Ashu Talif assault things

[doofy]

Not sure if others are running into the same problem (certain people have said they still had all three active post patch), but after spamming two nights ago I left all three open. Going back after the patch to reflag today the NPC only takes coins for 1 and then locks out (took 1 mythril for #3 and does not take anymore coins/responds with "Finish the one yer on first..."). Not sure yet if you can go back after winning to reflag 1 and 2, but for right now it looks like you're locked into 1/day regardless of which one it is. I wont personally know for sure until I can do #3 again today, but it looks like they completely crapped this out. Being able to do all three each day would have still been tolerable, but if you are in fact locked @1/day they've changed this from a fun/new event into 7 dice rolls per week for Haidate Jrs.

Not only have they screwed up one of the best things in ToAU so far, they have made 1 and 2 completely useless after you clear them. Gotta hand it to SE for completely crapping out one of the few things they've done that had received a completely positive response from the endgame playerbase. I hope you can reflag as you win each day and still do all three, but Im not counting on it.

So wait. Do you still have the Assault orders for the 1st and 2nd fights, Vyz?

Or did you finish them and only have #3 flagged (by trading Mythril after the patch)?

If it's 3/day it'll be obnoxious but tolerable. If it's 1/day it's almost not worth doing.

[doofy]

All three were open/not flagged after we did 1/2/2/3/3/3 the other night (prepatch). Went to the npc today and could select from all three, but once I traded a single mythril to flag #3 the npc locked out.

Aw fuck...

That's massively retarded, on so many levels.

At least normal Assaults have a guaranteed payoff in terms of AP. These are totally luck of the dice, so retarded of SE to "fix" it like this.

[Lordender]

I don't agree with this newest slap in the face, I mean seriously if it was because this assault can drop a cerb hide why didn't they just nerf the hide drop rate? or remove it? the pants are already ultra rare.

[Karik]

what a fucking joke, gg

better at least make it so you can reflag if you lose or something, i feel bad for ppl that didn't get past stage 1

*sigh* =/

[Slott]

My findings on this: You can only flag one per day, however, you can lets say...

Day 1: flag, dont do it
day2: do it, reflag, do it again..

However, did they nerf the drops on ??? box? Today got death stone and puk wing from it, never got those before

Did the second Ashu Talif assault today (someone flagged the wrong one >.>) and when we won there was 3 treasure chests instead of the usual 2. Pictures below!

So far it's only given me shell twice and I keep zoning before getting to see how long the effect lasts. 45 minute recast so haven't been able to pop it too many times yet.

Edit: Popped it again and I got blink. Took off my Utsusemi and gave me regular mage blink which wore off in 2 hits

Double shell effect....

I'd want that crown only so everyone annoys me with tells

"OMFG WHAT DOES TEH CROWN DO?"

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

I thought it would be Enchantment: Gets stolen by that bitch naja

That'd be funny if you use it, get a CS of her taking it from you, saying your rank. Then the option comes up.

"Your reaction?"

"Kill the bitch"
"Let her have it"

I can see it now, tomorrow..... some dumbass will post a new thread asking how to get megrim crown

It's probably in the progress now.

PS nice sig, too bad her mace isn't up her ass ^^

megrim \MEE-grim\, noun:
1. A migraine.
2. A fancy; a whim.

Figures. We now have a magic item that buffs you with whatever the hell it feels like at the time.

[solsovly]

Now, in 33 runs of #1 and #2, could you make over 470K in items?

#3 runs 24K for three people to flag it on Ragnarok as of 10/24. Can you reasonably make > 24K on a single run of the third Assault?

Hot damn! Look at that money come rolling in. Almost any common drop from any repeatable BC is worthless for selling (even if it is good).

Then why is survival belt worth so much, when Steamed Sprouts has to be the most common BC? BRDs don't even need their own orb, people will gladly share their loot with them if they'll come sleep mandies for them. You'd think they'd be worth 5k or something.

...wait, this is 2003, right?

I lol'd. Nice flashback there...I remember when those were a trash drop.

I lol'd too. I miss the days where survival belt was a vendored item. Refresh was actually ok loot, and if you got phalanx or erase you were :D

[Jeryhn]

Double shell effect is awesome. Does the enchantment wear off if you unequip the crown?

[Lordwafik]

Isnt the effect a ??? effect? Doesnt that mean completely random, as in today could be shell and tomorrow could be STR+10?

Like a well placed Barthunder right before a nice gobbie bomb or a bomb self-destruct XD.


Live by the sword, die by the crown >.>;

From what Tythera already said it sounds like this thing just gives lame effects like the bands of wandering (monkeys birds etc) at new years.
