Sinister Reign

[Maurauc]

YOUR BEST BET FOR IMMEDIATE INFORMATION IS TO HEAD TO THE WIKI:
Sinister Reign BG Wiki

Pretty cool start to it:
Head to I-8 in Inner Ra'Kaznar (By Ra'Kaznar Turris). I recommend the quickest way there is Yorcia Weald Skirmish warp, to Cirdas map 2, to Inner Ra'Kaznar.
Home point just by the entrance.

Have completed all of the Seekers of Adoulin missions.*
*Players must have viewed the ending scenes.

NPC called Malobra gives you a cutscene and the key item, for 5,000 bayld.
Story spoiler:

Spoiler: show

Malobra:Balamor. Oh SE.

Inside: 30 minutes to fight. Three rounds, against three NPCs. Level 130 fights. Three party members minimum.

Confirmed drops so far: Ingrid II and Rosulatia trusts. (Thanks Tile)

[Tile]

you fight 3 NMs, in waves, seems only certain mobs can be in each wave. solid group can do fine, very Aegis heavy will post more in abit.

Edit: example of fight Arciela&Ygnas > Tedor > Arciela (Super saiyan form) > done

wave one can be: Ingrid (aegis) , Arciela&Ygnas (aegis)
Wave two: Teodor(aegis), Morimar (ochain), Rosulatia&3 adds (worst group)
Final wave: Arciela Super saiyan form (aegis), Sajjaka (that dragon, Aegis), August (ochain, 1 shotted me Music changes)

notes
Arciela SS can summon 1 Naakual, Shark comes out does KO move, tree does doom, Trex does AoE weakness. then it despawn

August No quarter 10k needle move Conal only used with wings out, he uses all the skirimish weapons. wings only appear when he uses Flute, after No Quarter they disappear, its just best to eat the death and get an arise, rng can shadow bind, get up and just tank again, its the only bad move he uses

Sajjaka uses a AoE 90% HP move that resets hate on those hit.

Rosulatia has a charm move

party member got August, seems you have a chance to get the trust only if you fight them. So your pool with be 1 item from each NM and then a synth item and bayld as choice, you can only pick 1, the Armor comes with random Augs, some bad some very good

Armor sets Jumalik, Lengo, Founder's, Witching. i forget rest...

[BerenTebogo]

So we just went in dicking around... 1/1 as PLD/WAR, BST/NIN, GEO/RDM (idris), COR/WHM.

Dragon 90% HP move was annoying but everything else was very easy to handle.

The augments on some of this gear lol...The GEO/WHM/w/e feet look REALLY nice. 15 enf, 25 MACC, 5 handbell? Too bad my mule will never do SoA.

[Kazeryushin]

We did a random run hoping to die but won

my prize was
Lengo pants: Int +9, Macc +15, Matk +14
Floral Gauntlets: Acc +4, Rng acc +10, matk +2
Jumalik Helm: Mnd +4

I chose pants

2nd run prizes
Koresuke: Str +2, Acc +3, STP +1
Lilitu Headpiece: Str +3, Dex +2
Founder's Gauntlets: Str +3, Atk +3, MAB +3

[Lyramion]

Friend got Witching Robe with +12 MAB aug for +37MAB total. Pretty much best dmg nuking body now.

Other friend got +8MAB/MACC combo

[Sechs]

So you get random augments on that gear?
Strange way to keep the content relevant through time...

Yes 3 random loot pieces with 3 randomly rolled Augs to chose from. However since you only need 5k bayld and can spam it whenever it's quite nice to have an even without much bullshit surounding it.

[Aumaan_Kujata]

This event is pretty entertaining, and the loot system is uncharacteristically kind, giving you a choice between three random-augment items every time. I wish I'd been able to catalog every option that every person had on each run, it would have amounted to a decent starter sample, but here's the stuff two of us ended up keeping by the end. The most interesting overall thing is that our two Leyline Gloves had the same 4 stats, just different values. Are they using the "jse cape system" for these augments? (EDIT: Yeah, just found out KK got a rubicundity with the same stats but different values, looks very likely to be jse capes 2.0- I wonder if we'll be able to reroll augments down the line)

Floral Gauntlets
acc+15, racc+15, ta+3%, mdt-4%

Samnuha Tights
str+4, dex+7, ta+2%

leyline gloves
acc+14, macc+13, mab+13, fastcast+2

leyline gloves
acc+15, macc+15, mab+15, fastcast+3

enticer's pants
mp+30, pet: macc+10, acc+10, racc+10

vampirism
dmg+9, str+5, int+6, occult acumen+7

brilliance
dmg+7, shield+4, divine+10

rubicundity
macc+8, mab+9, conserve mp+6, dark skill+8

jumalik helm
mnd+8, mab+14, magic burst damage+8%

jumalik mail
hp+15, refresh+1

Jumalik stuff is Sajj'akka's pool, which isn't surprising thematically. Vampirism is Teodor's cane, and it's classified as a sword, which is fairly awesome. The Trust Ciphers seem to be quite a bit rarer than I expected. I only saw one in 8 runs, and I think the rest of the group only accounted for 2 more that they mentioned.

[Sechs]

The pool is global for the party and not for the player? Can someone explain better how it works?
What are the possible item drops, other than trusts?

Founder set (5 pieces)
Leyline gloves
Floral gauntlets
Witching Robe
Enticer's pants (these look like quite a solid alternative to Helios, granted it's inferior when you consider the perfect skirmish Aug, but it's close enough someone might choose not to bother with the RNG game)
Samnua Coat
Samnua tights
Jumalik Helm
Jumalik Mail

Vampirism (sword)
Brilliance (sword)
Rubicundity (club)


Other possible drops (not confirmed)
Divinity (club)
Serenity (staff)
Nobility (bow)
Brutality (scythe)
Ferocity (gaxe)
Humility (gsword)
Malevolence (dagger)

Uac Jerkin (body)
Abnoba Kaftan (body)
Shango robe (body)
Lengo Pants (legs)
Tal'ab trousers (legs)
Amm Greaves (feet)
Loyalist Sabatons (feet)
Medium's Sabots (feet)


A lot of this stuff looks really nice, unexpectedly nice if you consider the possible augments.

[Aumaan_Kujata]

When you win, you get booted out and talk to the npc, and he offers you, individually, 3 pieces (one related to each boss you saw), plus a crappy scroll and 1000 bayld. Different for each person and each person picks one.

We saw all of those unconfirmed weapons at one point or another, I'm pretty sure. Definitely the club, scythe, and gaxe. Founder set items turn up in your third slot when August is the third boss. Jumalik when Sajj'akka is the third boss. Etc. I'm not sure if everything is associated with a particular boss, or if some stuff is sort of free-floating. The Ciphers show up in the slot instead of gear, if that's what that boss "dropped".

Overall I think it's almost shockingly well-designed and generous. It's probably shout group friendly within reason, once the bosses' nastier tricks get well known. Teodor has a gross move with a 15' radius. Sajj'akka has a really gross move with a bigger radius but you can get away if he's on one wall and you're on the other, and it resets hate on the people it hits, and he likes to then toss a small aoe around his new target. Darrcuiln has a hate-reset-plus-terror-the-target that he likes to spam. Last-boss Arciela (there's a first-boss Arciela that's different) summons a random Naakual at what look like fixed %s (including a last one at around 1%) to do a single fixed TP move and disappear, and if it's Tchakka everyone better be ready to group hug him, but if it's Yumcax stay back and spam cursnas, etc. August has a tankbuster (No Quarter) that I think was doing a fixed 9999 that he used several times. No idea what to do about that- we just kited him around, he likes to stand back and do ranged stuff given the option, and we managed to win each time. He's not immune to gravity/bind either. Nothing has THAT much hp, and skillchains are as burly as ever, as long as you pick ones the particular boss doesn't resist too badly.

[Tile]

Arciela SS form doesnt pull them out at fixed %s she does them randomly as a tp move, I've done fights when she only does 2 of them and other where she's done 6, and each fight took the same amount of time, We tested August and as I mentioned he can only use No quarter with wings out and its a 10k needles move, but its not worth having everyone get in range. a good whm can arise the tank fast enough to get back into the fight.

Vampirism, DMG+10 STR+6 INT+5 Occult Acumen +6.
Samnuha coat, (MAgic ACC+11 MATK+10 Fast cast +3)
