Raider's Poulaines?

Hey guys,

i know this has come up before, but I just came back to the game after about 2 years, and figured I might as well ask again.

What's the deal with the feet drop in Abyssea-Attohwa? I was there for about 6 hours last night, and I got zero thief feet drops..I got about 6 feet drop total, just none thief.

Is there a certain way to optimize feet drops or something? I read that they supposedly raised the drop rate for them..but I didn't really notice. Maybe I'm just really unlucky...but it was ridiculous!

Raise your Amber lights, and try to mass kill. I see lots of wasted feet drops during my FC runs.

just dont raise your amber too high or you will get mostly temps or ki, need to find the middle ground for amber

As bad as it sounds, there have been quite a few worse. Some people have spent days farming for several hours each. Sadly, this is normal.

120-150ish seems optimal.

Yes and the feet acquisition has been a major complaint since they were introduced. SE just wont change the system.

For alot of jobs its fine since the feet are already outdated and useless but for jobs like thf where that extra th is needed it can really be a burden when you have to spend hours farming the base feet then more time farming the same amount of seals and +2 items as the other easily aquired pieces.

Another needless time sync

depends how many of the KIs you have that affect gold chest rates. I tend to go for 60-90

And my the feet took me nearly 2 months of farming on and off. I found war was by far the most popular drop.

Ugh shame you werent on shiva.. Just got a pair, 1st chest no amber ):

The KI in your inventory have influence on the chests? Where did you read this? Link to test would be nice.

With all the gold box farming Ive done for gil drops and KI over the past couple years, never have I noticed the amount of KI I have in my inventory affecting whats in the boxes.

Sure.. its called Murphy's/Sod's law -> The rate at which the KI's appear is directly related to how badly you need it. The more you need that one certain KI, the more likely it is that KI wont appear!

He's referring to the 3 Abyssites of Destiny, which provide "greater fortune with golden treasure caskets".

The Abyssites of destiny only give more Amber light per kill, they don't do anything else.

That being said, it hastens the speed at which you can begin really farming mobs, rather than aiming for Aeolian Edge for kills. Not required for farming purposes though.

My original server was Shiva! I had some friends on valefor, so i switched :/ it's pretty nice though!

Thanks for all the input guys! I finally got my drop after a lonnng time farming! I was kinda mad though, right after i got my drop, 3 more thf dropped. Figures, right?
