Assassin's Armlets, Dyna-Tav vs. Dyna-Xarc droprates?

[Zoltar]

Hey all, most recently my LS started farming Dynamis-Tavnazia more recently for the awesome -1 drops and great relic there. I'm like the only THF in LS still w/o TH4 and I was wondering just one thing, how common a drop would you THINK Assassin's Armlets is vs the droprate in Xarcabard?

We will start farming Tav at least once/week, with the occasional Xarcabard/DL. Do you think I have a good shot at a drop from Tav? Way we do it is, best attendance = Tav alliance, the spillover goes to farm a city dynamis, ie: sandy/bastok/windy

Everyone always says Xarcabard is the best for TH4, but then against not as many do Tav (I would think?) Possible that both have equalish droprates? In Tav it drops off Kindred mobs...

Any opinions would be appreciated, esp those saying where you got ur TH4 for comparison

Armet's dropped last night on the first 4 mobs last night, My LS has sold 5 in the past month and a half, so I'd say Xarc.
I've done maybe 20ish Tav's and have never seen them drop once from there.

If you're purely going for Xarcabard relic the answer is obvious.
Dynamis Xarcabard.

We're talking 2 hours farming in a zone that drops Beaucedine as well as Xarcabard as well as -1 Legs and Bodies as well as Hydra gear.
And to get the maximum Xarca AF farming time you'll need to farm beaucedine mobs first.

VS.

Up to 4 hours of farming in a zone which only drops Xarcabard drops.

As far as the droprate of any AF pieces itself goes, it's completely random.

Thanks for the replies so far, seems like everyone wants to believe that it never drops in Tav, which I'm hoping can be proved wrong lol We have Xarc in a couple weeks, should be interesting

I've done an assload of Dynamis and only had armlets drop once in Tav. Now Xarc, numerous times..so often they were free lot.

Xarc is just miles easier than Tav anyway, so you're going to see better results from doing Xarc anyway. I have seen them drop, but as has been said, there are the other things that drop in that zone which compete with a "slot" to drop. (For lack of a better term.) Which isn't to say that some mobs don't drop two items (because they do) but while you may get lucky, your luck will be a lot better in Xarc.

No drop last night >.>

Some nice other drops, MNK Body, DNC Body, BRD Legs, BRD Legs -1, Corsair Legs -1, Hydra Feet (the smn/blm/whm ones)

Hopefully next Monday's Tavnazia run will be better
