Anyway, on to why I'm posting. Voyager Sallet, I've been wanting one for the longest time, since before it was even put into the AK database I had been seeking it out and trying to get people I know to help me get it once I finally got Riverne A01 access.
It's a fly type mob, that spawns 10 at a time in an island in Riverne A01. The drop rate on the Sallet is about 10% if I'm not mistaken, and each fly has a chance of dropping it, so statistically, at least one should drop.
It's a 24 hour spawn if I'm not mistaken, but its very rarely camped due to the difficulty, so odds are when we were to get there, they will be up.
It drops three items that may interest others. All the flies drop the Dobson Bandana, they also have a chance to drop the Jaeger Ring, and of course, the Voyager Sallet.
All I really want is the Sallet, a Ring would be nice eventually, but considering the circumstances, I would gladly just take the lovely Sallet over all else.
--------------------------------------
Strategy for killing the mobs seems simple enough. The one I'd heard that gets things done the quickest, seems to be to have a PLD round up all the flies in one relative area and use Invincible, then have a couple SMNs 2 hour them to death. That one seems the easiest.
One problem with that would be the bomb clusters that are in the area, slap them with a Diamond Dust and we'll have issues that's for sure, so they'd need to be killed first.
There are other ways of doing this, one includes having a BRD sleep them all and we pick them off one by one.
Oh I almost forgot... in case you don't know, you can't just kill one without pissing off the others. They link no matter how far away you are. So once you touch one of the flies, the rest come after you.
--------------------------------------
Anyway, I'd really appreciate some help on this, and there really are other drops that you may benefit from, but this... this is something I really really want.

Reply to this thread and we can set up a time to try this if enough people are willing to help. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and consider it. You need to have Access to Riverne A01 to take part((PM 2-5 or above)).
peace,
