Voidwatch Discussion

If you multiply those drop rates by ~18, my guesses were actually pretty close. Except for Fazheluo R.Mail, cuz 18 x 0 = 0, lulz.

We've actually killed Voidwrought 25ish times but that was before the blitz/TH update. Going to keep Wiki up to date since we do t4s everyday now.

from what i SEE so far, if you want the higher tier, do it when its casting a spell(Easier) or WSing(harder)

The timing could have been glitched, so I'm not saying you're theory is wrong just yet, but we had one normal vulnerability GKT WS which proc'ed right on a mob's TP move (Voidwrought's Eradicator) -- in fact, it actually stopped it from going off -- and only yielded a grellow !!.

But was it a 40 yellow or a 20 yellow?

yea did u get 20% or 40%?

also note that single ! will not give items recharge unless its the high tier proc(40%) and stun NM for 5ish sec, than the 20% proc, which does almost nothing (1-2 sec stun at most and no temp recharge)

Grellow !!, 20% blue/10% green/10% yellow. The low tier proc does give ONE temp item back btw, just not all of them. Everything higher than 20% is always red !! (40%, 100%, 200% are all red !!).

What are you talking about when you say "single !"? Are you talking about something in the chat log or the icon that appears over the enemy?

[Arthars]

! means vulnerable
!!! is highly vulnerable

derived from JP version of the game

Man people get so worked up when you get no items or lose these fights. I have to keep using pick up groups and we never seem to proc. I try to bring a lot of different jobs and still nothing...

[macross]

No loss on loss, and you can fight as many battles as you want perday, why cry ???

[Arthars]

even if u lose, or dont get the desired %, just wipe or run out of range and reset the fight. Only popper loses stone...so if u got mules....let them pop ^^

yest we did 3 hahava...all ! and !!! procs that are done when hahava readies TP move or casting gives high tier %s btw....

may still be luck but good to try

Everything in your post can be explained by the fact that almost everyone in that alliance was an idiot.

Can't really get anybody else except from shout. Not a lot of people are interested in Voidwatch at all.

It is the sad reality of the system. There is no reward over time. Once you get the desired drop there is really no reason to do it anymore. Add that to the horrible drop system and its a pretty terrible event.

lv95 empy trials... as others have already mentioned. SE will not miss the chance to tie in something popular with something less popular to make people do the latter.

[Dooom]

Yeah... when I started doing Voidwatch I was really excited to be doing something outside Abyssea that had nice drops, but reality has reared it's ugly head and the sight of yet another box full of NPC fodder and r/ex items going to people who have no use or desire for them (if you get them at all!) has become both inevitable and incredibly depressing.

edit - as for lvl 95 emp trials, if SE wants us to get a bunch of r/ex items from boxes which we can't hand to other players, then I'll be keeping my weapons at 90.

[calinz]

Doesn't have to be items, can be trials such as defeat Hahava x50 for the next stage. Also, VW kinda ties in with Abyssea, being an alternate dimension where all these mobs reside... and didn't SE say somewhere that Shinryu is not the end of the story for it?

They're either going to do this or tie it in to Walk of Echoes or something. Regardless what they pick, I'm not going to want to do it but will have to.

[Dooom]

If it's just to defeat the NMs X times then that's not so bad, but I still doubt we'll see many level 95 emps for a long time.

[vagus]

Any tips on KB?

[Mercilessturtle]

"They might make voidwatch an annoying thing you have to do eventually" doesn't make voidwatch worth doing now.

Pretty much this. Been introducing voidwatch to the linkshell i'm in and we've had some success so far, but alot of people shy away from it cause it's not abyssea and they can't DD like retards with atma. Coupled with the randomness of drops and it's not too surprising why people don't wanna go. It's mostly the fear that they're gonna most likely require VW for 95 trials we bother getting people involved now rather than later when there's a big rush and probably lines at different pop sites.
