Skirmish 2: Event details

It certainly lowers the amount of mobs. Also saw/killed heartwing. Didn't notice any difference, but I did see 3 mobs pop near it, so maybe it functions like one of the nests.

Pug went in with torso 4 Almost made it to the end but had to fenestral key under 10mins cause mobs were crazy. Seemed doable with better DDs but I think we had 2x THF.

**Karbuncle** · 2013-08-19 22:03

Did a 4/5/3 Run (4 Head, 5 Body, 3 Legs)... Was rather boring. Towards the end you'd get Waves of 5 Mobs from one side and 2 Mobs from another, but Shock Squall > Fell Cleave they're dead before they unstun. Our WHM was having connection issues and not a single WAR died lol.

went with WARx2, SAM(NEst hunter), Me SMN, WHM, and BRD(x4 song). With this kind of set up, Yah... sh*ts easy to the point it'll put you to sleep ;;

**Freazer** · 2013-08-19 22:03

any idea where to trade the Ghastly stones for the Vstones?

**Vriska** · 2013-08-19 22:13

Saw a heartwing in a 1-3-1, killing it didn't seem to do anything, I ran around like mad looking afterwards

Did you get a title?

**shepardG** · 2013-08-19 22:22

anyone know how many wings it takes to get a body from the NPC?

3.

1 for Hands/Feet.
2 for Head/legs.
3 for body.

So there are a ton of typos in this event. Normally I wouldn't care, but it's kind of ridiculous. They definitely rushed this shit out.

**FNH** · 2013-08-19 22:43

easy, boring and rewarding.....bizarro ffxi

**Toth** · 2013-08-19 22:47

Did it twice with LS mates, I as PUP, along with a MNK COR SAM WHM BRD. I went around and killed the 5 nests with Serenade, they defended the base. Super easy. Mobs do not aggro at all.

**shepardG** · 2013-08-19 22:52

it's sort of insulting ... like... i want engaging content with good rewards ... not stupid difficult content with shit rewards. like... they missed the mark the opposite way i guess lol but i guess it's not super bad for a casual type thing

avoid some mobs to spawn, like the eyes, the ladybugs, morbols ...

Did a 3/3/3 run, the last 5 minutes is absolute chaos and idk how you are suppose to handle it. Had something like 20-25 mobs at the camp and they were just steam rolling in almost never ending. This was during second objective not during first.

Kinda funny because up till now was looking forward to new weapons especially offhand and between the nerfing some and the whole non rare tag thing on delve don't care much anymore unless they have epic augments... but the armor is just plain sexy

**Helel** · 2013-08-19 23:06

Not that it really matters, but I think the mobs take increased damage from certain damage types. Heavy strike does 2kish to treants for instance. Whirl of rage does over 2k to marbols. Could be wrong.

Edit: Just did 2.9k heavy strike to treants. Definitely weak to blunt. Morbols definitely weak to slashing.

Yah, I noticed Funguar take bonus damage from Magic (2x), and I know another mob someone punched mentioned they're weak to h2h... IDR the mob, But like Old Skirmish, mobs do definitely take bonus (2x) damage from certain types, not that its necessary here lol

Did you kill the dens first? Both times I did, the mobs were never crazy at the end. We got like 3-4 mobs tops at once and they went down fast.

thats wat we have been doing, seems that at first they come quickly and possibly slow down as the dens are killed, no idea if there is any truth to this tho
