Escha - Ru'Aun thread

[DirtyWattz]

The JP Wiki lists 8 confirmed sources of Accuracy: Sandy Missions, Sandy [S] Quests, Something from Rhapsodies, Discerning individual and 4 Escha NMs.

I've done the discerning eye 5 times in the same location and still don't have 8/8, so either there's another catch or "Star Uta Mission" (Rhapsodies) doesn't actually offer something for every stat like it claims.

How do you know how many escha mob kills you have?

I searched my log files.

I don't think rhapsodies gives an acc vorseal. They used to list one for defense as well and it was removed.

[Sechs]

Did "A discerning Eye" 2 more times. Received "Discerning Individual" title and yes, unlocked a 7th tier of Acc/Eva vorseal.
Thanks guys!

Makes sense that there's probably only 7 confirmed sources then. I remember doing Discerning Eye a ton of times in the good ol days of Kazham parties.

Title : Kirin Dismantler
Our first attempts were horrible (bad placements, Seiryu destroying us, couldn't kill minigods fast enough, Kirin doing 15k Deadly Hold/spamming AF, Kouryu dropping a 15k Geotic Breath upon pop etc...) but we improved a lot, try after try.
We tried Flaming Crush zerg on Kouryu and lost at 13%, it's certainly possible to win this way but it require a perfect timing on Gambit/Rayke/Feint.
Then we tried Astral Conduit Wind Blade zerg with a SCH spamming SCs, Kouryu lasted less than 30 seconds (you can see Astral Conduit icone is still up on the second screenshot). Despite the gradual resistance system (which was a huge problem for us on Kirin/minigods), Wind Blade was doing 40~99k non-stop on MBs and 15~27k rest of time.

Damn those wind blades are crazy. Those nukes don't even come close.

Luck+: Try to kill yourself in I'm On A Boat Quest, RoV1 Missions, RoV2 Missions, Death Rabbit Current Total: 4

This current total is 5. Suzaku gives Luck+.

Going to assume all the "Reiki" drops from Kirin. What does that leave for AV? Just the earring?

[Suteru]

COR gun maybe?

Great job on the kill for it. We've gone the sch blm MB route, but hit our roadblock today with no actual run in there to gambit rayke. Best MB without it was 14k so definitely needs that rune love.Video of our 31% or so with no runefencer

[Tachi]

Speaking of Rayke, I wonder if in addition to remove the SDT it could also do something about the "gradual resistance" (you know, when all the MBs do crappy damage past the first one...). These Wind Blade results were totally unexpected and don't seem really normal, in a ordinary situation it should have been something like : 50k > 20k > 5k > 2k... (we got these numbers frequently on Kirin actually). Otherwise it could have been due to Bolster Languor (very unlikely imo) or a random !! proc...
Sadly, I'm only theorizing but hope more people will try RUN and eventually confirm if there is a difference with and without Rayke.

The progressive rage and AF spam is our core issue too. I mean, we've only really had 1 "real" shot at killing it where we got it to 30%, but somehow it used spike flail when no one seemed to be directly in the back(though really we should have positioned ourselves better in front instead of on the sides).

The rage seems to build as time goes on. It gets enspell, then the enspell builds over time. By the time we kill all 4 gods(killing them fairly fast, sometimes with enough time to do a volley on Kirin in between), Kirin is usually to the point where it's doing 2K+ holds to EA/scherzo'd PLDs, 700 unblocked melee hits and enspell in the 500-700 range. This is usually the point where shit hits the fan for us; either PLD getting faceraped or AF killing some core mages.

After some discussion, we're thinking that each white proc may weaken it for a short time, but then make it rage with repeated use.

[Hoshiku]

I think Tarumaruru said that Kirin only gains access to astral flow under 75%. It seems to be something along the lines of doing around 5% damage to kirin between each god pop to proc white and killing the one that's out before the next one spawns. That group also figured out that the order in which Kirin summons gods is not random, it's Genbu, Seiryu, Suzaku, Byakko, Genbu (the first thing to spawn is random). I think Tarumaruru's blog has a lot of helpful information but my Japanese is super rusty. Might be worth a look if you are familiar with all the kanji he used.

People suppose it drops the earring, Zendik Robe and the COR gun.
Not sure if there are other items that haven't been found out yet?

[Sechs]

Has there been any conclusive data about the scaling of the new Ru'aun NMs?
Warders do not scale for obvious reasons I assume, but what about the Sky Gods and Kirin? I've read someone claiming that Kirin doesn't scale, what about the sky gods?

[Skudo]

We've dealt almost 1.9M damage (combined) to Kirin + Kouryu. I think it was said to have 1.2M-ish with ~12?

750k HP per form so 1.5m HP total with 12.

[Sechs]

From what you guys are saying it seems to me Kirin does have scaling HP, just like very likely Shijin Gods have too.
