Farming Question...

[Remmikkg]

So, I was farming today in Saromaunge Champine (sp) killing Skink after Skink after Skink after Skink and was getting nowhere fast. After killing about 50 or so Skinks with no drop I finaly gave up. I mentioned something to my LS on the way back to Jeuno about the crappy drop rate, and one of them said, "Well, Saromaunge drop rate sucks anyway... and it's practily a new moon." (At the time it was 7%)

I asked him if that really matters? He said yes...
New Moon = Bad
Full Moon = Good

I was just wondering if this is true? Does the Moon Faze acutally help or hinder Farming?

I never noticed a difference in drop rates while farming, but I was eyeballing it every time. I wouldn't say that it's impossible that moon phase effects drop rates, but I think it's unlikely.
