The slug looks dirt cheap, and once you farm the Ruszor meat, it will be cheap.
I can't see these jugs being more then 20k a stack, slug maybe under 10k

They don't believe in making it easy for BST.
Ruszor's meat is not the easiest to get (even with an increased drop rate) and will be heavily farmed. Just look at lesser chigoe's, not hard to get but still a pain and prices remained very high.
Imperial flour is available from NPC, but not always available and its not stackable so not easy to hoard it. The price I guess will depend on how many are made each synth and how easy it is to HQ.
Ruszor are much easier to farm on bst than other jobs.
I've been killing them the last few days for my mab swords on blu. They can surprise you and eat you.
On bst I don't have worry about that at all. Just kill, kill, kill.....

Ruszors still hit like a freight train at 90, and I'll bet that'll still be the case at 95. It's funny how S-E went to this well again after the last debacle with Pet Food Eta. It would have helped to put some Ruszors in Abyssea-Vunkerl if they really wanted us to farm the meat in earnest.

Tried farming Ruszor meat today, drop rate I got was 23 meat in 34 kills using Dipper Yuly, using another pet the rate dropped drastically to 2/13 (maybe just unlucky with other pet, but gave up after going 9 in a row without drop)

If you've gotten at least to level 93, then you will always have th3 on dipper now. Yes, treasure hunter DOES make a difference.
and they did say they increased the drop rate anyway.

They deliberately made the drop rate higher on the meat, its in update notes.
That said, the newness still has them both above 60k on Lakshmi.
Preliminary testing is depressing too; rabbit outlived and outdamaged Tiger lol

Idk. I went out on thf the last night to solo Ruszor, not exactly as easy as I was expecting, but still soloable. Went 3/3 on meat. Honestly I was planning on being lazy and buying it, but oddly nobody was farming it. AH was as devoid of meat as it had ever been.

Not necessarily on the meat, that higher drop rate was more about the fangs for ranger arrows. They stated they were increasing the drop rate on arrow materials since no one crafts arrows.

This is the best part, right here.

Is the slug our best choice now? Is that the consensus?
Also any word if the other jugs capped at 90 therefore beast affinity actually of use?

... i see no one has paid attention to the testing that was done by bsts on the test server.
clyvonne caps at 90
Julio caps at 93
no other caps were confirmed after this update.
Currently slug is cheap to make and will always spawn at level 95. The tp moves are very powerful and it tanks well.
However it does have lower attack than other pets. (corrosive ooze helps alleviate this).
There is no consensus yet.

i dunno what u guys tiger did for dmg, but in la theine party on worms, lucky average about 350 critical.... tiger went everything from 470-530 critical in the same party. normal attacks and criticals outdid rabitt by a fair bit.
The slug attacked alot weaker then tiger, but has a nice slow effect on attacks and some interesting tp moves like total HP reduction.
used apoc rr and ss.

Rabbit will crit just as high in a visions zone w/ that atma setup. Shucks in a visions zone, on something Like a worm... I'm surprised you aren't seeing higher crits in visions.
w/ broncha, in visions zone, I've had crits over 650.

I still haven't had the chance to personally parse tiger vs rabbit. But as far as I'm concerned, Gerard seems to have done to Nazuna what Nazuna did to Carrie.

Actually i think i know why the crits might have been off. i didnt think of it earlier. ill have to recheck.
- went to kons to up my clear demilune abyssite to test a bit. highest critical on tiger right now are 667 dmg. lowest landed about 570+. i havent tested rabit yet, but ill do some test after ive done abyssite ^^

That is more in line w/ what I would expect to see. Especially w/ the higher level pets. My tests were from level 90.
