Dynamis drop chart by day and moonFollow

Well on Leviathan we have to many Dynamis shells now, and we are tryign to figure out what really effects the drops rate.

Recently a LS got 29 drops in Glacier. Dumb luck?

Is it having lots of THF main and sub THF?

Is it having thf or /thf using maxed mogenhancement: light?

Is it based on moon phase?

Is it based on Day of week?

Is it dumb luck?

Is it paying 13.00 a month instead of 12.95?

So after seeing all this added information, I still would like to get at least another 3-6 months of info from another 8 LS's and we can compare notes.

Nah we already use a lot of BLM so winnign is easy, this is about how to get mroe AF instead of random money or relic weapons.

or

http://www.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=10;mid=114079976610052489

My first visit to Beaucedine netted nine pieces of AF2, including two Cleric's Briaults. We've not managed to repeat that number. Our shell tends to do its best to have a THF or /THF in every party; I'm not sure it really helps, but it certainly can't hurt.

I think the secret to AF2 happiness is to level Beastmaster. You have almost no competition for the drops, so you can quickly have a complete set. The only hassle is listening to everyone complain that "lolBST" dropped instead of something they wanted.

i have bst feet and body on my mannequin =\

so would you say there is any certain food to eat?

Meh we always joke about sacrificing Taru or SAM's for good drops.

well we did windy the other night got about 8-9 drops, about 50% of the LS tried sub thf or thf main. the rest did normal jobs and subs.

Usually we have 3-5 THF main and about 5-8 /THF.

Typical drop rates are from 2-6 in ice areas, and 1-13 in city

did bastok a few days ago. i think we had maybe 27 ppl total including just one thf. (he of got the 1 thf relic that dropped). we got a total of 9 drops. not including weapons. stopped counting those but i think everyone had the chance for a relic scythe =P

can't remember exactly what dropped but i'm pretty sure: mnk, nin, blm, rdm, smn, and a bst body lol, which there was no one there to lot on. it was almost left to auto-sort cause no one needed/wanted ^^

dynamis seems to be pretty random except that after MB dies we always get more drops.

Only thing I notice to change AF drop rate is most melee to sub thf. And killing stuff after boss has no effect on AF drops. Sometimes alot drop after boss, but that seems more like luck.

Most we've ever had was in the 20s, also in the cities. The most in the glacier was 9, and the most in xarcabard was 6.

Our rarest AF has been Samurai and Dragoon (I have the only wyrm armet that has ever dropped in the last YEAR), and our most common have been BST, MNK and WAR.

Go fig.

We usually have 4-6 THF in the different alliances, and we joke about one of our PLDs needing to die in order for drop rate to increase. The funky part is, it usually DOES increase when HE dies. :)

This was my Dynamis LS's best run ever, 12 AF2, 4 silverpieces, about 600 coins total. The run was done during a First Quarter Moon, most melees subbing Thief, and myself being one of two Thief main and kiter, was in a party of Black Mages that would often finish off the monsters that melee would be fighting.



Additionally, because of a trend I saw from personally tracked information, I had changed the way I was kiting the mobs that day to stay as close to the monsters that were being fought. Previously, I would keep the monsters far away from everyone else, for their safety lest I die; however I was confident in my ability to stay alive that day because of evasion skill merits. There's usually only 2 thief mains on each run, so having another thief "Within experience range" and "Within the party that kills the monster" may have helped drops. I'm waiting for our next non-Northlands run to try this technique again.

And for the record, if Moghancement: Light has anything to do with boosting Treasure Hunter, my Treasure Hunter is broken. I've had overwhelming light energy in my mog house for a long time, and my droprate for nice shiny things has still been a crap shoot, and I keep rolling snake eyes.

It has no effect.
Please tab back to FFXI.


THF, Number of members, time spent in area, is the ONLY way to effect drop rate.
Though Full Moon does seem to effect it, but not proven.
