Can you just enter inner by walking there or you need some mission stuff?

Enter by walking.. You may need the Silvery Plate (Not sure since I already had it), which you can grab on the way there. The zone entrance is the lift on the east side of Outer Ra'Kaznar, on the bottom floor. (I-8, map 2) You'll have to bypass two Reives to get there.
On that note, the reives in Inner are soloable. What's terrifying are that Dvergr are wandering around, thinking they can be normal mobs.

[Lyramion]

Thx - got the plate. Just didn't want to look into the Mission Topic to avoid spoilers. (Im oldschool like that)


Jamal in Ru'lude Gardens he's in the Arch Duke's house (H-5) for Bundle of half-inscribed scrolls for new WOTG Trusts.

Threw 1 jp into mug to mess with 4-5 trys got me a whopping 20-30 hp drained,
it acts like the spell drain will damage target if ur HP is full.

[Karbuncle]

Iunno what ya coulda expected from mug, it says "Deals 5% of your DEX/AGI", the formula is all there

[Maurauc]

You can get the new 119 weapons from NQ Skirmish? Just told at 20% I'll get an Eudaemon blade.

[zephr]

Eudaemon blade is a simulacrum segment you can use to build pops for Alluvion skirmishes, not a weapon.

I'm keeping spoilers in spoiler tags.

Gather: Inner Court wants 3 Luminicloths

[FaeQueenCory]

Yet another lift that goes down, inside Inner Ra'Kaznar (Inner Inner Ra'Kaznar?)

Silly! That's where the 7th WKR will be. ;p

Or it's gonna be just the link to a mission boss area BCNM either now or later on...
But a new area would be really cool... Expect it to be Ra'Kaznar Keep or something.

[Funkworkz]

I really hope this time of the day trend for the updates is not the norm from now on. I have a feeling it is due to no more support for French/German versions of the game.

Updating this page in the next 15 min.

Upon completing a Skirmish, I was told I had a blade, a Philosopher's Stone, and a SMN staff.. Opened the chest, and I got a blade from the chest, and the Sash as a random drop. Might have gotten more, but my inventory was full. So be aware that there's extra drops they don't tell you about.

Five Eudaemon items by the way:
Blade, Cape, Ring, Sash, Shield.
Two runs, only seen Blade in the chest.

When you get an item, talk to Lola, then Oston, and he allows you to build Simulacra with four parts. The blade/sash/etc look like they're another tier set. So it could be blade is T1, Cape is T2, etc. Or something completely different. I've just built a 2/3/2/blade and a 1/1/1/sash. When I get a group together, I'll let you know what happens.

[Faelindae]

You can get them from the pool after skirmish as well.

[Anissa]

Weapons and 1 stone seem to be guaranteed drops from the floor bosses.

I used about 5 different stones, all of the "leaf" and "snow" variety. Only got 1 +1 stone, and no +2s. The augments seem to have several slots. In the top slot I got 1 fast cast, then 2 snapshot, then 1 haste. In the second slot I got 3 eva, then 3 acc, then 3 eva again, then a pet aug that I forgot to write down.

I couldn't make out any system for the augments, but here's what I got:

leaftip +1: 1 fastcast
snoworb: lost fastcast, got 2 snapshot
snoworb: kept snapshot, gained 3 eva
snowtip: lost eva, got 3 acc
snowslit: lost acc, got pet augment (discarded this augment)
leafslit: lost snapshot, kept acc, got haste +1

This was all on h2h. My friend got a staff, and these were her augments:

snowdim: 3 magic eva
snowslit: lost m.eva got atk+7

Got what seemed like a "special" floor using 5/5/5; this guy surrounded by a bunch of butterfly that don't aggro.

Used chainpspell and was casting things like comet, impact and death. Setting the Stage or Cruel Joke seemed to make it immune to physical damage, but formless strikes bypassed it.

Other than that, fairly straightforward. We were able to go up 5-6 floors. All but one followed the paradigm of kill 10-30 trash mobs to pop a NM that had 100% chance to drop a weapon. The one time it wasn't kill trash mobs for objective 1, it was simply click on 5 noetics. New title given is "Adumbration Dispenser"

[Ophannus]

I have all 3 trust permits from the main nations but i dont get a CS when I talk to Jamal...

Need to have all the original trusts from the 3 nations.

[Chimerawizard]

EDIT: deleted post.
well, damn. why was it when I clicked the link the first time to the updates page it took me to a nonexistant page.

[TummieGaruda]

Is it just me or do the new weapons have a slightly higher delay than what we are used to seeing? +130 delay on h2h seems a bit high but of course with that type of damage it's all about "balance"
