Second time, same as the first...

Second time, same as the first:
A little bit louder and a little bit worse!

Actually, GigidyGigidy's 2nd Salvage run went fairly well last night. Well, better than the 1st run went. We ended up doing Zhayolm Remnants again, but this time we took a little more time on the first 2 floors to farm cells that we needed. Perhaps a little too much time was spent on the 1st floor while going after Incus Cells (weapon) but like everything else that is Salvage, it'll take time for us to really get the feel for how to do this right.

At least this time I could actually use my shadows! The first run I had unlocked my subjob and JAs almost right away... but didn't get a magic cell the entire time. Granted, last time I actually had a lot more equipment slots unlocked too. I think I had everything but legs/feet, ranged/ammo and body unlocked. This time I only had weapon and hands. :-P

We got up to the 4th floor within 30 minutes, so we went after Poroggo Madame to get some 15 pieces... one of which was the remaining piece necessary for Caol's Usu feet! We basically wiped 2 or 3 times to the NM before we finally got it down... but at least we know what to do now. It went somethign along the lines of:
(1) THF sack pulls from the North room and heads towards the east room to die
(2) MNK #1 Chi Blasts the NM as soon as she enters the north/south hallway and then runs towards the west room, where everyone else is waiting
(3) MNK #2 waits at the south door of the north/south hallway (making sure to stay out of sight from the froggies) and Chi Blasts the NM if necessary and also heads towards the west room
(4) put the smack-down on the NM after she completely enters the west room and try to pull her as far from the center room as possible so that we don't aggro the other froggies either during the fight or while she's heading back to her spawn location
(5) everyone stay in close so when she charms us, noone dies (NOTE: Taru froggies are smaller than others. lol)
(6) repeat 4 and 5 til she's dead
(7) lot gearz0rz and /hurray

So, it took us 2 runs just to get some 15 gear... ... ... lol Nah, we're doin fine. I think we have the cell order down now (after only 2 runs!) We just need to figure out how much time we should spend on each floor farming cells and learn when to just cut our losses and move on to the next floor for different cells. Like, it would really have helped us out if we had some HP cells.

In other news: we headed up to sky right after Salvage and did our last Kirin, Suzaku and Byakko with our current group. Before Sunday's sky run, apparently a bunch of people are getting cut from the shell. Guess we'll see who stays and who goes.

And damn you Kneehigh for being ahead of me in points for D Legs!!!
At least we got another haidate last night for the group. 1 less item for us to clamor over. Can't wait til we start selling THOSE. :)
