Nope, it works exactly as I said it does. This has been known for over half a decade now, going on nearly 8 years. The earliest testing on the omen boss drop tables was being done in 2017, and it was confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt relatively quickly (at least in terms of how fast the community universally comes to an agreement on obscure things). Just look at the bgwiki page

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Kin

The drop table is listed right there, and if you look at the page history you'll see this info was added as early as 2018. Dagon breastplate will always load at a fixed rate. This is 100% fact. We've observed this list to be accurate for far too long. Scale, grip, and ring are all uncommon drops within the slot, while dagon breastplate is the ultra rare load. It is what it is.

I'm not sure where you're hearing this from. Nobody in my shell has said that for the longest time. The second drop slot can sometimes be a scale, so there are runs where you get NO accessory drops and instead just see 2 scales. But whenever one of the accessories loads, it always loads in place of the lower scale. And that slot always loads. It's 100% to show up. And whenever dagon breastplate loads, in every instance, in every screenshot (and there have been multiple screenshots of it), its always in the same location. See for yourself.

Taken from a screenshot on the dagon breastplate page on this very site. The only thing treasure hunter affects is whether or not you get the moonbow steel to load. And nobody gives a crap about that.

within Omen, TH increases the occurrence of a second item from Ou, but does not make hands drop any more frequently. it also increases the drop rate of swarts substantially, of course. that's it.

Ou is probably the only thing you really want to have thf build TH on in current game, everything else it either doesn't work or is easier to just pop another NM.

Ou is the one exception to the treasure hunter rule. Ou has a different drop table where treasure hunter does have an impact. Ou is the ONLY catuare treasure hunter affects, and on OU you DO want a thief and you DO want some treasure hunter procs.

The other 5 catuares however.. treasure hunter sadly doesn’t help on

Oh yeah, you're right. Shows how much attention I pay. I didn't play for years while Omen was new content so never really looked into it. Definitely seen people say TH increases body drop. Since it doesn't nvm about THF then, back to dropping it on WAR in 5mins with ease and RIP THF.

Puppetmaster. I started this job when it first came out and every one lolpup me. It was new and no one knew how to use it well. So I fell in love with the job because it was just me and my pet hannya.

I started an old adventure of soloing NM pup videos and some ballista to prove to the world ? that pup is not a bad job if used right. Every event and party i was not invited too i solo it all like VNM etc. ( keep in mind this was back 2007 or so when ever the job came out).

I no longer play but I do pop in when free event start to see how things going once in a blue moon.

Hopefully my mission is completed and people started accepting the job.

Here one of my fight back in the day. Iam sure a naked 99 brd can solo any of these now n days but things was different before
