Using a lame base damage of say 1500 for a given ThunderV, 110MAB, 8Magic Crit

A's:5*2.299*2.16=24+4=29
Nares:12*2.299*2.15=59+8=67

(mcrit)
A's:5*2.299*2.26*0.18=4
Nares:12*2.299*2.25*0.13=8

If I fucked that up please tell me because that would be the first time I ever mathed out a spell, lol.

Looks about right for an approximate.

Though doesn't take into account possible set bonus or slight increase af3+2 procs on nares. Also macc seems to be an issue on some of the newer vwnms. Which is kinda what I think of sidegrade most the time. Things that are about as good sometimes a little better sometimes a little worse. Also blu can use A'as

[Prothescar]

I'd infer the opposite.

The fact that the NQ fists were in Legion to begin with tells me they're intended for this event but just not intended for Para-Rex (there are 6 Paramount bosses in the dats.)

Not to mention neither the NQ Katana or punchers have been seen despite groups spamming the Caturae this week (the last VW content they'd drop from) for dragon access.

Aura weapon NQ counterparts are commonplace enough I'd think by the end of the weekend we can rule them out from the final chapter loot table.

I suppose. The part that got me was "in Legion," though I'm probably reading too much into it.

A'as vs Nares, definitely nares, by a *lot*

Given your set is:
Taru BLM/SCH w/ int merits is 114 int
Staff/Wizzan/---/Memoria
<Hat Swaps>/Stoich/Hecate/Novio
Nares/Nares/Galdr/Strendu
Searing/Oneiros/AF3+2*/Nares

*Yes, Valktrews+MabAugment, that -1 doesn't exist /rant

Target given 100INT, 0 MDT/MDB
Thunder5 Nares NoCrit: 2922
Thunder5 A'as NoCrit: 2840
Thunder5 Nares Crit (8%): 3057
Thunder5 A'as Crit(13%): 2971
Thunder5 Nares Average: 2932.8
Thunder5 A'as Average: 2857.03

Nares takes it by quite a bit.

If you take the macc into account (which is probably an issue on anything you give a shit about nuking damage on in the first place), won't A's win?

[Diomer]

Did anyone notice that with the new exploration KI; it works retroactively but only recovers a portion in relation to the amount of the voidstones you currently have.
Example: My mule had high 200s voidstones; now @ high mid 400s.
Myself on the otherhand had single digits or 10 max; now @ 15...

It kind of amazes me that SE wouldn't make it exactly like the abyssea ones unless it's just a bug, but it actually punishes people who used up all of their voidstones in a way...

[Byrthnoth]

That's exactly how the Abyssea one worked, too. You can think of your stones as representing saved hours, and the Abyssite/Periapt just changes the denominator in determining how many you have.

Ah; well that's disappointing, but I guess I just had more Abyssea stones saved at the time so I didn't really notice it then.

10 Macc vs 12 INT(12 nares-5 a'as + 5 nares set bonus) isn't really a consideration, considering you have over 400 from skill.

Yeah thats exactly why I've been buying voidstones for the last month or so, trying to stock up for the new KIs.

[finalwolf]

didn't see the info of this happening to others except on the last fight. Abj dropping from Pil from Beguiling Radiance fight.

[fantasticdan]

Seems weird that the hands abjurations drop from both provenence caturaes and CoP/ToAU path, while head/feet are no where to be found. I guess they'd have to be in legion, along with the glow katana/h2h?

[Lyramion]

I didn't remember seeing it mentioned before. When doing https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Seductive_Radiance our Catuare did a castling (Rochade) like in chess.

PLD and me as WHM were holding Rukh in one corner and all the melee ganging up on Asb. All of a sudden everyone disangaged and the 2 Catuare switched places in an instant. Funtimes.



Also while PLD&Co hold their Catuare somewhere, you have time to figure out the procs and note them, so when the rest of the ally comes, you can start off with a chain of procs and fresh TMPs.

[jimbobsonofgod]

I just got hexed pants created. and you can equip them, It gives you zombie status -7 MP a tic and -7 all stats



Oh and killed dragon today got a Ruszor meat for my trouble.

[Yugl]

Get the full set and pull another BRD+2 Emp glitch.

[Snprphnx]

Where does the gear and spells drop? In individual boxes or in a common loot pool? Or both?

[Lyramion]

Both but possibly spells. Spells not confirmed from trove (yet?)


(EDIT for wrong: And Abj in Trove only (?)

[Churchill]

abj drop off the dragon too

[Draylo]

Anyone having issues with the CS that grants access to Provenance? After I get asked to show my crystal the game just hangs and nothing happens..

edit: something in my files messed up, tested on laptop and it worked fine. Gotta do a file check I guess

[Foldypaws]

Hexed Jacket did the exact same effect. (Also, you may have checked for this, but it's not a Plague effect, it only drains MP not TP)

[Vaantalus]

Meteor confirmed (direct drop).

Tessera Saio also (from trove).

EDIT: low post count lol, no ss
