Colonization Thread

[Apeman]

First time logging in after three days and Ceizak is up to 36% col. rate. Yashe at 28% but one of the bivouacs is gone now while Morimar 14% and Foret 16%, each with one bivouac. Did i miss something about how we got the rates above the 26% mark all of a sudden?

[Buffy]

They changed how quickly the colonization rate decays after 25%

[macross]

was a maint at 2am the other day that changed it.

Just hit 60K Balyd, curious if I should get the wildkeeper KI or the other one that is 40K.

Let us know how you get this 60k Wildkeeper KI.

[vagus]

Am I wrong to think there are 2 KI's. One that is 100K for the Naakuls (Wildkeeper) and anotehr that is 40K for something else.

[sade3437]

Anyone seen info on the shark yet? Foret is up to 31% on Fenrir, kinda tempted to try and rally some troops.

Yeah, 100k per Naakual entry temp KI (til update at the end of the month that lowers the cost based on your coalition rankings.)

Dunno anything that's 40k other than Inventor's tinitures, which afaik are still unusable.

[Malithar]

Has anyone kept tabs on the Scout NPC that reports on zones? On Bahamut, our's (I've yet to do a Naakual but flagged and have a KI) still isn't listing Naakuals in his reports. Furthermore, Ceizak now has Spoils lvl 1, while everything else in every other zone is lvl 0. The coloinization rate in Ceizak is 37% with 3/3 bivouacs.

[Dew]

According to the KIs you get after beating each one, there are seven Naakuals. Each crest says one of the seven ferocious creatures that protect the wilds of Ulbuka.

[Spira]

yeah the game's lore states there are 7 naakuals, but the dats suggest that only 6 will be fought through wildskeeper reives. the last one could be mission/story related.

kinda surprised that theres not much info on shark yet. its much easier to get to. all you need is water crafting

What you mean by name? Cause they do have an option for naakuls in the reports

[Prothescar]

Valefor hit 4/4 in Foret a bit ago, probably gonna make a push for the shark naakual tomorrow. Any reports on it yet? Has anyone tried it?

[Malithar]

Not sure what you mean by "what you mean by name." You're on Bahamut though yeah? Is the NPC giving you an option for Naakual's status when you speak to him? Cause he's not for me.

[Yugl]

Has anyone that's fought one of these been able to intimidate or use crest abilities against them?

[Alistaire]

Since when did the physical aspect of weapons affect their damage type, aside a very few exceptions? (Birdbanes and Vampiric Claws for H2H, for instance)
I guess Ukonvasara should be Blunt Damage then?
And Verethragna double piercing?

By what logic are you assuming that Tlaplolani would have been a damage type different from the standard blunt of 99,9% of H2H weapons? Not trying to offend you or to troll you, just checking if there is something I missed to justify some sort of logic supporting your statement. (not even the first time you say that, iir)

No logic, like I said "more like hoped". The only logic necessary to hope for something is "it's happened before, it could happen again", and then again, not even that's really necessary. There's nothing stopping SE to decide to do something they haven't done before.

[Modoru]

Draca Couse does Slashing damage, if I'm not mistaken

[Stan64]

Though Ulbuka is crawling with incalculable numbers of fearsome beasts, the seven most bloodthirsty hellions that reign over the wilds surrounding Adoulin are known as Naakuals.

From the official webpage...

An easy way to see if you're being productive enough in Reives, is at each evaluation:
If your exp and bayld are the same, you aren't.
If your exp is higher than your bayld, you are. Simple as that.
The more people that are on the roots, the harder it will be to deal enough damage, to keep up with the overall root progress.

Am I reading that wrong or? If you have the same exp and bayld you are doing enough. Even the rest of your post suggests that, but the first three lines seem to state that you don't do enough if bayld is even with your exp... Like you wrote in the rest of your post exp is what the evaluation was worth, and bayld how much you got out of it.

*joy* ....

If your Exp = Bayld, you did NOT do enough Damage Dealt / Taken / Healed. (Under performing)
If your Exp > Bayld, you dealt More Damage / Taken / Cured, than the progress of the roots, allowed you to achieve in Bayld. (Over performing, or more accurately, not enough root progress as a 'group')

The ideal situation, is where your Exp reward is 1-50 higher than your Bayld reward. This implies you're dealing just enough damage, to cover the maximum achievable Bayld for each evaluation.

Bayld is capped by the progress of the roots.
I've yet to see EXP cap, but I'm sure there's some type of hard cap of X exp (2k?) per evaluation period, or maybe a multiplier (10:1?) based on root progress.
Anyone ever run into a situation where the EXP reward was a simple number multiple times in a row, that would imply a cap? (Only when Exp > Bayld)
Perhaps easier than that, what's the highest EXP reward anyone has received from a single evaluation? (End of Reive excluded)
