My 2nd set hates me so far, I still haven't got my darkhold drop after a couple of runs

And I'm now doing the Pharos portion of the quest again... hoping I have much better luck with Pharos this time around.

Dunno if I should feel bad for my friend or not, but the dude had been running dungeons for 6 days with no drops, just to find out he didn't know he had to accept the quests ahead of time to get the drops, he thought he could just go ahead and get them....

Ouch. I have a friend who is seriously at least 1/10 on every dungeon and in the 20s on a couple of them. He's been going hard since the update and is 12/16, doing everything I can to keep him from quitting.

Kinda sounding like my 2nd set atm, out of everything I ran so far, the only thing I went 1/1 on was Sastasha HM, everything else as taken at least 5 or more runs. I'm crying atm not getting my darkhold drop still... I hate that dungeon the most out of all.

Edit: wow, 1/2 Pharos for this set...

Would it matter in the one case of PLD offtank, as sword oath is 50 potency per attack regardless of delay?

**Niiro** · 2014-12-19 12:14

I don't see what difference that would make, a faster sword is going to have lower damage per swing, that holds true for the AA itself and the additional sword oath damage.

**Yukari** · 2014-12-19 13:04

It'll be lower potency for the normal hit, but the sword oath will always be at 50 potency, so a faster sword = more 50 potency hits? The weapon damage would be the same given the same ilvl, right?

**Raldo** · 2014-12-19 13:11

The 50 potency is probably modified by the 'auto-attack damage' rather than the 'physical damage', which would make the impact identical, regardless of delay.

...but I'm not where I can test that to say that's actually how it works.

**Yukari** · 2014-12-19 13:18

Can easily test this if you have HA blade and True Ice sword by just doing a minute parse on a training dummy in sword oath.

Yes, the next soul crushing grind is coming soon. But for now, the nightmare is over.

For the guys at the final stage, can any of you go to the calamity salvager npc and give me a list of prices for each stage of the relic?

You van Only buy the i80 version and have to manually re upgrade if you want to get a nexus for glamor

**RKI** · 2014-12-20 08:07

That would be some dedication

**Prothescar** · 2014-12-20 09:16

yeah it's dumb. have been hoping for them to add the other versions for purchase too. lots of wasted glows/models. particularly like gae bolg animus

IT'S SO GLOWY! Also, I think they said somewhere that they'd release the Animus weapons just as glamour weapons? I had a FCmate say something along those lines. I'd love it if they did.

**Arthars** · 2014-12-20 14:58

they will add replicas just for glamors. they mentioned before

the salvager NPC is just for you to buy if you somehow discarded it. but if you want to upgrade that for glamor before waiting the replica......your dedicated O_O

**Taint** · 2014-12-20 15:15

14/16! Sastasha 0/8 so far and SV left 0/0
