DAT MINING DISCUSSIONS -- December 14th 2011

[transmit]

Farmed up Fang / Stone / Bone, traded it to Degenhard for an Olde Rarab Taile. Apparently a usable item. Gonna try again now.

[Maurauc]

I'm not sure how accurate the goblins are for the daily reward system, but he offered the chance of a beastly shank for me. That could save on quite a few KS99s if it were true!

Just offered blue pondweed singed buffalo, which I believe is a Tyger pop? I like this gobbie.

[macross]

It's just 1 merit or 5 hkc to reflag the quest.

[transmit]

Ok you use the Olde Taile on him during the fight. It causes him to run around like mad, trying to avoid you for about 1-2 minutes or so. I guess its supposed to be used on Hundred Fists. However afterwards we were still able to kill him where we failed before, we just seemed to be doing more damage, and him not WS'ing as fast, but no real proof on that.

[scaevola]

Next question is if you can use multiple tails in a single fight.

[muhn]

whats the drop rate on the fossil stuff and can it be found on mobs that you get seasoning stone from?

[transmit]

The drop rate on the fossil stuff is pretty high. About the same drop rate as the stones to be honest. We got bones from Puks in Boyhada, and Fangs from the worms and Adamantoise mobs in Gustav, but I guess they drop in other places.

[Koyangi]

Between my wife and I we'll be breaking limit on 5 characters. Do I need a seasoning stone for everyone, and if I want the Rarab Tail, just 1 set of the bone and fang?

[transmit]

You need a seasoning stone for everyone who will take part, plus 1 more for the weakening item. You trade an extra stone / fang / bone to Degenhard in Bastok for the item

Just won with MNK MNK DRG WHM WHM SMN (I was dual boxing a mnk and whm and so was the other WHM in our group.) Tried a more traditional approach once and failed before the win, he has high Regain as he was WSing us after people went down and no one was getting hit/hitting him. Enfire is huge damage.

Just did PD > 2 HF +Angon approach. Got it to 8% before PD wore, HF was up at that time and he raped us, left us at 1% and I casted poison 2 and ran like a girl. Somehow worked... that item from the other two items seems like it might be worth the time, lol.

[Diomer]

Anyone bring out the old KC DRK zerg combined with PD on it to see if it resists it?

Spoiler: show

Indeed it is. KS99 pops, Lik and various worthwhile stuff (including latest automaton attachments) is in it too. Used up 50 tally points just to see and got ruszor fang lol

Edit: Pirate's Chart. Maybe we can make some sort of a thread in Media maybe for ll the possibilities including how many tally points it took for what?

[scaevola]

Lik? hahaha

Any sign of anything he'll take?

[Prothescar]

The merit ability enhancements make me wonder... if you don't have the ability/trait merited, will the "Enhances" augments give you tier one of that trait/ability... hm... will be interesting to find out and may solve BLU's Diffusion/Convergence issue.

[Hirronimus]

Lik? hahaha

Scrolls with Rare and Abyssea pop items no go.

Edit:
Yes - Cardian Cards (5pts); Quadav Fetish items (1pt); WG quest items (3pts); Desert Venom[Zilart quest items](1pt);

No - Pink/Pearl/Teale gear; Scrolls; Abyssea pops; Advent. Coupon;

You can get up to 10 points per day by trading items.

[octoblush]

Anyone figure out how to start the next Voidwatch chapter? I went and talked to Gilgamesh and got a CS, then to the column in Pashhow (S) and got another CS. Now I don't know what.

Edit: Figured it out. After those two it's any Officer > Audience Chamber in Ru'Lude.

[Maurauc]

He offered me a Novio Earring. I'll take 5!
I made a thread to compile all the goblin stuff; I figured there's going to be a lot of items to trade to him, and to compile it somewhere would be handy.

[phafi]

Lik? hahaha

he took a timeworn talisman

[Hirronimus]

Also the message he gives when trading "smidge" for 1-2 points and somewhats for 3-5 points. I don't know if 5 points is max per item, as I reached my cap for the day.

[Byrthnoth]

. . . . Phaffi . . . . . . . god damn it.
