As I understand it the rate for finding the plundered gear in a chest has been lowered... but do you need to do the Call of Booty quest first? Been hunting for a while and still no luck.

No, I was able to find that gear without that quest. You should be fine, though, I've never heard anything about the Plundered Gear drop rate being "lowered."

It was the hotfix they did today. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post374565
But thank you! Looks like I just have to keep trying. -

ah damn! yeah the chests were giving about 1-1.5k gil so it was quite easy to make a few thousand gil there. probably lowered it to about 70 gil a chest, knowing SE. I'll have to go find out.

10-07-2011, 10:25 AMOscillate_WildlyCould have sworn that hat fell out of a chest though it's possible it was a tarred leather belt. useless or not you still get a ton of crap from that dungeon.Quote:

Has anyone actually gotten anything out of the chests post-hotfix that hasn't done the quest?
And yes, hat is NM drop. -

Why do people want plundered? (I got 2 of it in 10 minutes earlier after nerf, not much of a nerf :P) I have vendored in all 22 plundered items from my runs there, and it will grow xD are plundered gear used for some quest or something maybe?

Why are you vendoring plundered gear? About half of the drops from chests and NMs in Shopshae are very nice for levels 15-20, and better overall than any materia-less crafted gear at that level. If you don't want it, bazaar it, help out new or lowbie levelers.
