HEy guys I am going to ask a huge favor in this... I am now part of a Salvage linkshell do you guys think you can lend a hand with an Aht Urgan Mission or 2 so that i can get closer to unlocking it for this weekened?

I read a lil bit this looks like a blast, I wonder if we have an alliance of 65's and higher, Instead of doing a zone and killing we should do this there are also great rewards of armor much like Assaults, I guess the only difference is level wise. Also I dont promoting cheating but kinda a way to get around more outta assault and Salvage we can do whats called stacking so that we can do 4 runs each week, your only allowed 3 passes on each one (i believe maybe daily Im not sure on this), but if you already have a pass before you start your allowable 3 you can actually manage to do 4 runs each time. so weekly this would be alot of fun and help out everyone with gear. and rewards. Mostly fun. i think we would need about a month before we were good at them but once we were we could profit.

bam thats not cheating at all. with assaults you can get 3 passes per real day. you grab one on the previous day, and you can only have one pass at a time. so by the next day, you will have your pass, plus 3 more available.

we did this with assaults sometimes, since it is very quick and easy to repeat, just hop into the runic portals.

yes salvage also has some really nice (let me emphasize, REALLY, REALLY, SHEXY...*DROOL* ARES SET...) rewards that are also RARE/EX like in assault.

edit: bam you are right, i am pretty close to salvage access. i am on mission 4, and i need to be mission 17 for access. but 8 of the missions between 4 and 17 are just cutscenes, so thats good. next i need g3 so i can reach 65!

did a little homework on salvage and for the first couple times we will prolly get owned (only the first couple times) till we get the hang of how we wanna distribute the cells to unlock ...well just about everything, when u enter salvage ur weapons, armor, magic and subjob all get locked, (forget if JA's and items do as well) it is STRONGLY recomended that your H2H skill is pretty decent until u can use ur weapons. most sought after job for this is mnk (for obvious resaons), drg is good for the first couple levels of salvage, u use call wyvern b4 u enter and that little blue beast will tear **** up, unfortunately eventually the mobs get too strong and ur wyvern dies from AoE's too rapidly to be worth anything, idc, id still go in as drg, cuz im a DRG 4 LIFE!!!!!!

Yes certian thigns will also lock your Ja and Items Which stinks because I have like h2h 8 Because of my Monk 2 But it varies from time to time Because there are certian thigns if i remember reading right that allows for weapons

The inability to use certian items is a Status Effect Which are status effects Used by certian creatures or salvage itself im not sure

no its not monsters its salvages itself, when u enter the salvage area everything gets locked, by defeating monsters that drop cells u can unlock them, there is a sprecific cell for each thing that is locked

Go for assault, Salvage is dreadfully expensive >,< to complete a body(ares,morrigans,marduks,skadi,usukane) You need to trade te 3 armor pieces plus............. 12 Imperial Woots Ingots(800k a piece) + 10 Imperial Gold Pieces(roughly 600k)...... those 12 ingots will be around 9.6mil >,< i just wanna warn people cuz i got my friend into my salvage LS about 2 months ago now hes stuck with 3 body pieces that are worthless until he has about 9mil more than he has, lmao

this is very depressing to get into without the gilz to create ur final piece

remember assaults are 100% free =D

wow that is insane, had no idea those ingots cost that much, i saw a pld with the ares mask and body piece on /drool so i figured they couldnt cost that much..... man if only the friggen economy wouldnt have crashed, i would actually be able to afford that stuff, i would much rather spend that 9 mil toward a gungnir iif i ever get a dynamis shell cuz that might just be enuff to get the 16 X 100 byne bill pieces since i see them being sold for 600k

ok...wait a minute, WAIT A MINUTE...HOLD UP...body is insanely expensive, but other parts arent as much, like the head

looking at the ares' mask, it requires:

3 armor salvage armor peices
12x orichalium ingots
10x imperial gold pieces

orichalium ingot is 160k each, x12 = 1.92mil
imperial gold pieces are 1000 IS, so 10,000 IS for 10 (10 gold peices do not cost 600k...thats close to the price for 100)

1.92mil isnt too bad, i've never had that much gil at once, but im sure i could obtain that. the head piece looks like its the second most expensive...the hands cost about 1mil in crafted materials, the feet and legs cost less than 200k each in crafted materials.

so other than the body armor, it isnt too bad. im still down for salvage.
