    Animated Weapon interest?

    Well we kinda used to say mijin works to keep him not warp or interested

    today left 5 mins in dynamis and got 100% tp, so went to try out myself to see how much HP it got and found out..............

    i was alone rampaging it, and died, no one was around.

    It became interested after i died 2-3 seconds

    maybe thats why mijin works?

    anyway only took this SS, it stayed unwarped about 1 minute...........

    Are the emote ever repeated in a fight, I never paid much attention to them and they usually die really fast. It's not impossible you have to counter every emote with an action (turn back, cast spell, attack, ws...etc), but zerging them is far too easy to bother finding another tactic imo >_>

    There was a topic identical to this except on animated Kunai, can't find it though.

    There's nothing special about that. The weapon always stays longer if you sac and die instead of fighting it - it loses interest faster if it's being damaged. Go figure because doing damage also helps keep interest. *shrug* I've sac'd the Horn several times to make a safe path to more mobs, and it always took a couple min to warp.

    The messages are triggered by weaponskills and possibly job abilities. Some will raise the weapons' interest, others will lower it. I don't know anything beyond that. I suppose if a pattern were found it could make fragmentation fights incredibly easy.
