The Celestial Nexus: Part 2

[Malithar]

Guild points were from the campaign, not vouchers.

"Omg you can get Guild Points from Copper Vouchers?!?! Quick let's search for this info on BGwiki!!!"

It wasn't a login campaign.
It was the Adventurer Apreciation Campaign or whatever the name was.
If you had an active license ongoing during a specific period, they would have take note of that and sent you a special "code" by email, which you could have then redeedmed for several in-game things, among which 50k IS, 50k GP, etc etc.

I wish it was the Login Campaign lololol

Of course getting said code seems to be a matter of luck if you aren't jp. Been over a month and alot of people not only hvaen't gotten them but haven't heard back from the reports they lodged

Eald'narche is a Dark Knight, judging by his Resist Paralyze trait.

He might have a second job, not sure.

Most of this thread is way off topic, but far anyone interested/gameplanning songs/rolls ect:

Difficult version:

Exoplates have terrible evasion, easy to cap with just sushi (maybe even without)

Eald' has a fair amount of evasion. It takes almost 1000 total acc + sushi (idk the number for) to cap.

[Byrthnoth]

I was capping hit rate against the Exoplates on D mode with Carnwenhan and a Tav Taco last night on BRD/NIN. They have almost no evasion.

(so yeah, you don't need Sushi)

[Darkmagi]

Exoplates have no evasion, orbitals/eald have substantial evasion.

[Multiabuse]

What would a good setup look like for a low-man (3 people)? I remember the level 75 fight being a decent challenge, especially if not /NIN but it's been a long time.

How do people keep hate off the healers since he takes no damage in p1? I don't suppose doing damage to orbitals counts toward enmity generation with him.

You're supposed to super tank Eald'narche (don't engage him) while destroying his exoplates and the adds.

[dasva]

Also there is this really old way of tanking that involves doings besides dmg that generate hate

yeah but that would imply you take something in like a tank *gasp*. BLASPHEMY in every melee PT!!!

Thanks. Knowing that will uncomplicate things greatly.

Sorry. I should have qualified my post by including something along the lines of "despite making use of all tools available to generate enmity on an invulnerable enemy, there were still problems with healers pulling hate" but I was trying to be concise and not waste anybodies time.

I find it's usually a bad idea to assume tanks really know how to get hate without dmg. So pld/run or blu/nin with good emnity sets?

Slightly off-topic, can I see some of your gearsets for TP/WS on BRD? Even with a PM if you don't want to dirty this thread.

[Karizo]

Quick question about phase 2. How hard is it to stun him? /dnc or dedicated sch or rdm to stun his -ja in phase 2 seems like a good idea, but does he start resisting very quickly? I guess my group took too long to kill him in phase 2 and -ja sort of overwhelmed us.

[doctorugh]

IDK about /dnc (if it makes a difference), but I didn't have problems stunning on DNC main, but with timers idk if I actually stunned enough for him to build resistance.
