Drops to date14/27 overall drop rate Links to FFxiclopedia: Goliard Set (WHM/BLM/RDM/BRD/SMN/PUP/SCH) Askar Set (WAR/PLD/DRK/BST/SAM/DRG) Denali Set (MNK/THF/RNG/NIN/BLU/COR/DNC) Floor 20 (Feet) 4/6 drop rate (4 Adamantoise, 1 Behemoth, 2 Fafnir)- Askar - Chaosangel
- Goliard - Selk
- Goliard - Peti
- Denail - Malakai
- Denali - Lauralie
Floor 40 (Legs) 2/7drop rate (1 Adamantoise, 1 Behemoth, 2 Fafnir)- Askar - Whisper
- Denali - Malakai
Floor 60 (Hands) 0/3 drop rate (2 Cerberus, 1 Khimaira, 0 Hydra)Floor 80 (Body) 2/8 drop rate (2 Cerberus, 4 Khimaira, 2 Hydra)- Askar - Priestsan
- Askar - Chaosangel
- Askar - Bardok
- Denali - Malakai
Floor 100 (Head) 1/4 drop rate (0 Cerberus, 4 Khimaira, 0 Hydra)Record of RunsThe rest of the posts in this thread will document progress throughout the weeks of the static. There are several typical outcomes for each Imperial ID tag, and they are as follows: - Loss: Did not exit via Rune of Transfer.
This can mean we got booted for time, or all members ended up dead and unraisable.
- Exit: Exited via Rune of Transfer, and obtained tokens as credit for the run.
This is used when objectives weren't met, such as recording climbing progress, or defeating a 20x boss floor.
- Win: This is used when progress is recorded on a Runic Disc.
Every 5x floors get recorded, so this will be used on climbing runs.
- Boss win: Used to denote a victory over a boss on floors 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 and a successful exit via the Rune of Transfer
- Boss exit: Time can get pretty close on some runs, so this denotes that a farming run was successful for defeating the 20x boss, but no tokens rewarded because the Rune of Transfer was not used.

4 tag day! With Mal on vacation, we ran on my disc, starting at floor 11, and working our way up.. Grabbed reliable ol' DM as an alternate, and got an extra from /sh'in. Pasquale filled in the 6th spot, DRK on first run, and WAR for the next 3. He has expressed interest in becoming a steady member.. I gave him a non-committal answer, and can discuss with him some time soon about it, pending OKs from everyone else. Bardok had only 3 tags, so we grabbed Zaps on THF for the extra space on the final run of the day
Tag1 - 11-15 - Exit Had to exit on floor 14 for lack of time, after two huge kill-all floors, and a kill spec enemies floor of the max # of flan x.x still came out on profit as far as tokens go, so ok by me. exit was actually made within 10 seconds of getting booted.. such a close call lol
Tag2 - 11-15 - Win Made it quite successfully, nothing really peculiar.. couple close calls with massive links, but they were well-handled, and didnt waste too much time.
Tag3 - 16-20 - Boss win Adamantoise - no drop (no TH) pretty good time made on the way up, DM diededed on turtle floor
Tag4 - 16-20 - Boss win Adamantoise - Goliard Clogs for Peti (TH present) Another good run.. a gear floor, but very few actually on it, and no unnecessary aggro on that floor. less time than last tag on final floor, but was well-handled.. DM managed to stay alive, but Whisp's CS nukage made the turtle turn, Earth breath'd and whisp met the floor
Excellent day, imo

Uhhh, 3 tags! Peti is the one on vacation this time and I am back! Rejoice! The rest of the usuals showed up today so we just needed to grab one extra, a healer. Asa was able to make it for 2 runs (Kind of), and we had to improvise on the third and grabbed Lidd on WAR while I helped heal on BLU/WHM. The first 2 runs were on my disc, while on the 3rd, CA started disc C. (And it should probably be noted that CA wants to work towards the Burtgang (I think) update prz!)
Tag1 - 16-20 - Loss ._. Asa disconnected right as we entered floor 16. Started off with some easy low-number imp specifics, but the Battledressed (I think) Chariot on the 17th floor proceeded to smash us. And the ensuing fail of the raising process caused us to HP/use flies in anger.
Tag2 - 36-40 - Boss win Adamantoise - no drop (no TH) Really good climb up despite me not making teams beforehand and everyone getting a bit confused. It was sorted out quickly enough though and we made it to the stingy toitle.
Tag3 - 1-5 - Win Easy floors for the most part, everyone did well. 1-5 cleared on CA's disc C.
Once Peti gets back, my plan is to climb to 40 on his disc, and then start to farm 20/40s on disc B, while occasionally climbing on my disc up past 40.

That fills in a lot of the beginning runs, but there's still a bit missing in the middle, mostly those weeks Pie was MIA. I'm pretty sure DM has been on a lot more runs than whats recorded, and we sure as hell aren't 3/4 on floor 20 drops. good enough for now though, I suppose. There isn't too much missing.. just 3 days or so.
Some people on the list of PUGs have missing information.. I pulled what I could from the LS Community site, but that things fails and has no Player search. I got one persons info from linking via FFxiAH, but few ppl still dont use it, and I got nothing on them.

3 tags, Lidda and Asa filled in for Peti and Pie on the first run, Peti returned for the 2nd and 3rd tags, CA and Lidd had to leave for the 3rd tag, so we picked back up Pie and also grabbed DS. Lots of people swappin this week!
Tag1 - 16-20 - Loss I wanted to try out THF on a boss run, so I had CA switch. We made decent time climbing despite some crappy floors, but the Behemoth boss just destroyed us. Multiple Thunderbolts followed by tanks dropping while stunned. I wasn't too impressed by taking a THF yet, but I'd probably change my tune if I was a harder hitting job :x
Tag2 - 36-40 - Loss Good climbing left us with a little less than 10 minutes to fight the Fafnir boss, but as soon as the fight started Whisp got one shotted by a breath, and later on in the fight 3 others died to a Spike Flail, and then that's where it pretty much ended.
Tag3 - 36-40 - Boss win Fafnir - no drop ._. - no TH Decent floor layouts, good climbing, x2 SAM rocks nyzul, did Faf right this time but no dorps.

We've decided to start anew, now that everyone can get a disc recorded, so we're all back at floor #1 this week.
Whisper is on extended absence, so we'll probably need a replacement each run day for him. Today, it was Lidda on WAR.
4 tags!
Tag1 - 1-5 - win Extremely successful five floors, and exited via rune, but the people who've never recoded before didnt get runic discs to record on.
Tag2 - 1-5 - win Another extremely easy set of floors, for a recording on all discs. We had a tremendous amount of time remaining. Malakai obtained a Wightslayer (BLU) and Peti obtained a Vorpal Sword (RDM).
Tag3 - 6-10 - loss Real Life interference, plus a horribly huge lamp layout with truesight mobs resulted in a fail on the first floor of the set. This is SE's revenge for our first two easy sets.
Tag4 - 6-10 - win Cant remember exactly how this one went, but it resulted in a recording on all discs, so.. win!

3 Tags! We decided to give a go down a member and 5-man nyzul, since our usual backups weren't around, and we didn't want to /sh for some random individual. Selk joined us for the third tag of the day to round us out at 6.
Tag1 - 21-25 - win Got our first ever Free Floor this run! ..and then a Qiqirn Leader that likes to waste a lot of time by running and dropping mines. Only got THF nyzul weapon, which auto-sorted.
Tag2 - 26-30 - win Smooth and uneventful, nothing tricky. Oriri Samiriri showed her face, but went down pretty easily without causing much dmg.
Tag3 - 31-35 - win Eriri Samiriri played with us this time, used Frog Song a few times, but the charm never last even long enough to cast a sleep spell. Met up with the Long-Horned Chariot, who never got to use his signature move, Brainjack, although he did make me go splat. Finished up with a "kill all" floor, ending on a Psycheflayer who used Tribulation while I was still weakened and couldnt remove effects with any speed. ..and in all this mayhem and excitement, we ended up ascending to floor 36, instead of exiting. Won't point any fingers, or place any blame, but Mal's a nub. <.< Ascended again to 37 for more tokens, and still got a message saying the Runic Disc was recorded on.. so we wait until Monday to see wether or not we can start on 36, since we didnt exit on an x5 floor.
..btw: tons of NMs, and only one nyzul weapon x.x

3 Tags! We decided to give a go down a member again, for the 5-man nyzul. Darkmage's PS2 needed to download an update, and was taking forever.
Tag1 - 36-40 - boss win Got another Free Floor this run, and on the one right before the boss, too! Behemoth dropped a Wightslayer, and thats all we got.
Tag2 - 41-45 - win Good climb run, and the first for the group past 40. Vile Ineef mopped the floor with pie. I lol'd.
Tag3 - 46-50 - win Yay, halfway to the top! Wightslayer, once again, was the only nyzul weapon to make an appearance. SE's trying to tell us something.

Friday, September 26th
A lot of people had time limitations today, so that led to some funky runs. We did our normal 5 man group + Asa for the first run, - CA for the second run, and then down Asa and Peti, plus Lidd for the third run. Not a whole lot of climbing done today, but it's just a small bump in the road.
Tag 1 - 51-55 - Exit Messy run. Started with ordered lamps with some demons, but that didn't cause us too much trouble, good job handling it all. Floor 53, I think it was, screwed us over in the end. Sloppy sneaking around + pulling + finding mobs, the mobs being 5 psycheflayers didn't help much. Ended up leaving after that floor due to time.
Tag 2 - 16-20 - Boss win Adamantoise - DORP! Denali - no TH All around a pretty smooth 5 man climb and fight. We decided to farm a boss floor since we couldn't record data without CA. The bosses finally showed us some denali! I snagged that up despite the team trying to steal it ._. Hopefully I'll get some matching pants soon ;D He also dropped a SCH weapon, which went to Peti.
Tag 3 - 11-15 - Exit Down any possible real healers, we decided to 4 man nyzul to farm NMs for weapons again. We actually did pretty well for a 4 man group of melee/support. Took down a kill all (I think), imp leader, and 3 psycheflayer specifics. Also found quite a lot of NMs which had relatively decent weapon drop rates.. just not weapons we wanted. SMN dropped and went to Bard, while BLM didn't sort out in the 10 sec timeframe I had to rush to the rune (No one wanted it anywho)
Stay tuned on the lsmes for news of a Tuesday run to replace Xbox's black monday update!

3 Tags! Whisper is back, so we're back to our original 6-man team.
Tag1 - 51-55 - win Oriri, Nutmeg, mousse, and the shortest kill-all floor ever.
Tag2 - 56-60 - Boss win Cerberus sat atop our first Hands floor. He kept his hands to himself, but dropped a BLM nyzul weapon, which Peti obtained. Big congratulations to Pie, on finally getting a Windslicer!
Tag3 - 61-65 - loss First loss in a long time.. Chariot multikill floor slowed us down, plus a big kill all floor on first and last of the set.. came within maybe 3 mobs of a win though.
