was as disturbing to me as it seems odd to you. i was under its tail, right between the 2 butt cheeks, so unless it instant turn on me then back and no one saw anything, i couldnt miss the SA positioning.
first ws i did for slightly above 300 dmg, i thoght i made a wrong move, that maybe i got one hit to land the forced crit.
i did a 10k TA rudra right after and once SA was up again, i really checked and made sure, rudra did slightly under 280 stacked with SA.
rolled back, that ws or the one before, no crit hit to kill the SA effect, no paralyze, SA did fire off and tp was expended.

I've had incredibly low-damage Rudra's like that, but never against something with SA. Is it possible that Rudra's has multiple damage components and the mob's partially resistant/immune?

[BerenTebogo]

For real though, I know there's only like ~2 groups per server farming them, but have we really still not seen the VW+1 bodies? Or any weapons besides the spear?

Technically you could have missed positioning in a manner of speaking which is why I was asking about bully or hide I suppose. This wouldn't be the first time SA didn't work from behind though the last time was a bug that was with all monsters but I wouldn't put it past them to introduce something similar as a mechanic.

Does anyone know the trick to killing Blazewing? It seems to have very high evasion even with me on GEO. The rangers could not hit it even with Indi-Precision and Geo-Torpor. Only when I used Bolster could they hit it. Magic damage doesn't do too much either like 100-500 dmg.

Most of the T3 have EVA this high. The trick is more ACC, distract, torpor, and more ACC.

[FaeQueenCory]

Was it ever said how to upgrade the old VW bodies to their newer forms?

No upgrades, they're just new drops. (Assumedly from T3s and/or the HELM NMs.)

Update

Nibiru Blade Rank 11

And Rawhide Vest gets Triple attack +2 @ Rank 14, so can save yourself $ unless you really want that +1 hp, +1 subtle blow lol

[BerenTebogo]

Well this was stressful as all fucking hell. 3 BST THF COR 2 GEO (1 GEO dead literally entire fight.) Haven't seen this body drop reported yet so here you go. No "sphere" aura so I think they can probably drop HQ too?

Nothing discussed as gimmicks worked except water damage does proc blue !!. As far as lowering the barrier...yeah...no. It was up the entire fight.

Edit: I am being told this body is not related to VW body so I guess fuck me.

[Tile]

I've seen that body drop twice already, I thought I mentioned it, but I atleast put it as a drop on the wiki page. it does count as the HQ body, because the old body was from Meebles burrow.

I may have glossed over. When I originally posted the SS I had assumed it was a VW style body so figured it hadn't been posted. Was corrected like 30s after I hit submit

My money is on the 4 pulse bodies coming from the HELM NMs. We've only seen 1 drop from each of the HELMs, so bodies might just be low rate 4 bodies 4 NMs. The other 2 Pulse weapons might come from the Behemoth and Yeti NMs.

That was the consensus we reached today as well, with similar experience on the drops from HELM. We haven't killed any in a day or three since the HELM NM drops largely suck (exception being Empath). Going to try to jump back in on a few HELM pops tomorrow and see what's what. I was joking with someone in the group that VW bodies may just drop at normal VW rate!

Hoping it's just a joke anyway...

Anyway, so your group hasn't seen any pulse weapons? I figure you have probably killed more times overall than we have due to the fights being probably much less of a pain in the ass for you (exception Bismarck) as we're still fleshing out strategies. That means the drop rate is loooooow. THF on all kills?

Someone in LS claims they got a +2 off Mosquito near Yztags. Not sure if this was already known and don't have a confirmation picture (although the person who claimed this isn't known for embellishing) but throwing it out there for now.

[Lyramion]

Could be possible. AH had some "early" +2s up when it was unlikely people did T2 NM yet. Unless someone seen a +2 drop from a T1 NM.

[sahearniitth]

Some other minor notes:
Artho can pop at the pool by Portal #5. Not sure if he can pop elsewhere.

Trading in all 3 HELM items without killing any NM's (or having any of the HELM pop KI"s) results in you getting Blazewing pop KI (or possibly a random KI since I didn't bother testing on multiple chars.).

Edit: Subsequent trades of all 3 items at same time resulted in Covens Dust > Pazuzu Blade Hilt. Could not get the Rabbit KI (presumably because I haven't killed a single HELM NM).

T1 can drop +2 but very rare, T2 is a bit morecomon and T3 drop at least one sometimes 2

upgraded Vanya hood to rank 15 B Path : healing magic skill +20, Cure spell casting time -7%, Magic dmg taken -3%.

basically that upgrade alone even uncapped is better than theopany cap for WHM, SCh and GEO can use it too. for me at least that means inventory space +3 gained

can you check the D path on vanya hood at the NPC (you can check it without switching)

i think we need A, C, and D for all of vanya still

[Lyramion]

Seeing what JP wiki says about drops that haven't been mentioned:

Urmahlullu: Chastisers
Blazewing: Kubira Meikogai

No guarantee on anything
