Gold Ingot from Seed Mandragora's key and Gold Thread from Seed Beastmen BC's key, hurray for moneys

[nitsuj]

I was able to solo on Corsair.. Wow

I think someone said they wanted to see pictures of augments?

Mmm.. Quick Draw.

That is one sexy piece. :D I want one.... but the SMN is oh sooooo pretty too

[Eanae]

You soloed on cor? Or am I reading into that wrong?

[Goldencarnage]

Has anyone tried to drop their body piece to get another and if so what did you do?

[matt4684]

not sure if this is mentioned yet or not, but if you obtain a viridian key prior to completing Gatherer of light (I) you MAY have to reaquire the key items from goblins that you spend for GoL (II). Waiting on GM now since I've killed all those mandies 2x and not getting credit for it despite the fact I have all 3 speedspalls in my inventory and advancing to GoL (II)

I think he's talking about the Mandragora fight in Qufim, in response to the ranger who died to it.

I guess some people can't read. SE specifically said you need to redo "Ode to Life Bestowing" (or whatever it's called) to reget your body-piece once dropped. Since you need an Omnis Stone to get the Ebon Key, I can only assume that includes the Delkfutt climb too.

If I took a guess once you drop your body piece and repeat the BCNM you'll get the key item you used for the body back.

A friend wants to redo it, I just wanted confirmation on what to do.

[Tymon]

Bit unrelated to the missions themselves, but I'm looking for someone who can rip the audio file from the last BC for me. Apparently, 64-bit CPU's can't get audio playback from POLUtils, so I'm unable to decode the file and rip it.

Anyone have a rip of this yet?

I'm just glad I got a screenshot of the cutscene after the fight. Thinking of using it as a new desktop background

[matt4684]

screenshots up in a few, but long story short, the dev team has no clue why I cannot advance on my mission

[miokomioko]

I haven't had connection issues for days... then I get R:0 when I finally weasel my way in to pop the Seed Mandragoras. Awesome. Hoofing it around to the goblins all over again. This is so fucking lame. I am really hoping it's some fluke and not something that happens to me every time I pop them or I am going to explode.

[matt4684]

yeah I'm waiting for the number of people in rolanberry, sauromugue, and batallia to fall below 70 before I try claiming goblins again

[Gwynplaine]

I'm utterly appalled and dumbfounded by how terribly conceived this add-on is. I knew that purchasing it was a crap-shoot so I'm not going to whine in that regard, but the implementation is nothing short of malevolence. There's no excuse for the kind of sheer incompetence involved in requiring hundreds of players to compete for something they know full and well are limited in amount.

The story might be very well done, and the effects slick, but I don't know because I'm too distracted hanging out in the various level 30 Dragon's Aery resulting from their asinine mission design.

I'm going to simply wait a week for things to lighten up, I feel like that's all I can do at this point to keep this add-on from being completely miserable. I definitely won't be purchasing the next 2 add-ons until I've evaluated how they turn out. I'm normally quite considerate for Square's blunders but this is just beyond excusable.

I decided that ACP will now stand for A Crappy Patch.

Won final BCNM in 20 minutes, PLD/RDM BST SAM/RNG RDM WHM RNG

Real joke, PLD/RDM make this shit so easy.

Edit : BST actually make it easier since whenever a pet is in range, it would no longer draw-in and just attack the pet, giving me 1-2 minutes to breathe.

Thanks to whoever posted the MSPaint on where to position.

Gear used, nothing fancy, resold MDB gear long ago, what it hits for roughly, and where to position :

Spoiler: show

[Clash Perez]

Tried SAM/RNG on the final BC, it worked pretty well despite a gear set that was hastily thrown-together ( Can be seen at: - FFXIAH.com ).

The above set plus Sole Sushi gave enough Ranged Accuracy to land almost every ranged attack and sidewinder (I think I missed only one or two); the boss's evasion seems to be very low.

PLD/RDM, WHM/SMN, RNG/WAR, SAM/RNG, BLM/WHM, RDM/BLM
We wiped at 13%... PLD had a hard time keeping hate (when did spamming Stoneskin become a hate tool?), and the RNG and I ran in to WS and ate Seed of Judgement at a bad time. We also had our BLM's Stun resist 2-3 times, causing us to eat too many -ga 3's.
