Salvage For Alexandrite Farming

That's all bhaflau, I said do silver sea! Anyways, the spikes break from any type of magic damage including en-effects, spikes, skillchains, nukes.

The ramparts are all luck. I've heard all sorts of stories like moon phase or game day or killing extra mobs before entering makes it spawn more often, but pretty much luck.

It is usually prudent to kill off the rampart at no less than 50% remaining if no NM has spawned if you want to do other floors and still have time to farm and do the boss (especially if wind weather will hinder you on 4th floor).

Also if a NM happens to pop you should stay until 0% because 99% of the time at least 2 will pop and I have seen up to 8.

Use this guide and neither of those things will be problems:

The guide claims 4 cotton pouches drop, I see the ones for floors 1,2,4 but so im guessing the 4th one is on floor 3, is it gyroscopic gears and the 0% is just a typo? if so how exactly is he popped. killing every gear on the floor?

does dakka and single gyroscopic gear drop purse?

actually the 2x gyro gear NM drops a purse but not 100% drop rate, on a side note i'll pop on a screenshot next time that dam thing drops a alex pouch, as it can drop up to 2 single pieces of alex also from it also

enter, go west. kill 6 fomor pop NM=> purse.

port, go SE, kill all the fomor pop nm-> purse

port, go NE, kill all the gear pop nm-> purse

port, go north, kill all the ramparts, pop rampart, let it spawn nm -> purse.

i'm not sure what's so confusing on the wiki sites, granted i havent read them myself since ive memorized the zone, but its been recommended twice.

Wheres that mythic yo!
