[SE]- Chocobo Racing is HERE! (03/29/2007)

Why is everyone seeing T to 75 and I'm runnin around Batallia seeing TW's :\

Because most mobs in Batallia are TW to 75, but if you look in the right spot, you'll find a T Goblin.

I wonder if its a smithy type, those are mean.

Maybe they get stronger the more they are killed?

I thought too weak ones are meant to aggro, this one in bubu doesn't do jack! It has a total of 550 HP when I killed it too.

Too Weaks are only meant to aggro when you are resting, or when its a Detector. But since someone said these Goblin Bounty Hunters are T to 75, at least it will provide some limited about of harrassment to the fishbotters... even if their HP is little more than a Detector.

So far I'm digging the races ;p pretty nice.

[Maguspk]

I won the first three, then tried a Free race and got my ass handed to me by 3 chocobos, coming in 4th. Fucking items...

Also it's gay how the stat raising items are for adult chocos in raising already. So gay... Now I have to raise another chocobo, save up those 80 tickets and then train the chocobo in it's defficient skill (stamina)?Lame.

The rewards are all racing related too, and since you can only compete against NPCs it's just a time sink. Ugh.

[BRP]

I'm quite happy that you can buy items with chocobucks.

Normally, I pay like... 36k for a stack of Vomp Carrots. With 10 Chocobucks I can get that. At most it would cost me is 2-3k.

I'm hearing talk of 2k prizes for some races.

In todays economy, it sounds better than farming black tiger fangs to me.

Chocobo Racing isn't bad. But I wish I had raised a str/end based chocobo earlier

[BRP]

For official races it goes 500 > 1000 > 1500 > 3000(which I think costs 3 chocobucks). I haven't tried reruns, but they might give the same amount of gil.

rofl, DIE EXP PARTIES IN VALKURM/QUFIM! maybe now people will go to bubu/maze

[Priran]

Bounty Hunters are Smithy-type, run at about 125% speed, and are typically paired, running intersecting paths along the coast (and turn almost immediately upon reaching the end of their path). They patrol the entire coast of Buburimu, cliffs and beaches, so I assume they do so for all of their zones.

Other than the running speed, they're negligibly stronger than other mobs in the zone, so I don't see why these would ruin EXP in their areas. I didn't see a single Tough-to-75 Bounty Hunter, or hell, anything stronger than normal, among all of the bounty hunters in Buburimu, which is a lot.

that's what I said

[BRP]

I just did a rerun of the highest race, which rewards 3000 gil. It costs 1 Chocobuck(compared to 3), and it only awarded me 30 gil ;/.

I'm hoping the rising fee for Free Runs (50 gil for each repeat) resets after JP Midnight... as does the gil given from Official matches.

GOBLIN BOUNTY HUNTERS FTMFW

I was heading into LoO when I saw my first GBH.

They move -fast-. And they're thorough. Literally scraping along every nook and cranny looking for something to fight.

And sure enough, there was a RMT PT camping the Lord when I went in. Fucktards. ^^

Is it just me, or did they change the wording on Gravity. Effect of "weighted down"?
