  • BCNM40 or 30 or.. >.x

    Ok well.. I have around 400 seals and I want to do some BCNM'n.

    Basicly I need a few spells.. Erase, Phalanx, Dispel and Refresh.

    I can't find anyone whos willing to play, your orbs, your drops.

    Anything else aside from the 4 spells can go up for lot, or can get sold and have the profit split between the PT.

    I have no experiance with seal BCNMs.. so im not sure which location has the best drop rate.. or what strategy is used, so.. it would be nice to have some people with experance join in.

    So... anyone willing?

    Also if you have an orb/seals you want to use we can take turns with drops or sumin..

    That's because the "your orb your drops" rule is incredibly unfair. I've only seen it once and that was in an all-BST BC battle.

    What our LS does is, basically everyone lots on every item (unless someone can't do their job without X spell or Y item), sells them all off, and splits the profits among 6. This way each person will end up with 5 sets of gil in their delivery box after a couple of days (depending on what items dropped, some take longer to sell than others).

    BC40 in giddeus is really easy if you have a good setup, however the highest drop is probably erase (last i checked was ~350k on rag), next highest is phalanx (last i check which was months ago, it was about ~110k).

    BC60s can drop the various torques as far as i know, and the newer ones can drop RSE 2 pieces as well, i think this is where most of the people get a lot of cash quickly.

    one of the BC50s (the one with the 3 chests) can be done solo but you only have a 1/3 chance of winning, and for the most part the drops suck complete ass.

    If you are going to do a run of BC's, do it with friends or people you trust. You cannot rely on random people being fair, however it will usually show pretty quickly if they're gonna be assholes (common tactic is to switch to quartermaster right after exiting the BC so they get all the drops).

      Ive heard of alot of people play your orb, your drop before.

      And im not taking everything that will drop, only those 4 spells.. and im not selling them, im using them, if anyones concerned with that...

      For the rest of the PT its free money anyway, im sure not all 4 spells will drop in one fight and thats all that drops, and those extra items like I said can be sold for profit to split between the PT.

        Refresh costs like 3k or less.

          I don't know anyone who does the your seal your drop method either. I did it the same as Fuzzbox.

          Utsusemi: Ni scroll also drops in BCNM40, which is worth around 170k.

          All 4 scrolls can not drop together, I think there are certain items you can get, and each one is in a pool of its own. ie you get 1 random scroll/1 randome rock, etc, or somthing close to that effect.

                I also always share profits and always do them with people I trust and consider friends.

                I don't recommend doing BC30 for an Erase drop... I've done it 9 times now and never seen it drop.

                You might be better off using BC to make the money to buy those spells, if you don't have enough charitable friends willing to give up a 300K+ Erase. You'll be surprised how profitable they are.^^
                There will be cake.

                  Do "The worm's turn" in Balga's Dais. It's a blm & rng dream BCNM. Also has the same drops as the stupid mandy one.

                      The only reason people dont like your orb your loot is because they are afraid of not gaining anything out of it. The last time I did it, we went 6x 'Your orb your loot' method and no one got a shitty drop. In fact the only BAD bcnm's iv had are with people who use the share method...

                      I always go 'your orb your loot' method, because I go with people mature enough to deal with a shitty drop.

                        Sharing pool is stupid as hell, you mine as well go farming. Your orb = your loot is the way to go. That's how all my BCs go.

                        And yes, "The Worm's Turn" is stupidly easy, you can't lose as one as one BLM has Sleepga. That and it takes less time than Mando, and doesn't require Yagudo drinks. I'm never doing Mando one again...

                          Yupyupyup.

                          You're a BLM, don't think about any other BCNM except for The worms Turn. No lie, if BNCM40 didn't have a time limit, you could probably solo it.

                          I was actually going to set up one soon, so if you're interested, let me know.

                          Your orb = Your loot. Be a man, take a risk :D

                          BTW, last time we did it, Erase and Ni dropped both 3 times in a row.

                              BCNM 40 isn't worth the seals, imo. You're better off with 30 or 60.
