Dev Request: Aquapolis Drops

Dear Dev Team:

Please make certain Aquapolis-exclusive items such as orchestrion scrolls, wool tops, etc obtainable through other means or allow characters to enter without a level/item level sync. This is old content that isn't really run anymore, meaning that some of these items have become prohibitively expensive on the market boards. As supply is likely only to decrease even further, I would like to request that this problem be addressed. Thanks!

I find this a very counter reactive topic so your asking EXCLUSIVE Aquapolis drop to be obtain in different means? I think this countering the word EXCLUSIVE.

No run by anyone? Me and my squad run old maps all the time to get cool stuff to sell on the market boar and get those Minion/music/orchestra role/Housing items.
I don't see a issues here. Want it? Form a squad or buy it from MB.
This week we where ruining good amount of time to get thos 3 material for Atoms minion.
But I would love if we didn't have to syc to old maps.

I guess not all people share the 'Your Map, Your Loot' ideals? If anything, setting up a map party with a mix of Gazelle- and Dragonskin maps might actually increase productivity(if everyone stays, of course).

My group basically just does Gazelle maps. Also, I don't appreciate the attitude Last Fire. Take your flaming elsewhere

This the forum, your posting it for everyone, so you will get my and everyone else opinion like it or not.
Then I believe you need a new group for old maps and your current for new maps.
I'm no even giving you attitude or insulting you so IDK what I did to you lol

I'll reiterate my original post: the drops can be added to other content. SE has COMMONLY done so with stuff in the past: it's exclusive/hard to get for one patch cycle, then they open the flood gates on drops. They did it with minions, coil crafting items, and pretty much every map drop out there with the exception of the 3.4-3.5 era stuff. It doesn't NEED to be exclusive anymore. The new hot items are in the new maps, and their drop rates/availability will be substantially raised once 4.2 hits. If you don't like the request, I can't force you to. Don't expect me to care that you disagree either or that you're somehow going to magically make me think that I'm the one "playing the game incorrectly"

They weren't flaming, at all.

Also, I don't see this happening at all, as it kills off the old content even further. Remember when Coils died down, so they added new exclusive rewards to it to spice it back up again? I can see that happening over the current exclusive rewards being made elsewhere.

I would be fine if they just took the level cap off so I could do them alone ^^;

I think you read it way too much in to it , I never thought your playing the game incorrectly neither will ever tell anyone if did. your sub your way to play this game the simple Unless your Rotation is crap then this would be different topic LOL
I still don't agreed and is fine you disagree with me but asking me to leave because I did is quite a different taste.
But is fine, your good.
I would suggest if you ever think someone giving you bad attitude is best to just ignore them, this way a fight won't start for stupid reason or becouse of troll.

my FC is so small and it's hard to get more than 4 people together for treasure maps, so we still do dragonskin maps and aquapolis, since it's much easier than the... uhm... lvl 70 aquapolis with only 3 or 4 people. and the loot is worth the effort, so for me and my FC it's pretty nice that aquapolis still has expensive loot.

i guess with the new deep dungeon we will get all the aquapolis stuff through the hidden treasures, like we get all these glamour items in palace of the dead.

We still do Aquapolis and the new one every Sunday. Our loot rules is need all regardless of who's map it is. So no I don't think the loot needs fixing in the old one.

This game needs to keep certain things exclusive. I mean, you don't see anyone asking for Allagan Aetherstones to drop outside of Coils now do you? As has been said, form a static to farm Aquapolis if you really want the stuff, and saying you only do Gazelleskin nowadays is either a cop out or you need another static for Dragonskin. You may think this is flaming as well but it isn't, it's the truth.

Please add another way to obtain Wool Top, its way to rare and extremely costly to make the Woolen rug.

You can do aquapolis with 2 people. My EB partner and I have been doing them since 60 cap, and have cleared room 7 several times. That's how we got all the music/trees and wool tops.

You did? Photo proof? You for sure need a tank/heals. Tried this is HW and you would run close time cap and/or healer with go mana dry (and a minotaur drop might wipe you). Now with the direct hit change, and a few other things, people are likely putting out more damage, but I do not think that is enough still.

Basically, I would love to do the old maps un-sync'ed, that way you truly can do them solo/duo. It is hard enough to get people to run old content as is, even if there is a large rng reward, no one likely doing stuff without there max level skills.

I've also completed Aquapolis floor 7 as well with just 2 people. WAR + SCH was our setup (post-SB, but pre-4.1 job buffs). It's not fast, by any means, but it's certainly not difficult. With that said, I didn't take note of the timer upon completion.

Always remember to focus-target the minotaur while you deal with other trash, all the swings/swipes are avoidable. Also if it doesn't spawn in a bad spot, just don't hit him, I'm pretty sure it doesn't aggro; its drops (materia 4/5s) certainly aren't worth wasting your time on these days, if you can avoid him.


With that said, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing these items elsewhere, or having the cap from Aquapolis removed.

I don't have photo proof, no, so take this as it is but my friend and I cleared Aquapolis as a duo, too. Me on AST with shields, her on ninja for dps. Both at 70, though with the sync it shouldn't matter. Granted, this doesn't always work when there are ranged, because I drop - but it is possible.

I've soloed Aquapolis in HW, as SCH, and cleared 3 rooms before getting kicked out due to picking the wrong door. All it required was for me to put my fairy in the middle, while I grabbed aggro on all the mobs and ran in a circle around the outside of the room, throwing Ruin II/Energy Drain/Bio II/Swiftcast Miasma II/Bane at the group. Granted, it took me up to 10 minutes just to clear each room as it was, so even if I'd gotten all the doors right, I would've timed out, but it's already possible to solo Aquapolis, provided you meet the level cap of 180.

For that matter, it's also entirely possible to run Lost Canals with 3 people, all the way down to room 7. Once again, you just need people who are (a) Competent and (b) geared at ilvl 310 or above. I don't know why so many people out there are so insistent on running Gazelleskin maps with a full 8.

if they stay true to their patterns the old aquapolis and probably diadem stuff will be slowly added to newer content.
like added to the drop pools of gazelle/gagana maps, The canals, i'm sure eureka will have something, the new deep dungeon tower thing, etc etc

i mean like especially diadem, even being able to get in there will become next to impossible. It already is close now and it's the source of like 3+ unqiue minions, a mount, and it's the main source for a lot of crafting materials, etc etc
