Voidwatch Test Server Findings

**Churchill** · 2011-08-30 14:09

The only thing you can say for sure is that the one we fought and beat in Crawler's Nest [S] was of an entirely different difficulty level than the one we fought in Qufim. I actually can't say I've ever fought something so rediculous as Kaggen before in this game (not in terms of 9000 days of PW or AV, just in terms of not being able to move its hp bar lol), so it will be interesting to see how you handle him.

He:
Doesn't take physical damage
Takes decent damage from magic (though lower than normal)
Takes decent damage from Bloodpacts
Seems to have a potent auto regen
*May have a hate reset
Randomly AoE's 1k+ damage, loves to do this when he's on the move
Defense Down / Magic Defense Down are potent
Has a ton of HP (6k Zantesuken didn't touch his HP Bar)
*I think the gravity aura / gravity effect triggered the hate reset/shifting of hate, because there's really no other reason for him to have moved off of me as I wasn't taking "that much" damage.

Do the fights on test server award xp/cruor? Presumably that would scale with tier.

**Zzsark** · 2011-08-30 14:16

As far as determining tiers goes if anyone that hasn't already gotten all of the KIs wants to go check they can, because when I first logged on I ran out to check the one in qufim prior to getting all of them and it told me what level of abyssite I needed which was a T3 for Jeuno zones. Rolanberry (probably each of the 3 areas connected to jeuno) was T1. Would kinda be a pain cause you would have to walk to each of the rifts rather than getting ported close to them but can be checked if someone wants to do it.

I would wager this means he just has hidden hp like T3 voidwalkers. I can't imagine him actually having 300k+ HP.

**Churchill** · 2011-08-30 14:19

I don't think that was the case, it did move and it just didn't move an acceptable amount. He probably also (Like most other VW stuff) takes reduced damage so you may be looking at 150k, which I wouldn't be surprised with. Other groups with 18 said they got it to 80%ish but I wasn't there so I can't comment on how it was done and it's without windower so the exact percentage is arbitrary.

**Slycer** · 2011-08-30 14:48

Yeah, for Jeuno I was thinking Rolanberry/Sauromugue/Batallia (& past versions) as tier 1, CN/Garlaige/Eldieme (& past) as tier 2, and Qufim areas as tier 3. Just a guess, though.

For Zilart I have no idea, although I'd have to think that the ones in sky would be the tier 3 of the set.

Sagacious Sundi · 2011-08-30 15:01

Based on the order the quests are listed, I'd guess Elshimo -> Zepwell (Altepa/Kuftal/Quicksand) -> Li'Telor -> Tu'Lia

Qufim and sky are definitely last for their regions, since those Voidwalkers have titles. But it also seems like there's one more fight in the Walk of Echoes.

I noticed that in the quest log also, and I'm guessing that's just a CS that ends this set of Voidwatch. First set ended with CS at the conflux in Pashhow (S), but most of the CS itself took place in WoE.

He has a visible HP Bar, and it definitely moves. There was enough HP to notice it missing during the SMN trial & error.

Ah, yes. I do think we got EXP after killing the wamoura/campa but I don't recall how much, but it was pretty sizable since I had died upteen times with several home points and reraises and had more than 27k. (27k being the base buffer they give you)

[Obv, this was after I got on SMN]

edit: fuck i didn't mean to make two posts, oh well

**ronin sparthos** · 2011-08-30 23:15

Didn't see these in the OP:

Western Altepa Desert spawns the Sabotender Campeador (Blooming Cactuar) + 5 Sabotender Mercenarios and Rolanberry Fields spawns a Bennu-type Roc named Yatagarasu.

Rocl lets go test!

**Churchill** · 2011-08-31 00:43

Just did Amphitere in Rolan S again:

Same TP moves, spells hit hard - through EA/Scherzo, through MDT sets, through Perfect Defense

Same thing with abilities, Calamitous Wind did 1674 to me (PLD)

We won but I definitely feel 3 parties, each self sustaining of 2xDD's SMN WHM BRD (RNG/SMN/BLM/COR) getting swapped in would work best. There's really no way to avoid dying because his AI is really awesome and follows Warped Wail with Calamatous Wind/Aeroja/AeroV/AerogaIV and follows those with the same.

Care to elaborate? :<

**Churchill** · 2011-08-31 00:49

I was hit for 1200 damage 45s into PD by Calamatous Wind

Aeroja did 212 5s into PD, this was at lower % so he may get stronger as his HP gets lower

**Churchill** · 2011-08-31 02:01

Pil - Caturae - Behemoth's Dominion

Seemed to take decent damage from Physical attacks, not as much as the Amphitere in Rolan[S]

Casted Comet, AM1, Silencega, Breakga, Slowga, GaIV

Bishops Gambit - Heals Pil and grants him a Physical Shield
Shah Mat - Terror + Doom gaze ++ Magical Shield
Flank Opening - AoE 1kish damage + DEF down aura (May open it back up to all damage forms? speculation)
Malign Invocation - Amnesia (not 100%? didnt hit me) same as regular move

Edit: Hits moderately hard. Non-ochain blocks for 350ish, blocks 60-100, crit blocks 150. Non-PLD's hit for 550+
Edit2: AM1 did not hit very hard in MDT set + ShellV, Flare was 300ish, Flood was 150ish
Edit3: Slow attack speed

**Churchill** · 2011-08-31 02:49

Giltine - Corse - The Eldieme Necropolis [S]

Took decent damage, I did a 646 CDC, BLU did 1k+ both without zerk/meds/food. Resisted Heavy Strike, QuadC did 200ish. Regular attacks hit for 70-150, saw a 690 against the BLM and RNG so again, hits hard but takes damage.

Magic:
Only saw ThunderIV, Sleepga, Dispelga, fight didn't last long. ThunderIV did 513 in -mdt set and my (capped lv95 enhancing) ShellIV

TP Moves
Hadal Summons - this can be stunned, I took 1796 from this but it was also AoE and it was scaled in terms of distance/damage
Final Retribution - Looks to be AoE/Blockable by shadows/shield. Absorbed by 2 shadows, blocked for 43 dmg

Don't have any other notes, we didn't have a WHM, just BLM PLD BLU RNG so it wasn't too long of a test lol.

Edit: Slow attack speed

I'm thinking that's the tier structure. Zepwell/Elshimo for T1 Zilart, Li'Telor for T2, Tu'Lia for T3. Areas outside Jeuno for T1 Jeuno, dungeons in those areas for T2 Jeuno, Qufim areas for T3 Jeuno. Anyone know the names of the mobs in Zi'Tah, Boyahda Tree, Ifrit's Cauldron, and Kuftal Tunnel? I know people have spawned all of those areas, but all I've seen were mob types and no names.
