Chloris, Ulhuadshi, Glavoid, Itz when I did those the grellow drops was always, coin, coin, card, coin respectively.

I have actually had both of Ovni's drops without TH or grellow while soloing on DNC. So I'm not exactly sure you need grellow for any of them.

Ok. Prior to them announcing the VS nerf I solo'd up 24 Chloris buds, 8 ulhuadshi fangs, have another pop for each. Anyway, is the nerf so bad I should give up on verethragna and burn up drk or drg to swap weapons? I have yet, fortunately, to cash in a single bud.

Not really, no.

Alright thanks, that's consistent with my experience. I soloed 50 helms worth of briareus with blu TH1+1 and no yellow, and ended up with around 18 jewels, and 0 stones. Timed spawn giants I've had drop both of their respective +2 items.

Even if the nerf made drk or drg more powerful than empyrean it wouldn't be good to switch seeing as both scythe and polearm are meh.

as long as you dont trigger chainspell/100fist, you shouldnt have a problem. Theres a small leeway in damage should you heal it without triggering 2hr, but dont risk it: keep fanatics/fools ready.

What condition do I have to set so the tuning fork tarus stop being total cockbags:

Spoiler: show

And instead are nice tarus who dont have a pointless 5 minute cutscene:

Might be wrong, but think there was a program called FFXIMC. It might be semi-JP, but can figure it out with tinkering.

Also, the bee's that drop white honey? They drop royal jelly, but its a shitty, SHITTY drop rate even with TH7. Not that I care, the money from farmed dawn muslin, horey sheeet.

I'm getting a friend with wood working to make divine sap for me so I can close the gap to 99 since Kitron's litter the AH now from voidwatch. I've got 4 stacks of those, I'm hoping that once I hit 10 I can just power through to 99 and then the last level wont be hell on wheels.

If I remember correctly, that second one is if you don't trade in your whisper to make the Tarutaru forget ever meeting you. (The first time you use the 6 whispers to get a Moon bauble for Fenrir.)

How hard are the lost NMs in the dyna zones. Example: Lost Barong?

I got a Nightmare Roast to pop it, but I am not sure if I want to toss or not.

Can't comment on how strong they are, however the pop items are really common drops so feel free to drop without worries.

**Bootykilla** · 2012-01-18 08:51

Been out of loop for month or two, Can anyone point me to latest MNK gear, TP and VS sets?

**Ricekid** · 2012-01-18 08:51

I was wonder is there a specific amber/azure I should aim for when I am farming hairpins and dark rings? Do I go to 255 on each or will that make more temps pop up. Just wondering what people's testimonial for refresh hairpin. TY

**Lqdsilver** · 2012-01-18 08:53

Any thoughts on the augmented warrior's cuisses+2?

I've always capped out amber and azure. Amber to get more gold boxes and azure because I'm usually on BLU and CW'ing families.

you need tier 3+ gold chests to get aug items, but i believe tier 4-5 chests can have more than 1 aug item in them. either way, cap amber. other than that cap pearl for increased chest rate. building azure/ruby will only give you more blue/red chests that could have been gold. if you're going to spend more than 2 hrs at it tho you'll need azure for TEs obviously. https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Sturdy_Pyxis

somewhat related question: are the augments on items in higher tier gold chests better or is it completely random?

**dasva** · 2012-01-18 09:45

I haven't really noticed a big difference between capped amber and like T3 for quality. I have noticed a bit of a difference having more ebon though

**Aja** · 2012-01-18 09:52

Messing around with PUP. Are there any pieces of the artifact or relic sets that I would actually use?

Lost Barong is probably the worst of the lot. Spams Body Slam for as much as 1.8k+ damage and has more than a 20' range. As with all the Lost NMs in the zone the best bet is to bring enough people so that you can zerg it before stagger wears. Or bring BRD and SMN for EA/Scherzo.

Might have somewhat better luck with a NIN and healer if you can keep the healer out of range of TP moves.

I'm planning to spend the weekend trying to get my BRD up to speed, and need +2 items from Amhuluk and harp from Hm'Zdei. I'm going to shout for groups / get LS to help , but if I have trouble finding people, can they be soloed/duoed/trioed?

My BST has pet -98% PDT and pet -60% MDT build (ducal guard, zenith, 2x PDT axes, AF3+2 legs, MKD head), plus pet acc +25, pet haste +10% (acp body, ferine back, moepapa stone, mkd head). Would prefer to get a group obviously, but I have almost no buddies left playing this game.

Thanks!

Dipper should be fine on amuluhk, with the natural wind resistance
