Meeble Burrows Findings

[Xenhas]

Did they ninja add in Stun immunity for Umagrhk? Wouldn't land from Weapon Bash or Stun when we did it today.

It seems to have been like this for a little while now.
Your best bet is to double up or more on stuns. Spell + bash or WS (bash+hobaku) seems to be pretty consistent for my group.

Umegrhk has a chance to flat out resist all magic, additional effects from ws, and damage when the shield is up, so try to take that off before it drops below 40%ish

Stunned the monkey last night without a problem I could have sworn he had the buff up but I could be mistaken. (Was a sch/blm with Eseal)

just did the MB boss (monkey) for the first time today trio

setup RNG(annihilatoer) SCH/RDM(me) and PLD with Aegis. won with like 10 sec left. improvements for next time: PLD will use ochain because most of it moves are phyiscal and rng will sub SAM instead of war and eat r.acc food. some coronachs missed when shield was up. Shield bash is fuckign golden for beastruction! This setup prolly wont work anymore after the embrava nerf :/

anyway we never were in any real danger because the pld basicly took litte dmg. and with my fastcast + recast magian staff for light magic erases were flying fast and no debuffs were on on the pld. Enmity got a bit iffy towards the last remaining 2~ min because the rng probably reached haste cap by that time.


Drops: legs and earring ^-^

2x RNG(annihilator) + 1x PLD 1x SCH could smoke this in probably half of the time.

Just posted this on dat mining discussion thread but probably more appropriate here:

Here's the list of potential random candidates for worm items. Some of these are obviously going to be much rarer than others.
When you turn in the worms you can either get one of the Palimpsest items, or a random from the lists below:

Random replacement items:

10x Wizened Tunnel Worm: Petrified Log, Super Reraiser, Hi-Ether, Fish Bones, Yellow Curry Bun, Prize Powder, Tukuku Whiteshell, Dervish Sword

5x Wizened Morion Worm: Hyper Potion, 1 Byne Bill, Gold Thread, Remedy, Quadav Belt, Miratete's Memoirs, Mahogany Log, Angel Skin, Ankylosis Wand

1x Wizened Phantom Worm: Panacea, Powder Boots, Ordelle Bronzepiece, Hi-Elixir, Flame Gem, Imperial Wootz Ingot, Yagudo Belt, 100 Byne Bill, Adflictio

Each category has one exclusive item you can only get from this worm trade (Prize Powder / Quadav Belt / Yagudo Belt) and one rare/ex item you can only otherwise get from Meeble Burrows bosses (Dervish Sword / Ankylosis Wand / Adflictio).

[NynJa]

The worm reward you get from missions seems to be random, I've gotten completely different results on all my chars every time.

[Jem]

Regarding the stun resistance, I guess we just got unlucky then. Only noticed because Beastruction went off so tried stunning again after that attempt a few times, never with shield up.

I think the worm rewards rotate somewhat as I've gotten an Orc Belt and I know someone else in the group has too (along with Quadav Belt plus 100 Byne the bastard). Worms rewarded are definitely random though as we have always got different rewards on different characters. We've only ever seen 1 Phantom Worm across all chars so they seem rare-ish (out of 11 runs using 6 chars).

[Slycer]

Worms are random, but the rarity is along the same lines as the reward structure (tunnel is definitely the most common, I've seen up to 5 or so per expedition). Maybe Phantom is exclusive to boss expeditions or something? Morion I know I've seen like 2 per expedition max. Phantom I haven't gotten yet.

We have had multiple runs with over 20 tunnel worms to 1 person. Highest Ive got was 28.

[Jem]

The Phantom Worm we got wasn't from a Boss expedition as that was what we thought too until someone got one. The lowest worms I've seen as high as 33 personally, I thought it was awesome my main got 21 and the checked my mule to see she got 33. Pretty sure someone else in the group got more though.

It does seem to be tied in somewhat with the overall rank you get for the run though. I know we Rank 2'ed two runs and got really crappy worm rewards in comparison to the 3's.

[dannyl]

At first I thought getting worm amounts was tired to 'your contribution' ie, like how campaign works, you do more, you get more, you get a kill shot you get credit, etc. Least thats what my thought was until I saw how much a healing mule was getting @.@

Not the full list of rewards each type of worms can give. Gotten several items not listed, aside from the Palimpsest papers. I believe this is the list of items the meeble brings up when a person talks to it.

[macross]

Yeah can get phantoms on non boss. Both ours were from non boss. Most I've gotten is 22 worms, but it's random regardless of contribution, cause I got as low as 2 once...

They got time to do this, why not make a similar system where you give crystal petrifacts to a moogle and get random shit too.

[dannyl]

Unrelated - if anyone has done or is doing any expeditions post-update, can you please repost here how many marks you get, especially if you do a boss or any run with 4-6 people? Since they upped the marks for 4-6 people, I'm going to have to go through all the expeditions again to figure out how many marks each one gives.

Did Researcher #5 boss Samursk boss last night (who is an asshole), 6 man, got 4800 research marks

[Buffy]

I have several questions:

Can I tri-box this reliably, up to and including the final boss, and get win?

I have created a list of gear I think I want, a total of 215k marks. If I play regularly, with the goal of farming marks, how many runs am I looking at?

I play BLM and COR seriously, with sch/whm/rdm used situationally, and blu used exclusively for aby-whisker burn.

This is the gear I want, am I missing anything? I used this page to find drops: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Meeble_Burrows/Rewards

Medala Cape - Cure Casting time.
Thall Mantle - Ranged Attack/Accuracy for regular TP on cor.
Veikr Pumps - Enfeeble skill for blm, sch, and lolrdm.
Akasha Chaps - Max damage unresisted nuking set on blm. My @1 drop if I go with a group.
Hieros Mittens - Cursna macro.
Manasa Chasuble - Enhancing Body because <^> Ceaeno.
Domine's Grip - Cure Casting Time because I like to keep my galkan meat shields alive.

Am I missing anything obvious?

[Yugl]

Swith Cape+1 is general fast cast and only 1% less (Medala)
No point worrying about Veikr until resistant mobs appear
Hiero has more uses, but definitely is a steep price
If you don't have the refresh+2 hat, Manasa is lame; you're going to need Heka's for BLM cures, so that will provide equivalent refresh. Anhur still has fast cast. If you're at 500 skill with the body, then that's fine, but pretty meh otherwise.

Orunmila is a piece you didn't mention. Absolutely powerful piece when played with other options:

Magian: 14
Nares cap: 10
Orunmila: 5
Anhur Robe: 10
Swith+1: 4
Fea Legs: 5
Chelona/Argute Feet: 5

Total: 53% Fast Cast

Sub RDM: 68% Fast Cast
Main RDM: 83% Fast Cast (Caps at 80%)

[Buffy]

Thanks for your response Yugl, always appreciate your contributions.

Refresh +2 hat? You mean AF2 + 2 for rdm? Is there another refresh +2 hat I don't know about?
Yah, I'd prefer Anhur, but I'm a couple hundred runs into Caleano with no drop at this point, and I'm 14/15 on Nyzul gear with no desire to go back, so my motivation to do Celeano is pretty low.
I did overlook that neck item, due to the fact that I typically devalue fast cast. I'd have to play with Cure macros, see if what you mentioned can fit with a 50% cure pot build for rdm/sch/whm too.
I do have Heka's, for the record.

Any thoughts on my tri-boxing question?

[NynJa]

U might as well get that last nyzul piece while SE has it super easy mode

I don't know why you would want to tri-box when you get more marks for more people. It looks like you're interested mainly in research marks items? It's a waste of time to go with 3 people in that case. I can understand if you want to tri-box some of the bosses or whatever, but definitely get a group for marks.

All of the bosses can be trio'd, even easier now with the new buff items from the worm npc.

[macross]

There's prob a few that would be hard to tribox, like the kill at the same time mission.

[fantasticdan]

AF3+2 for smn, I think those are the only two.
