Ksnm30/40

[Draco Dagon]

I finally managed enough Kindred Seals, and am wanting to do a KSNM30 or KSNM40 (whatever one has the best item drops at the best rate). Anyone know anyone on Fairy willing to help, or some general information?

I really like KSNM Copy Cat

I used to do the Scorps one, but I think this one has better drops. (It seems on Desert
swarm you either get good drops or bad drops, nothing in the middle, where in Copy
Cat the you can get better drops more regularly. This is just my opinion based on
my experiences with both)

I recently did this with 6 people. Everyone brought and orb and we agreed to sell
all drops and split evenly between everyone. Our drops weren't great but still made
around 1 mil each. If a d.cloth or d.ingot had dropped it would pushed that amount
up considerably. Fuma Sune-ate dropped on a majority of the runs, so depending
on what those go for on your server, this KSNM could be pretty profitable.
A while, I did this with a group as a 'your orb, your drops' and got really lucky.
Damascus Ingot + Orichalcum Ingot + Fuma Sune-ate and some other stuff dropped.
This during the Christmas inflation so I sold everything and made about 13 mil :thumbsup:
Obviously prices on things have changed, but I suppose my point is that there are
some good drops.

Also, several nice rare/ex weapons drop from this: Coffinmaker, Destroyers, etc...

I think to win (at least for my group) having at least 2 people to stun is key. If you can
keep the Ahriman from casting its Ancient Magic and -ga it is a pretty easy fight.
The only problem we had was when the Ahriman 'copied' Benediction from our Whm,
but we just hung in there and won that time too.

If you are interested in doing this and want more details about my groups set up/strat
then just let me know.

edit: sorry I didn't see your level in your sig. This fight is uncapped, so I am not sure I
would do it at level 65.
