Any suggestions on fast seal farming? Been soloing in various areas today but only got around 8 seals in total ._.

You can only get a seal every 5 min... lol. Unless you have other people in your party, you'll get 1 additional seal per member in your party. But again, 1 every 5 min if I'm not mistaken.

Seal drops in Escha have been good to me.

IF you can enter meebles in a timely manner (not possible on my server) and you can clear a zone quickly you can get around that 5 min timer thing. Also I believe there's a campaign happening right now where you get multiple seals to drop at once. I'm not sure if that requires extra people in your party (it might). I've farmed ~200 kc, ~200 hkc, and 20 sc while spamming meebles in the past few days (in a party of two).

No, it's not. After receiving a seal drop, the slot is locked for 5 minutes. With a party, you get a seal slot for each person in party during the event. So, a group of 6 can receive up to 6 per 5 minutes.

Zoning will reset this timer when solo. Disband > Zone > Zone Back > Reform will reset it for party.

I recall that for alliances, that rule extends to each individual party, seemingly based on which party got the kill. Therefore, with a full alliance (good luck), you'd generally get 3 instances every 5 min where multiple seals would drop. Probably the only place you'd see anything like that would be an Abyssea party.

Yea, the party that got the killshot will use their seal chance. Not that it generally matters, but if seals are your goal and you have an alliance you should distribute DD evenly between the parties to get the most chance.

You can also make an alliance of 3 where each is a party leader to get a significant boost to chances, but it doesn't actually help with the seal event on since each person gets a slot anyway.

Probably faster and more productive to pick up a job and level it and get seals along the way lol.

If you don't have any plans for your login points during this latest campaign, you could spend some of them on beastman/kindred seals in the 10 point category. Then make use of the 2:1 event and convert them into Kindred Crests or w/e you need.
