Dynamis drop chart by day and moonFollow

Moon phase, thf, /thf are the only things that i've known to affect drop rate.

And time spent in an area has no effect on drop rates, that's just HELM + fishing.

When you organize parties try to spread your THFs out between them. Even have 1 in the BLM party try to stab statues before they're nuked. The drop rate is so low it's hard to tell when it's actually affected. It's like drop rate increasing from 5% -> 7% (made up numbers)- there IS a difference, but you may not SEE the difference. My record I've seen was 21 drops (AF+100s) in Bastok on a New Moon.

First note that TH's do not stack. 64 people subbing THF for TH1 will have the effect of one person with TH1. However, TH only activates when you're on the hate list for a given mob. Thusly, THF are the best pullers in dynamis, as they will have hate on everything. Simply max out the puller's TH.

No other items have been proven (using a test that could even be considered decently scientific) to give hidden TH.

Day of the week and moonphase, I don't know.

Would you like to provide evidence for any of your rantings? It's not even cohesive to read. I honestly have no idea what you have typed in the last few sentences. Evidence is nice. You know, it makes people believe you and stuff. But that's cool not to as well, it just makes you sound like you have no idea what you're talking about.

And by the way, a personal experience of mine. We were doing Dynamis-Bastok for an hour and a half and we realized we didn't have any Thiefs with us. Our Corsair went and changed to Thief. The drops changes from 0-2 currency dropped per mob to 2-4 currency dropped per mob and AF started flowing along with 2 100 Byne Bills. You don't need a thief in every party to get 10+ AF. The interesting thing is when we have our TH4 Thieves go our drops usually suck, at least, we still get 0-1 relic in Beaucdeine 5 runs in a row. My vote is it's mainly {/random} and TH3 and TH4 slides the chance up slightly, very slightly.

You don't need to be on the hate list.. just in the area.

Since both this, and you cyclone/ga farming stuff were both said by SE, I've come to the conclusion that only the party (possibly alliance) that kills effects the drops :x

edit: and TH does stack.

That explains our getting 5 RNG hats is a single Dynamis-Jeuno run... Though it doesn't explain the 2 MNK gloves that dropped on the same run. Sadly I lost the lot on both of 'em (and they haven't dropped since ><), but I'm not gonna complain because I got MNK feet and pants in my first 2 weeks.

After the glass is broken you have 1 hour. During the run you can get time extensions, up to (I believe) a total of 3-3.5 hours.

It is definitely partially due to Moon phases and time of day. Our LS keeps track of the days/moon phases that pass during all our runs. Here's a distribution of our last 7 runs in Xacrabard.

We have our Thieves in our shell kill the Dynamis Statues. We get tons of 100 Currency this way. I reccomend this to every shell. When we used BLMs to nuke them we wouldn't get drops.

Let them go on their fool's errands. I think of them as being on the same level as small household pets such as hamsters. They need wheels to run in or they get restless.

About the BST AF.....our dynamis ls has been doing two runs a week since jan, and we have only seen 2 bst pieces. Ever. Which sucks, cause we have 3-4 bsts that come with us ><

On another note, SE says TH is only needed in the party. Check out the link to the THF TH post above, I think there was a discussion there that said the TH is only active for the PARTY that kills the mob - not the alliance. I have toyed with having an all THF pt dedicated to having the kill (not so a thf gets kill, but the party with the most th gets kill), but it seems my ls doesnt want to go through the extra effort to test my theory ; ;

No there doesn't. Why can't people accept that some things are just completely random?
