I got the same -EXACT- ring.

Same stats and augments, etc.

Went 1/1 on this,

Pld/rdm blm/rdm whm/sch rdm/blm rng/nin smn/whm

Easy fight, didnt had any problem at all at any part of the fight. Pld runs out of aoe when draw in, rng + smn DD, blm to stun and kill clone.

Nothing to say really, everyone stayed at starting point except pld.

Got Mirke Body, phoenix feather, hi elixir and adaman ore fully geared as mnk

[Flokk_9]

Pld/rdm
Rdm/drk
Sam/rng
Smn/whm
Smn/whm
Brd/whm (heavy mp build, tapped mp pool hard)

19~ minute win, not any scary moments at all. Paladin was charmed once, just lullabied him and the samurai ran in and out of draw-in for the duration. No stun resists. Summoners spammed bite and claws, ranger WS'd clones. The corners tip is good, sam/rng and mages ate zero AoE or -agas. Our formation looked like this (see spoiler), with bard running to top of arch and landing ballads on party with harp and then single target buffing the sam/rng. All in all this was a piece of cake fight, hard to believe it took two losses to pull of a win.

Spoiler: show

Now to decide on a body...

[Ghondi]

Has anyone figured out if the random items depend on what job you are on at the time when you open the chest or what body piece that you might pick or anything like that or is just 100% random BS?

[tewl]

I won for the second time this morning (tossed my first body lol).

PLD/DRK RDM/DRK WHM/SM BRD/WHM RNG/SAMx2

PLD focused on stunning the charm while I stunned -ga 3s

Fight went extremely fast and very smooth. I think we still hold server record (Seraph) of a little over 15 minutes.

Do not think it is totally random as i got the pet acc/ ranged attack earring when i was smn. maybe i got lucky? idk

but the guy i was with also got a death ring, eva+2(he was a nin) so there might be something to it. just hard to tell.

[miokomioko]

Is there a better way/place to record/chart out each ACP Key's rewards and augments? So far, I'm something like...

Crimson Key: Iron Ingot

Viridian Key: Swordbelt [STR+1] [VIT+1]

Amber Key: Hi Potion

Azure Key: Beak Mantle [Evasion +2] [Subtle Blow +1]

Ivory Key: Vile Elixer



also: If I were to re-kill the goblin NMs and approach the Qufim ??? with the 3 appropriate key items, could I repop the Mandragora mission and get another 500exp and Amber Key?

[Mala]

Do you get another Ebon Key if you clear the BC a second time?

Also wondering this

[Eklm]

I just was wondering, since I've never played any tank job in my life, if Pld/rdm is required or does /war do just as well. I mean does MDB and Stoneskin/Phalynx make that large of a difference or is there something else I am not even thinking of

And yes, Page claim ^.^

its not a must my pt won with a pld/war(he was hume tank)

not great MDB set but he had some stuff.

you wont be casting SS phal idk if that helps its ele magic dmg it does. its really to hold hate/ take less dmg. by no means is it needed

my set up again

pld/war
smn/whm
smn/whm
whm/blm
bard/wh
blu/drk

went very well had about 4min left over. you cant stop DDing it with the smns if you do this set up though... avg hit was 500-600 peak of 900 and a low of 130 by one of us.

[TybudX]

What you are asking is, will going in naked with no defense against the mob's attacks (all magic based) be as effective as going in with an appropriate support job, spells you can actually use, and gear that will actually have an effect on how much damage you take?

Yes, obviously /rdm will have a huge impact on a PLDs survival. If they have a decent MBD set, a WHM with Shell V, a RDM with Phalanx II merited, then /war isn't as bad, but really... game mechanics. You just can't get around them.

why would Phalanx IIdo anything? its all ele magic dmg right?

[Zigfried]

=/

[Dein]

You could probably do this fight with Pld/war but the extra mdb from /rdm helps out quite a bit as this boss is purely magic based. I've helped 2 groups through this fight and never really had hate issues despite only being able to cast flash most of the time due to all the draw-ins.

[dejet]

about to try final BC with PLD/war. WAR, RNG, WHM, SMN, BLM. hopefully it will go well. The 2 plds in our group only have rdm in the 20s so its /war or nothing =/

had to say how it will go. as i feel the war/nin might get chamred. but the ranger and smn should be ok to do most the dmg. GL though!

[Eleven19]

Won very handily with same basic setup as before.

PLD/RDM
WAR/NIN
WHM/SMN
RNG/NIN
COR/RNG (Me)
BLU/WAR (Cannonball DEF)

Won in 16 mins, very easy. Everybody but the PLD was up on the entrance staircase, RNG and I ran down slightly to slug/side, and the War occasionally ran down to grab the clones if I was mid shot, otherwise I would just pull them up with a Fire Shot and a few swings got rid of them.

[dejet]

idk if this would go here but i posted it (i think on the other page)
i got a spinel earring with aug on it
thunder resist+10 water resist+10
Accuracy+1
Pet:Accuracy+1 Ranged Accuracy+1

[sruon]

Phalanx reduces all damage.

and I definitly had time to cast Stoneskin and Phalanx as PLD/RDM.

[drwaffles]

Holy HELL, this mage body is ugly as all fuck...
