Skirmish: Findings and Information

[Damane]

Yeah I took a break for a bit, logged back on, First Pyre Bayld, second Pyre green text....Mokko Grass... so I am guessing that if my earlier thought was correct, it's going to keep loading junk until the pool refreshes. It makes sense if the skirmish pieces are first to load when it comes to items and then junk every time after that. The system needs to be changed though.

The system is total garbage if its like this, and totally luck based. They should increase pyre drop rate and add more skirmish pieces into the treasure pool + make them buyable with bayld ----> problem fixed.

I see a lot of people trying to find a pattern for statues, but tbh it just looks like a lot of self-convincing through fortuitous happenings. This is 100% random imo. And it is definitely not acceptable..

So we tried skirmish. 1H30 of farming in Cirdas caverns, meripo-style, yielded 3 parts. We got greatsword (cobaci DMG 141+11 str+6) and club (DMG86+2 STR+7 dex +5) for my whm mule lol, comparable to empy dmg...

[sade3437]

I hope it does, I can't help but notice though it doesn't seem like you actually get the item from HELMing but rather as a random bonus after you're successful.

Which stone did you use for the club? I'm hoping +1/+2 might actually give mnd and cure pot/-cure cast or something white magey, since at least the staves SE didn't fuck up on and are great/nice depending on the job.

about those new KIs for HELM. Picked up the mining one, went out to the basalt fields to try it out. Got a message about how it took effect and I found "high quality materials" and what did i get... marble nugget. Got it a second time and got an igneous rock.. So hopefully that isn't a sign that the KIs are a complete joke..

Just did Cirda Cavern with head/legs/body I, got bow X2, goal was kill 50mob then 5 extra.

im a spoilt brat, and did the "first green" theory this weekend too....

this weekend, massive people in rala of course, and i didnt get anything UNTIL its ding ding conquest time, where everyone go check out coalitions, so i entered rala, cleave for my first "green text" pyre and got faithful body II

/logout after, i personally now self convinced that first green should usually be a trigger part if no one in zone farming... dont wanna waste my time really hoping for back to backs

[orinthia]

Saw these upped somewhere, cannot vouch for truthfulness but how good would augs like these be? Also, I can't read jp; what's being written after the str+15 on the gswords?

[Seeum]

Rala head III, body II and legs I:

Cost 600 gil for KI.
Objective1 was kill 7 NMs, 3 more for Objective2.
Were 2 Noetic Ascensions, 100 obsidian fragments, 5k bayld.
Got 3 weaps from first objective: gun, great sword, and katana. I believe 4 slots in personal loot box, no +2 stones reported.

[dasva]

230dmg scythe... as good as these things are that feels like a shop.

Those are obvious fakes. First one says "Romance Again" and second one says "Panties Away".

[Slycer]

Just throwing some results on here for compiling into data pools later on.

All +1 stones, augments listed below:
Dagger: DMG+6 STR+3 DEX+3
Sword: DMG+9 DEX+7
H2H: DMG+29 STR+6 DEX+1

Cirdas using Cirdas Head III, Faithful Body/Legs I

Objectives were kill 50, then kill 5 more (was kinda stupid because the last group of mobs was like 9 mobs so the last five mobs were right there after we killed 50). All monsters were found as 2 of one type, which then spawned like 8 of other types either upon aggro or defeating one or both. Two worms, two spores, two funguars, etc., spawned various other Cirdas-type monsters including acuex, more funguars, umbrils, leeches, etc.

30 minutes, two ascensions (one gave 100 fragments). I personally got 176 fragments total (76 additional from monsters).

When we had 10 minutes left, there was a message that said something about you feel a trembling or whatever, and I saw a wall explode, opening a new tunnel. Problem is it coincided almost exactly with us clearing some monsters, so I'm not sure if it was timed or if it was because we cleared the monsters. In any case, the last group of monsters was behind that wall.

Loot pool of weapons was from primary objectives, secondary added an additional crate drop. Scroll for everyone was picked out first, then Iztaasu for pool, then stone or craft item for everyone, then Ninzas for pool, and finally another stone or craft for everyone added for secondary objective.

Loot pool was:
Iztaasu, Ninzas

Personal pools were:
Blizzara II / Ghastly +1 / Ghastly +1
Stonera II / Rhodium Ingot / Midrium Ingot
Indi-Frailty / Urunday Log / Philosopher's Stone
Stonera II / Ghastly +1 / Urunday Log
Blizzara II / Rhodium Ingot / Ghastly +1
Watera II / Ghastly +1 / Urunday Log

it was a rala simulacrum KI, 6 NMs to kill +2 extra. ralasvisage I/faithful torso I/ faisthul leg 1. and I used a +1 stone.

[Suljin]

Hmmm here's hoping any semblance of whm stats are holding out on a +2 stone

[dasva]

Has the npc that lets you buy stuff with fragments work/appeared yet anywhere?

[Chamaan]

Zoned into Moh Gates, got Rala Visage I on first pick. Friend got the same (first pick) in Cirdas.

[Kidnoftle]

Just timed out on a Cirdas Head III/ Torso II / Feet I, 40min to search a zone basically. Got to 56/60 and couldn't get to last 4 apparently (there was a vine leading upwards in zone, not sure what that meant). Pretty fucking annoying, I'd recommend a rng for the cirdas skirms.

[noodles355]

not one of you had anything at all to pull with? no besieged chakram or anything in satchel?
