I would bet rl money that the values they gave are correct.

ig says the same so looks like it... oh well guess I got excited for nothing

If this works we are going to be friends.

Dan and I are officially friends. Holy fuck thank you.

Helix II wat... I thought they were afraid of Helix power when they didnt include them in the MB update. +12macc +10 ele skill +10MAB in gifts for nuke power.

Stuck on A Barrel of Laughs:

Spoiler: show

Mischief Marker, J-11 Western Adoulin Cutscene
Depository, J-11 Western Adoulin Cutscene
Watergarden Coliseum, M-6 Rala Waterways Cutscene and battle against an Elvaan, Hume and a Mithra mannequin. Assisted by two tarus, did my best to keep them alive. Battle ended when the mannequin went down.
Svenja's Manor, I-8 Western Adoulin Cutscene

And next... no idea. I've run around Sih gates /laughing at everything, both up top and through the teleport where Respite Cloak NM is found... not sure if this functions like the old Abyssea Rockhopper quest or if I need to harvest.

I mean, if you seriously thought they were giving WAR and BST +1000 TP bonus through gifts then I have some rl, totally real! senzu beans to sell you.

No I figured the fencers were real since there were several of them and they add with already fencer. Plus who actually single wields lol

I figured the last gift from bst and only tp bonus from gifts for pets could've easily have been 400

Uhhh, potentially WAR (and BST if they actually meleed at all)? Excluding skillchain properties, it's certainly their best option right now sans a mythic.

[Gokulo]

We better get Iroha as a trust in the end or I'll rage.

i am still surprised none of the SMNs have made endless amounts of topics about getting a phoenix avatar, given how much the bird is involved in the rhapsody storys.

[Sechs]

More about Siren maybe, since there already is a model for that.
No SMN has been asking for that because given how long it took them to give us Caith Sith and Atomos, no sane SMN would even dare to bother with that lol

Yeah but who actually DDs on war or bst....

think bst might still be better off dual wielding though if only to help the pet.

I'm stuck in the exact same spot.

Also, more info on the fight and redoing it:

Spoiler: show

Each enemy can 1hr (looks like at 50% HP or below), the Hume and Elvaan use Charm, the mannequin uses Chainspell. First time I went in, I fought the hume on BLU, it charmed me, and I *gasp* MURDERED TARUTARU SAUCE.

If you lose, you need to do the following steps to redo the fight:
1) Go to W.Adoulin Waterfront J-5, inspect the Sauce Barrel
2) You'll be asked to bring a food item (likely always something sold by an Adoulin vendor, given the text), I was asked for Sausage Roll (can be purchased from Defliaa I-11 Western Adoulin)

I went back on RUN in a resist set and just resisted the charm, killed Hume > Elvaan > mannequin. But if you can simply fight the mannequin only that's probably the better way!

The people actually going to the trouble to get the gifts....? Excluding BST of course, since obviously their playstyle doesn't typically involve that aspect of the job right now.

A Barrel of Laughs: Cracked it!

I got my KI: Guffawshroom by using a Trailblazing Sickle +1 at the Harvesting Point at I-10 in Sih Gates. Mule had the whole Adoulin HELM set on, main did not. Make sure to target it and /laugh at it, then harvest immediately after. Took two tries for main, only one for mule.
CS at Western Adoulin Hospital I-9
(long) CS at Mischief Marker again, reward of 1k exp and Management Rank finally hits 1 (yay?)
Talk to Peladi Shalmohr in Mummer's for your choice of earring... either:

Burana Earring
Maneuver effects +1
Automaton: Attack+15
Ranged Attack+15
"Magic Atk. Bonus"+10 "Regen"+2
PUP

Hija Earring
Pet: Attack+10 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+5
"Double Attack"+2%

Gelos Earring
MP+35 Avatar: "Blood Pact" damage +5
SMN

Anastasi Earring

Wyvern: HP+50
Physical damage taken -3% "Regen"+2
DRG

Looks like you can get another one for 10k Bayld too after some kind of wait? I'll give it a shot. EDIT: she mentions waiting to "exchange" your signet, probably need to /toss the old one.

Well then I suppose the obvious question to that is who is getting 1000 cp on war . I don't doubt it isn't powerful. I mean right now 1 hd sword war can get 810 tp bonus from fencer (unless some of the new gear has it not sure) so 1060 tp bonus with moonshade. So what effective 11.5 ftp ws at 1k tp... might even be fun with cloudsplitter with right support... but I just can't remember the last time I saw anyone on war for anything even cping

[Fwahm]

Someone who enjoys war, of course.

[dasva]

While I don't doubt that 1 player exists from a design perspective I could totally see SE going well almost nobody is even playing war or doing the 1hded dd thing let's buff it a bunch like we did Rudra's but lock it behind gifts so has to be worked for. And they probably wouldn't have a clue how powerful it was until there was a huge bandwagon

[Fwahm]

The Tarutaru Sauce battle is extremely annoying; the two tarus are really squishy, and the blue mage uses Unbridled Wisdom to stunlock your entire party with Thunderbolt spam.

[geno3302]

no sane SMN would even dare to bother with that lol

The bat signal has been raised! I'll get on this as soon as I get home!
