How many Hazmats did you kill?Follow

Seriously, I think this is less than 5% drop rate.

I am sitting on 0/27 and counting.

I tried everything. Th4 TH2 TH1 noTH.

The thing that sucks the most is on the way to Hazmat, I saw hyakinthos and got the drop 1/1.

I hope I didn't ruin it for myself.

I went 1/8 personally, though I think that was because a stupid bomb exploded at high health and got an lucky unresist and one shot me and oniwaka. >:(

Go go tarutaru sacrifice! TH+100!

I lucked out. 1/4. No TH on any of the kills.

0/72 on Herder's subligar so far. That's supposedly a 9% drop rate. So yeah, cry me a river on drop rates.



Had to go to Jeuno just to empty out my inventory. 80/80 in both satchel and inventory. This is getting old.

Go figure.



1/73.

sorry to hear you still haven't gotten the boots taco. but at least you got the ring. grats ^^

I am now 0/34 on Hazmat.

I need to get these before the whole ffxi population lvls pup after update.

1/41.

Finally the war against the bombs is over!

1/18 .. and I thought I had bad luck...

Just gone 1/1 solo as pup/nin =D

Least its some comfort compared to the 1 and half merit points ive gotten from boompadu and still no drop

I'm guessing he's talking about Virtuoso Belt

Skipped Hazmat, went for Setanta's instead... 1/4 >.>

Something tells me the Spurrer Beret NM is going to be a HUGE cockblock ._.

Man I don't even play the game and I'm jealous. Congrats!Bandwagoners GO!

Never suggested that you was a bandwagoner, I just thought you meant that Spurrer Beret would be a cockblock due to all of the noobs camping it in anticipation for the PUPdate. Now that you've mentioned it though.. it is curious that PUP isn't in your sig lol. To be fiar though, who updates their sig in this day and age?

Well I'm not some numbers guy, but I would imagine that the fSTR from Pup. Boots +1 could raise your damage by about 1.6%? (Assuming it doesn't bump your fSTR by 2, which it could depending on your current STR). the +5 accuracy means in a situation when your accuracy isn't capped (Which even post update will still be hard to reach in some cases), your hitrate will increase by 2.5%, so your looking at a 4.1% DoT increase from boots... I think (Someone verify this please -_-).
Promptitude Solea have +2 accuracy (1% hit rate) and 2% haste (Which in a scenario of going from 13% haste to 15% haste would be a 2.71% increase to DoT, and from 15% to 17% is a 2.83% increase). So in a 17% haste scenario the solea would raise your DoT by 3.83%

So technically I would imagine that Puppetry Babouches +1 would be slightly better for TP than Promptitude Solea unless your recieving some outside form of haste (Hi2u merit parties!).

EDIT:Another random tidbit of information: Spurrer Berret > W.Turban (Obviously). The only time when the turban is better is if your not using a puppet that can melee, or if the extra 2% haste from the turban can account for your puppet going from 8% haste to 3% haste (If you TP in Relic hands) and the 1.5% DoT loss from the accuracy, which won't happen untill your hitting around 62-63% haste. Even then the amount of haste you need for the Turban > Berret increases if you cycle wind maneuvers at all (Which you should be doing on a melee puppet in most cases that matter).

EDIT: Changed info about Turban vs Berret

Bolded: A reason to update my old and tired sig!

1/43 on Boompadu finally. Now to move onto Spurrer Beret NM -.- Anyone got any tips on killing this without the use of Hermes' or shall i wait on getting those before attempting? Looks like itll be harder to kill than lolboo. Lastly i think those 2 and lugh cover my "hard" NMs, which leaves hazmat and belladonna, am i missing anymore for pup items?

Kupowers don't work in WotG areas.

EDIT: I'm sorry, the topic had shifted to Spurrer's Beret, and I forgot I was still in the Promptitude Solea thread...

Sorry for the SLIGHT necrobump, but I just got my Promptitude Solea! 1/7

After the first 6 kills (4 on PUP, last 3 on THF) I had a small hunch....IF you're able to interrupt all of Hazmat's attempts to cast Flare on you, then the chance of drop is much higher (kind of like Unstable Cluster for Soboro Sukehiro). Unfortunately, the 7th fight Hazmat got Flare off right away. But I then thought of getting Hazmat down to a sliver of health, Sneak Attack + Hide and let Hazmat de-aggro. It worked! Hazmat de-aggro'd, I ran around, jabbed him, and DROP! Screenshot below
