I've been wanting to write about salvage for a long time now, with strategy, routes and the drops we were getting from mobs and NMs. But i realised that some other sites (wiki and air) are doing an amazing job of compiling all those stuff, and that i really don't have the time to organize all those stuff together. Therefore, i'll just post stuff and pix for some of the runs we did.
the 2 mnk for low number salvage getting ready to undress:

it's pretty obvious which zone we were in:

skill up!!

the drop rate on cells for our first run was terrible, no weapons, no JA and only 1 head cell.

needless to say, this was the only result we have to show for:

so we prepared for our second run, w/ a lot more medicine, and a little change in pt setup, i like what Koen said about salvage.

so our second run began, and the drop rate on cells was better.

after we got our first weapon cell and JA cell, those mobs became a joke. wahaha...

we chased after the treasure hunter,

w/ it dropping bombs here and there

the mobs were easy to tank once i got my /nin and magic

but the running away of the rats were getting annoying

lolbombs

i also got my blackbelt when i tank this, it was a joke (if you got /nin and magic)


we were killing mobs a lot faster once we got our weapons/JA

this is what the rat astrologer dropped: -_-

oils and powders are a must for this zone


and toward the end of the run (was running of time), stuff were dropping left and right:




we have been doing salvage ever since it came out, this is the only completed piece we have to show for so far.


we'll be doing the same zone again this coming weekend, hopefully we'll get lucky on the cell drop rate. -_- really hate this zone since even if you bring a thf, the drop rate is horrible, horrible, i tell you. anyway, more update coming up.
