About that turtle...

[Protey]

I would just get the egg from the KS99 its like 50% drop rate or so and its really easy too.

this is so untrue. I've killed KSNM99 turtle about 25 times and have seen only one egg drop. Yes, it is random, but 50% is waaaaay off.

Yes, ksnm99 turtle is easy. all you need is a mnk tank and say a sam to make darkness, a few blm, a whm, a brd and/or cor, and a rdm for a 2nd curer just in case. With this many people (7-8) it is really easy. It can be done with less than a full party though.

I got tired of soloing adamantoise and spamming ksnm99 since i never got an egg (the one went to someone else) and just bought it off a LS for 2 mil that killed Aspid. Either way... do what you have to do. Farming gil and buying it will probably be the least amount of time spent for all options.

that's like a crafter who goes 1/10 on a tier 2 synth and says "well clearly tier 2 is only 10% HQ rate."

you had bad luck, i promise. the last time my ls a round of ksnm99s for our newer mnks, we went 4/5 on eggs, 3/4 on tongues. i know we didn't get a ton of beards, but not anywhere near low enough for me to think we had anything more than a run of lousy luck on wyrm.
