So i decided to get Flame Gear in hopes it will improve my LHC exp. Nessa didn't really want Wind Piercing, other than maybe lev 1 just for looks, but she joined me in the hunting <3. Here are the results so far.
Dews: took us about... 2 2hour events with cards, so 8hours total, 4 of those 4x drop and 4 2x. I think we had done some random 30 minute buffs before, which only got me 1 dew, and her nothing.
Since the dews are class specific, we tried a system which consisted in each of us taking a channel, and switching every 3 minutes to check for dews on each other's map. This worked pretty well. So well, in fact, that 1 dew was wasted, because when i was only missing my last one, I came into her map and found 2 of them. We did this on 2 (M) Rabbit maps in different channels, rather than just switch between the (F) and (M) maps in a single channel, because since our first couple dews were from (M) Rabbits, and most of the screenshots I had seen were on that map, it would seem like somehow they have a better droprate than (F).
On to the orbs.
We started at Poison Poopas, because the spawn seemed much better than the Ultra Gray spawn, both at Kulan Field V and the Hidden Street map. Nessa got 3 or 4 dews on 1x drop and relatively fast. In all this time, I didn't get any, and then got one at Ultra Grays. We then hunted for the Aussie 4hour 2x event, with 2x cards and Lucky Winters. Nessa finished her orbs in less than 2 hours, while it took me the full 4 hours to get 9, and got the last one later on a Family Buff.
For the 2nd Aussie 4hour event, we headed to Cube Slimes (again, with cards and Winters). After not getting any orbs in 30 minutes, we moved to Blue Serpents. Nessa got all 10 in less than 2 hours, and it took me a bit longer, maybe 2 and a half hours. Then we went to Pandas for the 3rd set, and after no orbs in 30 minutes, moved to Mutaes. We shared the map, and Nessa got all 10 orbs within 30 minutes. I only got 7.
For yesterday's 2hour 2x event, Nessa started hunting Bone Fish, while i finished getting my 3rd set of orbs. I joined her at Bone Fish about 45 minutes into the event. She finished within the 2 hours of the event, and I ended up with 6 orbs (This was also with card and Winters).
Either she's extremely lucky, and I'm very unlucky, or the items' droprate among classes vary, making it harder for some jobs than others. This could explain why even after the quests were fixed, warriors seem to get everything faster than other people.
