Has anyone sen Ulhuadshi -not- drop Eradico Mitts? because wiki lists them as 73.68% drop rate.

[Xerlic]

We're 4/4 with TH atma only.

I almost want to say someone didnt update the drop count correctly. We were someting like 9/9 last night.

[Thorny]

Seems like every mob has a ~75% drop and a low droprate relic wS weapon. I was sure dornen schuhs were 100% until the one time I saw them not drop.

[fredjanx]

Well.... that pretty much makes the mitts 84% drop rate.

[Auburn]

Well out of 100+ high tier nm kills we've never not gotten the '100%' drop from these things.

You sure everyone in the party/ally at the time didn't already have them? I've personally been there for probably 100ish upper tier NM kills, and have seen the high drop rate item drop every single time (Sword on fish, Katana on Sobek, Dagger on Amph, Boots on Dvergr, Boots on Sedna, GK on Bukhis, Mitts on SW, Boots on Wamoura, Crossbow or w/e on Corse). I've done some 35ish fishes, 10ish Sobeks, 10ish Amphs, 15ish Corses, 15ish Sandworms, 5ish Wamoura, 5ish Sednas, 5ish Bukhis, 10ish Dvergr...at the very least, 75% is vastly underrating it's droprate. Perhaps it's 99% or something like Attestation NM droprates supposedly? But there's no way 75% is even close to correct. Seems much more likely to me that everyone in your ally had it, but /shrug.

[Kirschy]

In older zones it seems like a 75% drop rate on items like Hero's Galea, Danzo Sun-Ate, Ludic Mitts, etc... But in the newer zones drops like Ace's Feet, MAB+7 Mitts, and Enmity+ feet have been 100% for us.

Positive, also saw a Sobek that didn't drop. I never lotted a Kamome or Dornen Schuhs for myself because I considered them awful uses of inventory space.

I'm not sure if this is known or not, but...

Blazing Eruca's spikes become more powerful if you heal it by causing phyiscal damage during WS, or magical damage during a spell cast.

I brought a bunch of BLMs to Blazing Eruca tonight, and told them to try to proc the grellow !!... A bunch of nukes wound up overlapping with Eruca's own spells, and Spikes went up to ~150 damage per hit. I died to a swift combo of me double attacking a lot as MNK, Firaga IV and Incinerate. BLMs kited and nuked, healing it a few times in the process. By the time I was unweakened, Spikes were doing ~450 damage per hit.

Yes, we fucked that one up.

[firefeng]

That's good to know. I was trying to figure out why one Eruca's spikes were only doing ~100 to me, while another that I came into halfway (kite/nuke around a rock) dealt 750 damage to me.

[Aemora]

So, from my personal experience of the parties I've had in these new zones, and I may be completely and utterly way way off here, but there seems to be only a pool of 2 jobs that drops from any set of family (in my experience). War/Rdm from Murex, War/Whm from Couerls and War/Mnk from Treants...

Is it just my random shitty luck or have other people experienced the same thing (for this zone)? When I did Vunkerl, I remember Murex dropping Cor/Sch/Smn, Pugils dropping Drg/Dnc, Bats dropping Sam/Dnc... Anyone had a plethora of jobs drop from the same family if you are there long enough?

Just wondering >.>!

[Deader2818]

100% Random. Ive seen 4 WHMs in the pool while during Murex. Have also seen RDM, WAR, MNK, THF, while doing murex.

[Tarubaby]

I've been 8/8 BLM feet seals for 3 weeks now and still haven't seen a pair. Shit is 100% random and they should do something to make said system less retarded.

[Foldypaws]

Our group saw 5/6 feet drop from cockatrice one night of farming there (all but whm), so if it's limited by mob type, it's not very.

[Cymmina]

Attohwa Murex gave us WHMx3, RDMx3, WARx2, Vunkerl Murex gave us SMNx3, SCHx3, DRGx2, BLUx2, NIN, COR. It could be the distribution per mob varies, but I highly doubt it.

[fredjanx]

A Coeurl dropped a chest with WAR and THF feet in it.

[NynJa]

Or it could just be martello core 07...

Definitely not set by mob, man up and kill faster and you'll get the AF you want.
