Does anyone know the lore on why Salvage area Arrapago Remnants can only be entered once per real life day, but the other 3 areas can be spammed? I always get confused when I do mythic trials if I'm going to forced to wait a couple days to complete

"Congestion"

Heres a more useful answer:
Arrapago II was the RMT hotspot as well as the hotspot of people cheating to farm alexandrite. There was a way to go back to 5f and repeatedly farm the Gears that pop from the Ramparts that are guaranteed one alex. This only worked in Arrapago (or atleast was the only area worth doing it in), and instead of SE fixing the problem at the root cause, they issued a one day lockout (or maybe they also fixed the problem, I'm not risking it to find out). Theres no reason for this lockout to still exist in 2024, nor has there been any reason for said lockout since the implementation of Ambuscade.

For whatver reason, I dont believe this exploit worked on the last boss that was guaranteed a Linen.

I was, misread that.

Are there any grips more powerful for physical WS than Utu Grip?

Nope and 2nd place isn't even close

What even is 2nd place?

Bloodrain/Nepenthe+1 or a Duplus, yeah, 10+ year old still the only other options.

Rigorous+1 with augs is actually reasonable as a second place. 19 STR 45 attack

rigorous wins in sims a lot with low buffs, but isn't as attractive to tp in.

How come Harvesting Nodes suck so much donkey butt? They keep disappearing on me completely the second I hop off my mount to start harvesting.

They don't do this. Harvesting, Mining, Logging points all disappear when you use them (% chance, usually after 2-3 items in my experience). They will never disappear unless someone interacts with them.

Tell that to the harvest points that are literally disappearing on me?

toggle wire frame to check if some bot is harvesting the point right under your butt.

Adoulin ones definitely move on their own.
