Dorp XXIII: 15M FOR BALTS, ALL BALTS MUST GO

Don't underestimate how much Excalibur speeds the fight up

10min tops, very realistic to even pop 6-7 with 3 stones.

edit: If you have a Yagrush you would be able to pop that many. It likes to spam Bad Breath a lot and having a good Yagrush WHM can make the fight a lot faster. Don't really know how fast your WHMs are, but tank pt gotta be on their a-game to make this fight smooth. We were fortunate to have 2 G horns 2 Aegis 1 Yagrush 1 Bravura 1 Amano for this fight which made it really fast.

No Yagrushes...1 Ghorn, 1 Aegis, 2 Amanos, 1 Gungnir, have at least a few decent WHMs. Anyway, I can live with 15-20min even, longer than that sounds bad for trying to do 3 or 4 in an evening.

Thanks.

IDK about this NM as I've never fought it, but meh, Amano is a better tanking weapon. ;p

Until you get charmed with a bravura war and start beating on the taru Got evasion down and attack down proc'd on me lol.

We had the Bravura, Amano, ExcalAegis and Aegis all tanking due to charm. You're going to want at least a few people that can bounce hate. '-'

I'm ok with taru death, really.

Ya, I assume we'll have 2 Amanos, Aegis just incase things go south, and 1-2 other DDs that are capable of, if not bouncing hate, having hate when the Amanos get charmed. ;p

Thought it was a pretty hot pool. Also got RDM-1, 2 RNG belts, DRK cape, and another dozen useless -1s/accessories.

Mithra? Really?

[Thorny]

i set my init.txt to do it automatically a while ago, long since sick of it i just don't care enough to fix it

[Ohaigaiz]

Being mithra in the first place is bad enough.

0/5 Things drop rate is not as good as I've heard, lots of eggs though, no necks.

Sad/funny story about that.

I was doing Walk of Echos at one point, my friends decided to go kill Chukwa to get my brother the bow, so they go out lowman with just them 4, a SMN, RDM, RDM, BLM, no TH At all.

I didn't have any stones so i couldn't join them anyway, well they kill it and get full drops (important drops) on it, Bow, Neck, and 2 eggs with 0TH.

Naturally none of them have PLD past level 5 and it hits the dirt, and i'm not 0/5 on Seeing it since then.

This game has a sick sense of humor =(

POIDH i know ;_; but i can 100% confirm Lacovie drops Goading Belt. 1/3 on Belt overall and 3/3 on galea and marks head.

I posted SS on FFXIAH if you just don't believe me and need proof.

For anyone who wants the picture, though Goading Belt has already been confirmed:

Thanks. I do remember the whole mix up with people thinking the Krab dropped the belt, and only SS I've ever seen of it dropping was from the JP source.
