New SB limitations - facts

[Waeksyn]

Just tried a Brayflox HM (i55 dungeon) with iLvl 49, 45, 46 and 47 accessories equipped.

SB gain - zero. Even the i49 items. The range seems to be absurdly narrow for the effect of the new changes.

This will likely mean fewer people doing those DF roulettes.

Any other observations to report?

Did Hullbreaker isle with ilvl49 jewelry... 0% SB gain

Maybe because brayflox isn't an ilvl 55 dungeon ?

Brayflox is i70 not i55. Try running Amdapor Keep and Wander's Palace.

Don't know how you get that Brayiflox HM is an i70 dungeon. Look on the DF. The iLvl of the dungeon is 55. Syrcus is 70. The 3 new dungeons (Hulbreaker, TT HM, SV HM) are also 70.

It's written ilvl required to access, not ilvl of the dungeon, the ilvl of the dungeon is the ilvl of the mobs inside and is usually the same as the loots.

The ilv of the gear in chests. Common sense too.

No, it's not. The minimum gear level to enter is i55. That's not the level of the dungeon.

I'm pretty sure the "level" of the dungeon is determined by the gear it drops not the minimum ilvl to get in.
So in the case with Brayflox HM, its actually an i70 dungeon so its obvious why you got nothing.
Try doing Wanderer's Palace, that's the actual i55 dungeon now.

With that in mind the new Expert roulette dungeons are i80
Crystal tower is i80
Syrcus tower is i100
Wanderer Palace/Amdapor are i55
Pharos/Hauke HM i60
Original Coil i90
2nd coil i110

hope that clears it up :P

No. It's different from both the entrance requirement and the loot drops. I mean if you read the patch notes, they even lump Pharos in with CT.

since i am stuck in atma book hell i haven't done a single DF due to the specific dungeons required (and i am sure i'm not the only one). It sucks to see all those rewards go to waste and this is driving out even more since it seems like a lot more people will be choosing specific places to go for certain level gear/materia. So this coupled with less 50+ because of the books dungeons...

On the other hand i would really like to see the other side of these results when you are in the right dungeon(maybe % per run) since im about to be finished with these books and will need materia. And also how the numbers on converting i70+ and the chances to yeild IV materia.
