Does anyone know the lore on why Salvage area Arrapago Remnants can only be entered once per real life day, but the other 3 areas can be spammed? I always get confused when I do mythic trials if I'm going to forced to wait a couple days to complete

"Congestion"

Heres a more useful answer:
Arrapago II was the RMT hotspot as well as the hotspot of people cheating to farm alexandrite. There was a way to go back to 5f and repeatedly farm the Gears that pop from the Ramparts that are guaranteed one alex. This only worked in Arrapago (or atleast was the only area worth doing it in), and instead of SE fixing the problem at the root cause, they issued a one day lockout (or maybe they also fixed the problem, I'm not risking it to find out). Theres no reason for this lockout to still exist in 2024, nor has there been any reason for said lockout since the implementation of Ambuscade.

For whatver reason, I dont believe this exploit worked on the last boss that was guaranteed a Linen.

I was, misread that.

Are there any grips more powerful for physical WS than Utu Grip?

Nope and 2nd place isn't even close

What even is 2nd place?

Bloodrain/Nepenthe+1 or a Duplus, yeah, 10+ year old still the only other options.

Rigorous+1 with augs is actually reasonable as a second place. 19 STR 45 attack

rigorous wins in sims a lot with low buffs, but isn't as attractive to tp in.

How come Harvesting Nodes suck so much donkey butt? They keep disappearing on me completely the second I hop off my mount to start harvesting.

They don't do this. Harvesting, Mining, Logging points all disappear when you use them (% chance, usually after 2-3 items in my experience). They will never disappear unless someone interacts with them.

Tell that to the harvest points that are literally disappearing on me?

toggle wire frame to check if some bot is harvesting the point right under your butt.

Adoulin ones definitely move on their own.

Is there a way to tell if the Voidwalker NMs are going to give the title or not when you spawn them?

Also, does Yilbegan pull the same ***?

If they have a shadow they will grant title. Unshadowed t3/t4 VNMs will not give title nor will they drop rings.

Yilbegan is the same. Except its shadow rate seems to be a lot lower anecdotally. While t3s seem like about 50% or thereabout, I've only encountered maybe 1-2 shadowed Yilbegan ever.

Seconding this. I know they added special code to the ones in Morimar so that they would move around occasionally. This was to make the marble nugget easier; having it spawn behind a reive when it is necessary to fight reives was a problem. Might extend to other systems, too.

Trust job types affects COR rolls right?

So if you were to summon specific trusts and buff with the roll, then get rid of said trust, you could technically always get the job bonuses right?

Yes

Been discussed before calling Lhu for Beast roll or Zeid for chaos roll then releasing them
