I was the only SAM last night. Only used Jinpu once per fight. I can check log after work but im sure I only used it once.
Use Sanguine WS on monkey in Vunkerl Inlet. Got 6 paper. All freelot. Fuckin monkey.
I don't know and don't care to check whether this has been mentioned, but I've noticed that the mob's !! can change without the mob being defeated. While duoing the corse NM at Tahrongi, I was using Fire III since it produced similar damage to Thunder III, but without wasting excess MP. During the fight, I zoned out and returned while my friend kited the NM around the rock. When I returned, my first and subsequent Fire IIIs triggered a !!. After wiping at 50%, I decided it would be easier to HP and solo the NM instead of duoing. I soloed the NM until 25% and continued to utilize Fire III as my primary nuke (Note that in my previous attempt, I changed to Thunder III after triggering the III), but did not trigger a !! the entire fight. This suggests that the !! changed when I zoned in and when the NM went unclaimed.
Anyone notice !! effects wearing off? Our PLD triggered a Grellow !! on CC from his first (and only) flash. But we only got 3 balance items 2a+1b.
Gieremund, Grellow !! procced with Thunder III and Dark Threnody (two seperate occasions of course).
Only 2 seal drops on each :/
Briareus
Tachi: Jinpu triggered Red !! on Lightningday.
Received atma, hachimaki, cuisses, helm. No sash.
Also, Blizzard 4 triggered grellow !! on two different Adamastors, both popped on Iceday.
Didn't seem to help key item drop rate (was like 1/4 on each gigas), but nothing else seemed to trigger weaknesses.

That atma is crazy. Procced red !! 3/3 but only got SCH and SAM items for all 3 pops.
Any idea what ELSE it drops?
Grellow off of Bliz 4 on Cirein-croin. Dropped 2 lanterns, 2 jewels, 1 stone and sword.
We ended up going through about 9 head phases last night (lol) because we spent so much time trying to get the !! to proc, and it wouldn't even after resetting it. We did find out the head and the body seem to have separate rage timers, and the body is not to be fucked with when raged. 800+ melee hits, aoe's for upwards of 2k+. We reset the head and let it go idle, but the body was STILL RAGED. We ended up giving up, Excellence tried to zerg it and got wrecked fast. Definitely a mob not to be fucked with come rage time.
Went 1/1 on Atma when we proc'ed red in the first form (about 20 seconds into the fight). Did not ever reapply it.
For what it's worth, we had it go into head mode only once. When it reformed, and we took him down, it died and stayed dead. One of the more entertaining fights I've had in very long time.
