Stage 5 - Completed Relic Weapons List

[TsingTao]

Haroc on Fenrir says he's got Spharai. I'm stuck on Unicorn so someone else will have to get a pretty SS or something.

He also says he has Mars Ring, lol. I mean, I guess it's possible, but...

[Amedia]

Cant really say ive ever seen someone by Haroc on Fenrir. and im like 99% sure AV hasn't even been killed on Fenrir but i could be wrong.

Fenrir - Cepter - Aegis

Ouch Rukenshin, sucks about having to wait for the fragment. I was in the same situation for a week and its definitely excruciating. My advice to anyone on S5 is to start looking for chances to try your Animated Weapon when you hit @50% needed to finish.......

As for stopping warping, Wafik and Nodachi might be able to give you the best advice for Tachi, since they've both defeated it. Nodachi posts over on KI and also has a LJ, not sure if he posts here. It does seem like some of the weapons are a bit more emo and tend to warp faster, I saw some speculation that the North side weapons tend to become agitated faster and that definitely proved to be the case with Axe.

We tried a lot of different things and I think it took us 4-5 tries to beat Axe. First 2-3x we preserved 2 hours for Dlord, 4th time we used 2 hours and tried to save WS for stun, 5th try we just said fuck it and went all out. First 4 tries it warped on us from 1-10% and once at 30% on a botched pull.

What seemed to work though, was just having our DD deal damage, but....we told them to stagger their WS, 2 hours and throw in random /ja along the way. The first few times we just didn't damage fast enough without 2 hours and it warped after sticking around a while. The 1% Warp we used 2 hours but had jobs like WAR try and Smash Axe but sacrificed a ton of damage from Rampage. The last time we just went crazy on it and it died in maybe 30s.

I wouldn't compare Dagger to Tachi/Axe really, it tended to stay around a long time and we got it to 1% without 2 hours. With 2 hours we killed it in 30s like axe. The only relevant info is that Mercy Stroke did interest it the 1st time, the 2nd time it was impatient the entire time before it died, even when I used Mercy Stroke (2x).

Anyways good luck, it'll all be well worth it and I'm definitely looking forward to some testing/results.

The attestations seem way more time-consuming than fragments; I don't really see how people struggle with fragments being a limiting factor so much. Nothing against Ruke's LS (our Amanomurakumo is stuck waiting on Velosareon to be nice).. but as soon as people get enough currency to reach stage4, or sometimes earlier, we kill the animated next Xarcabard. 2-3 good MNKs in PT communicating with Shoulder Tackle seems to hold any animated long enough to kill, even without 2hrs and icarus wings. We don't do fragments till after DL, so 2hrs are down and meds are used. We save TP on about the last 6 demons before we reach the respective weapon, have a simple WS stun order on warps and they all die in around a 30-50s, having to stop usually 1-2 warps.

[Lhexh]

Which WS are you sitting on to interrupt? Stun WS or multi-hit ones. We've been having major problems with attendance for our Xarca runs so we don't have the damage to beat Gkatana before it warps without an interruption. In our 7 attempts at GKatana, we've interrupted its Warp twice, the first time was a win for Muteki's fragment, second time was a loss at 1% for Ruk. We always have 2-4 people sit on TP to use Flat Blade or some other stun WS when it warps but it just never seems to interrupt with any consistancy.

It's become extremely frustrating since our typical Xarca run is down to 30 people, 6 or 7 of them THF, along with usually 3-4 of them being 2-boxed chars. We lack the damage to kill this in under 20 seconds, always losing between 1% and 15% when it warps. We've used relic WS, Kaiten, on it and did SC+MB and never once seen a message showing interest. I'm just not sure if Gkatana has some unique conditions around it, since we've never had any problems with any other fragment, killing most of them on first try, with this being our 8th relic in LS.

[Ryko]

We always take a bunch of melee to animateds, use BRD and SV double minuet to start, DP the adds, although i'm sure you know that part.

The trick we've found is to keep relatively smooth damage, and spike with WS/2hrs only when it gets near warping. Don't use BLM at all on GK if you can help it, and have NINs Mijin when he starts casting warp, it'll give you 5-10s more per Mijin.

We've killed almost all of the Animated weapons with 25 ish people like this, if you zerg TP and spike damage too much at the start then can't follow it up they leave very fast.

Hope this helps, any questions pm me back.

PMed to me, I assume it was ment for ruke but like.. sent to me <_< it applies to me though so I didn't notice till I actually bothered to check this thread.

Fenrir - Cepter - Aegis

I agree with Amedia, I don't believe AV has ever been downed on Fenrir. 100% not by any NA.

And Haorc doesn't even have stage 2 relic.

Don't bother adding him.

[Lordwafik]

If it helps any, GK is the only relic mob that has given us problems too. The others we would do them in 1 go, this stupid thing took us what, 5 times?

On the winning run, we ended up giving double minuet to the SAM who was getting his fragment ffrom our LS, and Aurik's MNK, MNK used hundred fists, SAM used Meiko and didnt even bother trying to make light anymore, he just went WS>WS>WS. Before that though, both guys had TP saved to make a light SC which all the blm MB'd off, that kept it out longer than normal from previous attempts at which we just went manazerging.

I'm sure you probably know since you've beat other weapons, melee damage is great. If your LS can, just hold people from SC'ing till they see Light+MB's go off (if you got a decent amount of blm 5~), then go nuts.

Edit : DRG is great for this fight when you are melee heavy, Angon+Dia3 = bliss.

Not sure if this was to me.. I had mentioned it briefly in the previous post:

We have 2-3 MNK sit on Shoulder Tackle; it's worked wonders, never failing us yet, though always some of that is attributable to luck, in a fight such as animated weapons.
