MMM findings

[Wolfknight]

Has anyone gotten a sword post patch WITHOUT CC?

I got Mamool Ja earring and Ermie's Tail out of non-CC points chest post patch and tail/koggelmander out CC chest, all being resonated, though earring had stillness/GW both resonated[the fight sucked ass though]. Don't have exact maze for each of them though. All but Non-CC dagger were copied mazes btw.

Not much new to add for V05. Still trying to get a fast cast belt >_< Here's photo confirmation of what someone posted earlier, though. Baricos in the well on the right (crates) after Spellsinger job change. I didn't notice any new "ultimate technique" as per usual. I was rewarded with MND-3 belt -_-;

[Makai]

Just got 2 fast cast belts from the same run. Rune 102 + 114 (walloper), 5 CC.

Cleared L1-3, M1-3, R1-3 as walloper. Forgot to do the vendor quest. Being able to change jobs w/o needing the items saved a little time. Got the message about ultimate challenge and killed a wyvern at middle area as walloper. Changed job to spellslinger and blitz ace'd the behemoth boss.

belt 1: mp +17, mdb +1, fast cast +1
cc belt: mnd +1, m.acc +1, fast cast +1
also got rune 116 (spellslinger)

I think next time I'll try clearing the whole maze as walloper only or spellslinger only and try to see if that'll get Chaperix to use the 'ultimate attack.' Also curious if clearing the maze as spellslinger will get something higher than fast cast+1...but its pretty slow to level it up that way.

I've been completely clearing entire mazes as Spellslinger with only Might, Supreme Might and Trial by Numbers set for the last few days, haven't seen anything new in terms of Chaperix's behaviour or rewards.

I've been having the worst luck with the gobbie run. I'm after an INT/MAB belt, which I've only seen on the Goblin Cest, so I've been leveling him on Spellslinger no higher than 40. So far I've gotten weapons boss twice, behe once, and slimes once, and the only time he didn't die was slimes, which he beat easily. Behe he got to like 20% before dying, and he only managed to kill like half the weapons. What affects which boss you get, and/or their difficulty? Or is it random?

[Viq]

You can get INT/MAB on lvl75 belt. My super lucky belt just happened to be lvl60 from a run where I was dicking around. The biggest thing with Spellsinger is to make sure you have Revitalizer. It's from the 3rd crate from the right when you enter R3. It'll make him summon 4 avatars, and they'll make short work of whatever boss you should happen to get.

[Suiram]

The other thing to note is always go to the boss with at least 4min remaining, 5 to be safe. This is more because even if you have a super ridill walloper, if you get weapons you'll still have to wait for their timed pops, and under 3min you'll time out as a result.

now it's just mocking me :/

Killed weapons with 5% HP left. I know the dumb fucker has a bunch of pots on him, but he doesn't use them.

While we can logically guess which combination of runes is requires to get a Barkborer to drop... has anyone actually gotten the drop? We've tried 06 13 94 several times but no drops. Just read up on the resonating bit and will try that soon. I'd love to see a screenshot of the axe... just to know which model it is.

Maybe a good Quick Drawpiece Nerull? lol

Confirmed this today, Barkborer off Iyamoopo.

Setup:

Vermin
Great Warrior (resonating on earth)
Motion (not resonating)
Might
Warrior
Lost and Found

Went 2/3 on Eventreuse using the reverse setup (Tabula 02 with Motion resonating and GW not), 1/1 with the setup above.

Unlike the Eventreuse though, the Barkborer model isnt unique.

Well I've been doing the goblin run a number of times and have down a strategy that seems to be working well for me for the close combat gob, it seems to work hella well.

I am using atm trial by velocity, warrior (gives me gobbie war job traits which is nice, DA seems to proc quite often for him), and supreme might. (Might just isnt dropping for me, ever, so I don't have it on or I would)

The might and supreme might increase the mobs in the areas levels, thus boosting the rate the goblins level up speeds.

Warrior adds DA and other warrior traits to him. Dunno any others off hand.

My first step is to get all the npc start stuff done, talk to Sonchostiq and chaperix, run upstairs and start the key quest, then start fighting. I don't talk the the smith goblin until I have mats for both weapons and the key and just do all 3 together.

I then do all three slayer runs back to back, which puts my gob close to level 40., generally high 30s (I dunno how you guys are hitting 60...)

Then I move on and do all three box breaking runs in a row. This gets me the mats for both close combat weapons, the key, and a epic pile of potions, elixirs, and even a revitalizer for my goblin. Oh and 18 gobbie surpries (wtf are these for anyways? >_>)

With all these pots my goblin is now nigh invincible. I then run to switchlox, swap to close combat mode, then talk to the smith and get both weapons and the key.

Then I'm at about 6-7 misn left, stil ltrying to get faster at it but my itnerne tloads the rooms slow, so i run upstairs and sick my goblin on the mobs. Atm he pretty much rips the slimes to shreds and takes down the behemoth pretty competently.

I have not fought the weapons yet so dunno about that. I also have not taken on the mega boss yet either, but I think if I can get my timings perfect tomorrow I'll try taking on the close combat mega boss, believe thats middle path?

I'll post my results on if I notice anything different after taking it down.

TL; DR:

Sonchistiq -> Chaperix -> Bouncebix

Slayer runs x3

Box runs x3 (Make sure you grab all the ???s! Very important!)

Switch to Close combat

Tempatriq key/Weapon1/Weapon2

BOSS FIGHT

(Might just isnt dropping for me, ever, so I don't have it on or I would)

<_<, you buy might from the moblin for 300 marbles, it can't drop afaik.

[urat]

...That would explain a lot ._.

We get to 60 by spending most of the leveling time down the left path, not the middle. The mobs down the left path are quite a bit stronger, he levels up very fast if you just tank a few for him and let him swing away. Looks like you're not even doing the left path at all, so I'm not surprised that you're not making it to 60.

Ah I see, would you then say itd be more effective to do all three left runs instead of the middle runs?

Also, are we finding the boss and mega boss are scaling to our gobs level?

[Darkrider]

got this a few minutes ago. lvl 55 walloper

[Gergall]

Maze Rune 108 also makes your gob level up faster, so that helps you reach 60. 108 can only drop in mazes when you use 094 (Lost And Found)

I don't think so.

[Viq]

No one has posted it yet, so I'll fill you in on how to get Chaperix to 60 in no time. 4 worms in M1, then enough M2 mobs to hit 15. R1-2, and just get the Revitilzer in R3 (R2-3 not important for leveling, but if you're on the right side you might as well do them). L1, only let Chaperix kill 2 bats because he takes forever. Change job to Barrager, and head to L2. Round up as many mobs as you can, and watch him gain 5+ levels per bomb toss. Be sure you can either grab hate easily on several mobs, or you can cure Chaperix because he's going to get beat up quickly until he hits 40 or so. He should be able to go from around lvl25 - 50+ in L2 doing this, and it'll take about 5 minutes. If you want to hit 60, round up a couple spiders in M3, let him bomb toss a couple of times, and away you go.
