Shinryu Yellow Procs

would it be too much to ask the devs if they can add any random +2 items to shinryus drop list, noone ever goes in to procs yellow because it doesnt really have anything of use, i think if it dropped a few +2 items of ANY kind for procing yellow would give me reason to go back to fighting it as i already have every weapon/gear from him so far

Pointless. If you have the gear from shinryu, what's the point in paying 10k cruor entrance for a chance at a completely random +2, which you could already be capped on? Why don't you just go to a normal abyssea zone and farm the normal NM, where at least you know he'll drop the right materials and not completely useless ones for you.

Just make rainbow guarantee one of the armor to drop. There, problem solved.

yea but if im goin to help someone out and i have everything anyway, ill be paying that 10k cruor for...?

just asking for them to add some reason to proc grellow, unless you find Lynx meat, Zircon etc worth hittin grellow for

Hitting yellow for a random chance at 1(or 2) of 20 +2 items...not worth it.

bad idea , and to answer why you would spend 10k crour to help a friend.... i dont know it might be bolded

For helping them. You could always not go and not help them.

Any questions?

So exactly why are people against adding +2 drops to Shinryu? So far the excuses or lack there of I'm seeing do not justify NOT adding them. Just sayin'.

Tired of loot pools being mucked up with crap drops?

Yes, +2 items you can't choose and fall randomly are crap drops. The same as logs, ores, Abyssea spells, skins, and thread.

So you proc yellow, you have a CHANCE at getting two +2 items...theres a pool of 20. The likelyhood you get the one you're after is pretty low. Atleast you can npc that petrified log for 2k, all you can do with that stone of balance is drop it.

Make him drop heavy metal plates, devious die, and silver mirrors instead! More lines at the BC will make you go "What's up with this Shinryu?".

Waste of dev team time for something that isn't worth it.

Add in a "universal" +2 item that you can trade to, say, Joachim for the +2 item of your choice. Have Shinryu drop those. Problem with "useless" drops solved.

They should have had +2s in the loot pool and not had ANY of the junk drops he has. Wouldn't make it a viable way of upgrading, but I'll take random stones, jewels, etc over apkallu eggs and wood.

It's all part of the ongoing poop joke.

Replacing the useless npc items with +2 upgrades, Heavy Metal Plates, and D. Die will peak My intrest. Especially, if they give a 505/50 Chance of one or two of them falling per run; in addition to increasing the rate of Twilight Gear. If this is put into to effecf thay may have to reduce the 200k Primeval Brew (for Shinryu BC only) to 100k. This way Gamers can spam this event without breaking thier cruor account.

Instead of having him drop random +2 items, it could be an item that is traded in for a +2 item of your choice. Trading one of the items could be used to select a +2 upgrade item for Head, Hands, Legs or Feet; and trading two of the items could be used to select a +2 upgrade item for Body.

In the process of adding +2s, ban temp items from the fight while yer at it.


That'll make the tears roll.

Theres nothing wrong with adding +2, but honestly Shin is just for the twilight drops and in my opinion this should be enough reward for fighting him. You get a kick-butt atma from him, completetion of abyssea storyline which provides 200k brews, and if you go after you've acquired the gear and atma then it's just to help others and costs 10k cruor to do so. Perhaps it's just too easy as it stands now and +2 shouldn't rain from the sky any more than it already does.

the thing that bothers me is that 90% of the time, people just want monks and whms with blue procs for the fight, and whms and monks don't really need the rare gear.

Agreed.
I would like to see something added to Shinryu's loot pool tho.

I thought Shin yellow dropped more synth.

Which is why you're always seeing Shin shout groups always looking for them...., it's a catch-22 situation.

Easier to rely on one mnk who knows how to trigger on Shin than to bring 3-4 people to cover Slashing/Piercing triggers, and knowing the playerbase, they only go for the easiest option that guarantees success.


I should finish MNK on my main and 2box Shin, would be some easy gil mercing out myself for triggering.

I second this, I couldn't see spamming shinryu for the drops, but it would be a nice bonus to get a upgrade item or 2 from the fight.

Hmmm, my mule just needs a couple boss wins. I might do that.

How about put the new spells in there for yellow procs so that mages can actually get them.

But there are already more ways to get those spells than there are to get E:Body
