Union Drops

[ling3rings0ul]

I think it's base on the amount of AN gain instead of exp. I was alone in a union in GC, I got 1200 exp and forgot the amount of AN, I was able to pop a chest with two items (rainbow thread and something else i can't remember).

Do party or alliance kills gain drops for all unions in the party/alliance?

Like a party with 5 man, one from each union gets a kill shot. Does every union get a copy of a drop? Or still only the person's union?

I am leaning towards Allied Notes as well now, however interesting to note that a friend of mine got 3 kill shots in Crawler's Nest, in a two-man Union. There were only two items in the chest, and she got ~1300 exp.

[Rocl]

Total Exp Earned: 1345 combined
Total AN Earned: 711 combined

So I was going to take 1000 exp per drop, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. I just got done a one-man show at La Vaule [S], with 2525 exp and 1264 AN to show for it. I did pop a box, however it only had one drop in it.

1300 exp per drop? or maybe 700 A.N. per drop? Any other info people have would be nice.

Anyone know where to find the adders union chest in crawlers nest?

Well just did a campaign in Batallia, got under 500 exp and AN still was able to pop the coffer and lot however my lots were pretty low(20-230), compared to when I did a West Saru campaign and got 1.5k exp/AN and had fairly decent lots (800-940s), I've been noticing this trend a lot, it could be placebo, but it's been pretty consistent for me.

Each time had 1(Batallia with low exp)-5(the west saru one with higher exp/an) items, so yeah it could mostly be based on the exp and union contribution, I always joined the lowest amount of members in a union and fight.

If you are dead when the chest is popped, and all living members lot/pass, then loot will distribute and you will not get a chance to lot.

[evilpaul]

If you get disconnected during a fight after pitching in enough that you'd be able to lot and log back in before the Union treasure pool is all lotted or auto-sorts you can lot too.

You still miss out on the EXP, of course.

Dunno if it's a bug or a feature though.

More confirmation of killshot = treasure pool item from NM @ top - just did my first Union cuz I've been on vacation.

Edit:

Hopefully more confirmation incoming

Well this kinda goes against the theory I think. I failed to SS pool but it was STR potion @ top -> ebony log -> gnole claw -> super ether

Interesting to say the least.

Edit #2: Final campaign of the night. NM was a DRK afaik and I REALLY suck at lotting.

Hrm. I dunno :3

[Silenka]

As far as killshot theory goes, what if it 'falls to the ground' due to DoT? Would the loot be attributed to the person who stuck the DoT? What if an NPC gets the killshot? Will the loot from the boss not come up at all?

[Rocl]

I would not be surprised if not all generals had a 100% drop.

[BerenTebogo]

I have NO idea I did my first 3 unions just now and figured I'd contribute to the testing of something simple. I lied about last campaign :3 Didn't rank up. Gonna try to snipe No Mho Crimsonarmor

Edit: failed Q_Q

[Asdrabael]

Killshots are getting difficult to test now because JPs will all hold their tp from 15%-2% and everyone tries to WS at once for killshot.

If NPCs or DoTs kills it, the killshot should go to the guy with the last action on it. I.E. red to you.

I also do this. People have always been doing this for the bonus experience.

[chiyio]

They need to change that killshot BS, item distribution should be based on the union that generates the most AN/XP on a a mob, not who can hold their TP to 300 and plop their WS at 3%.

I received a Bloodwood Log today in the Necropolis, so I can believe that Imp Wootz ingot could drop somewhere.

unfortunately i hadn't thought ahead to take a pic... so yeah..

[BerenTebogo]

killshot on Vaa Oozu the Redolent and Mushroom sautee took first position in pool. Safe to say no drop.

Unicorn horn from Sauro S just now which is roughly 150k here, not too shabby.

[macross]

Are those 100 currency drops for real lol? Too easy to shop it.
