Spiritbond Rate

I haven't seen anyone post a decent comparison of pre and post patch rates, so here's what I've seen:

Syrcus Tower, ilvl90 HQ gear +2 materia
before ~8% per full run
after ~22% per full run

It's now viable to actually bond the ilvl90 gear now

Update, had another ST run where the tank rounded up stuff better for AoE, got 30% out of the run, almost 4x as much as before. Did an expert roulette just to see how much that got me, before it was ~4%, this one gave me 29%. That's right, 4 expert dungeons to fully SB ilvl90 gear (HQ with 2 melds)

Yeahhhhhh I've found the spiritbond rate to be insanely high when fighting things wearing level-appropriate gear. I went through 3 sets of equipment (none of it melded, all of it HQ) today in 2 levels on my monk, just doing fates in Coerthas and Northern Thanalan. It's pretty nuts how fast I'm spiritbonding this stuff. @_@

Was this done with SB potion as well?

No, SB potion would up it to 33% or so, it's a small boost.

(skip the initial whining, there's a lot of useful info mid thread)

1 pt of Spiritbond Gain increases the speed by 0.3%

a pot only gives 1% increased speed and isnt worth using at all

all these meteor rings are useless aswell
