So how have your Martial/Koenig drops been recently?
See topic.

/entering rant mode

Ours have been rather crappy recently. :mad:

(Over the past few months, not sure on exact numbers):

Nidhogg: 2/15+
Aspidochelone: 0/10+
King Behemoth: 1/8+
Seiyru: 0/99999999999999 (Never gotten the helm in our LS.. ever. Meh, Aegishjalmr is better IMO anyways, but it's the principle of the thing. )
Genbu: 4/25+

The most common seems to be the hands from Genbu followed by the legs from KB. Everything else just seems nonexistent. We have gotten 6... SIX... Crimson bodies from Aspidochelone over the past few weeks (multiple drops at the same time). Crimson Bodies have become free lot in our LS cause our RDMs have them. :sweat:

I dunno why SE made the drop rates so low on PLD's gear. I mean, the Aquarian/Zenith gear is supposedly rare on our server, but 2 of our mages have full Zenith abjs (one of them has them all equipped, another doesn't have the money to make them all lol). Heck, even one of our BLMs has almost full Zenith made just for the hell of it.

And on most of the fights, we have had Treasure Hunter 3 (THF + Thief Knife). We have gotten 3 Defending Rings on like the past 5-6 King Behemoth's tho. @_@;

So is seeing the "M. abj: anything" as rare on your server as it is on ours?

/slap SE...

I think we're 4/12 on Genbu right here in Hades.

We're 1/6 on Seiryu and 3/12~ on Genbu. 0 Claws though ; ;

Can't complain too much, we've got 3 Shining Cloths, 2 off Suzaku and 1 of Kirin in 2 months time

Edit: Got another Cloth off Suzaku last night

1/7 Nidhogg (9 body total on server)
1/6 Aspid (6-7 boots total on kujata world...)
0/5 King Behemoth (5 legs total on kujata world...)
3/15 Seiryu
5/20+ Genbu

Head and Hands drop rate doesn't really matter that much, even with such a crappy rate you can easily outfit all your paladins in it within 2~ months.

Body/Legs/Feet drop rate is pure ass, 10%~ on a mob that spawns every 6 days on average is fucking weak, no other cursed set requires one drop from each king.

Zenith -> each piece drops from 2 mobs wtf, + 3 available in Tu'lia
Adaman -> 2 in Tu'lia, but one on fafnir which is trivial to get
Crimson, Hecatomb -> 3 available in Tu'lia
Shura -> 4 available in Tu'lia (WTF, though I'll grant this set is pretty lame)

It would be nice to see Koenig boots or Legs moved to Fafnir, is it really necessary for him to drop 2 zenith...?

7/30 on Ridill though! oh wait pld can't use that either...

The only abjuration for us to target is 1 Dalmatica, 1 Crimson Body, and any non-sky Koenig now, everything else is rot, which is a pretty sad testimony that Koenig drop is way too rare.

I noticed on my server Phoenix that koenig body seems to be droping a lot lately. I got Koenig body armor like 3 weeks ago from Nidhogg. I saw this Japanese galka pld got it from the a Nidhog that we lost pull on. I know for a fact another pld got it right after I got mine just 4 days after I was told by another person they killed Nidhogg and it droped then I saw the guy with it. So thats like 3 times it drop in a row. Plus I seen the AH 2 more people not included the ones listed have bought Cursed Cuirass.

I seen lot of hands and helms, doesn't seem to be all that rare, since you can fight the sky NMs many times in 1 run.

:'(

m.hands we're about 4/15-20 on, with one going to waste because the third one dropped while I was only one of two paladins/tanks in my LS.

m.feet 0/2 - Aspid is just hard to get... easy to kill, easy to hold place holder... very popularly camp

m.legs 1/1 - King B dropped this for us first time around.

m.body 0/4 (1/5) - First time we fought nidhogg dropped it down to 20% HP, then got seriously kicked by flail... confusion occured and nidhogg was taken from us (I maintain we had a slim chance of raising and beating him); m.body dropped.

Next 4 times we camped Fafnir/Nidhogg for over a month straight... no M.body.

m.head 1/7 - it's not too great. It's nice to have one in the LS tho.

Would've had the body for one of the PLD in my LS except lost claim to another LS. Not really fair in the sense that this LS like to hold the spawn so it's in a better time for them, steal claims (they've done this at least 3 times), and are generally rude to everyone. Just needed somewhere to vent since we've killed like 17+ Nidhoggs and have only ever gotten 1 body and IRON gets it on their first one.

Meh adaman set still has abjuration that only drop from Nidhogg (body) and King Behemoth (legs), so it isn't much easier to get than koenig. Aspido is less-camped on our server than the other two kings so not as hard to get him, although he doesn't seem to drop koenig boots very often.

Well, we're like 1/15 on Nidhogg and 1/10 on Aspido for koenig drops, so we're not doing too great there either lol.
