Level 1 on Ragnarok, and yes I'm 14th in the Supply Rating (why I've been spamming this all day). 3/20 on drops so far, a pair of Wristlets and 2 Knives...

I hope that you're not required to be in the top 20 contributors just to get a chance at Militia drops. The only ones I've seen so far were all for top 20 contributors.

It's not a lucky sob in my last group that a militia in their loot list, all the top 20 does is grant 2 chances at getting loot lol.

Also not sure if anyone has tried more adventurous setups but with a pickup group we came up with.
WAR, ARC, BLM, WHM, DOLx2 and DOHx2

The basic idea is the DOL work together in getting Blue then Red so the effect always last while the DOH work sepereately on ATT/DEF and DEF/Regen so that the defense of the NPCs is always active.

From that point basically the fighters fight as normal as they keep the mobs off the DoH/L and near the end of the fight when the boss appears the DoL can focus on green to sleep the mobs so there are less mobs to worry about if you just want to eliminate the boss.

On the first attempt I forgot to tell the DoH how the whole system worked but upon the second run we only lost 1 fortification and got 28k reward. Sure the reward wasn't high but for a 2nd attempt with randoms I'd say it's pretty good XD. It's fun how Hamlet seems to support a wide range of setups.

Was this with level 1 or 2 supplies?

Just curious as my server is sitting on level 2 supplies and the monsters tear through groups.

It's rank 2 for you though the issue you're having might be very simple. If you haven't noticed it's best to target the mages first when you see them, I keep forgetting their names. But the Beast come in 3 classes, Lancer, Gladiator and then THM/CON combo. THM has the lowest amount of HP, Lancer are Medium and the Gladiators have a lot of HP as well as defense.
-------

What may be decimating your party is when the mages use Aeroga in unison which can deal devastating damage, so when you see them coming it's best to switch targets regardless of what you are attacking at the moment.

Hope that helps a bit but if you are having issues try to get at least 1 DoL and DoH in the group, with them you can start off with fortifying the NPC defense and with the gatherer they can weaken the mobs HP so that the mages are squishier.

Perhaps this is level 2

But this is what one of our party members got after the end of the fight, it was one of the head pieces this might be the wrong one lol.

You only need 1 DoL everyone else DoW/M, but that gets really rough, I would try to get 2 DoL however lines will probably get broken through without DoH buffs.

Its alot easier with 2 DoL to keep buffs on.
