Hi everyone!
Today we're doing salvage, a event from the 3rd addon, Treasure of Aht Urghan
Salvage are instencied area where many NM pop, it was used to get the best armor in the game
These items required to get 3 items in salvage
To begin with the diference between Level 75 and Level 90
As you can see we're 5, salvage used to need at least 6 people
Though there was a bug that allowed us to enter without 6 people back then
But it used to be 6 people required, and now it's only 3
I'll have to cut the video since a salvage is 1 hour and 40 minutes, it's very long
For people who never did salvage, it's a event where you begin naked, and you'll have to unlock your armor
to get on the last floor, because there's many floor and the boss is on the last one
We have a coffer that give us a few a few unlock for our stuff, it was added in a update
We healed ourselves with Potion
Back then the first mobs were really hard, even though they're easy
Because we didn't had any stuff so it was hard to do dammage, but at level 90, it's not a problem anymore
As for the way, because in salvage, there's multiple way
And you need to be really careful since you can't fix a mistake
When you'll open a door, another door will be closed
And when you'll use a teleport, you wont be able to use other teleport that could get you somewhere else on the next floor
The way we Choose first was NorthWest, you just need to go West from start to fight Qutrub
They'll unlock your Weapon and Head Armor
Lamia Darlist, they're Ranger, will unlock ability and Ranged Weapon
And the Lamia Graverobber, They're Black Mage, will unlock both Magic And MP
Because Stats, HP and MP are also restricted from the begining
Don't open the door at the end of the way, come back and go to the south this time
To fight both the Qutrub, and the Lamia Dancer, she's a Summoner, she'll drop Both Magic and MP too
Then you'll need to East to fight Drauger, or Skeleton
They'll drop HP, Belt, Str Stats that'll increase your damage
Agility, really useful for your melee so they can evade attack
And Int, very usefull for Tank too, that'll reduce Magic Attack Dammage from Monster
The drop rate from these items are really bad, thanksfully at level 90 we have Treasure Hunter VI
But it's totally useless like the 4
That's it for the first first, we always take the teleport at the South East, to get to the next floor
The 2nd floor is really short, there's just one NM here
The thing about this NM is that he can warp anytime, and if he does, you lost it
But at level 90 it shouldn't be hard
Don't forget to ask your Thief to steal it, since you can steal the item that can unlock body armor
For the 3rd floor, this one is really important since next floor with depend on the choice you made in this floor
The North Way is easier, with Lamia, if you need Ares Head, that's the good way
At the South is if you need the Morrigan's Head, it's a little harder because there's Soulflayer mobs
They're TrueSight and TrueSound, so they can see you with Sneak and Invisible, you'll need to play like in Metal Gear Solid!
When you'll open the door, A Qiqirn Treasure Hunter will Pop, it can drop MOrrigan's Robe
Back at level 75, there used to be a bug, when you was next to the wall, the Qiqirn could see you through the wall
So it stopped running away and came back at his starting point
But since the last update, it only have 50% chance of working, so don't expect to kill him
The 4th floor will be diferent depending which side you choosed last floor
We choosed Soulflayer, there's a room at East or West with Gear that can drop stuff
Archaic Gear can drop Legs and Sub Jobs
Rampart can drop Hands, it can increase your Thief's Treasure Hunter, if he has AF2
Crab will drop Both Dex and VIT, very important for melee
So in the North or South room, depending on which side you are
You'll have your NM, he'll have the same name as normal monster, only diference is that he's bigger
We're on the Soulflayer side so you just have to look for a big Soulflayer
For the Ares Mask on the other Side, it's a Bhoot
The NM Bhoot as an ability that does lot of Damage
The Soulflayer NM is strong since he can use powerful magic and has a nasty poison
But seems ok at level 90
I was really shocked that the boss did drop the Morrigan's Armor
Used to have a very bad drop rate, Square-Enix increased the drop rate in salvage, so now it's easier to get armor
When you'll open the next door, you'll find another Qiqirn Treasure Hunter
He's really easy, just need to run after him when he try to escape
For the 5th Floor, you'll start depending on which side you choosed 2 floor before that
You should find in the first room a few Archaic Gear, they drop both Legs and Sub Jobs, you should kill them to unlock everyone's armor
When you'll open the door from this floor, 2 NM will pop, so don't go on the next floor just yet
The first NM is a chariot, he's not too hard at level 90
He use chariot ability like Bindga or Paralyzega
The 2nd NM is a Qiqirn Astrologer, the same we defeated at the 2nd Floor
Just like on the 2nd floor, you need to kill it fast or he'll warp
With some luck you'll get the Ares Body
That's it for this floor, before we get to the next floor
On the next floor, to pop NM, you'll have to kill all Monster in less than 7 minutes
It was really hard at level 75 but that's ok now at level 90
If you got a Bard, you should use Soul Voice before getting to the next floor
Once you're upstair, someone will have to pull everything, you need to be really fast
Or else you wont be able to kill NM from this floor
The NM popping are again Qiqirn Treasure Hunter that we fought earlier, they drop the Morrigan's Robe
Once they're dead, we'll have acess to the last floor with the boss, the boss is a Chariot
He's Called Armored Chariot, so like every Salvage Boss, he has every Chariot Ability
The Laser Beam that Bind, or the Lightning Attack that'll Paralyze
Every Salvage boss has one Special attack, an attack that can be only used by him
This one has Mortal Revolution, it used to be a Powerful AoE that stun at the same time
But we could evade it with Utsusemi, so it wasn't the wrost one
But at level 90 this NM became really weak, we defeated it in less than 5 minutes
All Salvage Boss drop 2 Armor level 25, the Armor from the Boss
You can upgrade your Salvage Armor with them
So this what look like a salvage run at level 90
It's a little sad that a hard and interesting event is now empty because it interest nobody anymore
But it was nice to do it again, if you wanted to try salvage, i hope this video will help you
Or if you just wanted to see what salvage looks like at level 90, i hope you liked this video
