    SB in HM Dungeons

    I haven't SB in HM dungeons in a while. I decided to duty queue for Halatali or Brayflox, I was bonding Zircon accessories (i48-49) as a BLM. These dungeons are i55, Dungeon iLVLs, which should have provided an optimal SB rate, as the mLVL should 7-10 levels above the items.

    My accessories only gained 4% for the entire run. Did they re-nerf SBing dungeons again?

    The SB'ing lvl it determined by the level of gear it drops. Halatali/Brayflox Hard drop i70 Darklight gear, thus it is i70 SB'ing level. And I do not believe it is 7-10 levels, I think it is more like 6 plus or minus. They really nerfed it something fierce awhile ago.

    Yep, I completely misremembered how the dungeon iLVL worked. Ran both Aurum Vale and Haukke Manor HM since last post.
    Haukke dropped i60 gear, and SB was non-existent.
    AV dropped i48~ gear and SB was only about 40% gain on a full clear.
    Going to try Amdapor Keep, Wanders Palace, Praetorium and Castrum Meridianum.
    Otherwise, it is back to the ever crowded Urth's Fount, or N. Than then.

    Prea is the best bet, it takes 2 runs to complete SB if you don't want Urth's or N. Than.

    Item level 45-50 will give mostly IIIs, with a small-chance of IVs (about 1 in 10, or so?).

    The last time I was bonding with regularity, 2.35, it was close to 30% but it has definitely dropped since then, or I just have poor luck with RNG. I have bonded about 25 items and only received 1 Grade 4 thus far.

    They nerfed it to stop people abusing Syrus tower at the time to stop people doing ilvl100 content in ilvl 70 gear.
    alot of people were doing novus materia melds.
