Thread: Salvage!    

Edit: lol just go here

Topic dedicated to salvage; How to start, what to do, any info at all

Requirements:
1. Must be past ToAU mission 17 (right after you get glory crown ganked from you).
2. Speak to Zasshal in Whitegate (right outside assault office).
3. Trade him 2000 assault points, which can be taken from any assault, you are then given a Remnants Permit.
4. Unlock Nyzul Isle Staging Point (map found below).
5. Can teleport to any of the salvage areas from there. Also must have 6-18 people in party to enter.

To get to salvage

I might have confused both teleport on east side, I'm gonna go check after this post to make sure.

Note: Bhaflau and Zhaolym are switched

Basically, any entrance to the ruin, minus the one West of nashmau is going to lead you to a teleport that bring you to the Remnant entrance. If you take the bright teleport near the entrance, it will teleport you to the central area of Undersea ruin with 4 teleports and the stagging point

Salvage
Everyone is completely naked when you enter, and all stats are greatly reduced. Also, all magic and Job abilities are locked. They are unlocked or restored only with items found from mobs throughout salvage, and only unlock it for one person. These are the ____ cell items. I believe each one corresponds to one thing, so I can update as we figure them out.

Different unlocks: HP, MP, STR, DEX, VIT, AGI, INT, MND, CHR, Subjobs, Spells, Job Abilities, Weapons, Ranged Weapons, Head/Neck, Earrings/Rings, Body, Hands, Waist/Back, Legs/Feet

Duplicatus cell = support job
Praecipitatio cell = magic
Nimbus Cell = AGI (fairly certain)
Costenellus Cell (sp) = Head/Neck pieces
Cumulus cell = Body armor
Cirrocumulus cell = waist piece
Virga cell = rings/earrings
Undulatus cell = ranged attack

Medicine items also seem to be prevalent in salvage, with items such as Dusty Potions (300 HP heal) and Fanatic's Drink (Temporary Invincible).

Mobs at the start have seriosly no HP and no evasion. You can H2H them, they will die quickly. Bombs are perfect targets, they dont hit hard and arnt really that bad. There seems to be trigger NMs to open doors but we arnt really sure sence the name didnt change. We would get messages like "The door is sealed..." then would go back and kill a mob and the doors would unlock. Usually the "trigger mobs" are in a room by themselves but nothing really special about them.

Tips for Salvage thus far:

We tried arrapago one, but didnt manage to get far. Here is a few tip of thing you want to do

-Bring Mnk for the first part when everyone is naked with nothing else but fist

- Pull them one by one

- Don't train to look for chest, item are dropped by mobs

- Monster get much tougher on higher floor, so dont zone until you are ready, or you will be stuck there

- You can only go up the teleport, cant come back. Everyone is teleported as you zone[/quote]

- Bring at least one reraiser (item)

- loldrg and lolpup work well for the first few floors since they have a buddy that can do most of the damage!

Will continue updating

Undersea Ruins does not appear to be far enough.

Beating Ashu talif is probably it if you tell me having access to alzadal isnt enough

The article said all the healer things you get will have no effect after you reenter

Hmm, you certain? I asked one alliance which one it was, and they told me zhayolm ( I assumed last one was bhaflau). Well, I will change it, not like this mspaint job took me more than 8 seconds >_>

The requirement to get Zashaal to listen to you is completion of mission 17 (after you get your Glory Crown stolen) with Mission 18: Passing Glory in the mission log. I was on mission 14 after the update and this is the earliest he would talk to me.

I was in Suiram's group when I went on this. I have to strongly agree that it is better to do this with 6-10 well trusted people.

Select an exact order of people for priority before going in. Everything should be going to only a couple people in the begining IMO. We got a lot of equipment unlocks, but most of them where going to mages who couldn't even cast spells yet. -_- As much as it sucked to sit around being a completely useless mage who can't cast, equipment should go to those would actually get use from it.

Maybe each set drops in a different zone with one zone without that specific set? Such as Enyo dropping in Zhaolym, Phobos in Bhaflau, and Deimos in Arrapago Remants while Silversea doesnt drop anything for our heavy melee friends?

Or maybe it's completly random who knows. >_> Just curious.


Also I don't remember the exact words of the update notes. Do you clear one area and advance to another? Like beat Bhaflau Remants then you're able to enter Bhaflau Lv2 or whatever? <.< Or are these four it?

Who knows, it's late and I'm tired D:

My guess: It's like city dynamis, to where 3/4 cities drop "your gear."
I will be going tomorrow, as I couldn't tonight =\

Can't update now either cuz calculus owns my soul, but I will tomorrow when I get home.

My group did Bhaflau. Like others before me have said, bringing jobs that can use Hand-To-Hand really help in the beginning.

On the first floor we fought a bunch of Puks that dropped the item that unlocked weapons/shields. We also fought a Mamool that dropped a chest that contained Dusty Potions (300 HP heal) and Fanatic's Drink (Temporary Invincible). We got 1 item that let you get job abilities back and 1 that let you get your subjob back from the Puks. The drop rate on these 2 items seemed really low.

Second floor was a bunch of lizards that dropped the item for hands and body. Doors were sealed, so we went down another floor.

Fought some Mamool Ja WHMs but fucked up a pull and ended up wiping.

On that note, it's advisable that people bring Reraisers. The actual item, not the gorget or the hairpin since you cannot equip them right away. We didn't stop to think of that and our run ended when our only guy with Raise died. =/
