Glavoid shell 1/50!

Gieremund> key item, war head, dnc head, and magnus GKatana. nice drops for no !! procs.....just sucks i cant use any of them xD

12 Giremund
5 Pallid Percy
9 Berstuks with over half of them proccing grellow before the last damn seal dropped!!!





Finally done with this damn hat...

Got the AF3 +1 hands completed last night (finished THF and DRG hands over the past couple days). Wish I could find more info on the body though, as Dominion Ops have been less than useful.

According to BG, its actually "Increases Sneak Attack Damage" (mislabeled in the NA client...correctly on the JP one) and adds 15% DEX to SA damage just like the af +1 gloves for TA.



Should be easy enough to verify yourself.

I just did a short test of the AF+1 hands. (Thread here) They are definitely at least SA. All results are falling in line with a 15% dex boost on SA identical to the 15% agi boost on AF+1 for TA.

I have not had a chance to check TA on the off chance that it actually enhances both. Hope to verify that soon enough.

I too am much happier with them being SA hands instead of overlapping uses with AF+1 on TA.

It is not a 'tangible' accomplishment, but, by far, the most important in a long time for me. My pursuit of Twashtar is finally getting off the ground!

I finally found an efficient way to farm glavoid sets by myself! I had 2/4 KI to pop it on 1 char yesterday from random gold farming ages ago. By the end of the night i had completed that set and 3/4 on another (only missed the big worm because it was being camped by bsts all night ><). As soon as i catch him I will have a full complete 2 sets!

My war friend had been working on the same path for his Gaxe empyream and just dual boxes a whm and fell cleave farms EVERYTHING. Its completely absurd. He just gold farms en mass via fell cleave. I could never match that (A i had rdm instead of whm to dual box, B I only had thf and drg to really kill stuff with which cant match fell cleave spam).

I have been struggling with how to efficiently gold farm for months. So yesterday I said F it. I am going to complete the other half of the set my mule had (2/4). So i went out to tahrongi with thf and rdm, farmed up pops, popped, killed a few times for each NM (since i only got 1 red all night) and jsut spammed stuff till i got the KI. It went WAY faster than I thought. In ~3 hours I had finished my mules and gotten 3/4 on my main. This was after getting more key items before that in Vunkerl for Amhuluk pop (thf legs+2 go!).

I was always trying to find a way to goldfarm. Just going out and building up NM popsets by actually KILLING the NMs didnt really occur to me....the list looked so long (6 NMs total) and some seemed scary. They were all jokes. (And MUCH luv to SE adjusting repop timers on timed NMs like Adze!)

I also capped evasion doin this xD

Glavoid, you cockblock, beware! I be comin for ye! Twashtar here I come!

Banalaty, it's actually faster to fight the NM's if you want Glavoid sets than try and gold farm them, but fell cleave burns would be very effective gold farms. I won't lie, that's a good idea (actually blm -ga farming would be too... bats are mushy but getting amber still takes time.... damn adamantoise). You can buy pop items for the two force pops on auction, and I've duod Adze with a dancer friend. The Sodden Sandworm Husk requires a few mages, but repop timer on spawn nm's is 15 minutes so it's a feasible way to farm now. I duod Adze 3 times in an hour because the dancer wasnted the rdm neck which rarely drops, and we both got the sticky gnat wing. I'm going to farm key items just by NM battling rather than gold farming.

I can't say when I'll really be getting at my Twashter, but it should be fairly soon. I've promised a friend I'd get him Masamune if he helped me with Twashter in exchange, and we began Carborossa last night and he has many Creoin-Croin lanterns so it shouldn't be long. Once he finishes Masamune we'll begin Twashter farming. I have a small group myself to call upon, the core is myself, said dancer/rdm main's, and my friend who is best at war/blm/sam and several mage friends. I'm looking forward to the months ahead.

EDIT: in regards to my progress, I'm 5/50 Glav shell and 17/50 Itza scales. I Haven't even begun thinking about the atthwa boss, but ill get to him later. This path is literally 5-10 times more challenging than Masamune, but it's a fun ride and I'm having a blast. Itza is coming alone nicely, but I only recently began glav so I'm pleased with 5 shells.

Not a Great Accomplishment in fact but found interesting to mention.

Tossed yesterday some Dominion Notes to the NPC in Grauberg for an Yataghan (DMG: 35 Delay: 201 HP +24 Evasion +6)
And I got many good one but keep only one > DMG+3 & Crit.DMG+5% (and from what I see on wiki, I can get much better).

I still don't have a R.Sax, so this will replace my old beloved BD while working on seals and KI for the NM in Misareaux ^^

Atma of the Razed Ruin: Found it! So stoked. Don't have time to play with it tonight, but you can bet I will be tomorrow.

Grats bana. I also got a mars ring not too long ago. Was really excited then I saw this ring two days after I got mars:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Epona%27s_Ring
Every time when I think I am done with a particular set some new item comes along.

Edited, Dec 29th 2010 2:43pm by Breaze

Yeah, im no longer in a 'big' hurry to get eponas. Ill bask in the glory of the mars for a while :P

Now I gotta run some numbers on using mars for DE/Evis etc. Not sure how it compares to stat rings. That is a LOT of acc and a nice chunk of atk for the ever atk starved thf. Time to go figure out what other macros to stick it in.

As a side note, I can now actually tweak my utsu casting set now that I can shoot PAST the 26% gear haste cap. Can add in more eva gear or fastcast gear <3

Pheh! Mars' Ring was too cool for school back when I bought and sold it for 80->115m, kekekeke. /brag /gloat

Also they'll never let you upgrade it, those sadistic ****s

Edited, Dec 30th 2010 9:20pm by Shamaya

Twlight belt/knife and bunch of other twilight gear (scythe/helm/cape/torque) get!

- Raider's Culottes +2
- Rapidus Sax (& Atma of the Strangling Wind)
- Atma of the Gnarled Horn (& Kamome for my NIN)
<3 Misareaux ^^

Not a really major accomplishment, but I just came back after about 4 months off and I got 2 Raider's Seal: Hands last night off of the Buffalo NM in Ulegrande and atma of the GH a few days ago when members of my LS randomly invited me just for the atma. I am looking forward to trying to low man some of this stuff with my LS.

Wewt! Popped 3 glavoids this weekend. 15/50 on shells now. Starting to really get some traction on this thing ^_^

Also killed Rani with LS tonight and got myself Epona's Ring!

Now the hard part.....Do i TP in Raja, Epona, or Mars ring? Decisions decisions! I love even HAVING this choice xD

+1 Head, Hands, Legs, Feet
+2 Legs
Raider's Boomerang
Thunder Dakini+2

...and now, Triplus Dagger.

Had a really busy night last night.

Resheph win, so now 3/9 on zone bosses, got atma of the plague bringer too, using that over GH at the moment.
Upgraded Raider's Bonnet to +1
Grabbed another 2 Hand seals off of Adumbula last night putting me at 4/8.
Knocked out about 50 bees on my current flame dakini trial, down to 122 left to upgrade, really dreading the manticore trial.
My evasion skill is slowly but surely getting up there, got about 15 levels last night putting me at 338 at the end of the night. Looking forward to capping it.
Soloed 2x VT Bluffalo in Ulegrande last night trying to do dominion ops for my nin levels (I am at a gimp level 40). Had some bad luck on the IT ones, first one killed me @ 2% with a string of perfect accuracy interspersed with some TP moves to keep stunning my utsusemi recasts.

Edit: Post 1337... lol

Edit: again so I don't double post

Wow, what a week of accomplishment. First, Wednesday's LS event was basically a help Meldi session with 2 boss wins and an Iratham win. After the event, I got a few people to sick around to fight Usurper for Ocelot Trousers, I died at 2% and couldn't get back up fast enough so I didn't get the Atma of the Siren Shadow which was a secondary goal, but I did get my very own Kitty Pants (I know, not THE kitty pants).

Thursday I logged in, and there was a shout session going out in Jeuno for Ironclad Pulverizer and I jumped at the opportunity, assuming that it would be pretty boring and uneventful since you know, mnks fight everything... Boy was I wrong. Mnk was tanking the NM pretty well, then he got one shotted and the backup Nin tank went down too, and the whm had hate, so I stepped in, SAed the NM and then collaboratored the whm. Ended up tanking from about 60% down to 0. WHM realized I was tanking it at about 40% and started erasing slow and applying haste on me. @ 25% it hit me with some TP move that put me in "weakened state" so I popped flee and kited it for about 2 minutes while that wore off. I can now proudly say that I have Atma of the razed ruin!!!!! I feel like I earned it.

Next, it was off to Ahttowa chasm to hang out with LS mates and possibly fight Tunga for the last KI needed for Itza pop and another boss win. First they were doing a dragon NM. My first Sneak Attack with Razed Ruin did almost 1k damage!! AWESOME! We fought the drgaon NM a few times until someone got some pants, and then we headed off to tunga, on fireday no less so I get credit for my fire magian trial on the chigoes (vermin). We never got tunga, too much competition, but I did knock out 63 more vermin for my fire trial so now I need 62 more vermin to move on to the next trial, Manticores. I am now at 5/9 boss wins and 4/6 caturae wins. So soon I will be able to equip a third atma, which for now will probably be RR+SA+GH or RR+SA+Plaguebringer.

5/5 +2 on thf weeee happy cat

Did a few things with some old friends this weekend and ended up leaving with +1 feet (finally lol), Ballerines, serpintine hands/feet, a few new Atma (Stout Arm, some EVA/ATT one, MM, and some other random ones I didn't care about), some R.ACC/ATT back pieces, some R.acc/AGI neck piece and another zone clear (4/9 now). All that in about 5 hours on Sunday :)

YAY! 25/50 glavoid shells and hit 25/50 Itzpapa scales in the same night. Halfway to my ice cream cone dagger 2.0!

Also got 9/9 coins for +2 body finished last night......But only 6/10 on +1 seals xD Will jump straight to +2 at some point lol.

Very long night last night, but totally worth it.

Joined a pickup group to fight Attohwa boss last night, we get there and right before we pop, another group comes in and pops him and runs off, at the same time, guy with the pop set DCs. I wait a few minutes, and see that the group that popped it before is coming back to pop again, so I disbanded from pickup group and ran to where they were fighting. I ask in say for the win, and they invite me and I just sit there and watch its life go down. Full drops btw, but I leave pt as soon as they defeat it, run to the entrance of the zone, and BOOM!!! 3x Lunar Abyssites!!! Woooooooo!!!! Meanwhile, a group of friends if farming Miseraux and they inform me that they are going to do Criein-Croin, I warp out there and start helping them. Within minutes of entering, we claim Heqet and whittle him down pop red!! and get our first KI. We go to conflux 7 and Pieste NM is up, so we pull that and I pop red !! almost immediately, after that we pull lizard NM and same, my cyclone pops red !! right at the start.

I run back to Heqet and we get another pop on him, along with a lancer's seal for my legs. Next we head to Minax Bugard and finish the Sobek popset that we were farming, easy peasy. Another Heqet later, we head over to lantern fish and start farming cheekmeats, we get 4 pops on that and start popping little CC while another group is killing zone boss. After we finish those, other group is still fighting CC, so I might have taken some "initiative" and gone and pulled flame skimmer... lol, I need my abyssite of Furtherance.... Fight is pretty hairy there for a while, not much curing coming my way, probably because I pulled it when I wasn't supposed to, but my evasion is pretty much capped so it wasn't too bad, I ended up using a fools powder at one point, convieniently timed right before some AoE moves to keep us alive while the healing wasn't coming, nin manages to proc red literally @ 1% life, so we end up with a shiny abyssite for our trouble!!! Yay!!

CC went off with only one small hitch, AoE charm @ ~40% that got all 3 of us Melees, took down our whm pretty quickly and then chased after our rdm for a bit before charm wore off. Procced red and grellow pretty quickly, and were rewarded with full drops on him. I didn't stay for the other pops, because by this time it was 1:30am, but I assume that it went pretty well. I am now 8/9 on bosses, and 4/6 on Caturae. Looking forward to Sedna/Sippoy doouble duty soon in LS, and then last one I need is Raja.

Finally got the boys together and popped the 5 glavoids I had been working with them individually to get over the last couple weeks. 5 glav, 9 shells. My TH was doin pretty good tonight ^_^ 34/50 now. Only 16 left!!!!!

It finally feels like its close! /excited!

Twashtar!!!!!! (lv 80). That bastard glavoid can go be fat fish bait now!
Also got 27 inv back! (Turned in my 27 itza scales for the 85 version i had been sitting on!)

Now to get my last 23 itza scales and then have some REAL fun!
