Trading gear for influence

[Eddie]

I wish we could organize this sort of thing again. I would love to get Ronfaure and Sarutabaruta. (I was away from Bastok saving the inferior nations when this happened. ;_

Same. Let's do this!

[Midnightjade]

I have them all except Norvallen, and have been trying to get that last one for months. For some reason it's never under Bastokian control on Midgard, and to add insult to injury the tar00s have had it for the last two weeks. Grr.

Get 3 Basotkan Galka Monks, and head for KRT every night for the week.
Just don't forget to actually get some XP while you're down there Septimus.
This will give you a good foundation, because you're comparing the Conquest influence of a merit party vs. the conquest influence of Joe LV5 fighting Goblin Weavers.

I have nightmares about partying in KRT. Never again.

I remember a long time ago, a group of lvl 100 crafters did this. They banded together and synther a bunch of low level stuff for practically nothing, then traded it to the Outposts in the homecity regions hours before the conquest update. Everyone woke up the next morning to find that Bastok owned Ronfaure AND Sarutabaruta. It was awsome. ^^

I tried to do this a few weeks ago with only used enchantment items, but it fell depressingly short. 32 RR pins, 10 RR gorgets, and a few Warp Cudgels and Hi-pot tanks only moved the difference between Sandy and Bastok in Ronfaure from 63% to 42%. My recommendation would be--unless you're independently wealthy--to get a team of 3-4 people with each like 1M saved up for the effort, to also save up some of that enchantment crap for a few weeks. Then 2-3 hours before conquest trade it all, and then hit the AH referring to Tymora's list that Naver linked above to make up the difference.

Someone also told me after the fact that if your nation is in 3rd place at the time you get more influence per trade, but I don't know if that's the case or not; hopefully Tymora will see this thread. :D

There's also a bunch of stuff not on that item list that are great trade-ins. Raxa gear comes to mind.

No doubt there is a lot of stuff that isn't on that list. I don't think it was meant to be comprehensive, just what he happened to check when he orchestrated two rather successful takeovers a year or two ago on our server.

[Tordall]

NQ elemental staves have a nice effect. So does gavial gear.

[Khamsin]

What about Khimaira gear and igqira weskits? What else are you gonna do with all those manes, hairs, and talons?

[Septimus]

OK, Bahamut server needs to have an OP swap. Everyone takes everyone else's OPs for one week.

Week one-
Bastok: Ronfaure
San d'Oria: Sarutabaruta
Windurst: Gustaberg

Week two-
Bastok: Sarutabaruta
San d'Oria: Gustaberg
Windurst: Ronfaure

Everyone gets to be OCD about getting every outpost, everyone wins.

[Gere]

On remora, bastok got saruta a couple weeks ago and this week we got ronfaure. :D

[Khamsin]

Can you imagine the horror if they actually did add an obtainable Movalpolos outpost? People who have all the outposts would no longer have them all, and likely never would after that point.

I think that Moblins would become an endangered species as all of the completests rushed to finish their perfect sets.

And I think that I would create a mule whose sole purpose in life would be to hold Movalpolos Waters so I could have Squirrel's Delight until the end of time.

[Scar]

I'm rank 10 in all 3 nations, and I'll never switch after getting all the OPs as a Windurst citizen.

What really sucks is knowing I have about 100-150k Conquest Points in Bastok and 20-50k in San D'Oria that I'll never be able to spend because of it.
