Voidwatch Discussion

Were you fighting it at the farthest rift ? Could have something to do with the FOV augment NM ?

No, it was at the one closest to the zone line.

[detlef]

A new periapt for faster stone recharge could help a bit, but actually wouldn't help at all with the amount of spamming needed to get a good amount of drops.I bet the Voiddusts are going to get just more expensive once peoples year old stashes of CQ and AN dried up.

This will be great for people who haven't been doing VW but plan to start spamming. Not so great if your personal stash is already bone-dry.

They really should have added another with Jeuno I/Zilart and another for Jeuno II.

Ive burned through main characters stones been buying about 16-24 void dusts a day for 3 weeks now, and am currently doing VW runs on mule to burn through their 150 stones. If dusts dry out im'a be fucked.

Could it have been someone doing the WAR af mobs ?

If it's the same as Traverser Stones, it should give you a bunch of stones to bring your total up to as if you'd had the KI from Day 1. Or I think that's how the Traverser stone KI worked...

The Traverser stone KI only worked on stockpiled stones. So a new Voidstone KI would only give a bunch of stones to the people who hadn't been using them.

I am allready dried out and fucked up... System is not good. I reduced VW runs quiet a bit. Half of my LS has the same problem. imho you will see riftdross/cinder and HMP enter the market at a much lower rate from now on, because alot of people are out of stones tbh.

I wish they would let us convert Abyssea stones into Voidstones, because I am sitting on 1000++++ Abyssea stones...

[Churchill]

Dying anyway, most people have got what they want that shout and for me, I don't see x,y,z being worth buying stones if better things are coming out, regardless of difficulty. I really only do Kaggen/Botulus/Ocythoe on my main now and I AN to do it.

[macross]

or just let you buy stones with cruror

^ this. I originally thought you could buy stones with crour and It would have been a good feature.

They need to increase pouch drop rate or have pouches/rifts drop off of harder mobs in the Chapter 4 VW. (we are on chapter 3 still right?)

Pouches should drop at 100% in at least 1 persons chest on every VW fight. I rather gamble away my stones like that. VW's crappy drops, especially after seeing nyzul isle and legion gear... Noone will be doing VW anymore unless they needed empyrean items.

Seeing how popular empyrean weapons were and how unpopular VW IS... They can increase the pouch drop rate or decrease the trials to bring popularity into VW. They should do this on the same update that alexandrite gets increased in supply. This will balance out all 3 relic/mythic/empyreans.

You can start lowmanning alexandrite in 1-2 months using pouches from nyzul isle, or dynamis currency from dynamis in 1-2 months solo/duo, or heavy metal pouches in 1-2 months... then we will be onto something with SE.

[Taint]

They need to do something, HMPs are becoming extremely rare. Between plates and Arch DL these is little incentive to attempt to make another Emp/Relic at this point. (won't even get started on cinder/dross)

[Prothescar]

I've got a nice steady stream of HMP going out... have been considering upping my price because I'm pretty much one of the only people selling them en masse. I'm sure I'm not the only one, either. Market is getting dry for sure.

[macross]

1-2 months lowmanning alex my ass lol. Gonna take me 10 months avging 100 a day. Unless there's a huge influx, doubt will finish in less than 5. I've already lowmanned about 3500 alex so far since i set my goal of making a mythic.

But hmp pouches do already drop around 1 per 18 people.

[Arthars]

Pouches rate can remain but 1 plate in every box at least imo. So all 18 are happy. If it is already 1 pouch on every fight already like u claimed, altho i kinda agree too, 1 plate 100% for everyone wouldnt hurt than just 1 fucker being lucky n happy n say "congrats" to him while we all know we say "fuck you" in our bearts.

[macross]

Well they did change woe dice to drop 50%, so who knows maybe they can up the single plate rate too. Wish flan and ogre woudl drop 1 dross/cinder every time you killed it too, in the treasure pool.

ADL is a massive pussy, even farming his pop sets is a joke, you can take him down with just a party of 5 DDs fully buffed (Embravra, Hastega, PD, Minuet x2, Misery & Chaos, Red Curry - total buff overkill.) and he just falls over, if know how to identify which one is the real and which ones are the shadows then it's a cake walk, really he's not as hard as people complain and make him out to be, just have to hope you don't get screwed over and have his annoying 1m duration terror.

If you bring more DD you can have them stand on the far side to the south 45.1 yalms away to be out of range of his TP moves and when they split and confirm they have the proper DL targeted they can rush in and do damage, they may die but lolexp, got screwed over tonight doing ADL, 2 of them at 5% thought it would be neat to terror the entire alliance, third one went down tho no problem, wanted to attempt a 4th but 0/3 on COR 2hr reset.

Of the 3 trials to 99, I'd say relic is by far the easiest to accomplish, and in the shortest amount of time on top of that.

[Sute]

if know how to identify which one is the real and which ones are the shadows then it's a cake walk, really he's not as hard as people complain and make him out to be

Have I missed how to identify the real 1 from the fakes? If not could you enlighten us?

Edit: Just seen your post about the stoneskin on clones, thank you this info will help a lot!

So the key to killing this mob who's only problem is unblockable terror and death, is to hope it doesn't use terror or death. That is interesting.

[Darkmagi]

Keep a reserve DD party waiting on terror, jump in on terror and hope it doesn't use it again in quick succession?

[Helel]

Then you gotta farm 25 more marrows for those extra 5 ppl , assuming it's not a shout group. You're right though in that it's a possible strat; just sucks to employ an extra 5 people that you may or may not need.

So you need SCH, BRD, COR buffs, plus perfect dodge, and then you gotta avoid terrorized, but he's a massive pussy? lol?

Nobody is debating how easy he is to kill with PD. We've been doing it since level 90 cap. The problem is that you need 2-hours to kill him (plus the fact that everyone there is losing a potential 2.5m gil). Taint said there is little "incentive" to kill him, which is entirely true. He said nothing about how hard ADL is.

[NynJa]

AV was a massive pussy as well if you had 12 kraken drks to throw at it, just hope it doesnt keep using that stun TP move.


it doesnt change the fact that ADL is a total bullshit fight which is 90% luck, 5% skill, 5% gear.
