Colonization Thread

[Gwynplaine]

Well what I mean is this. Like in G-10 in that open area with a bunch of mobs I've picked it up and then it immediately moved only maybe a few "feet" away nearby, which was pretty great because I could go turn it in and come right back to get it again. So while there might be a small handful of specific spots, from afar on the entire map that spot is so small that to mark them all would be indistinguishable from just placing one big dot to blob that area.

Is there a way to know the naakul is being fought without being in there or word from people in?

Could technically wide scan and see if it has been moved away from the adds, suggesting that someone is fighting it. Not sure though, as I haven't tried it myself.

So of the jobs NIN, MNK, BST, BLU..so far BLU earns me the most bayld. Spam Dream Flower, and focus down single mobs and you get from 70-200 bayld popping up, and at a decent rate. One Colonization reive usually nets me about 2k or so before imps.

I was able to use Tincture in Wildskeeper Reive. My quick inspection pointed to a 33% Attack Boost for 60 seconds. Pisspoor.

I was hoping they would make them something like temporary items that you got back during the fights.

[Prothescar]

Haven't gotten it back or anything, really seems like a 1 time use. Wouldn't recommend buying them.

[Gwynplaine]

That's... awful. Is there really not anything else more to these things lol

[Jeryhn]

I didn't see any of this info on the wiki so I apologize if its already been mentioned in the thread, but here's some things of note for the Delivery assignments from the Courier's Coalition at Contributor rank.

- In addition to being unable to use Waypoints, casting the Warp spell will also cause you to lose the supply container.
- That being said, casting Escape does NOT cause you to lose the container. I was able to grab the container from the NPC at the Frontier Station in both Foret and Morimar, run to the nearby Gates zone, and Escape from there into Ceizak/Yahse.
- If you lose a container and get another one from the NPC at the Frontier Station, there is no notable EXP or Bayld loss (2000 for one imprimatur).
- No idea if dying and homepointing or using an item like a Treat Staff (II) will also cause you to lose the container, didn't test this.

\o/ yay

Started fight with 16 and honestly would have been able to finish it easily with that amount if some didn't start trickling in as the fight progressed. Most of them were just fighting adds and not even touching the NM anyway...

For the record, don't make the same mistake I did and go as black mage man. You never go full black mage. I showed up at like ~60% and got ~900 bayld at the end.

I'm almost convinced that coalition % has little to no influence to the amount of damage the naakual's take, the damage on the T-rex was comparable to that of the damage on the Bee that I went and killed last week, the only difference is that accuracy was no problem. I was able to tank just fine as SAM when the two PLDs got knocked down from weakness, followed up by its AoE terror, only happened once and overall the fight was kind of a push over.

Square already said forthrightly it's related to colonization.

Yeah that's totally worth 40k baldy. Shit I think even back when it came out and was 2mil brew was even more worthwhile lol.

Oh anyways is there a rank above contributor? And any reason to keep spamming a guild after that? And which one guys the best baldy that isn't too annoying to do like say going out and doing a reive or something. Like right now I'm getting 1250 a tag just trading cheap stuff with scouts or I could get 4800 with 3 but have to go thru reive

[Prothescar]

2500/1 tag 6000/3 tags from rank 3 courier tasks

[dasva]

2500/1 tag 6000/3 tags from rank 3 courier tasks

That's running all the way to foret isn't it? I think I'd pass lol could do a reive in the meantime

[Gwynplaine]

All of the Adoulin quests currently in game are now sortable and viewable in a handy listing:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Adoulin_Quests

Some of the quests still have questionable fame triggers to flag them but mostly pretty covered.

it isnt bad

you can pick up patrol quest in between and lair in between so u can turn in 3 in a run

3 chance for skirmish trigger too

and 9 tags burnt if u been lazy in 1 run, sounds good to me (too bad my COU rank is 1 ;

[dasva]

Yeah I'm not saying it's horrible I'm just saying I can stand in front of an npc and just talk/trade really cheap stuff for 1250/tag so was wondering if there was something really time efficient that was more.

[EjinCaitsith]

Our last Achuka kill was with 37% col. rate. Today's kill was with 43% col. rate, but today my damage on WAR more than doubled, going from 560 to 1320 average Upheaval. Ended up killing it in 36 minutes with 18 people.

My guess is the -DT isn't based off the exact col. rate at the time you fight it, but unlocked in varying increments. I'd guess what we've seen so far is -90% DT for most of the time so far since damaging the Naakual has been possible and somehow Ragnarok unlocked an additional increment today(could be jut passing a certain % threshold) that allows further damage.

Oh, and it's possible to get no exclusive drop if you already have said drop. It will not reload something else, you'll just get nothing.
