Monster Drops

Re: Monster Drops

I'm pretty sure that's NOT correct.

By adverages, I know that drops were significantly better with 2 thfs farming, as oppose to 1.

While this can be attributed to having more people, More treasure hunters can't hurt imo.

Thanks to ffxi parser it makes things a lot easier to test these things. After all any computer programer knows that there is nothing truly random in computers, only "random-like"

edit:
Most thfs say that the thf actually has to hit the enemy to benifit from treasure hunter trait...so not sure if just having an afk thf4 around helps.

Another taboo is to never use WS or SC to kill a monster. Maybe true, maybe false, but you might get slapped by thfs if you tried to do that on important drops.

2 thfs = more kills per hour, thus you could assume it is T.H thats doing the work. but actually its not. an while it is correct the more T.H will not hurt. it will do little to no good.

i have yet to see any substantial proof that a thf/nin, will do better against a nin/thf in drops. an its my opinion that it was made up by the thf community to make them feel bigger, an badder then anyone else. an as of yet i never had an ls mate tell us to not get the final hit, or kill us if we did a WS.

i still believe that the game is based on a set number of squares, an all t.h does is eliminate some of the empty spaces.

Re: Monster Drops

i found crawler drops about the same silk at all levels : / saruta is even faster than the nest because i can kill many with rng/thf or thf/rng. only problem is they are pretty far apart and many ppl also farm there. shakrami however is horrible for silk...

Me2 - although after the last update I seem to have been getting more silk threads and esp. crawler cocoons when killing Crawlers outside windurst as a high lvl blm.

Although this might just have been the monphase, cause normally I 2 used to get bad drop rates at this as high lvl blm but a decent drop rate as lvl 10 mage.
