if you want to understand why you don't get a matter 2/3 of the time you do limbus, this is why. whether or not it bothers you or changes what content you do is up to you. Not sure if that was directed at me, but so far this week I'm:
1/6 Apy
1/12 Teme
I wish I was getting a matter 2/3 of the time, let alone 1/3 of the time. |

SA was 15, TA was 30, still thf was pretty much the go to for DD 30-60, once you could TA /thf things got fun for everyone. Still have fond memories of SA and TA on imps with Spinning slash, SA SS would usually one shot them with SC, TA SS would plant them on the tank.
Good times.

The old HTMB was high given nowadays standard, I think we can all admit that.
It made sense back then because they were being released regularly, there were a lot of them, a lot of content to do.
Given the amount of "fresh" stuff to do and frequency of updates, it made sense to have a droprate like that.
A lot of people couldn't even do VD on many of those fights, some were really nasty.
The "new" HTMB are just a few, and they were added one at a time, in a scenario where there wasn't really a LOT of content to do.
With the old drop rate they wouldn't have lasted enough, let's be honest about it.
I still think Lilith was a bit off, drop rate was somewhat low even on VD, the fight itself was complicated (unless you had multibox mules and could cheese it with zerg) and the huge amount of items made the already not ideal droprate on VD even worse.
It wasn't as bad as Shinryu, but it was bad.
Last but not least, the Malignance gear is VITAL in nowadays' meta, so I'm really happy they did something about it.
I think Odin, Caith Sith and Alexander are fine honestly.
Shinryu is, if anything, in an even worse position than Lilith.
Fight is easier but it takes 30 merits instead of 10 and the drop rate is SO insanely worse, beyond reason.
Shinryu though doesn't have any "vital" items in the current meta.
They're all pretty good, but none is "vital".
An adjustment like the one they did for Lilith's BC is unnecessary.
Making so the droprate is not as bad as it currently is though is kinda... due, if you ask me. At least that!

I don't remember anyone doing sc mb in the dunes
Depended on the party setup as many weapons didnt really have a good SC to make with the starting WS available iirc, if you had the right combo though it was generally worth doing.
Honestly having acid bolts was probably more important in that area, since you'll eventually hit jagils or crabs and that could slow your kills down quite a bit. |

Carbuncle.Yiazmaat said: »Hello, i would like to know if this is possible to remove all the bars, but just keep the target bar on.
I tried to set them to false in the bars.lua but it do not change anything. Also i dont seem to find any command through the help menu. Short answer: You'll want to change those settings in the data/settings.xml file instead.
Longer answer: What's in the Bars.lua file are the default values that get loaded when the settings.xml file is first created, so if you change them after you've already loaded the addon and the settings.xml file has been created, changing those values inside the Bars.lua won't affect your in-game settings (unless you delete your settings.xml file and reload). |

We went 1/6 on easy the other night to get our buddy his last piece. Sure, Lilith sucked before, but I think the malignance box has fixed the problem. It's fair now.

there was nothing wrong with making D+ guarantee a drop like the original HTMB fights did. just give people a reason to keep doing it (REM tales, beitetsu, etc.) and they will. it was even a measure of true difficulty before they were old enough that everyone outgeared everything.
pretty telling that people are quick to defend such a shitty system. perfect example of not respecting your time, btw.
Have you actually full cleared D/VD with all adds? Pretty sure someone did and had very high drop rate. Also Malignance armor was (still is, but when it came out it stood out a lot) far better than anything in any HTMB before, so its not a fair comparison anyway. |

s the JP called it, Fuidama. You'd have someone pull something with a ranged attack and line the tank up behind the mob and the thief up behind the tank so you would both transfer the enmity and make the numbers bigger. I still remember exp parties on bats in garliage citadel from those early days. It's the biggest reason I played and took up thief back in the 75 era. It made experience parties fun.
That enmity boost on pull was really helpful for NIN in early parts of the fight IIRC. |

Drop rate is not that bad. The gear is that good.

Malignance is the slow but easy route to being strong.
If you don't want to repeat easy / rare content, most jobs can get passable gear out of sortie or odyssey. It's harder, that's kind of the point.
100% agree, i’ll be sticking to farming sortie gear until drop rate is addressed. Lilith ain’t paying my bills, mortgage, or giving me any pussy for me to give her so much time.
Until drop rates are on the level of Null gear these are just luxury upgrades. |

First malignance was like after 3 kills, second after 20, third after 60, 4th after 100+, then the last one took like another 200. Not having to deal with duplicates is HUGE. I was 4/5, 4/5, 3/5 3/5 on 4 chars before I got first 5/5.

Quote: Nobody is farming malignance as catch up gear if it's this fkin rare.
I apologize if this may come off as slightly rough around the edges, but just suck it up and deal with it! The drop rates for malignance are not that bad. Most of us here farmed our malignance long ago and did it with the old system where duplicates just got deleted if you're solo. If you want to make yourself better you do what needs to be done. If you don't want to put in the effort it takes to get what is considered mandatory and baseline equipment, when you can no longer lose out on pieces because they updated the system so duplicates aren't an issue anymore then you only have yourself to blame if people exclude you from content because you're lacking essentials for your job.
Malignance is mandatory for every job that can equip it. Plain and simple. If you aren't willing to put in the time to better yourself then why even bother playing the game? |

Quote: You can probably farm all the alex U need from salvage to complete a mythic weapon before you can get 5/5 malignance from farming E or below with TH4.
It's Kraken Club rarity, esp. since it's fighting with trash gear for the loot pool.
The update didn't really help the already ***drop rate.
I'm sorry, but no. It's not nearly that bad. I farmed up in arms off and on for a good decade before I finally got my kraken club from the box. It took me about two months when malignance was brand new to get the set of 5/5 from lillith, and I farmed it on very easy on thief with TH 8. It took me a good 400 - 450 kills to get my malignance, and I'm sure some of the no drops were because I was solo so I couldn't see duplicates of some of the pieces. This was back when the lines to enter the bcnm were 25 - 30 minutes regularly, so I'd queue up and then watch something on youtube while I waited to enter. The amount of up in arms I did over the time span it took me to get it was probably double what I spent on malignance, and I only got one drop there.
Nothing is kraken club rarity. There is a reason it sells for max gil nowadays.
Still takes less than 300 runs of salvage to make a mythic. Better than farming lilith because you have something to show for it. Nobody is farming malignance as catch up gear if it's this fkin rare. |

Maybe you'll have to trade stuff that drops from the bc! The cosmetic sword as a trade in item is expected. The rest will probably come from various places, possibly including some crafted item, if previous trades are any indicator. |

Presumably shield will be next months reward. Still I'll go get the sword in case its inconsistent wording actually does something unexpected.

This whole trade random ***system they've cooked up is in a word; Gross
This one is strange because they said they added the system to allow people to acquire hard to get items that they missed out on in the past. So you weren't around for an event, or you didn't buy a physical good with a code for an in game item, that sort of thing.
But this is a completely new item. Why use that system for it? |
