Skirmish: Findings and Information

[NynJa]

Cirdas Torso V. I omitted the opening PH mobs since they just fall over, except the Maroliths at the end. I'm pretty sure I got all the mobs, but the map and its walls are accurate for sure. The grey wall is either time based, or when you kill X mobs, I'm not entirely sure. What i listed about all avail mobs isnt accurate, but im too lazy to edit the image.


NPC takes your bayld even if your augment sucks. Thats not mentioned anywhere

[Sechs]

I can report an axe from Kingawesome, that lucky trap got

Faizzeer:
Damage +17, STR+5 (+1 stone!!!!)

Very lucky. +2 bonuses are a lie, +1 all the way!

[Byrthnoth]

I did a Rank V Cirdas set just now and we came upon 9 Noetic Ascensions.

[Streak]

Where's the entrance to the new Yorcia Skirmish?

Where's the entrance to the new Yorcia Skirmish?

It's not out yet

[Sechs]

what do you need to get the KI from Skirmish? Head T5, Body T5 or legs T5?

[Kaisha]

There's a KI? All I've ever received from a T5 set was the title.

[JSHidaka]

Tittle, Body 5

[Sechs]

So it's just a title, and you only need T5 body... I see.
Meh

This. My first +1 gave Kannakiri DMG 19 STR10 DEX1 and I have yet to get a +2 to come remotely close. +1s aren't getting near it either, to be fair. But +2 has gotten DMG14 STR5 as the highest (lots of single digits) and +1 has always been double digits for DMG and the closest was DMG18 DEX+7. It's only about 5-10 +2s and 20 +1s, so not exactly concrete. Never saw WSD.

From what I´ve seen, stones works this way.

from a 100% best augment.
NQ Stones have 0-50% range
+1 Stones 30-80%
+2 Stones 60%-100%

or something like that, thats why, +1 stones can give ¨better¨stats than +2 Stones, you get more +1´s coz are easier and cheap to get than +2.

So:

Lola in Eastern Adoulin now provides armor in exchange for lebondopt wings, which are found in Yorcia Weald skirmishes.

Oston in Eastern Adoulin now also provides the following item in exchange for obsidian fragments.
Cirdas Visage I (Probably meant to be Yorcia)

The Inventors' Coalition NPC Ornery Dhole now provides the following items in exchange for obsidian fragments:
Verdigris Stone / Verdigris Stone +1 / Verdigris Stone +2
Players may now exchange Ghastly or Verdigris Stones for obsidian fragments with Ornery Dhole.
Ghastly Stones may now be exchanged for Verdigris Stones with the NPC Ornery Dhole. (5 of one type to get 1 of the equivalent.)

And obviously: Items may be improved by trading them to Divainy-Gamainy at the Inventors’ Coalition and paying bayld while in possession of the “translurry” key item found in Yorcia Weald skirmishes.
Ninza / Leisilonu / Iztaasu / Crobaci / Faizzeer / Iclamar / Iizamal / Qatsunoci / Kannakiri / Shichishito / Aedold / Lehbrailg / Uffrat / Bocluamni / Hgafircian
(To +1 them)

The following equipment may be augmented by trading them together with verdigris stones found in Yorcia Weald skirmishes to Divainy-Gimainy and paying bayld.
Ninza +1 / Leisilonu +1 / Iztaasu +1 / Crobaci +1 / Faizzeer +1 / Iclamar +1 / Iizamal +1 / Qatsunoci+1/ Kannakiri +1 / Shichishto + 1 / Aedold +1 / Lehbrailg +1 / Uffrat +1 / Bocluamni +1 / Hgafircian + 1 / Cizin Helm / Otronif Mask / Iuitl Headgear / Gendewitha Caubeen / Hagondes Hat / Cizin Mufflers / Otronif Gloves / Iuitl Wristbands / Gendewitha Gages / Hagondes Cuffs / Cizin Breeches / Otronif Brais / Iuitl Tights / Gendewitha Spats / Hagondes Pants / Cizin Greaves / Otronif Boots / Iuitl Gaiters / Gendewitha Galoshes / Hagondes Sabots / Beatific Bulwark

[Slycer]

No, it was meant to be Cirdas most likely. He only ever sold Rala Visage I, for no apparent reason. I'm glad that the new Skirmish armor is good without augments - it'll make shooting for good augments more fun rather than a requirement to make the gear useful. Also, the trade-up thing from ghastly to verdigris is an unexpected little bonus also.

[Shenrien]

I hope this system has some sort of longevity, I'd rather there not be some sort of alternative to obtain equipment because then it'll just end up getting phased out as quickly as Delve gear for grinding most likely. :/ As much as I hate to say it, I wish we had another huge time sink in the game like Salvage at 75.

[NynJa]

Salvage's timesink wasnt a time sink, it was a "you get nothing, fuck you". There are better ways to introduce timesinks that dont involve 0.2% drop rates hinged on luck. Delve had the right idea

Okay, it must've been something they omitted from the patch notes last patch. I did some Skirmish runs yesterday and was able to buy a Cirdas Visage I for 2600 fragments.

Maybe that happened last patch and they added Yorcia this patch then? Makes more sense.

On a completely unrelated note (better late than never?), I put together finalized marked up maps for Cirdas II and V, probably just missing a couple noetic ascension locations.

V was based on Nynja's markup, II was based on one that was previously posted on the wiki. I cross-referenced the monster list (which conveniently is in order with the initially placed monsters immediately before the monsters they spawn) to come up with all the names, based the families in Nynja's post. Would just need a bit more information on certain monster locations for III and IV.

Thanks Slycer for the T5 map. I have no issues moving around in Rala T5 but for some reason I still get confused/lost in Cirdas.

Some random Skirmish questions now:
1) Is the "Obsidian fragments+" thing a static amount that you get or a thing that increases all of the fragments you're gonna get in that run from that point onwards?
2) Does body only affect the NUMBER of monsters or their level/difficulty too? In Cirdas I had the impression that on higher tiers mobs were doing more damage, but maybe it was just a wrong impression.

I'm still kinda annoyed by how random Visage's influence to stones quality is. Seeing people walk out with a +2 stone from a T1 Visage and you getting none after 2 T5 visage runs is really annoying >.>

[Slycer]

The obsidian fragments option is a static amount, it gives you the fragments immediately when you use it (like the Bayld option). The amount you get depends on the tier of legs. As far as the level/difficulty of monsters, I doubt it. It's possible (likely?) that harder monsters are placed in the areas that only appear on higher tier runs, but I'm pretty sure the ones that are shared in common across runs are the same in all runs they appear in.

[hazeldazel]

just started to do Skirmish with my friends and have a question about getting the walls to fall in Rala. Do all the mobs have to be dead or just the NM's?
