Voidwatch Discussion

[Colenzo]

Fought the cactuars tonight and all i can really say is that you need to get your triggers in as fast as you can and zerg it down. Every time it uses a certain TP move it re-summons its pets it levels up and gets tougher to kill. We didn't try stalling the pets and then killing the actual NM. If it doesn't use that move then it might be easier to kill? Also if you try to stun the TP move it uses to summon its pets back it will immediately try to use it again a few seconds later.

We also did the tiamat looking wyrm. This thing is no joke, it will fuck you up. You have to keep up with damage the whole fight or you will time out if you aren't careful.

Things to note about the wyrm:
Uses AoE Absolute Terror and its lasts long as fuck, you need to be @ 20 to be out of range of it.
Its pets will use voidsong and dispel everyones buffs fully. I think they both use their TP moves at the same time.
It will only summon its pets at 100% 75% 50% and 25%.
All standard tiamat TP moves except for roar hate reset I think. I didn't see it use it anyways. Probably does though I'd imagine.
Also has regen like all wyrms do. Goes up by 1% every minute or so.
It will fly when its pets are out, so you have to kill them to get them to the ground. Every time it summons it goes in the air.

In case anyone cares, Tangaroa is kind of a joke. As I said in a previous post, the effect of killing pets in the Zilart fights is that any staggers you proc for a short time after pets die will be enhanced and give more alignment. For example, a proc which would normally have given 20% light gave 30% light instead. This effect is increased by killing more adds within the window (message will say "alignment blitz: 2-chain," or something like that, etc.).

[Colenzo]

Oh yeah, haha I didn't even get to see how that NM really worked. We had it terrorized the whole time.

If not known yet bruiser's earring drops from voidwatch gugalanna .

Also Silver Mirrors are a fairly common drop off these low tier (T1 and T2) fights. I'd say we got around 4-6 per fight (no more than one per person) with a full alliance.

Hopefully this means they won't be super expensive since OAT weapons need 150.

DA weapons also need 200.

Assuming by this then that the adds don't have much HP but are re-summoned often?

[Slycer]

Honestly the adds for Tangaroa reminded me of standard EP/DC mobs. I was on BLM and they did not hit very hard at all. They have more HP than a standard mob, but they still go down fast. I don't know if this is the case for all tier 1 Zilart battles or just this one, but I'd imagine it's for all of them (would be kind of hard to focus on tanking four separate mobs at once, etc.).

I don't know whether the adds were resummoned at certain HP levels or after a certain amount of time, but I think we killed the adds 3 or 4 times total in the one fight we did. I'll have better information when we go back to redo some of these battles, last night we were just going for clears so we only did each fight once. I'm sure we'll be doing this one a lot as many people are interested in Mollusca Mantle (and with good reason).

He has something weird going on with a Doom Aura, but it never lasted long enough on anyone to kill them. Not sure what that was about.

[Colenzo]

It has a poison aura and a doom aura? I only heard people in ally saying its poison aura was 100/tick

[Slycer]

People were getting doomed and saying it was wearing off quickly, possibly an aura. I didn't run in close to the mob and I never got doomed. I doubt it was from a TP move because that would be pointless if it consistently wore off before it killed you.

[Colenzo]

Weird, yeah it also has a pretty strong poison aura like with most uragnites. Shit was raping people when we were zergin it down.

Silver mirrors drop off the old fights too, got one from Havaha earlier and a couple off the old T3's.

[Arthars]

just curious....anyone got a comet proc? XD

[Tarubaby]

Zilart tier 1 Tiamat Ifrit's Cauldron - Glassblower's Belt.

[Khiinroye]

Calcitrant Stole from Neith (Zilart T1, Uggalepih)
Gram from Ildebrann (Zilart T1, Ifrit's Cauldron)
Valseur's ring from Holy Moly (Zilart T1, Yuhtunga jungle)

[Khiinroye]

Edit: Didn't even see that it double posted, was adding info in the other one.

[Khiinroye]

Zilart T1: Elshimo is vivid periapt of adaptability
Zilart T1: Zepwell is dusky periapt of adaptability.

Chela cape on Malleator Maurok (Zilart T1, Quicksand Caves)
Psychist shield from Sabotender Campeador (Zilart T1, Western Altepa Desert)

For the Sabotender, we just zerged it, had an ochain pld hold the adds so it wouldn't summon more and level up. We barely made it, with 5-6 refills of fanatic's drinks, didn't get much red though.

When you finish the three fights for a leg (elshimo or zepwell) there is a cutscene at the corresponding npc in Kazham and Rabao. After both of those cutscenes (all 6 T1 killed), return to Kieran, then talk to Gilgamesh, and finally Kieran again. You then get the ashen stratum abyssite II. Insert pokemon evolution music here.

Zilart T1 looks like 5000 base xp and 7000 base cruor.

SE WOULD put the DRG belt on the hardest of the new VW. They screwed us with Gargoyle Boots and Skanda Boots before, not surprised this belt is gonna be a pain to get also. SE hates letting DRG have nice things -_-.
