Notables: Najelith added as a Trust spell, and new 3k point items are available this time around:
- Savory Shank
- Sweet Tea
- Red Pondweed
- Timepiece

Definitely a better route of getting those elusive KB pops... but only one per character, so I'm totally nabbing that Timepiece.

Also notable: return of ALL Limbus AF+1 job materials, from Temenos and Apollyon. Only 100 points each.

First appearance of WotG SCNM pop items, for the 8 Bastok/Beadeaux tier I NMs. I don't think there's anything particularly exciting from these NMs, but I'll be waiting for Windy/Oztroja pops in a future campaign to grab a Prester for my RNG.

But really, who am I kidding... SAVORY SHANKS??? I'm finally starting to believe I'll actually get my paws on a D.Ring. Gogo market crash! Should I make more mules? XD

Mmm, a new Trust (plus one I didn't have before), that's always good.

Probably never use em (esp if their AI is wonky) unless they fix em/tweak them, but they'll be good to have "just in case".

Sounds like a good idea, bypasses any need for THF to help get HQs to drop. And it should help reduce the lines in Behemoth's Dominion. Since the rate was about 1/3 anyhow, 3x the cost is about right. Except that we generally get 4500, with 500 going to whatever is their new trust, so that leaves 1000 to get the NQ pop.

And it's going to be a lot easier to ask someone in the LS to hold the pop from one of my same account alts for a moment. You can trade them, you can sell them, but you can't mail them to alts. (I know people would just start stacking them in mail, and SE didn't want that, but it's still not cool for those of us who refuse to 2box.)

Nope, it definitely was worse than 1/3.

FFXIDB puts HQ pop drop rates as closer to 10-15%.

I've been popping 12~14 Beastly Shank each campaign for many campaigns now, always pop on THF and generally get TH10 or so. I average around 1/6 on Savories. Sometimes a little luckier, sometimes worse (this campaign I was only 1/14).

So yeah, if you're getting 1/3 on Savory that's EXTREMELY lucky. If it was a 1/3 rate, Savory in bazaar wouldn't be ~12x the cost of Beastly in bazaar (expect some premium for not having to go pop and kill the NM to get the Savory in the first place, but not THAT much of a premium).

Fynlar's link to FFXIDB stats (10.7% without TH, 15.3% with TH3+) seems pretty accurate from my fairly extensive experience.

I am sort of considering using points for a pop or two to actually use. I know chance at Dring is low, but its sooooo pretty.
