veg can you give me your strat for ulhuadshi? I need farm about 15 drops a week, since I have a guy helping me get 10-15 buds a week, so obviously any faster than that is not needed lol 
unless its really that easy. I only have mnk blu and pup to play, so a start with them be best ....

10-15 a week? It really doesn't take any time at all for Ulhua. Took me 2.5 weeks of straight grinding to finish Chloris. Finished Ulhua in 2.5-3 days.
Ulhua is pretty straight forward.
Mnk + whm would be able to win. I'd grab a thf blm and a blu for TH and procs however. I'd shout for them, would get ppl pretty quickly.
Pull it to where you won't get fucked by aggro from little worms, more than one spot to do this.
Have mages stand outside of aoe range.
Thf sneak attack trick attack for TH procs and then back out of aoe range till ready to do so again.
MDT build as necessary, etc. Not a hard fight.

good to hear! ya will only get 10-15 buds a week avg, so saw no reason to grind it any faster than that. Have you started lv90? If so have a good strat for that too? Would assume same since abys seems same get a mnk+whm and w/e else is icing lol.

I've gotten a few scales but not rly going to go hard on it till they patch scales (drop rate borked atm). And of the time I've done it, I've only joined /shout groups for it that wanted other stuff haven't went independently, so can't give any info regarding that atm.

ah well np.
Oh had one last question for uld. Farming the pop set did you gold box it, or kill both nms? I know for one you can only get from killing, the hecteye? mnk+whm on him has no problems?

/slap Azagarth. Could have just asked me in LS 
For Dragua, I did it MNK BRD WHM. The only other guy I know on Bismarck with 90 Verethragna did it MNK WHM WHM. Wing range is 30', so you will need to position yourself accordingly keeping the WHM in range to cure and BRD out of range of wing unless playing songs. Keep up Barstonra and Barpetra. I found March x 2 to be more effective than March + Carol. Most annoying thing about Dragua is Horrid Roar. Dispels all buffs including food. He also gains crazy evasion/defense at times. I wanna say it's triggered by Geotic Breath but I'm not 100% sure. During this time I don't think it's worth it to WS and would save TP until I noticed damage returning to normal. It will be a long fight trio, especially if he decides to spam roar... and you definitely will kick yourself after if no scales drop. If you can find another strong DD it will speed up the fight a lot. With my Kannagi NIN friend we were killing it in anywhere from 3-12minutes depending on roar/terror spam. Always popped Stalwarts when I had it and 2HR'd BRD songs when I could to speed up kills (pray for no roar spam!!!). Since he will do Horrid Roar pretty much at least once per fight, I used Mithkabobs for food. Dragua drops a fanatic's powder, so you'll have 1 each time you fight.
Low man is definitely preferred here since it spams AOE. I would recommend bringing 1 WHM per DD so that both can stay engaged the whole time. With 1 WHM and 2 DD, MP can become an issue. Of course, if you can, bring a THF for TH and necessary grellow proc'ers if you want +2 items.
Drop rate is broken like Tiger mentioned. I think the most kills in a row I went without a scale was 5. Even a single Card of Wieldance (3x Drop) is not guaranteed (even with grellow). If you're doing Dragua for jewels right now, good luck. I got 9 total in the amount of kills it took me to get 75 scales. On the bright side, the KI needed is easy to farm. Hazhdiha pops in the same area and you can get it out of gold boxes.
Hope that helps.
