Skirmish: Findings and Information

[Shenrien]

did Cirdas lastnight, all I pieces, GKT and h2h dropped.



Here's the augment I got on h2h w/ +1 stone.

[mdkuser]

Has it been discussed that 1/2 the weapons drop from Cirdas, and the other half drop from Rala?

We've been on several cirdas runs and have gotten:
H2H x1
GKT x3
Bow x3
Scyth x4
Dagger x4
SMN Staff x2
Sword x1

And from Rala we got:
Katana x1
BLM Staff x1

Reported earlier in the thread:
Rala -
Great Sword
Great Axe
BLM Staff

Cirdas -
H2H
SMN Staff
Scyth

the info was given earlier in the thread. Rala also drop club (and a good one).

52 DMG on ninzas is = to spharai lol. Need 65 DMG to beat tlopoloani, and it can go up to DMG71...

[Toioiz]

I was looking for the full list, but didn't find it anywhere. Is there something on the wiki that shows the split?

[Arthars]

today was my worst day since adoulin release.... been cleaving for 12 hrs straight across zones with minimal people(almost impossible to get 0 people in a zone since everyone starting to farm parts...) and i havent seen a skirmish part ; ; ;

to add salt to wound, 2 people i know who are farming parts SOLOING got the pyres with parts AND FAILED to open them.......

havent been this bad since adoulin release.... i been on a bad luck since i return to SG from japan!!!

JAPAN IP ROCKS SO MUCH?!

Did Skirmish with Cirdas Visage/Torso/Legs (all II). Got Dagger and Bow for Objective 1, Katana for Objective 2. No one got any Ghastly Stones +2. We found 3 Noetic Ascensions with Map, Bayld, Fragments, Attack, and three more options that I've forgotten.

I did Cirdas Visage I/Torso I /Legs I yesterday. I've gotten stone +2, alt got stone +0, another person got +2, another +1 and another no stone. H2H and Bow in box.

[mdkuser]

so you can get a stone +2 with visage I? hmm.. zero on 6 char in 4 runs.

[Byrthnoth]

Hmm.. when we did our run, we had 6 people and finished the zone in 25 minutes (spent some time running around being lost.) Perhaps it's time or #people based?

what are the objectives with body II? body I is 50 mobs +5 for 2nd objective.

[Byrthnoth]

Err.... I think it was 60 and +6.

Edit: Yeah, it was 60 for the first goal and 66 for the second. Probably always +10%. Makes me wonder if Body V is 90 and 99 kills.

[Foldypaws]

Body IV was 80 and +8, so it would surprise me greatly if V wasn't 90 and 9.

[mdkuser]

time limit scales too?

[Byrthnoth]

We had 40 minutes with Body II.

[mdkuser]

so it's probably Torso I=30mn, Torso II=40, ... torso V=60mn. Respectively 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 weapons. How many items were there in your personal chests? Body I gave 3 items (that can be scrolls craft mats ghasty stones).

[Zirael]

so you can get a stone +2 with visage I? hmm.. zero on 6 char in 4 runs.

I can personally confirm that, as I have the stone+2 on myself, and another person said he got +2 too. Wasn't anything special about our run. Did it @4 real people + alt (SCH RDM PLD DRK SAM) in ~28min goal 1+2. Our first and only run so far.

[Toioiz]

We've only done Visage I, and have gotten about 3 +2 stones over ~10 runs. 2 of which were from the same run.
Body IV gives 60 minutes, body II gives 40 minutes.

Finished the Body IV with 30+ minutes remaining, and no +2 stones on it.

[Arthars]

no luck cleaving but went 1/1 mining in moh gates.....i searched area and NO ONE was mining for past 2 hrs so i used my pick axe on a minining point while pulling

i was in a party so there is no immediate "Arthars obtains a faithful leggings II", instead it went to the loot pool w/o any message after each mining......

watch out for your inventory space guys.... since you will have absolute no idea when it drops from HELM in a pt....

Edit: NVM LUCK IS BACK :D

at least this maybe shows that HELM parts and pyre parts "quota" doesnt conflict

[Damane]

how can someone be so lucky, I have cleaved for hours, I have HELMed for hours I have reives for hours and done so many assignments and have still no skirmish entrance piece

[Arthars]

i wasnt lucky at all in first 3 days of drk soloing.... not even seen a part until i started lvling PLD just for cleaving and used the "first green pyre and gtfo and go next zone" theory

since then i getting 1-3 parts a day, and today i got lazy and just cleave in one zone.... 14 hrs before i finally see this vasage >.>

as for HELM, i done over 15 stacks of pickaxes with full mining gear, including pioneer pants.... and i been stalking zone for 3 hrs to see if anyone else cleaving and noticed that NO ONE entered zone..... so figured MAYBE mining point should prolly "resetted" as well and just bring out my axe and pick the point nearest to me....

totally didnt expect that mining point to deliver but i guess HELM points are same as pyre in every zone, where there is a cd someone can get

but then again... nynja got back to back parts from a pyre in very quick succession so..............

PS. i still havent get 1 from assignment and reive

Cleaved for 3 hours last night, got nada too. Was no one in zone mostly. Bet some random aggro got it. Was first time trying in the past few days oh well. Prob should stick to getting bayld and doing naakuls instead.

Haven't gotten from helm but have from the other methods though. And I've used many many stcks of picks too lol.

Update for today, we did 2x rala run tonight:

Run 1- Pld-Brd-Whm-Thf-War-Blu
Rala Head I, Body I, Legs I-
Staff x1 (lost staff x1 and axe)
Timed out on 7/8 NM's, spent more than 10 mins looking for last NM, because of it we lost 2nd pool which had the other staff and axe in it.

Run 2- Pld-Brd-Whm-Thf-War-Sam
Rala head II, Body II, Legs III
Katana x1, Axe x1, Club x1
Cleared both objectives very very easily but again spent at least 8 mins to find the last NM. Maps are so huge.

We got a bunch of stones in the 2 runs, at least 8-10 nq and 8-10 +1's, 0 +2

I havent gotten a single +1 or +2 personally on any of the runs so i only had 2 nq stones to throw at my Katana. Got dmg +3 and Str +7.
