Colonization Thread

I honestly don't see the issue. The flag option is not there anymore so you'll just have to wait another week for the armor to show up (signboard is now the default option).
And I guess I'm the only one spamming Mummers on Asura lol, it gives a decent chunk of exp and bayld too (3600 with 3 imp.). I haven't tried the Rala Waterways one yet and that may be faster to spam, idk.

This is the issue, basically. The weapons are useless, so we effectively wasted a week.

The Scouts Coalition ranked up, and made the Flag, but no new maps are available from Sifa. Does anyone know what the flag actually did?

It's here in your next sentence

If people weren't retards we could have had them.

Just what it said the flag would do: add map marking npcs.

[Obsidian]

Ohh, I found her. She stands at the door and not actually in the coalition. Derp.

This.

One week isn't going to kill you. Get some more bayld and buy all this stuff next week when it unlocks. In the meantime try to work on other coalitions too so you'll be able to buff this stuff even more (assuming increasing Inventor's may have an effect on gear buffs too).
I'd be pissed too if the flag option didn't disappear but it does.

[Michelob]

Doesn't seem very intuitive but it may be possible that coalitions that fall just short of a rank up may have some carry over to the next conquest update. As I mentioned before, there was some serious attempt on phoenix to level up inventors on the last half day or so of this conquest being that it was the only one not slated for an increase. We fell short but nearly immediately afterwards, it says we have been remarkable and are slated for level up. Seeing as most of the people interested in the rings had already burned their tags just before conquest, there very well could have been carry over.

[Tymon]

The fact alone that we have to wait a week to unlock this stuff is ridiculous enough.

Presumably there's some invisible barrier that's preventing colonization from getting anywhere, too. Is any server even over 25%?

[Chamaan]

I wonder if the Trailblazing HELM items have anything to do with Colonization...

Ceizak 24%, Yahse 35% on Shiva. Ceizak was flipping between 25 and 26% last night before I went to bed.

That Yahse 35% is a big number, we need to figure out why that is above the 24/25/26 cap that everyone else has reported. I assume they are 3/3 on Bivouacs, what else?

edit: what is your coalition status, is everything at least rank 1?

edit 2: oh, nvm, see post below.

[Guitarman]

sorry 25% not 35. I fat-fingered the keyboard.

[Tsuneo]

The normal on Odin is making it to 26% then dropping to 23% again.

[Calintzpso]

26% on yahse on Quetz, but it follows the same pattern as others, drops 3% then makes its way back up.

I swear I'm the only person doing mummers...the bayld and exp is epic over the others...Raptor fights are cool too...but I just wish there was an option down the road for them to put in a gentlemen's club.

There's still the other 5 ranks left! ;D

Personally, I've seen requests before for a Gold Saucer like area in FFXI. Hoping that this is their attempt, and in an update not far away, we'll see an emergence of powerful gear and items able to be bought with the medals.

On a related note to Mummer's, been messing around with the Boom or Bust game and it feels bugged, or I'm misunderstanding something. After stacking up a few games on the table, the game seems to incorrectly report the NPCs actions. The first time it happened, turn 1 he rolled and I rolled a 6, turn 2 he stayed and I rolled a 3, immediately said huh and stayed after, only to see he had 11... This pattern then continues until I choose not to play again, and it seems fixed again upon going into another game. Maybe it's a trick he gets to use once you get a couple wins on him similar to the tricks you get. Its a fun distraction, but not really worth the gil/bayld since ties are essentially loses, though they don't seem to ruin your hot streak count.

Anyways, back to padding my medal count for that Omnisl...err, eventual update adding badass shit.

Is there some kind of trick to A stones throw away? I've mined like 50 times and no marble

[Tsuneo]

It's just luck; I went 1/5 on the marble.

I was over 70 attempts before the adjustment. I did make 4m off the other ores though, so at least there is that.

[Calintzpso]

At least you can find the points and get something...

Oh hey found one! One dig, A fucking pebble!(or something of the sort) woo...*mining point vanishes*

Yeah I'm getting mostly crap otherwise... I'm up to 70 now. And I brought my mules along lol
