So we did 5 Behemoths and none of them dropped the pop item for King Behemoth. We had fully merited thief for all the fights. Anyone have a better drop rate or suggestion?

From what I've heard the drop rate seems to be 1 in 7 ish.
Which is pretty in line with what the NQ to HQ rate used to be like when they were timed spawns.

Kindred's Seals have been able to be stored at the NPC for ages, long before Crests were released. The bigger question is why would anyone toss Seals when they take 0 inventory space.

Why on earth would you do this...
Even if you didn't know you could store them with Shami for free (how are people still this uninformed?), why toss them?
You can make a decent amount of gil spamming ksnms.
Mind... Blown.

Just FYI, I am thinking we are having a bit of a dry run on Fafnir, because we are now 1/24. We have done 3 farming sessions, the first one we went 1/11 and have not seen a sweet tea since. Ridills and speed belts have eluded our LS on all these pops also.

That's nonsense, maybe the drop rate is 1 to 7, but to say that kings spawned at an average at 7 days is a gross estimation.

Speed belt drops from the Wyrm BC, though.

Edit: Answered.

Feel bad for the OP, I went 0/3 on KB Pop, but went 1/1 on Nidhogg (who also dropped my beard), and 1/2 on behe tongue from KSNM.

The drop rate for HQ pop item is pretty low, however, Its not a great fix, but apparently they're looking into ways for us to trade Seals for another seal, so I'll probably be downgrading my HKC to KS if i can...

Just need that Damned Egg.

Being gimp gets you drops, and helps you win lots.

Its a proven fact. Show up in some gimp armor, fight gimp, be gimp, don't know where to go, what to fight, how to get there, bring no meds, no echo drops/etc.

You will absolutely win lot, or get the best item from the KSNM. GUARANTEED

You have the best chance of getting BB items from the KS99's themselves and selling the pops for gil.

If you were after D.rings good luck with that, they just became extremely rare.

What are fair prices for the HQ kings? I mean if you run out of kindred's seals and at this time you can't trade them in, that kind of becomes your only option and I'm just curious what they're going for.

You have no idea! When I still played (recently quit lulz) one of those gimps teamed up with us for a Jorm run we were having fun with. He was on NIN in like, full pink and ***and he kept trying to tank against my vere MNK. Entire time he's standing out of range when jorm's on the ground then runs in (Without a resist set or anything I might add.) when jorm starts flying, and he says "he's tanking so we don't wipe" :( It was so sad knowing idiots like this get everything.

2/4 on KB pops personally. 0/2 on D ring. When we fought behemoth I just let bela (thf) solo it so she could have as much time as possible to proc TH. Maybe you're zerging it down too fast? No point in having anyone else except the THF meleeing it. I just stood in front/back so she could TA for TH proc.

With that said, I'm sure we've just been lucky with drops and now we won't get any drops for 5+ :|. Anyway, hope this helps.

I'm guessing this has already been established somewhere by someone since last week's version update, but just in case ...



Behemoth Tongue and the new Beastly Shank item can both drop from the same Themis Orb.

K seal where here since level 50 cap and the storage npc only was introduced mid of ToAU upgrade.
