.DAT Mining: 9/9/2014 Update - Findings and Discussion

[Damane]

so the abolished the rare tag on the JSE capes and added them with special augments into incursion. wow

JSE SMN cape with augments: smn magic +2, bloodpact damage +3 and pet enmity +5 on top of all the stats the JSE capes allready have.

i have no idea of the amount of gear they have put into incursion with augments, there is no limits to this, they might have added JSE capes and a myriad of other stuff in there thats doesnt have a rare tag on it with augments.

[Ophannus]

Inb4 people receive absolutely broken augments on capes for jobs they don't play. Let the QQ commence.

They might have added various peacekeeper equipment with nice augments as 95% of gear from this patch seems to be WoE+1 stuff, the weapons are likely from incursion though. Maybe augmented avatar tear rings? ifrits ring with wsd+2% on it for example.

Does anyone here have any info on the new quest, "A Thirst for Eternity"? Palomel sent me to find a mithra that talks about "refractive energies", I've searched everywhere but I can't find her.

That's interesting. I was told to talk to a young Mithra that can see 30 seconds into the future, which sounds really familiar, but I haven't had any luck yet.

I remember that quote about her too, actually. The one sentence that stuck about to me about her was right at the end, she said she always talks about "refractive energies".

I'll spoiler the mithra idendity for those who want to get there by themselves

Spoiler: show

it's the geomancer in Rabao, the one you went to for the waypoint initial quest

[Leafe]

So after we speak with the Mitrha, Roskin mentions that we should try searching in Yorcia Weald, Cirdas Caverns, Kamihr Drifts, and Ceizak Battlegrounds. But does anyone know what we're searching for? My first thought was to check the crystal thingy sticking out of the ground around G-10 in Ceizak since they've been there from the start and seem important, but I didn't seem to find anything there. In hindsight I don't think Cirdas has one of those, either (or perhaps I've just not found it if there is one). Just kind of running around blind atm and hoping I stumble upon something.

Edit: Just found the spot in Ceizak Battlegrounds. It's a glowing light around F-6 named Mnemonic Pool. Going to assume there's something similar in the other 3 zones as well.

Hmm, just talked to the mithra, one part she says, "When you come across an area that might be connected to the events you seek". And the initial post SE mentioned about this quest they stated or practically need to be caught up to the current SoA mission to access this quest. I'm gonna try going back to key locations in those zones for the SoA storyline.

Trying to think of some off the top of my head, I know there was an area in Yorcia Weald, where you got the plume, I think the cave wher eyou met the tiger in kamihr might be a possibility as well, maybe Mount Kamihr as well, anyone else can think fo any other areas that could be possible locations?

[Leafe]

The one in Cirdas Caverns is at H-8, on the southern side of the wall that shows up on the map. I'm running around Yorcia Weald atm... this zone could take awhile.

[Kyreth]

Ok what the hell? The only difference between Flume Belt and Flume Belt +1 is DEF +3

Good thing I didn't sell my Flume Belt. Geez

The question would be is if +1'ing it augments it as well. In which case it's DEF +3, Augment: (whatever).

[Maurauc]

The last two are in Yorcia and Kamihr. (Thanks Dats!) So you're on the right path!

there are no augments on WoE gear, only on incursion drops

allready getting puke moments from WoE. i hate clusterfucks of people in events.

Did some incursion, managed to find an NM and kill it with sam brd whm rdm(we got one KI), the zone is hugeeeeeeeeeeee and give a ton of exp/cp some of the mob near the NM gave us 800cp/kill.

When you kill nq mob you get coffers in inventory that you can open for random crap or augmented cap,(augment totally random so far?) we got shit like cp+17%; ranged attack +17 etc.

Mob are not dangerous at all so far but if you can split I can see how 18 is better than less for this

[Leafe]

Finally managed to find the last two Mnemonic Pool for "A Thirst for Eternity". Just to recap, here are all four locations:

Spoiler: show

Ceizak Battlegrounds: (F-6)
Cirdas Caverns: Southern side of the walled path at (H-8)
Yorcia Weald: Northwest corner of (J-9)
Kamihr Drifts: On the eastern side of the chasm onlooking Outer Ra'Kaznar at (G-8)

Once you have the KIs from all four pools return to Roskin to complete the quest. The reward is 8,000 bayld, and afterwards you can speak to Palomel for an additonal cutscene.

[Damane]

managed to kill 2 NMs in incursion and then we found a very gigantic velkk NM; unique model looked like the king, had 4 min left. in the middle of fights he spawnd like 10 adds. stun AoE effect, amnesia effect on hits. fucktons of HP, we timed out @20% on him. Indi-vex recommended to prevent amnesia from this Big NM. We went with 6 people, zone is gigantic ¬.¬

got an augmented cape with +28% cap.points, accuracy +3 mnd +1 and def +3 on it from a velkk +1 coffer.

The amount of NM HP is big the NMs have, i am not sure if going with a half baked ally will help or hinder you more o.o depending by how much HP will be raised per member.

also yagrush adviced, all normal NMs seem to like to spam a move that has a plague curse para effect on it.

[Lyramion]

The move however seemed pretty slow to me, possibly someone with a Stun could be nice.


The +CP% capes seem to be an easy drop. In 2 runs over half my Party got one. The "normal" NMs can drop special boxes with a random % chance of something good. One PT member got the new 6INT 5 MAB sash, other the Polearm.

[ccl]

We used stun and it landed on all the NM we fought.

[Sechs]

In 2 runs with 13 people we got ONE cape with +25% CP and nothing else. Came from NQ coffers.
ONE single coffer from one of the 3 NMs we killed. Mine was empty.

Welcome back Voidwatch chests. How I missed your lovely inventory clogging behaviour! How I missed your good R/E drops on the wrong character attitude!

[Sechs]

On a side note, Mob's aggro range is 30 yalms, we ended up with around 18k/CP each run, and mobs hit really hard even on "normal" difficulty.
