to approach the cap on attendance, making full clears of Sandy and Bastok very fast, full clears of Windurst and Jeuno more likely, and to maximize drops in BCD and Xarc.

**Mizango** · 2009-05-13 09:26

I would have to say no, the runs I was on before I had to work my turn on nights drops were bountiful. Even after I got home last night from work my wife was in Xarc and they got a shit ton of drops.

I was only at home for the last 30 mins or so of the run but they were up to 6 or 7 pieces at that point. I would have to say no to this as well.

**Deband** · 2009-05-13 17:48

Xarc tonight netted us.... A DRG, yes A DRG

For Northlands we usually run ~35-45 people
For Cities we usually run ~30-35 people
For CoP we almost always have 36 (Dual Tavnazia usually have 33-36 - 16-18 per run)

As said by Arkanna if you maintain numbers like this you can full clear all 4 cities (sometimes not jeuno/windy depends on attendance / performance that night) and glacier (short of Hydra) and kill a lot of mobs in Xarcabard. We make sure to put TH4 on every mob and hopefully every stone (doesn't always happen on larger pulls with multiple stones etc) and our droprates hold pretty solid in the different zones. Of course that's not saying you can't get a good number of drops with less people, but more people (assuming you aren't full clearing the zone) = more kills in the time alloted = more chances and usually more drops.

All that being said, the dynamis droprates in cities seem the same, northlands is vastly higher (we used to average 3-5 AF2s per xarcabard/BCD and now we average 10-15), CoP is the same except beastmen which now have a crazy droprate on AF2 (like I said it's around 33% with TH4 lol....).

We have anywhere from 20-25 people at anytime for dynamis

**Kujata** · 2009-05-14 15:57

Last Saturday we did a 12-14 man Beauc and got the following:

2 WHM
2 MNK
PLD
BLM
SMN
NIN
RDM

2 100 pieces (Over 350 total currency)

**dejet** · 2009-05-14 16:05

last 2 runs 20-30 people

**Renzy** · 2009-05-15 09:42

It wouldn't surprise me if they did, we usually get bad Dreamlands/Northlands drops. But then again maybe we're just getting unlucky

**Hwang** · 2009-05-15 10:08

We did Xarcabard on Tuesday and I thought something was up, we went for a long time before we even seen a drop, then within the last hour it was raining.

BRD
BST
BST
PLD
RDM
RNG
SAM
THF

These were all got heading down to the start (by Animated horn I believe) we had no drops round the NM's or on the 6 eye hill.
