Dorp XXIV: I AM VIV: AV Edition

[Flic]

Not vnms but you do need key items from other nms to pop them.

[Dooom]

Yep. I can deal with shit drop rates. I can deal with shit pop upgrade rates. I can deal with "fake mobs". Adding all 3 together in a system that even makes finding the god damned NM a pain in the ass was just wrong.

You forgot to add in that once you pop a T3/T4, you're back to the start of the line and have to go through all the upgrade BS again. Having to cycle through dozens (potentially hundreds) of wussy, no-challenge T1 and T2 mobs just so I might maybe have a shot at a ring is incredibly silly. I get that MMOs are a time sink, but this just takes the piss.

Yay for me.

The range on Whirl Claws is larger than you think. Didn't notice any !!s during the fight, fwiw.

Also 2 Auric Daggers, 2 viking hats (0/10 on neck now though), 1/3 on Serpentes Cuffs (seriously, I pass on about 6 drops in a row and then when it comes to my turn they hold back, was some small rage), and 2 Libeccio Mantles in the past two days. Plus a few other drops I'm probably forgetting about.

2/35, fuck this NM.

[Chen]

terribly weak, takes about 5-10mins to duo dd/nin + whm, drop rate 10%, takes about 2hrs total to get awesome feet that pair with a ridiculously easy hands drop.

cheer up!

Except for the fact that he doesn't actually drop those feet, this pic is obviously shooped. Brooder doesn't drop anything.

Mantles man, mantles. We all need more mantles.

^ this. Same for that fucking rabbit...

*mumbles* ..now to get those hands...hmmm

[zephr]

The hands are a bitch in their own right, just because they get your hopes up. Went 2/2 on them and had the same prospects with Brooder - then we got to 30 kills and wanted to kill ourselves. So many stones wasted on that shithead NM.

Hands are laughably easy to get, we get them on nearly every kill. Got a pair of my own earlier tonight. Auric Dagger and Siege Bow also dropped.

Feet though... ugh.

[Thorny]

Feet are just a matter of caring. 10-15 min visitant enter -> kill, do 2 kills a day and you'll get them eventually.

Eventually yes, but the opportunity cost in stones is rather frustrating at times.

I think we've seen one JSE neck off any NM, maybe two? Drop rate on those is pretty brutal as well.

I've killed Khalamari once so far. 1/1 on DNC neck, no viking helm :(

I hate you so much right now.

[Drac]

Got both Viking Helm and DNC neck, gave neck to some random DNC that was watching.

We were 2/2 in one night on the hands and previously 1/2 or so... so at least we are getting good rates on that drop :3

No shit? Are you suggesting people are not killing Brooder and hoping it'll drop?

Honestly the biggest bitch for me has been getting accidental t3 upgrades, am like 2/7 or something on that, and even with new t2 idk if I can spawn Brooder, the t3 abyssite seems to take priority no matter where the t3 is in the zone. But idk how the fuck VNMs work that well, and i dont give a fuck about Ruminator so I just toss it~

You realize if you have a Ruminator pop, you can never get another until you toss/use it? So keep it, and you're guaranteed to never lose your Brooder pop...

as a side note, get ApRadar.
