General Update Changes (May-09-11)

[Mrbeansman]

Can you do kings abjs? all the augments I'm seeing are from sky.

[Atoreis]

You can.

[Toth]

Initial reports from Armor Shatterer are mixed.

Damage is mediocre so far - around 750ish on mobs in abyssea (VV RR and GH atmas)

However, the def down and (perhaps a critical def down effect?) is quite strong. I was criting like mad after the ws went off, my automaton's ranged attack went up 100 points, and my WS jumped from 2500-3300 to 4010. Could have some uses. I will do some testing tomorrow w/o atmas.

Also, the new Barrage attachment is awesome! Ditto with the TP for fire maneuver attachment. Very nice additions to PUP.

So far every zone I've been to has a Ground Tome right at the entrance, including the 2 entrances in Toraimairai and the Cloister exit in Fei'Yin. Some of the level ranges go up to lvl 99.

[Tahona]

did the dragon kcnm dropped calmecac trousers...

[Lyramion]

Merited Level 12 h2h skill for giggles. Next upgrade 9 merits, prolly could merit to 99 or 256 or something till emergency maint hits <.<

[Deader2818]

Kinda sucks I wasted 19 merits to fight the glitch but they I rememered merits are shit easy to get now

[TheDirtyHobo]

Too lazy to read through the thread to check if someone else reported it, but the 50% crit damage cap was definitely raised.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h1...2-36-51-67.jpg

Edit: WAR/DNC using Mashcu+2, if anyone wants to calculate what the 50% damage cap would've been, but I'm pretty sure I broke it. Also did a few 900s to Raskovnik.

[Yeyoking]

Merited Level 12 h2h skill for giggles. Next upgrade 9 merits, prolly could merit to 99 or 256 or something till emergency maint hits <.<

They probably won't refund the merit points used it in when they fix it lol

[Tahona]

more info, 2 dragons 1 shadow 1 dahak type, shadow uses a super bad curse move which took me down to like 300 hp on nin also uses mighty strikes... seemed to gain an acc boost when it used mighty strikes or under 50% not sure though we've only done it once. dahak is thf mob uses PD and thornsong lodesong nullsong etc. has pretty damn good evasion. might gain more eva as hp drops or after the shadow one was killed also not sure. Not too hard though

[dem0nfr0g]

1MAB 5STP 1DA on Ebody is the best I have gotten out of 6 attempts.. Saw up to 4 Subtle blow in previous attempts.. unless something really good comes out its "meh" at best.

[Lyramion]

Not counting on that in any way

Garlaige CitadelDon't drop down without invis, bats don't aggro but VT Warden Beetles do.

I'm so glad now I did key farming a few days ago. Regretting I didn't also pop the coffers on some jobs so I could farm up extra overlapping keys.
Going to have to get 2 Eldieme and 1 Garlaige in the new environment instead of just 1 Eldieme.

[Arthars]

anyone making a stuffs broken thread? seems merit is broken lol

[OdinBlaize]

When you rest in Abyssea now you get the following message:

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g5...ssealights.jpg

Lights are much more precisely kept track of than expected. The cap as far as the game is concerned is 255.

Tested with all abyssites: Trash mobs give 8 azure, 8 ruby, 8 amber regardless of level, and 5 pearl. In Misareaux, Ephemeral Murex gave 128 azure and 16 amber, Ephemeral Amoeban gave 16 azure and 16 amber. Jala gave 32 azure and 32 amber. T1 VNM gave 10 pearl.

Opened two red boxes so far, mild ebon gave 2 and strong silvery gave 15 (after getting the 2 ebon).

[Ophannus]

People should test lights. Strong Gold gave me 15 gold, but I have 0 ebon. Before dumping merits, a feeble azure gave me 16 but I had 80 Ebon. Perhaps Ebon is a multiplier, not 'a little of each' as previously thought. Getting 8 Azure lights per kill in Heroes zones with 3/3 of the Azure light abyssites. Lights cap at 255.

[OdinBlaize]

I'm pretty certain I got 8 for a ruby kill after getting the ebon light red box. Could still be a multiplier with higher ebon than what I had, though.

[Gippo]

More Quadav BC: Crate will load 2 bynes , 1 magic(firaja, water V, blizzard V,aero V, enlight seen so far), 1-2 item/medicine(vile elixer, int potion, demon horn, vile elixer+1, reraiser, hi potion+1 seen), 1 random seal(hands and feet so far), 0-1 of (Calmecc leggings or Barbican axe)
