    Introducing the Second Collaboration Event!

    http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics...18/detail.html

    Thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the first event celebrating one year of DRAGON QUEST X Online, the official release of FINAL FANTASY XI: A Realm Reborn, and eleven years of FINAL FANTASY XI, we are pleased to bring you the second entry in this collaborative event!

    Event Period
    Tuesday, March 18, 2013, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Wednesday, April 9 at 7:00 a.m.

    DRAGON QUEST X ONLINE
    The wandering sage Horro has once again boarded the Astoltia Ark to set sail for Vana'diel, where he hopes to buy ever more of its delectable treats. This time, the slimes made sure to get permission before boarding, but their cousins—the she-slimes and metal slimes—have snuck onboard too...



    Event Details
    1) Talk to one of the slimes in the following areas to participate:
    Southern San d'Oria (K-9) / Bastok Markets (E-10) / Windurst Woods (H-11)



    2) Catch slimes located in the wilds of Vana'diel!
    Slimes can only be caught after adventurers get gooed-up with magic cast by friendly slimes located in the following areas:
    East Ronfaure (G-6) / South Gustaberg (J-7) / East Sarutabaruta (G-11)



    Players will be able to attack and capture slimes while under the influence of these grimy incantations. Capturing slimes will rewards players with slime coins.
    * Players' levels will be reduced to one while under the effects of the slime magic.
    * Players will be unable to attack or receive attacks from other monsters for the duration.

    3) Trade coins for items!
    Slimes located within city walls will trade the following items in exchange for slime coins:
    30 coins:
    ???*

    20 coins:
    ???*

    15 coins:
    ???*
    Slime Cap

    10 coins:
    Slime Shield
    Slime Fetish

    5 coins:
    Slime Earring

    1 coin:
    Metal Slime Candy
    She-slime Candy
    Slime Rocket
    Slime Candy

    * These items will become available for purchase once a player, his party, or his alliance has slain she-slimes or metal slimes. Metal slimes will occasionally appear when vanquishing slimes or she-slimes.



    Players will also be able to acquire metal slime and she-slime spirits by fulfilling certain conditions.
    Once acquired, trading one of these items to Suibhne in the Feretory while possessing a slime will enable the player to unlock the relevant type of slime.



    FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn
    Despite the moogles' best efforts to contain the spriggan threat, the long-eared beasties' cousins have now come to Vana'diel as well! Are they friend...or foe?



    Event Details
    1) Talk to one of the moogles in the following areas:
    Southern San d'Oria (G-9) / Port Bastok (K-7) / Windurst Waters (F-9)



    2) Catch spriggans infesting Vana'dielian wildlands!
    Only those under the effects of mysterious moogle magic cast by moogles in the following areas are able to capture spriggans.
    West Ronfaure (I-6) / North Gustaberg (L-8) / West Sarutabaruta (J-8)



    When under the effects of the moogles' incantations, players will be able to clash with and capture the spriggans, thus receiving chartreuse, vermillion, or mauve stone shards.

    * Players' levels will be reduced to one while under the effects of the slime magic.
    * Players will be unable to attack or receive attacks from other monsters for the duration.

    3) Speak to the moogle who started the event to participate in a mini lottery for special prizes using your chartreuse, vermillion, and mauve stone shards.

    First prize: one item from the following list:
    Purple Spriggan Coat / Red Spriggan Coat

    Second prize: one item from the following list:
    Purple Spriggan Club / Red Spriggan Club

    Third prize: one item from the following list:
    Green Spriggan Coat / Green Spriggan Club

    Booby prize: one item from the following list:
    Purple Spriggan Lolli / Red Spriggan Lolly / Green Spriggan Lolly / Spriggan Spark

    * About the lottery
    The odds of receiving higher tier prizes vary with the color of stone shard used. Mauve stone shards provide the best odds, followed by vermillion, and then chartreuse.

    Furthermore, receiving third prize or the booby prize increases the odds of your next spin of the wheel resulting in first or second prize. These odds will reset when you receive either of the two higher tier prizes.



    Players will also be able to acquire red and purple spriggan spirits and spriggan festishes by fulfilling certain conditions.
    Once acquired, trading a spriggan fetish to Suibhne in the Feretory will enable players to possess spriggans. Further, trading a purple or red spriggan spirit to Suibhne while possessing a spriggan will enable the player to unlock the relevant type of spriggan.

    * Spriggans can be unlocked by trading the slime spirit to Suibhne regardless of what type of monster the player is currently possessing.
    * Unlocking a spriggan will not cause the currently possessed monster to lose any experience.
    Metal Slimes, I'll be damned. Glad to see it's not just a straight rehash.

    ???'s are Metal and She-Slime related items(Hat/Shield/Earring). Must kill one of the monsters related to be able to purchase the items. Metal Slime's are stupid hard, 90% run within 3 seconds of spawning. I used 2 accounts on monk to spank it on spawn before it could dip out like a *Expletive*

    Haha if you get like 10 or so booby prizes in a row it will say you are on a hot streak. Interestingly enough I got 1st prize shortly after that with the worst color shard. It then said my streak burned out. Probalby part of the whole odds go up thing they mentioned though the way they said it sounded more like every time you get booby or 3rd

    Yeah with int food and gear you can 1 shot most the stuff.... however the metal slimes are immune to magic. Also to note if one of them kills you in a pt they seem to stay out longer. Like I popped 2 at the same time and the one that didn't kill me was out like 3 seconds the other one followed my mules all the way back to zone lol

    Edit: nvm fighting 2 at once right now for over a minute. God there evasion is crazy even with chocobo shirt I'm at like 50% hit rate and huge DT but only like 4-5 hp. Good thing they give 10 coins each. Also regular slimes are taking less dmg than the spriggans so even as a taru blm with +10 int I'm not always one shotting the regulars and never the she slimes. But drk with a scythe mows them down. Also looks like you will need to get the whole shield earring and headpeice for each one to unlock fetish again so 80 coins per slime fetish


    Edit again: you get the metal and she slime spirits automatically after getting hte other items so only 65 per

    wearing the Blue Slime Shield, Earring and Hat when you kill gets an additional point per kill.

    I found a great method of coin farming is SMN/BLM with Chocobo shirt, Destrier beret, book regen, book refresh and INT food. Fenrir is free +1 tick refresh and helps a ton (he automatically kills any slimes you didn't one-shot). Spam stone on the regular slimes, and I had no problem killing the metal slimes before they ran away either (just melee them with a staff or club and Fenrir will help finish it off) Got 200 coins in like 10 minutes

    Did the event end ahead of schedule? I can't find any slimes in the mentioned areas to start the event.

    I guess, that might have been their original estimation of the patch day.
