That's not quite true. Shinryu does award an additional personal drop despite not being included on the list.
I should have asked, what does that comment mean and does anybody have ideas how it translates to Shinryu's drops? I'm pretty sure it doesn't award an additional personal drop for Shinryu. Regardless of campaign, I'm 90% sure on VD that it drops 2 REMA mat items (boxes, cases, etc.) to personal pool, for example.

Although it's typically only two, you currently get three personal drops from Shinryu VD indicating that he is affected by the campaign. Just did a few VD runs. 3rd personal drop is definitely open. No gear drops like usual.

That's the question I'm asking but it got a bit derailed by whether or not he is even affected by the campaign. I assumed it was common knowledge that he *is* but apparently he's not on the official list on the campaign announcement.
For the duration of the campaign, the number of personal drops in the following battlefields will be increased by one, and players will receive either
a pluton, a pluton case, a pluton box, a chunk of beitetsu, a beitetsu case, a beitetsu box, a riftborn boulder, a boulder case, or a boulder box. But the drop rate of armor during the campaign is higher too. From .01% to .02% before TH and .03% with TH! Just not part of the personal pool. Why do they even bother adding the singles to the campaign anyway? That's not very exciting. They could at least make it cases and boxes minimum. Oh wow... a whole pluton. Wheeeee.
"balance"
If every bot had a 100% chance of box instead of single everything would crash instantly.

I imagine it only affects the chance of a drop slot opening which would translate to nearly no benefit on VD Shinryu. . . but was curious if anybody had any concrete information.

Fenrir.Melphina said: » Why do they even bother adding the singles to the campaign anyway? That's not very exciting. They could at least make it cases and boxes minimum. Oh wow... a whole pluton. Wheeeee. Its based on difficulty. Lower difficulties get singles, Normal can be either single or box, and D/VD are always Box. It gives people who can't do the highest difficulty some bonus, though it's minimal. As Eiryl said, imagine if bots could just do VE and get a guaranteed box. You'd absolutely never be able to get into any battlefield because their army of characters would clog the zone trying for that 1 box/character freebie. looked for a bit couldnt find anything but bitching
Any ideas for a triple box D/VD setup? Asura.Toralin said: » looked for a bit couldnt find anything but bitching Any ideas for a triple box D/VD setup? RDM / THF / WHM? Well-geared RDM can solo VD, THF tags TH8+ and helps DD if you can, and WHM is self-explanatory. With hate reset I'm guessing there's a good chance the THF & WHM will die, so having a solo-capable job in RDM would be ideal over another DD. And you really want to land the Silences, though I guess WHM potentially could. Asura.Toralin said: » looked for a bit couldnt find anything but bitching Any ideas for a triple box D/VD setup? There's already a lowman strat in this thread of SAM WHM BRD. Like two minutes kills. You can use THF instead of SAM, or any other DD if you feel confident as healer.

You can use THF instead of SAM, or any other DD if you feel confident as healer. Can also you BLU instead of WHM for curing and DDing at the same time. Maybe, but it'd be more dangerous since you wouldn't have someone out of range to cure paralyze and doom.
Necro Bump Detected!
[82 days between previous and next post]Good riddance to Shinryu; I will not miss it now that AMAN has (mostly) killed it.
In about 1200 VD runs w/ TH4, I got 1 knife, 4 helms, and 4 scythes (though I didn't dbox my items immediately, so might have been a couple more duplicates if I had). I probably made over 500 million selling stuff, though, which is the only reason I kept going. That's good that you at least made lemonade.
I'm super curious what you'll pay for the cloak, I saw Orij sell one (the first one maybe?) for 400m I bought one for 200m.
I also forgot to count the thousands of REMA mat boxes Shinryu was giving, so I probably made over 600m. 200m for the cloak? *** me did I get lucky on AMAN then.

Update on Shinryu runs:
10 drops in 689 runs. 4/5 unique drops 4x Mail; 3x Scythe; 2x Helm; 1x Cloak Cloak finally dropped on kill #669 this Saturday.
