I will NOT be including remnant specific information. I will, however, link to anyone that choses to make remnant specific guides.
So by popular demand, I've chosen to make a salvage guide for this forum. I warn now that I am getting this information from several sources and none of these ideas are original. I'm just making a general compilation.
To enter Salvage:
General Preparation:
- Scroll of Instant Reraise, Reraiser
- Silent Oils and Prism Powders
- Potions and Hi-Potions
- Job Abilities
- Magic
- Equipment
- Subjobs
- 50% HP
- 50% MP
- -30 STR
- -30 DEX
- -30 VIT
- -30 AGI
- -30 INT
- -30 MND
- -30 CHR
There are Notorious Monsters in each Remnant. It is believed that defeating some or all of these weakens the Mega Boss significantly. The Mega Bosses reside on the fifth floor for Bhaflau Remnants and Silver Sea Remnants and on the seventh floor in Arrapago Remnants and Zhayolm Remnants.
General strategy notes:
MNK, PUP, THF, NIN, and WAR will shine at the beginning assuming their Hand to Hand skill is leveled. It might be helpful to your alliance to skill it up for those that don’t use it regularly.
Monsters in Remnant areas act the same as they would outside. Bombs and Trolls aggro to sight; Wamoura to True Sight and Magic; Eruca to sound. It is possible to use Sneak Oils and Prism Powders to navigate the halls as long as you’re careful of the true sight mobs. Discuss strategies on paths within your group to decide how you chose to navigate as to what’s best for your own goals.
As certain mobs die, a coffer will spawn that contain Temporary items. The chest will not disappear until all items are removed. Only the person that removed the item has the ability to use it.
Dusty Potion
Imbued Items:
Encumberment (Equipment)
Obliviscence (Subjob)
Impairment (Job Ability)
Omerta(Magic)
Debilitation (9 Statistics)
General Imbued Item Distribution:
(Just a suggestion, obviously, alter for your alliances needs)
Inside Remnant areas, there are “Slot†or “Socket†points. If you trade a cell (or many cells) to one of these, a “Flux Flan†spawns. Defeat the Flan and it will drop twice as many cells as you gave it. This should make removing aliments much easier, assuming you appoint one person to lot a certain amount of cells.
