Corsair AF quests

Also, seems like the Hat gives a little over 25% bonus to Quick Draw. Quick Draw was capped at 192 when unresisted (Macthclock + Iron Bullets), and I was hitting for 230 now. Very nice enhancement.

Meh, who cares about quick draw damage Does it enhance the actual debuff enhance effect? otherwise, an extra 40 damage every 3 minutes is negligable in an overall sense, and most HNM's atleast partially resist the damage element from most quick draws most of the time. If it doesnt enhance the debuff effect, I will be dissapointed.

I care about Quick Draw damage! I've hit over 200 damage consistently on Tiamat and other HNM's so being able to add even more damage to what is essentially already free damage is absolutely amazing to me. Also, to my knowledge, no one has gone to ballista to test if it makes the debuffs even better so there's still more to come from it... possibly.

Just a few fyi's for people who lose the af3 bc:

-There is no 3 minute timer to boot you out. You have to use the fireflies item like you do in assault if you want to escape.

-If you decide to do that, you lose your key item and must get another if you want to attempt the af3 bc again.


It didn't seem overly difficult, but we went in with only 4 people, 1 of which that could damage. We decided to wipe and try again but couldn't.

edit: also, it seems like you have to wait until jp 0:00 before you can get the key item again. =_= fuck you square enix, bunch of faggots.

Solo ENM... Too weak. Mob only hits for about 20-30 with his dagger AND with his gun (he mixes it up). Same as before, the goblin dice can restore either of our HP or give us TP. In addition, it can make him use Corsair Rolls - he did Rogue's Roll, Hunter's Roll, and Fighter's Roll. He used Hot Shot and Split Shot, thankfully no Slug (these only hit for around 80-100). My Slugs were doing over 500 with sole sushi and STR gear - no merits or anything.

Popped an Au Lait and about 5 Hi Potions, and used Rogue's Roll and Hunter's Roll. Was a piece of cake.

Hmmmm, I'm gonna have to try this out.

It's honestly very easy. I probably didn't even need the HiPotions after he cured me 2-3 times, but I was worried about a surprise Slug Shot. HiPotion tanks are dirt cheap anyways, though, so just grab one and an Au Lait and you're good to go.

Gambling's the only real expense, but if multiple pouches can drop per attempt, this might be a cheap way to get some bullets (about 15k/stack here for Iron).

From experience, those drops aren't ever 100%, and I doubt that multiple pouches would drop. In my opinion, unless this bullet can be crafted, this is a silly drop.

Why?

You'll probably NEVER see them sold on the AH. Anyone who gets these to drop in an ENM is....a Corsair! Makes sense that they would keep them to use for themselves. I can blow through 99 bullets in an XP party like it's nothing, so by the time the 5 day ENM cooldown is off those bullets are long gone. :D

[Russta]

I agree that it's fucking stupid to drop only a single pouch in the ENM, would it really have hurt them to give us a stack of 12 for how traditionally rare a drop from it even is?

I fucking LOVE our Tricorne!

Well, has anyone else DONE the solo ENM? I haven't seen anyone else but myself jump in there.

Sure, it's a dream that it drops more than one pouch, but remember... In the past, the solo ENM rarely dropped the "item" there. I think I did the PLD one close to 10 times, and only got the Musk once towards the end. I never even saw the Worm Belt or whatever else it is people got from there. Maybe I just got lucky it dropped this one time, but we'll find out Thursday if I try it again.

In addition, we normally got a piece of enchanted equipment, and this time, we're getting ammo.

Just saying, it might be a bit different. Might be a guaranteed drop, might drop more than one, might might might... Hard to prove if I'm the only one jumping in there, though.

I do believe it'll only drop the one pouch, but until I do a couple more, I'm always open to the possibility that S-E can do something right.

Alright geek, I'll put my money where my mouth is and try it tonight. I'll try to get pics and information. Deal? :D

Now that's hawt. Congrats! I can't wait to be 75....13 more to go.

A little positivity from BG? Unpossible!

I'd wish you luck, but the ENM is so retardedly easy.

[Norelco]

I think the few that play COR are a nice little community. :D

i tried this enm the other night,

i regret not bringing aulaits or hipotions (i had 2 hipot tanks in safe too)

i started the fight with hunters + ninja roll then quickdraw..... random deal didnt reset quickdraw

the puppet hits for really low damage.. but does seem to have alot of life

even with trump gun , didnt bother to get back my matchlock, i was doing like 80 damage per hit, and was hitting pretty consistantly, no food on me
both slugshots i did on him took like 400~ damage

luck is really needed in this BC.. not one time did the goblin cast anything on me. the puppet got off hunters roll, got cured for like 200~ , and also attack and defence boosts ..... he used sniper shot, hot shot, and slugshot which ended up killing me at the end... =/

i'll try again and be more prepared

if a stack of bullets is 100% drop.. then this could be decent ammo to keep for QD / WS macros

[ircgeek]

Any idea how much Slug hit you for? I don't think it'll be enough to drain all your HP, but want to know how lazy I can be with curing and waiting for the goblin to cure me to cut down costs.

[Norelco]

Yeah, I would opt for Matchlock over Trump Gun. I hope I don't get gouged on the price to enter this tonight.

[safer]

hmmm i cant remember the exact number, did this 2 days ago.. but it was the final shot that killed me...

i say maybe around 400 damage he hit me for (he might have had an attack boost up)... i was laughing pretty hard though ; ;

his hotshot did like 120~ damage, and sniper shot was lower i think

[Maboroshi]

Just did the ENM the other day myself and you're right, it is extremely easy if you don't get hit with a slug shot at least. Had about 9 hi pots with me and didn't use a single one. Au lait proved effective enough. Gob never healed me or the automaton either.

However, no, the pouch is not a 100% drop. I got a sack of worm mulch

[ircgeek]

And as usual, S-E lets me down. I'll prolly still do it anyways. 2k for like 20 minutes of work... Not so bad if you don't have time for a party.

[Norelco]

I got hit with a slug shot and lost. Based on others experiences I only grabbed 3 hi-pots and 2 au laits, and the marrionette kept giving 300 tp to the NM. This guy has an incredible amount of HP. I landed 3 or 4 slug shots and he was still only down to 25% by the time I finally died.

Semi-necro bump.

Back to the COR LV70 cap fight, has anyone figured out the "special conditions" to win? It's just too hard to solo straight up, so any pointers would be appreciated.
