From my perspective, much the same as Nameless, Scarlet Delirium is so far beyond situational that it borders on worthless. The potential for a damage increase is there, but it's about like grabbing a free Haste with Absorb-Attri; it's awesome when it works and when it lasts longer than 30 seconds. Nevertheless, any mob with an AoE or conal TP move that is gonna reliably and predictably deal 40%+ of your HP is the kind of mob that you'll now be doing 20% more damage to, take hate, and have your face torn the fuck off in three hits or less.

Souleater is manageable, you can drop Guillotine to get some damage out of it and then click it off. You know when you're gonna lose that HP and how much. You're pissing the mob off predictably and can have Seigan or Dread Spikes up preemptively. Scarlet Delirium brings the horror of "Holy shit, I actually got SD to work on that 1000 damage I took, and it only took spamming it for two hours! Should I leave it up for e-peen or should I be responsible and click it off after one WS because I'm still at half-HP because my WHM is a wiseass who doesn't use higher than Cure 4 on non-tanks."

Some people live in this magical perfect world where an ability works exactly as written 100% of the time. Souleater is always at 100% HP, Sneak Attack is always up for their next WS, you shield block TP moves every time and never eat the en-petrify because you're never caught in your WS set... etc. Scarlet Delirium has too many 'ifs', like not taking a stray melee hit and getting 2% of out of as opposed to 20% or eating a one-shot because you played loose with Hasso over Seigan because you wanted SD to actually do something.

Running around first floor of Delkfutt's, noticed a shadow on the floor which was a Planar Rift on the 2nd floor. Climbed up there, noticed another shadow offset from the rift I found which probably means yet another on the 3rd floor.

White Stratum Abyssite III. Popped DRK/SAM with S/TE and Dread Spikes up. Akvan, black and reddish-brown ahriman. Third Eye worked, Missed him twice in a row to start off (GS, no merits, no food, not surprising) but then hit him for zero, so he either spawns with stoneskin up or is immune to physical. Dread Spikes worked for 50% returned both times (and then the 18hp remainder), so probably hard magic-resistant to boot. Casted Silencega. Hit me for ~450 with one Additional Effect: Stun.

Scarlet Delirium is based on a stupid fucking mechanic, and it has BEEN a stupid fucking mechanic since Afflatus Misery was released.

**Kryton** · 2011-09-05 00:13

I did not see anything about Dynamis Tavnazia except for a link with some pics.

Mobs drop "herald's juju" and when taken to the a ??? in the former Diabolos room pops a Diabolos for the win.

Diabolos Club

Fought with NIN DNC DNC BST and won at 95.

Drops a Fiendish Tomb II: Chapter 14

Several TEs scatter through out.

1 on the 3rd floor by "In the Name of Science" NPC (Prototype Eye 20 min)

1 roaming on the 2nd floor where the Nightmare worms are (Stone).

1 on the 2nd floor directly below the "In the name of Science NPC" (this is hardest, guarded by true sight Taurus)

1 in the far back of the 2nd floor where the Fomors normally pop.

Mobs range from EP to T as far as I can tell, getting harder the higher or farther in you go.

Same ??? asks for Ch. 14, 15, 16, 17 and my guess it is for Arch Diabolos.

Edit: Popped another and spawned Diabolos Spade and dropped another Ch 14.

Edit 2: Found the last TE, but not sure where the position is, sorry will find out later (AH area).

Edit 3: Kindred Dragoon dropped Fiendish Tome II: Chapter 15.

Edit 4: Nightmare Leech dropped Ch. 16, just need Ch. 17 for Arch Diabolos.

Scarlet Delirium is not cool at all.

Anyone else get this?

Not much of a confirmation on that screen

**Kryton** · 2011-09-05 03:47

Some info on WoE Conflux 2 Slimes

Did the usual and sac pulled. We did kill a few small slimes, no drop what so ever, just med replenish.

Each Boss has some mini slimes. After sac pull, when you defeat the boss, the corresponding mini slimes depop.

After all the boss slimes were defeated, many treasure chests popped everywhere. There was no main chest that we could find to open and put into the pool.

The new system allows each person to receive their own pool, much like voidwatch. 3 ppl can click the same box and they will load their own pool. The multitudes of boxes popping everywhere is for convenience to access your treasure after a fight.

Conflux was won by DNC DNC BST without much difficulty (95).

Only 2 Coins of Ruin were seen and the rest was junk.

I dunno, I feel this way we receive less coins than the previous method but everyone gets a pool.

The pic shows he used the brew, hence his HP and MP are ticking up.

Unfortunately, we timed out right after trying to find the boss so we were not able to test the damage.

I think that S-E figured the secret for making people want to do otherwise ignored content. Now let's see them put some brews in to Garrison.

**Arthars** · 2011-09-05 10:01

in 2014 where FFXI is struggling to retain its member, all jobs get the ability "Brew"

**ronin sparthos** · 2011-09-05 10:08

Brews again? Fucking SE, stop ruining the game with instant win buttons.

**Arthars** · 2011-09-05 10:33

ur avatar and signature are also instant win ability!!!!!!!!!! should rename the manga to Sharingan

**ronin sparthos** · 2011-09-05 10:44

lol, even more fitting since the sauce is back to active status in the manga.

Man, that brew news is easily the worst new thing noted so far.

Nice shop

**Ladydeathstrike** · 2011-09-05 12:08

For SD drk can equip full jse and kubira bead neck, pop diabolic eye and it could make a normal mobs hit provide a larger boost if doing something like woe and are fighting the smaller mobs

**Nameless** · 2011-09-05 12:22

Rancor Collar will do for neck.
