Hey, I'd like to know which recollections drop in which promys from the wanderers and weepers on the first floor.

It depends on which Promy you're in. Wanderers, Weepers, and Seethers (the latter of which you will not find on the first floor of a Promy) each drop one of the three different types of recollections.

For instance, in Promy A, Wanderers may drop recollection 1, Weepers may drop recollection 2, and Seethers may drop recollection 3. In Promy B, Wanderers may drop recollection 2, Weepers may drop recollection 3, and Seethers may drop recollection 1. If that makes any sense.

Most people choose Holla to do their rec farming, because the Wanderers drop Fear and the Weepers drop Pain, which make Psychoanima and Hysteroanima respectively (the two "useful" kinds).

Thank you :) Yet I don't know why Terro is considered useless?

Terro makes the boss run around for 30 seconds (self-kite). Although this can be useful in the 3 crag Promyvions, it can also get in the way of a successful Astral Flow or other spike 2-hour ability. It's a lot more useful in the boss battle in Promyvion-Vazhl, where you need to keep one boss mob busy while finishing off another.

Hope this helps, best of luck with your Promys! :)

Terro is great, not useless, even in the 3 basic crags. It makes the boss run for 30 seconds yes, but it won't get in the way of anything if you use it right. As in, right after your smn's use astral flow, or whatever. That way the boss kites itself for 30 seconds while people recover, and can get formed up for the next bout of astral flow.

Terro isn't useless but it's much more likely to screw your party up than actually help it. If you can't win with 6 shots of Psycho+Hystero your party has other problems anyway =/

A *well-timed* Terro can be useful in the 3 crags, but you have to plan out your timing to make sure that's the case. If you just have someone run in and go "HAY GUYZ I'M GONNA TERRO NAO LAWLZ" it'll likely cause more harm than good, especially where Astral Flow and WS's are concerned.

As Fynlar already mentioned, if 6 Psycho and 6 Hystero alone aren't enough for one of the three crags (Vahzl is different; as already mentioned, Terro is very useful there for dealing with the "next boss"), you've got problems anyway.

Anyway, for details of where to go for what:

Psychoanima - Recollection of Fear:
Wanderer - Holla
Weeper - Mea
Seether - Dem

Hysteroanima - Recollection of Pain
Wanderer - Dem
Weeper - Holla
Seether - Mea

Terroanima - Recollection of Guilt
Wanderer - Mea
Weeper - Dem
Seether - Holla

Regarding Vahzl, I *think* any mob there can drop any recollection (but Vahzl isn't a smart place to *farm* recollections in the first place).

Regarding Thinkers, Cravers, and Gorgers, I've seen the first-floor Thinker in Holla drop both Fear (Wanderer item) and Pain (Weeper item) - not at the same time though, it was on separate kills. So from this I suspect that these three mobs drop either a. all three recollections or b. the recollections corresponding to the local Wanderers and Weepers.

Ya, Terro is good in Vahzl to stall the next bosses. I just don't like it for the others because it forces you to plan your strategy around the Terroanima (making sure nobody fires WS or Astral Flow when they might get out of range, etc). Psycho+Hystero is pretty much "fire and forget".
