AV video solved? - Torque Theory Only

I hate to quote something from one of the site's staff, but how has this not been posted yet?

Locking Absolute Virtue’s Abilities

Elmer the Pointy

The Relationship Between Equipment and Sealing Abilities

Hello, I’m Suteki, a staff member at Vanatsu. This time we’re wrapped up in another mystery as I consider ways to seal those special abilities! First, it’s generally thought that when AV performs a 2-hour, you perform the 2-hour as well, and this will seal that same ability. I don’t think this assumption is wrong, but even if you execute this perfectly, there are times where the sealing is a success, and times where it fails. If there are some special circumstances involved here, I have no idea.

I’ve fought AV dozens of times, and the only ability I’ve seen sealed with any consistency is Call Wyvern. However, there was one day where, for the first time, sealing Call Wyvern failed. At that time, we happened to be using a different Dragoon than we usually do, so thinking there was a hidden clue behind this slip-up, I compared the two and noticed a big difference.

One had the Love Torque equipped and the other did not.

It was the thing that had the strongest connection to AV. From this clue, I had my hypothesis: Wearing a Sea Torque would make your attempt to seal 2-hours a success!



Now that we’ve established the theory of Sea Torques being the key to sealing AV’s abilities, we still have the issue of which jobs will equip the 7 different torques. This brings me to the connection with Jailer Weapons. Each job can only equip one of the available weapons. Furthermore, many of the combinations are not very practical and seem strange. In actuality, couldn’t this really be meant to correspond with the aforementioned torques? This would explain why Dragoon, which can equip Love Halbred, is able to succeed at sealing Call Wyvern while wearing the torque of the same name!

What would happen if a Black Mage wearing Prudence Torque attempts to seal Manafont?

Mystery of the Hope Torque



Why is Puppetmaster able to equip Hope Staff? Out of all the jobs added after Rise of the Zilart, it is the only one able to equip one of the Jailer Weapons. What would happen if a Puppetmaster wearing Hope Torque attempted to seal AV? Could it be a weak point against “Bracelet Mode” … ?

[SathFenrir]

I knew it.

PUP is the secret to AV. Close down BG. We're done here.

[Izzy]

Who wants to test it first!

[Raineer]

Same Suteki from Siren? zomg

[Rocl]

Close the pool.

[zard1977]

But i thought players had already tried EVERYTHING! (judging from the usual responses of every new AV thread).

[The_OG_Nelta]

POOL IS CLOSED.
posting in a epic thread.

[Qeomash]

So...using the two hour against the same two hour gives a chance to lock it...and maybe equipping a sea torque gives a greater chance to lock it...?

I'd swear it was tried already before.

[pohibaba]

I don't want to believe it yet, but it's worth testing.

[Stanislav]

Actually I don't think I ever read people making sure people have the Torques, only weapons. Correct me if I am wrong.

[Neosutra]

So we have to wait until it uses that specific 2 hour to lock it?

And while I am always hopeful, this seems like more speculation without validity or evidence to back them up.

[Maxxthepenguin]

I...

Will allow it


Please test this ASAP. Any trolling will be removed.

[wyred]

And most torques have poor drop rates? :d

[bolkin]

Let's call Apathy LS to the rescue to try this out and see if it works.

[kayn]

And most torques have poor drop rates? :d

Lies, I've seen 7 justice torques drop in the 60+ JoJs I've done!
While all of them have quit or been banned, I know mine will drop soon!


(I do not do sea anymore)

[Ramses]

Great, we just got done with our second and last JoL for the day literally two minutes ago and then I see this.

[Nattack]

wait.

so in all this time did nobody think "hay , maybe the sea torques have something to do with AV?"

well. Speculations aside I'd like to see someone bring this mystery of how SE wants you to kill AV specifically. because apparently theres only one way to do it that is less than 2 hours from JoL's pop, and if you find another way, its totallypatched

[Maxxthepenguin]

wait.

so in all this time did nobody think "hay , maybe the sea torques have something to do with AV?"

Strangely, though it has surely been said, I do not think I've seen it tested.

I wouldn't say no evidence. He says they regularly locked call wyvern and then one day they didn't with only difference being the absence of torque drg. Might not work at all, but it's the first info on AV in a long time and it actually completely fits into the realm of possibility. My ls has a fair amount of torques, but won't be doing JoL again until next Tuesday.

[Popeh]

I THOUGHT YOU WERE BUSY!

[stewie]

So is this the Suteki on Siren?

[Maxxthepenguin]

I THOUGHT YOU WERE BUSY!

I WAS

But I had a moment and saw an AV thread and decided that if I have this shitty title, I better actually follow through with it.

[Epical]

Interesting...

[Kimiko]

That is correct, the same Suteki that took Scholar to 75 in under 48 hours after WotG release.

[TummieGaruda]

Strangely, though it has surely been said, I do not think I've seen it tested.

Quick someone go back and check the AV video and match up the jobs that did 2hours alongside with AV with their respective torques

[Ramses]

wait.

It has been suggested and tried... sort of. People have fought AV with torques, people have tried to two hour to match his after the video came out. I don't think anybody has actually put the two together or have lived long enough to notice a random two hour that might be locked and realize it. Everyone just wanted to lock benediction and manafont and got frustrated when they couldn't. I doubt many blms and whms were wearing sea torques when they tried. A different two hour could easily have been locked and nobody noticed. Anyhow, it's worth a shot.

[tsola]

The PUP theory doesn't make much sense considering AV came before PUP.

Then again trying to make much sense out of AV seems silly, so it'll probably work.

[Yugl]

How the hell would you get that without checking their equipment?

[Kimiko]

Suteki, Barlog, Slayer... pretty much the entire lot of Priceless works for/contributes to Famitsu in one form or another. I'm just suprised they didn't come forward with this information sooner. Also, there is a rumor that they have a PW kill under their belt, but it's never been confirmed.

Not to mention, if the torque needed to lock corresponds to weapons, then it gets all screwy, with DRK needing fort torque, not justice torque, and other such weird things.
