VW cells, which ones to use?Follow

Hello.

I was always was advised that red cells = a better quality of drop but does that include heavy metal pouches and/or heavy metal plates or would blue cells be better to increase chance of those items?

Thankyou

If you have the inventory space and the cruor but you're short on gil, go ahead and use the blue cells too to increase the quantity.

Otherwise, I agree that red is the only important one. I've gotten plates without using red, but it's very rare.

Nobody knows for sure if Cobalt helps you get more chances at the rare drop. It's true that it always loads at the top, but it's not clear whether it's sorted there. You might as well use Cobalt too because Cruor isn't worth much these days.

I used to use both. Red to increase the chance to get rare with the more uncommon drops, and blue to increase the amount of slots available for items. Since I really don't know how or if TH works in Void Watch. I've always looked to blue as a remedial base line for Tresure Hunter. So instead of say 2 or 3 slots for loot in the box, you now have 4 or 5 with the extra blue. So unles your short on funds it's not a bad thing to have a few more chances with capped red light to score on the loot. With that said it does suck when the guy next to you gets the Ex drop with no cells used or traded.

The periapts that increase spectral alignment add only 25% each for a bonus of 50% for blue and red. Your max alignment without the periapts is 500% and 550% with them, which means a 50/50 chance of either 5 or 6 items (if you use cobalt cells). 550% is better than 500% but nowhere near 700% Also, only the periapts of concentration affect the number of items you get.

There is actually very little need to defeat every single VW NM because many of them drop the same periapt and some of them only drop an atmacite. Completing the storyline is good for Provenance Watcher access but won't have much of an effect on your drops.

which is one of the crappy things about voidwatch. Getting progression is out the window now - not that most people would even care since the drops are largely meaningless now...
