Skirmish 2: Event details

[Kohan]

Get lost? Just the first week when it released... Need higher tiers of feet? Do you actually get map off the noetic? Lol with zone "changes" they are useless.... And is not that "boring" coz 1. You are killing things or 2. Running to find things to kill... In yorcia's you are(after killing dens) 1. Standing up there waiting to the mobs.

So define what's boring.... Repeating the same thing over and over for some reward? Welcome to a MMO....

Hey, did you happen to notice how Hitou shared their opinion and then explained it, but didn't use said explanation to attack anyone? I'm sure he knows exactly what an MMO is, and was not in fact wowed and surprised by this fantastic new invention called "Final Fantasy XI" the last time he logged in. That, and he likely doesn't care that you have a problem with his thinking that the event is boring, since that won't change anything for him.

It's fantastic that you think Skirmish is a thrill a minute. Truthfully, I found it fun too. No one cares to hear you criticizing a substantiated opinion due to a desire to air out your personal butthurt, though.

What's the best way to increase chance of +2 stones? Just a higher tier visage, or does a higher torso give you more chances?

Visage V is at like 2m on the AH, doesn't seem very cost effective but I haven't done anything other than 1-1-1.

Visage V and Torso V. It can become cost-effective given you split the cost among members and get lucky that you'll at least get x1 +2~

Given how stupidly random this event is, there's no real answer.

This so much. Early on when the event came out, I had hoarded high tier pieces and ran with an LS static. Funded 4x V V V runs myself like that. The first one was amazing, everyone got 2-5 +2s, no idea/recollection if we got any coffer upgrades. The next 3? One of them no one got any +2s, on another everyone got one +2, and on the other 5 people got a +2 and the other guy didn't get any.

Pretty much, if you get coffer upgrades, being in a V V V run will pay off massively. If you don't get them, good luck. Even gettin upgrades in a III III III can be nice, personally gotten 3 +2s outta one III III III.

Got a random coffer upgrade today on a 1-1-1 run. Had seen them before but this time it was two stars. I think we got it at the 80% mark for objective 1. Everyone got a +2 stone in the pt or at least most of us did. I know people have gotten +2s before from 1-1-1 but what tier coffer was it? Usually when I see one star upgrades it's still the same crappy items, guessing upgrades just slightly up your chance of better items and the rate varies based on number of stars. Anyone know what the highest upgrade is in number of stars?

Also, doesn't really belong in this forum but I've seen a one star upgrade randomly in Cirdas skirmish before. This is probably already known but I don't remember seeing anything about coffer upgrades before yorcia skirmish came out.
