Skirmish: Findings and Information

[Cambion]

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

. . .
He means for Wide Scan, not for ranged attack.

[tharon]

He didn't say we found mobs at the top of said vine, just there was one there.

But yes was very annoying, seeings how we had the H2H and dagger already before all mobs were even downed.

So looks like cirdas drops certain weapons, and rala another set?

[Arthars]

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?

i mean.... it doesnt take much knowledge to know these are ALL shopped....

poorly too

[Arthars]

So looks like cirdas drops certain weapons, and rala another set?

I went through all the posts and updated the findings on arcane glyptics.

If your group do Skirmish please check each arcane glyptic augment and note down which stone was used. The most important data is of course +2 stones, but everything helps out figuring out the system! Screenshots appreciated.

As I think rewards are completly random I don't think this helps, but someone was building a pool of data. =D

Attempted cirdas visage I + rala visage III last night using body + legs I.

Cirdas had a kill 50 mob requirement, as well as a +5 mob secondary goal. Mobs were incredibly squishy, and generally immune to BLUs dark based sleeps and a lot of their enfeebles like actinic burst. Being in cirdas caverns, the map was a little confusing and riddled with dead ends, so I would suggest bringing someone who is willing to scout. In our case, our BRD did it while we were clearing rooms. Got h2h + smn staff as well as a few NQ stones.

Rala had a kill 6 NMs requirement, +2 more for secondary. Mobs were noticeably stronger (not sure if it was because its rala and not cirdas, or simply because of the higher tiered head piece) and kinda forced us to split up at times to find the NMs amongst the normal mobs. While I do recommend RNG, it would help a lot more once the NM names are listed, otherwise you will be looking at a list of unfamiliar mobs. Gsword + gaxe dropped along with some NQ and +1 augment stones.

tl;dr- What I've learned from this is that the "best set up" seems to be a party of 6 that can split into two teams of healer + dd x2. For the lower tier heads (1-3) I could see a group of 3 having no issues as long as they're comfortable with the mission and know what to expect.

Anyone seen any polearms and augments yet? Could be sweet if its anything like gsword

[Kidnoftle]

Huh? I meant for widescan, not pulling. Then again I guess bst would be the better choice given standard buffs. W.e, either/or.

[Kidnoftle]

really? which drop dagger/h2h and GS?

Our run in Cirdas dropped both H2H and Dagger to the potential pool, but we didn't get final chest.

[Flippant]

So looks like cirdas drops certain weapons, and rala another set?

Certainly looks as such; going through the thread quickly, I think it's...

Cirdas: dagger, h2h, bow, SMN staff, scythe, gkt
Rala: gaxe, gsword, club, gun, katana, BLM/GEO/SCH staff

Not sure on polearm, axe, and sword.

Can you even widescan in there if you can't open up map?

[Flippant]

You can open map--I think someone mentioned actually getting a map is one of the Noetic Ascensions, and I assume this is temporary--and you can widescan (to clarify, even without having the map available).

[Slycer]

It's worth nothing that if you're widescanning without a map in either of these areas, some sections of the map are ridiculously winding in a "go south to end up north" kind of way. Probably moreso in Cirdas.

[dasva]

Ah I thought it was said you couldn't even open the map at all until you got it. Well then apradar that shit?

[NynJa]

I dont think its as simple of pasting circas coordinates with circas (U) coordinates.

Cirdas is one huge map, Cirdas (U) is 15 or so minimaps, but they all seem to connect like the regular area (think https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Instructo...1_(Sauromugue))

[ikariiiii]

Honestly trying wide scan last night didn't help in the case of NMs, but in Cirdas it will at least give you a general direction to head in, since there are so many paths. Both times we went we didn't get a map, but I'm assuming you can get one from having higher tiered leggings in your simulacrum.
