seems that you have to do LB quests for new jobs to progress to AF quests

[zandterman]

Don't see a borked thread so:

Check function broken in Battlemod, checking throws a cannot concatenate error in log.

[darkhorror]

read above...

That's what JP were complaining about when they were asking for more clarity in the help text and perhaps for stats to be buried in the item level. All those common stats like HP STR etc make it visually annoying to compare/differentiate.

Yeah without a spreadsheet or item comparison tool it looks aggravating to make sense of gear nowadays. Hiding all the extra stats wouldn't help as they are now, the base stats seem hugely random/variable between pieces.

7.5k Bayld for helping on GEO AF quest NM. Filiae Bell & Dowser's Wand for first quest.

Involves NM NE of Morimar Biv2, a malboro. Has Extremely Bad Breath accordin to the person who fought prior, but I didn't see it on my two kills. Need a couple DDs, and support for it, not something you'll be able to solo except on BST probably.

The quest water, water, everywhere. The locations of the ??? to test your water at are K-5 near the ergon locus. The middle of H-9 on the right side of the river there from there after going through the tunnel. The 3rd ??? is at H-9, the left side of the river. Rewards 2k xp and 1k bayld.

DEF:45 HP+15 MP+26
Shield skill+72
Increases shield block rate
Magic Damage Taken -25%

Where does this stack up compared to Aegis/Ochain?

someone said the pic looks like a size 2 shield. So odds are it will not be all that good outside rdm bst for mdt sets.

skill up shield maybe? or a macro item for plds such as myself who only have a ochain(and no d-ring). Would let us stack a bunch more MDB gear.

BG wiki now has this as a size one shield. which barring weird exceptions, mean its block dmg- is gonna suck. It'll be better than most size one, due to the high def. But this probably won't be able to touch Ochain even if it has 100% block rate.

Note that I can't give a good estimate of it's block dmg- beyond, "low", because the I've yet to successfully test size one shields. The blocked hit's dmg and unblocked hits overlapped on everyone I've ever tested. Making separating them in the parse impossible.

Skill up, shield mastery TP gain, and Spell interruption should all be viable uses for this shield. Particularly for non PLD jobs. I'm can't say where it'll sit in the PLD shield hierarchy till it's tested. But I can't see a size one shield having enough block dmg- to get anywhere near Ochain.

Can my personal coalition rank go beyond Advisor?

[dasva]

not something you'll be able to solo except on BST probably.

Given how much other pets have gotten lately almost betting pup and smn could solo easier lol. Friggin 8k bps and shit

Afk bayld'ing might be dead. Logged in to a colonozation reive going, it ended ~45seconds later, no bayld gained. D:

[NynJa]

Or you were werent even there long enough for an eval and therefor got nothing?

I'll wait for someone to say "I afked though an entire reive and got nothing"

Well if you show up too close to the end you will get less or even nothing

[Taint]

[Eileena]

I was chatting with some people about the gear changes through an entire reive in Ceizak and received nothing.

[Ophannus]
