Salvage and Alexandrite

[Shadowsong]

It's quite easy to average 100+ a run (counting Linens of course, by why would you not?)
Not going to post my numbers because this should be common sense stuff by now, so if you don't believe it, O well?

And is PChan talking about doing something after it's been outleveled? All of your Empyrean weapons say hi! (and I do feel bad for your poor poor full Usukane)

It's funny that you are only doing salvage now that we are 99, but no, linen pouches are not 50% droprate, they basically never drop. There is a reason alex are not farmable even now with the 6 entry requirement. For instance killing the powderdek room for 7 alex out of a pouch doesn't seem good for time/alex and generally speaking farming alex is a waste. Enjoy your 50 alex runs cause you will get a lot of that.

Isn't your ban from BG almost up? I'm pretty sure you've been dying to post there again with these fake numbers.

I have been doing Salvage for two months with TH2 now on DNC/THF and I'm at ~25% on pouches. I do this SSR run:
* Gather the floor 1 Fomor and kill with Aeolian Edge -> Kill Hammerblow
* Eat food and single target kill the second floor Fomor/Imps -> Kill Powderkeg
* Kill the four gears in the south room -> Open the door and flee to pull all the gears in the west room (before Reinforcements spawn) -> Pull and kill all gears in GG3's room -> GG3 -> Exit Rampart
* Pull the Chariot and however many gears come with him on floor 4, kill them, kill the train, kill the rest of the gears/ramparts in the room -> Kill Turtle -> Kill Turtle's Rampart
* Kill boss

This run takes me about 80 minutes and I get about 75 Alexandrite without a Linen, so over 90 with a 25% Linen drop average. On one hand, 90 Alexandrite! On the other hand, that's 0.3% of a Mythic and took 80 minutes. That means you'd have to do 18.5 days of Salvage for 30,000 Alexandrite, or almost a year of runs.

Fight things without TH, complain about drop rates.

1) pouch don't depend on TH
2) sub thf ¿

Also it is funny that Byrth is ending with with 90 and the other morons easily with 100+ per run haha.

So you're going to enter the area, then exit before finishing? SMARTTT

Yes... Why would I spend 100 minutes farming shit that will maybe drop 1-3 coins ? Most resale mules in LJ do it for 15k, I mean, even if you did 100 alex a run it's only 1.5M in 100 minutes...

If you don't want to "waste" your time killing the single/triple gears, why do you even talk about how many Alex per run is the average? Gears can drop up to three Alexandrite, even though it is rare. They do however drop singles a lot of the time, and they die in no more than a WS or a few hits. I'm not sure how that is a waste of time.

I admit I made the 100 in the OP up, because I don't record the Alex I get, but without a Linen purse I get over 70 almost every time, and with a Linen far more than 100 every time(this is in SSR with a THF, farming for Alex). You can still get 100 without a Linen, so saying 100 average is not wrong by any means.

Either way, would be nice to actually get some input on the idea in the OP instead of Pchan saying we would soon see a video of him only getting 20 Alexandrite in SSR.

The highest I have gotten without a linen is 94. Also, gears can drop up to 4 Alexandrite. I have only seen it once, but it was a single gear.

Gears can drop up to 4 pieces of alex actually.Also to everyone else in this thread.

SSR (which I spam every day) averages 70-85 pieces of alex,excluding linen.This includes Hammerblow (cotton purse),Powderkeg (not powerdeck,whoever said that) which is also cotton.The gears need to pop,and of course GGx3 (cotton) and the entire 4th floors.Every gear,rampart,train and CC (cotton) then onto killing the boss,which has around a 20% chance for a linen (my average numbers with TH7+). Now excluding a linen because it doesnt drop more than it does,the average comes out around 70-85.

There is a reason alex are not farmable even now with the 6 entry requirement.

The entry minimum is 3, you either clearly can't read updates that were announced a long ass time ago or you just don't care to review material that you no longer see viable to your time in ffxi.

When I do a salvage run, I more often exit 75-90 without the boss purse.
