So now, aside getting the armory crate reward we also get direct drops from nms?

For the 15 min battles (phobos orb) 8 items drop immediately to your loot pool.
Typically these are:
2x Spell scroll (usually AM, but I've gotten Phalanx and Utsu:Ni, as well as some Geo stuff like Indi-Malaise and ThundaraII). Note that they can be duplicates of the same rare scroll, so you'll lose one if you are soloing.
1x Bonanza Kupon S
1x Mog Garden/Mosntrosity item (e.g. Monarch Beetle Saliva)
1-2x Crafting item (e.g Hydra meat, Coral fragment)or Synergy fuel
Last 2 slots appear to be either +2 Abyssea upgrade items, or pouches of WoE weapon upgrade items (seen both coins and liminals)
Popping chest gives same drops/gil as normal.

did they take the level caps off of these battlefields? Looks like they did from the play online screen shot

don't think any kindred crest or high kindred crest battlefields ever had a level cap on them.
Also I did 3 different battlefields and all of the battles seemed to drop very similar things, not sure if the AF3+2 mats are specific to each battle field as I got all different AF3+2 mats. Only got a Coupon S. I got a chocobo wand in place of the seed drop slot on one of my battles. I also did not see any dynamis currency which it says can drop.

* During this campaign, the ratio of seals needed to be traded to Shemo in Port Jeuno (H-8) will decrease from 3:1 to 2:1.
Does this also works for KSNM 99 and other fights, or is it just for the battlefields they've listed off on the link above?

Has nothing to do with orb cost. Its amount of seals needed to convert to the desired seals. Instead of being 3 kindreds for 1 beastman/k.crest/hk.crest its now 2 to 1. Applies for all seals.

I solo'd "The V Formation" a few times and only got coin types of Abyssea upgrade items. Do different Kbattlefields only drop specific types(Coin, card, etc)?
Edit: "The Palborough Project" dropped only Jewels. Also, no dyna currency from any of the KC30s I have done.

Great way to SE completely destroy prices.
Extremelly good to new/poor players, extremelly bad for anyone who farm those for money, absurdely bad for anyone who had any of the new common drops yesterday but didnt sell.
Amazed me how undercutters are desperate. Its ok going down step by step, but what happened to phalanx here on bahamut is bizarre: yesterday it was selling for 3m, last buyer payed 90k...
Well time to buy those and ungimp my rdm...
EDIT: also, think about anyone who payed 3m for phalanx yesterday...

Best idea is to just hold onto the rare drops, imo. The campaign lasts 3 days and prices should normalize eventually.

Youre totally right.
Anyone a bit smart will buy any scroll, send to mule and buy again, to sell in the future. Then the prices will keep going up and down.
SE is playing too much with ffxi economy.
Normally this dont end well.

Are the drops just random or is it a certain zone that drop some of the items? Like where is Phalanx droping?
By Inference 2013-10-11 16:23:31
Anyone gotten Provenance/Legion abjurations? I've gotten 3 Supernal (head, legs, feet) from a few rounds of Shell Shocked, going to try other beastmen ones to see if abjurations are based on what battle you're doing. Many Kupon S and one Kupon L(sea capes or neck) so far, no dynamis currency outside of the randoms that come from the chest.
Edit : Not collecting data on Abyssea +2 items as I have no use for them and its already too late to figure out which zone which upgrade pieces have come from.

Gotten a corvine head abj. from Orc-Shunned Hero.
Phalanx seems to drop all over, but Horlais peak has been especially generous for me.
This event is *** nuts. The sheer volume of drops is overwhelming.
Btw. Any BST's tried soloing Shell Shocked? DY can supertank Orc-shunned like a boss (iLvl 115 gear only too), but not sure how well it'd go with RDM and BLM NM's in the mix. I suspect GG will handle the nukes pretty comfortably but would like to hear a testimonial before using seals there when I can make good gil elsewhere.
By Lycin 2013-10-11 16:58:44
Just did "The V Formation" x2. Phalanx x2, Raise 3, Coin of Ruin pouch, Kupon s x2 and Flock earring x2. No ABJ or namis coins.

Haven't seen any dynamic currency outside of the crates that already drop them.
Not sure if SE messed up or it is just uncommon.

Not sure if pointless or... yea it is pointless.

I RDM Solo'ed Shellschocked just now took 7minutes and wasn't in any real danger except for when their hits landed mid gearswap. They dropped Ustu:Ni Phalanx and Meteor. I think a BST would do fine. For reference my RDM was in skirmish gear so if your BST is also decked in skirmish gear you should be fine.

Thanks. As it turns out, another stupidly easy fight on BST.
By Inference 2013-10-11 18:33:52
Exclusively Transitory abjurations from Yagudo BCs. Out of 20 or so runs got 6 abjurations total, scarletite ingot and sercia cloth. The rest was pretty much garbage : random +2 items(not even enough of one kind to finish anything anyways), a lot of cooking 100+ materials, and too many phalanx/utsu:ni/random scrolls to count...sold most of my utsu's at the new crashed price and just held onto two for a possible increase...with player numbers being so drastically down I don't expect a price jump in the near future.

I've been doing a bunch of these fights so far.
Tons of Ancient Magic scrolls, Utsusemi Ni, Cooking 100+ synth mats and Empyrean +2 upgrade items.
Some of the more interesting stuff I've gotten has been Walk of Echoes stuff. A pouch of Liminal Residue, and a pouch of Advancement Coins.
I'll report more drops as I get them. HOPING for a Meteor/Arise scroll or a Scarletite Ingot to sell.

Gotten a corvine head abj. from Orc-Shunned Hero. Exclusively Transitory abjurations from Yagudo BCs. Got Transitory abjuration: hands from Avian Apostates. Possibly a correlation between type of abjuration and Deimos Orb (50 kindred's crests) battles?
My Phobos Orb x2 (30KCs) did not drop any abjuration.
By Alpheus 2013-10-11 19:05:38
Got a Bonanza Kupon L which is for obtaining Sea Torques/Capes I'm unaware of where it precisely dropped though. The only fights I've done today was Palborough Project, Shellshocked and Mobline Comedy.
This event supposedly starts today. Any deets?
