Salvage~Your OpinionFollow

The drop rates are actually better than Dynamis it's just that each zone has different drops for the level 15 armors. Most people assume that every zone's 15 armor is the same as Bhauflau Remnants. Bhauflau is by and far the easiest to get level 15 armor on simply because it drops off normal mobs. Silver Seas is a little more difficult because the 15 armor shares drops with the 35 on NMs (although the 15 is 100%). I think Arropogo and Zhayolm both have drops off gears on the 4th floors. I could be wrong about that one. All known boss kills have dropped 2 and exactly 2 level 25 armors which is terrific when you consider the drop rates off other bosses and NMs in the game. The 35 armor is the only real problem. Not all of the NMs are known at this time and so it is hard to guage thier drop rates. So far as I see it the only difficult part about getting Salvage gear is the time it takes to aquire all three parts and the extra material costs to upgrade to the finished item.

Since the patch I've pretty much given up on putting salvage together. It's hard enough depending on getting those few rare monks that want to join, getting people to sacrafice AP, and then making everyone understand the importance of Reraise items and Hi-pots and such for the first few floors. Then Square went and added no AP assaults with the chance of fighting just about every NM in the game. If they want people to actually become interested in Salvage they sure aren't showing it. I'll wait they actually adress a few of the issues surrounding Salvage before I try again. That or someone else can try to get the manpower ;) I wrote my issues up in a big long post on the suggestion forum. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will pay attention.

For Reraise I was actually reffering to Scrolls of Instant Reraise and Reraier Potions because equipment is locked at the start. Although reraise gorgets and earings are still equally important. I remeber picking up people for Silver Seas and I told everyone multiple times 'fill your inventory with hi-pots' the only people that did so were me, a rdm, and a monk all of whom had done Salvage before. We only had one magic unlocked + AoE Drown :p. It was pretty ugly for hp. The only way at this point to get enough people (NA at least) for Salvage is to do pickup and Salvage, really, really shouldn't be done pickup because no one pays attention to the person leading the group. Thus I think many people's first impression of Salvage is usually really bad.

So yeah, if you get the people I'll dig up one of the strategies I reasearched and wrote out on my LS's website and we can see how it goes, but until then I'll keep attempting to get my first AF2 drop from Dynamis (it's only been 9 months @ 2 Dynamis a week, I should get something soon right?) because as of this moment I think there's a better chance of that than of a non-LS Salvage run that sees any armor drops, even level 15 in Bhauflau. That's how much of a pain it's been for me to attempt organizing this.

CANIA!!!!!

you know i'm always up for salvage, invite me! -_-

Cania. It was fun yesterday. Thank you^_^

I'm Corporal and still find myself doing that Assault among the most often (along with all the rest of the PSCs). The group is restricted by the lowest ranked member, and we usually bring along at least one person that's still PSC.

Only a handful of my friends are at or around the same rank I am, and almost all of them have their own groups (usually of strictly 3 people, usually of a job that I'm incompatible for anyway, so I'm out) that they run with, so it leaves me out.

do i count as the 6-7 NA for LC +^ :P

Jamann and paragon are LC+ too if iremember

and Seraphyna + chupunchupun Yeruheru if i remember not sure

=P

And me! (I'm a Sergant at the moment)
