New Mercenary Ranks and Assault Missions (10/05/2006)

[Lithiani]

Naja Salaheem is an evil bitch. She stole my fucking Trump crown, it was my damn reward and not intended for her. I should show her where she can stick her mace. Seriously though, I hate her character with a passion.

Agreed, if there isn't a point where I get to beat the unholy shit out of her, I will be very disappointed. I'm still pissed there wasn't a point where I got to repay Nag'Molada for that slap... fucker needs to die.

I love Naja, such an interesting character.

[Koyangi]

P.S. This is in reference to you thinking you'll be SGT on the first day (not possible), and SgtM on the second.

Umm, I do believe I WILL get Sgt on patch day. (if I figure out the quest).

SgtM was the debate, and I guess I was just unaware that repeat points are blanked when you rank up. No problem, sorry for the confusion.

I made an edit to my P.S.(probably right after you quoted me), but yep, all points blank out.

Next Fanfest, you will fight Nag'Molada, Naja Salaheem, and Lion. Maybe.

You quoted me right before my sneaky ninja edit, clarifying where the Apoc Nigh storyline ties into.

@>.>--@ It's that quickness, like Cassius Clay, or Muhammad Ali, w/e you wanna call him. *does the Rope-A-Dope**

*doing the Rope-A-Dope continously can be hazardous to your health.

[Lithiani]

No, I haven't done much with the CoP Dynamis storyline at all. The coin drops suck, and I need coins.

[aurik]

I don't see why people *don't* do assault. It's 15 minutes for approximately 100k worth of sellable item on Asura, assuming a trio.

Also, I'm 3/5 yigit and will be 5/5 in about a week and a half. Full Yigit is pretty hot for any mage job while resting, and a majority of the endgame population has at least 1 mage job...

3/5 as well. Yigit and the Invigorating Cape will finish off my resting gear and I will be a /healing monster. Relaxing Earring took longer to get than 2 pieces of Yigit probably, stupid POS drop rate. ~_~

my hMP set right now is as follows:
Plutos +10
AF1+1 hat +1
Grandi Chain +2
Magnetic Ear +1
Relaxing Ear +2
Yigit/Errant Bd +5
Invigo Cape +1
Hierach +2
Yigit Legs +2

Not much more to improve there, just finish off yigit (head and hands) for the refresh while resting, and then I'll be maxed out :D

[Sykes]

Yigit is pretty sexy and pretty underrated. I love the hMP and the refresh while resting ... I'm using ...

Pluto's Staff (+10)
Yigit Turban (+1)
Grandiose Chain (+2)
Boroka Earring (+1)
Relaxing Earring (+2)
Yigit Gomlek (+5)
Invigorating Cape (+1)
Cleric's Belt (+3) or Hierarch Belt (+2)
Yigit Seraweels (+2)
Yigit Gages
Yigit Crackows
(Set Bonus ~+3 hMP)

for a total of +30 hMP without food (usually I use Wizard Cookies on WHM and sometimes on BLM)

The best part is that all of the pieces (the assault ones and the non-assault ones) are relatively easy to get, and not too terribly expensive. The only way I could get more (as has been discussed in other threads) would be to replace some of the Yigit with Hydra gear and Mahatma Hpl. ... and while my LS does Tav and gets a somewhat respectable amount of Hydra gear (given how much Tav sucks), I can't really rely on it, nor do I plan to.

Yes, I am a hMP whore.

P.S. hMP rings would be nice. >.>

lol, I have almost the same gear, minus the cape and pants (I use baron's slops until we get to that assault). Except I don't have AF+1 hat yet, but Yigit Turban has the same amount.

Mahatma Hpl. is not better though if Yigit set is completed. There is also those hands and feet with +1hmp as well, but again, full Yigit > those lol.

Must....finish...yigit.... /drool

[aurik]

Mahatma Hpl, Genie Gages, and +1 feet are +3 hMP over full yigit. However, full yigit gives refresh, which I value at about +4hMP (it's stronger at first but converges to about 3.33hMP as your rest duration tends to infinity).

Unless you can get Hydra hMP gear, yigit ftw.

5/5 euvhi organs now, but only 2/5 lumi tissues ~.~

[Scythiroth]

5/5 euvhi organs now, but only 2/5 lumi tissues ~.~

I think I had around 10 tissues by the time I had those stupid organs. Worst drop rate I've ever had on anything. ~_~

[Sykes]

For what it's worth, anecdotally I've found that the drop rate on the Aw'euvhi in The Garden of Ru'Hmet is considerably better than that of the Eo'euvhi in The Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi. I haven't done any extensive tests on this, but I distinctly remember the Palace euvhi sucking.

[Scythiroth]

I actually did farm them in the Garden. One of my friends got all of theirs withing a few days. I think it took me a couple of weeks (I would take breaks, get pissed and leave, or have LS events).

[Reynard]

No, I haven't done much with the CoP Dynamis storyline at all. The coin drops suck, and despite me being totally bored to tears with the ZM dynamis runs Ive done a zillion times now, all the coin hoarders in my shell refuse to try something novel that would appeal to all the other non-relic upgrading members, so we never ever ever do CoP dynamis.
