The Alluvion Skirmish thread!

Where do I sign for that?!? But the Airlixir system offered only 3 paths. This system offers way more combinations.
Just saying eh, not playing devil's advocate here.

This system is good having everything the way airlixir work is boring.

[Hitou]

Other problem with airlixers is you can just throw gil at it and be done. No reason to do the event again if you already got the weapon you want. Skirmish would have been better if the augments weren't random and you had to upgrade it with obsidian fragments directly, that you got a decent amount from each run, and there was no way to get fragments outside of skirmish.

As opposed to throwing money at random augment stones...?

Personally I think the monstrosity augment system is probably the best augment system out there... which makes it even more disheartening that they put it in an event people don't do much anyways, where the only way to get points is thru pvp people do even less and is completely lopsided for super crappy equipment.

[Lyramion]

So anyone actually know the Stonetype you need for Song+ ?


nvm: Snowdim+2 was posted on FFXIAH

If you hate RNG, FFXI is clearly not the mmo for you, rng is the only way they virtually made event last longer.

Am I the only BRD here that DOESN'T want OQS at all???

When using NITRO songs cast practically instantly anyway, and when not, the last thing I want is to cast while still wearing my -cast time gear instead of potency...

I don't use OQS. Even with GearSwap your gear will occasionally not swap correctly in laggy conditions. I would get the same problem when I would use my normal precast FC under N/T, until I removed precast FC under N/T. So, you occasionally end up with one song wearing early. Not sure if that was ever addressed, but it was happening to me a couple months ago and decided to opt out of OQS and using FC under N/T. I would also imagine OQS would have a similar effect on any other spell when using precast+midcast functions in laggy areas.

Regarding unlimited runs and the joker boss; did 5/5/5/sword in Cirdas, got boss on floor 4-5 and unlimited floors (ok). did 5/5/5/sword Rala and did not get the joker boss and the run ended I think after 6 floors.

How is this different from tossing gil into stones? The only difference is you can get lucky and have to use 3 stones, or you can get fucked with a horsecock dildo and spend millions upon millions of gil and never get the desired result.

If you have issues, the problem is your code, not gearswap.

yea, that's not the problem. pretty hard to mess up simple precast and midcast functions. i just said they work fine when there is no lag, and it never messes up when there is lag and im not casting near instantly (and even with lag and near instant casting, it does not always happen, it is just inconsistent and i dont prefer the inconsistency) the issue is lag while casting almost instantly. this happens with anything. it happens to other brds in my shell using the popular GS templates from kinematics, or others.

we just got joker spawn on a 111 cirdas ring, went up a floor, got short cutscene with a pink butterfly and the whole zone was filled with none agroing / none linking butterflies, and joker was just sat there waiting. first time we've seen joker after like 20 111's. Was fun, didnt get kill though, ran out of time.

Yeah it's true you can just throw gil at stones too but like you said you may never get the results you want which creates the stupid artificial longevity people are complaining about. If stones were like airlixers people would be done with the event in a week and people could complain about that like delve II. And anyone that didn't do the event in said week would probably be SoL looking for people to do the event with. I donno the augment system is stupid for skirmish and even worse with 4x as many stones now. But I donno if an airlixer style augment system would have been better. Unless you couldn't buy them with gil.

i dont mind the rng, but the inventory clusterfuck us huge. even with the npc system they could have kept it random.

[Malithar]

I'm not sure if this works for all sources of doom or not, but at least with Indi-Vex (-MAcc) with an Idris, Balamar's doom attack changes to a 30 count doom rather than a 10 count. Not sure if there's more resist steps to it or not, might be useful in some content. When I get a chance I'll try stacking +MEva and -MAcc and see what the results are.

[Lyramion]

No way complete but translating what JP wiki has so far (http://wiki.ffo.jp/html/30951.html#hhfm1ign6f). Some of it should be "off stone Augments" mixed in.


Snowslit: ATK, ACC, DEF, EVA, RATK, BDT
Leafslit: DoubleAttack, WaltzPotency, Store TP, Rapid Shot, PDT, BDT

Snowtip: RAAC, RATK, DEF, MEVA
Leaftip: Store TP, FastCast, SubtleBlow, Snapshot, SongSpellcastTime

Snowdim: MAB, MACC, MEVA, EVA, BDT
Leafdim: Doubleattack, ElementalSiphon, FastCast, SubtleBlow, CureSpellcastTime, PDT, MDT

Snoworb: PetDEF, PetATK/Ratk, PetEVA
Leaforb: PetCrit

Hey now doing 2 week if delve II for ghorn isn't hard work anymore! I hope they release equivalent to weapon, so they can start adding challenging content.

Not having appropriate gear is never the reason why SE wouldn't release challenging content.

Why didn't SE release challenging content since VD dm then ?

[fantasticdan]

Because probably less than 1% of an already miniscule userbase would bother with it.

[finalwolf]

Add weapon skill damage + to Snowtip +2. got +2% wsd so far

::edit:: Sharur

[Sechs]

Add Pet Meva, Pet: Mab and pet Macc to SnowOrb.
Pet: Avatar Perp-, pet: Pdt, pet: haste and Pet: regen to Leaforb.
