Also noticed random gear that is used to spawn Escha NMs drops. Couldn't figure out the randomness of the items.

yags are lenitive


So we got

Divine Punishers II: Lenitive
Dismemberment Brigade II : transitory
Grimshell Shocktroopers II : foreboding
Legion XI Comitatensis II: Supernal
Brothers D'Aurphe II : Corvine


Unsure if Demolition Squad II, Kindred Spirits II, Jungle Boogymen II or Amphibian Assault II have some kind of special drop in their place or not

Has anyone gotten hexed-1 gear on any difficulty other than VD? Also anyone else noticed only 4ish of the 6 mobs in the quad/yag/orc BC dropping stuff?
Yeah last page
After doing these last night fact the only drops that matter per area are the abjs nothing else. And difficulty and th is ***. (Mind you TH per SE notes plus updates matter for VW and merit points fight.) Spam all the VD you want so far my worse drops were from VD with or without thf. Best drops so far on D and normal was ok.
Rng is rng unless there is some solid decent sample sized statistics I don't see a reason to not spend the extra minute on vd. Hell right now half the time doing these is travel and dealing with invent before or during lol

It is specific sets. The Abjurations they drop, is the set they drop.

It's nice that they did this instead of randomized. What you would expect is usually not the approach SE takes.

x2 Plovid Flesh

Yeah, Kindred Spirits is the best for Gil, unless you are hoping for a -1 Hexed

Did a bunch of Demolition Squad II. Mostly the same as others except had sacks of non alluvion skirmishes stones+1 and some +2 stones, non alluvion skirmish wings, balyd boxes, and delve megaboss synth items. So basically soa stuff that the others didn't drop.

The megaboss item always appeared in the extra slot similarly to how hexed pieces were when I did the yags. Th did seem to increase the odds of their being an extra slot... but not sure it helped since those were also the only times I got a non special zone item in those slots.

Judging by this and previous posters it looks like each zone might have some specific kinds of loot some of which only appears in the extra non guaranteed slot. So far it looks like we have the 5 zones with their hexed and associated abjurations this one having some skirmish and delve stuff and spirits having vagary mats

edit: on demo squad when the 6th slot wasn't one of the delve boss drops used in reforging relic it was one of the job ingredients for af reforge

Hello boys


I have a question

Difficult increases drop rate for good stuff or drop rate is equal for all levels?

Slot 6: Etched, Macuil Horn


Things to note:
Slots 1-5 are 100%, Slot 6 is around 20%. Slots 1-5 will drop the Rem Ch. of that number (if nothing else loads?), the 6th slot will only drop Etched Memories.
Slot 1 contained stuff to augment equipment (from both Skirmish and Reisenjima)
Slot 2 contained HM Pouches and plates, low sample size to compare with. edit: Got one MNK card from this slot on Marquis Chomiel.
Slot 3 contained various 109 armor upgrade items. edit: alexandrite/linen dropped in this slot, also an Azdaja Horn and Sobek Skin.
Slot 4 contained Geas Fete items (Dst Ingot, Flame Blade, Etherael Incense, Boulder/Beitetsu for Zitah T3, pouch/case can drop as well)
Slot 5 had Relic Currency, Skirmish stones, Reisenjima stones, nothing really specific it seems.
Slot 6 seems to be Vagary stuff, not sure if Codexes can drop.

So Jungle Boogymen II's extra slot seems to be 119 relic job ingredient (I say seems because in 10 runs only got 1 item not seen elsewhere being pils tuille) and if not it's the af job ingredient.

Also got a few Ulhuadshi's fangs

Do you have an example of your set? I gave up trying to land sleep on VT a long time ago and my blu generally doesn't get omen cards so my Maac is quite a bit lower than the maximum a blu can achieve. I'm mostly curious as to if I'd be able to pull it off if i can manage a reasonablty close set instead of T which was my old cutoff pooint for safety.

How do you go about dealing dealing with Astral Flow? I barely survive it on Difficult.

Barrier tusk with a DT set, most of the trusts will die though so you have to kill fast because there won't be a 2nd sleep
