Salvage Gear Enhancements

lets hope they have the same abysmal drop rates that made duping popular!
glad to see the devs don't listen.

Doubt it. They'll probably make them a tad higher than NQ Salvage. Voidwatch as it is has Pre-update Salvage drop rates anyway >_>

All i care about is if they made salvage cells stackable or not.
Trying to do this event keeping free space and constantly having to pass/toss cells annoys me to no end.

You should make these adjustments on the live servers as well. Kthx.

No, thanks. We need events that you don't do solo, and we need events that don't take 18+... The problem if that if they make it easily accessible ( solo assault entry, solo salvage entry), there will be no pride getting the gear and the gear will suck. Also I hope synergy level 80 with high level crafting will be required for the new gear.

Original Solo/Salvage should be allowed to go solo. The main reason why is because people already do this via the glitch where you log out as the leader starts the mission. Is there any reason to allow people to do this via exploit and not the other players just because SE thinks Mythics should be totally impossible to make?

For mythic it's dumb to farm alexandrites on your one. It's better to spam marrows and then buy alex on different servers.

[Demon6324236]

Wait, your telling me to change servers to buy an item to make a weapon? What?

[MarkovChain]

Welcome to FFXI ? How do you think most of the myhtic are being done ?

[Demon6324236]

Umm~ I kinda doubt anyone is going to another server every few months to buy them. So far as I remember there is a limit how often you can server hop, like once a month or every 3 months. If you think thats how people make Mythics I think your mistaken... Seeing as so far as I know the person on this server who recently made a Mythic never server hopped he simply had his LS & Friends running Salvage & bought them.

Lol nope, you don't have to server transfer your main char, you just have to send several mules with money on another server and then have them come back. If you have another account you can transfer the alex back as sson as they are bought. Doing this you just have to gather money first and then since there are 15 servers, farm only 2k alex per server : ~40 M per mules. This unless you want to really do 300 salvage runs ? With the server transfer method it cost you 2 transfers + 15 mules for a limited period of time (likely < 1 month) as well as 600M which is only 50 umbral marrows for instance. It's actually more clever to sell the marrows on other servers too.. you'll only need ~ 3 marrows per char. Yes it cost you more than a single char, but no noone can farm a myhtic solo, and noone is going to help you do ALL the alex farming/assault refarming/ token/ampula farming so you *need* to pay extra character anyway~. If salvage entry becomes possible solo, not much will change since you are unlikely to clear the 50 assault solo, or farm ampula etc solo.
