Shadow broth...Follow

Plese tell me this isn't hippogryph ._.;;

Its got to be lucky or shadow broth. And lucky broth requires a 100 skill legendary fish that can break LuShangs, so we're screwed either way. WTF.

Only two Abaia have ever sold on Phoenix at the ah....

The fish aren't a problem. The moment there's demand, all the Ebisu owners will come out of woodwork and get tons of them. It happened with Lik and Gugrusaurus, and those are lvl 120+ fish. I'm sure the prices will start at 60-80k per fish though. But they'll go down. I used to sell Liks for 100k a pop back when I was pretty much the only supplier, now you're lucky to get 15k for them.

There was no demand for lesser chigoe at ah before dipper came out either.
you could buy a stack for like 3k iirc

Now it's like ~220k/stack... Like the poster above mentioned, we're screwed either way.

Unless Abaia are a lot harder to fish up than Ryugu Titans, I'm not especially worried about them, even with no Ebisu. Not surprising if people haven't been selling them, they weren't good for anything. As for Agaricus, there's a note on wiki saying that the Funguars in Abyssea - La Theine have a pretty good drop rate for them.

Are there recipes for the other three jugs somewhere?

turtle seems to have roughly 2500~3000 HP @ lvl 96. zeta nealy heals all its hp -.-

Hippo jug seems better than dipper at everything except its like 5x the price to make. Haven't used any of the other new jugs yet. If anyone else has, does the adamantoise at least have a boatload of defense? Seems pretty lackluster if not :/

I couldn't say for certain but it did look like it got TH. The drops looked "normal" when I used it instead of a ladybug in dynamis earlier

Hmm. I haven't really done anything that'd be considered a hard BST solo these days, had other things on my mind, but the evasiveness of Yuly + TH + better damage (I remember someone saying) + a higher HP pool... Sounds like this could be the favored jug for a lot of things.

I still kinda hope some of the other jugs have their own edges though, otherwise it'll feel too much like the old days of Crabs Crabs Everywhere. How does Hippogryph compare to, say, Gorefang Hobs for pure DD?

Tiamat.
There's a vid out on it.

also, since no one checks the jug testing thread (where many of the questions are answered)... boost makes the hits in next attack round to 4x damage. I was able to do crits of 3k in abyssea misareux w/ falcorr on test server this way. and triple attacks often at 1.2k each hit.

I posted my dd testing of falcorr and yuly at level 98/99 also. falcor's base damage is jsut ahead, and its very clear that the triple attack rate is better.
The only thing I'm not sure of is if the eva rate is as high.

defensive stuff is actually hardest to test. Well, maybe not hardest, but you need a large sample.

First, its good to have monster gloves, so you tighten the level which you are testing. this way its only a level 98 or 99 pet if its uncapped. The easiest way for defensive stuff, like eva is just to parse it with kparser.
You just need a large enough sample size. I think 1000 is big enough... I think. you take the pet and fight stuff so that 1000 hits are done against it. (this can be done manually... but thats a huge pain). Count up the number of hits and misses against your pet. the larger the sample,the more precise. I"m thinking awahondo in ule might be a good mob to do this on. if you don't add any agi, or eva+ atma and just cap the damage mitigation and regen, you can get alot of hits from a high acc mob, then switch pets w/out killing it.

might do the same w/ a player tanking awahondo w/ a known evasion and a whm to compare to other players, but the above should be a pretty decent test for eva comparison between falcorr and yuly.

I'm hoping that monster gloves +2 will mean the pet will always be level 99. That would be great for testing purposes.

I love Falcorr...just a complete badass. Pricy as hell but a great jug, nonetheless. If I were to have another child, it's name would be Falcorr. Yes, I have that much of a jug-crush on him.

But, speaking of the Shadow Broth...Baby Genbu...he showed me something very impressive this weekend. Maybe this is a common occurence, but I watched him take down Turul after he landed on my face in Aby Konsh. He has some nice magic resistance, as Turul tried, but just could not beat him. Slower than hell, though..my gawd Baby Genbu...hit the damn treadmill!

Love the new jugs, but I need to whore out the old lady to pay for them...
