Question for the reward quest in the library. I can choose 1 item from tier 2 and I am stuck trying to decide:

Should I keep spamming Hurkans for a chance at the melee hat or take the mage hat from Yumcax since he is not fought as much. That hat looks pretty sweet for mages but I can't help but think Nares may still win out.

I opted for a Yumcax drop for that very reason, Hurkan gets fought more often.

Do you really need it now? Because if you don't I'd reccommend continuing to fight both as you see them and then once you get one pick the other. Overall faster to get both.

[Squah]

Hat was the only thing I wanted from Hurkan, whereas I want literally everything from Yumcax. So, I picked up the zapdos cap because it'll save me time and anguish pver doing Hurkan 10 times to get the hat all the while getting drops I don't want.

Question about SoA Mission 1-6.


https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Seekers_o...in_Mission_1-6

Can anyone confirm this? I've completed 42 SoA quests so far (6 unique quests left...unless mog garden quests give fame?), am nearing 40 used imprimaturs and haven't got a CS yet for Dinner Invite.

My mule did only 4 quests and it took him 60 imps to get dinner invite.

While it may save you the emotional stress it shouldn't really save you time in the end because the last peice you want from yumcax will do the same thing except instead of getting drops you don't want you will get drops you already have lol

True but it does save time and bayld on spamming the fight. I think I have decided on trying to kill hurkan one more time and if he does not drop the hat, I will just buy it. Hurkan only has one item I want and Yumcax at least has the hat and club to shoot for :D

That's what I was talking about. It saves on the short term. But long term assuming you are still going for stuff it will take just as long spamming for the last item of one as just 2 of another. Of course this is assuming similar odds. If hat is better droprate then the worst of yumcax you'd actually end up with less fights fought on average going for that. If not it would be the same number of fights fought. Of course with colo rates the way they are it also means you will spend more time on the yumcax fights themselves but by the same token more likely to get.

But this is why I decided to play the wait and see game. So I can spam whichever one I see shouted for and to get more fights in sooner. And to avoid the "last" drop effect on whichever one gets to that point last. Really wish SE would change that though. Given the amount of farming and the length of the fight getting the same item over and over is kinda horribad

Don't forget the stats on Soothesayer changing to macc+135. Club still good for cures but that's all now.

You mean soon . But yeah there is that. Same goes for most wkr drops now I think. Assuming they stay the same. That said some people can get wkr drops easy on mules while getting plasm weapons harder or more work then they want. And blu can't use soothsayer!

[Rocl]

So I redid the RUN LB (Endeavoring to Awaken) but can't figure out how to progress now?

When I did it the first time I got an Enlightened Endeavor upon winning, and I lost my Ephemeral Endeavor upon entering the BCNM.

Of note the tarutaru didn't spawn this time, but I still kicked Braga's ass all the same. Now Octavien wants 50k gil, 5000 bayld or 10 beastmen seals for me to retry -__-

Edit: Now I zoned to Jeuno to get beastmen seals and he gave me another Ephemeral Endeavor to enter the BCNM >___>

Bah, for the record it's probably a game day wait, 50k gil, 5000 bayld or 10 seals. I just saw Taim's post now saying it doesn't give bayld for repeats sooo gonna stop now but I tried twice more and both times the tarutaru never popped and it never gave me the clear

[Taim Meich]

Yeah, it's odd... You can repeat the fight apparently every day (or more often, if paying as you say, I did not see that), but I bet it's only "for fun". I'm okay with that, all fights should be repeatable without having to go with someone that didn't clear them.

which is most easily accessed from (L-5) Eastern Adoulin.

Is this a typo, or is there a way to get to L-5 in East Adoulin? Map shows it way off the user-accessible area.

Need me some primps put into Mummers. Any recommended jobs for it at any rate? Bats in the zone pound my poor mnk.

[dasva]

Sorta. There is another zone spot from rala to eastern but it's currently unavailable. Like you have to go thru walls in rala to get to that exit and it puts you out near the castle in eastern and no idea where/how to get back. It might change one day that note might have come from reading dats.

As far as mummers I don't think bats are an options anyways... I'd just do research rala for slugs maybe team up and till you get probationer then boost foret for easy/fast rank up if that's what you going for

[Kaisha]

Oh, I know bats aren't, I just aggro'd one and was surprised at how hard it was hitting me, and just assumed the rest of that side of the zone was the same mob-lvl. Thankfully you can force de-aggro in that zone with the gates.

Weird that the article suggests going there when it's impossible though, guess I got some running to do since I need 10 tag's worth for next rank.

Indeed. I ended up doing Hurkan last night aaaaaaand I got a wootze ore. nothing else. I can only guess it meant that SE wanted to give me another grip and a cape I already had....

Needless to say, I now have my hat and am done with the RNG BS unless I see a random Yumcax shout that looks solid.

You don't need anything from future delve, when some update even further in the future will replace that gear.

Save your time and don't play at all!

What exactly are you saving the bayld for if not wkr? Mog garden stuff? Even lower lvl content gear from peacekeepers?


Also while said in jest there is definitely that feeling of whiplash with the rapid progression and why play for some.

How does enmity work on Apkallu? I've gotten agro from them a couple times and despite damaging them with a BP, my avatar was completely unable to take hate.
