Go All to Pieces—The Mog Tablet Quest Unearthed! (05/07/2009)

[Khamsin]

I'm sure they won't need a week to find all the tablets. I'm sure they'll all be found within 5 minutes of spawn, every week. And I wouldn't be surprised if the same people manage to get the ring every week, too.

[Max™]

So if I understand the bitching about "I'll never get one of these rings", people are going to be spamming 11 Kupofried charges every week, non-stop, forever... while managing to cover 32 zones of possible pop locations, including gems such as: VoS, Ro'Maeve, the Jungles (watch it be able to pop in the area where the ZM headstone is, so you gotta go through cauldron to check there).

It isn't like it will be popping in the same 11 zones in the same exact spots, and odds are it will have some sort of cycling timer. Find when the window is due, pick a zone and hope you get lucky.

[Toth]

I imagine SE has a plan to prevent examples lile above. Who even knows how long the respawn will be. Those zones are mighty big and you are trying to find a random needle in a haystack.

Anything that benefits everyone and is a fun event= win.

[Max™]

Yeah, having a 1 in 4 (right?) chance of getting FULL TIME GODDAMN FLEE FOR BEING HEALED because of other people being guaranteed to spam to get tablets every week for their rings sucks.

Signet is already awesome, aside from not being the best for exping, Signet buffs make you BUFF... having even more buffs randomly tossed in is obviously made of suck.

It's like going to get Sanction/Sigil, but instead of buying the refresh/regen/food shit, you randomly find out you have refresh/regen, skillups, and a week long flee effect.

Shit, I'd just spend those weeks zooming around like an idiot, like I do during the swords event... til the Omodaka teleports over and buttsexes me.

[Xno Kappa]

This event is pretty bad-ass but let's not fool ourselves here, more then likely 90% of the people who find the tablets will have done so through some assistance. So yeah, good job SE! Gold star for encouraging the kids.

Personally I don't care about the ring, I'm rather more interested in the increased drop rate on treasure caskets. Might help to motivate myself into going back and trying for Gothic equips after months of nothing.

[Khamsin]

Flee signet = train everywhere.

Just put up stoneskin/blink/phalanx to make sure you don't drop below "fully healed", and off you go. Sneak? What's that?

The best part of it is being able to run while having mobs whack at you (as long as you're buffed so you're at 100% hp).

[Starless]

Check this out! If you decide to just not look for the tablets, SE still just gave you more goodies than had they not even put this little extra feature in!

[Hogie]

By the sounds of it, once you get 1 of the 11 stones, that stone will not "repop" until 1 week later. Sounds like only 11 rings per week are going to be given out and you are going to have to get dam lucky to get one

I don't think the radar program is going to work. The tablet works differently from treasure crates in that it only appears when you walk near it.

I can only think of one thing in the game that appears when you walk near it - the Lost And Found assault (Ilrusi 7 i believe?) has a ??? that can only be targeted if you stand on top of it.

Basically, your client program doesn't know where the tablet is. The server spawns the tablet only after you stand in the correct location. It despawns when you walk away.

DAT swaps won't help either, even if you replace the tablet with Tiamat it won't appear until you walk near it.

If this works anything like the Mermaid Ring quest, you will have to be almost literally on top of the Tablet for it to show up. Many Tab keys will be destroyed very soon.

SE: "Hey guys, this time you'll get a free exp ring and 11 bonuses with it for doing nothing! Plus for those who care there's another exp ring to get out there! Oh, and the event lasts forever!"

Players: "WHAT? Not everyone is gonna get the 2nd ring? BS event"

[DAKPluto]

Guess using a chocobo is out...

Ride Chocobo

Use Apradar

Find tablet on Radar

Dismount chocobo

It really didnt say whether or not rings will be able to be obtained more than once. They will probably make it once every 11 weeks or something, sticking with their 11 theme. Or 1 per year. Does anyone know anything different?

Edit: Also, given there are 52 weeks in a year, and 11 can be given out per week...that means there are 572 given out per year. If your server has at least 2500-3000 people, everyone should have one (considering only able to obtain 1) in 5-6 years. No rush ><

[Not Kuno]

I still have an unused anni ring from last year. Zzzz

[Antithesis]

Instead of the constant bitching why doesn't someone go find the French, German or Japanese version of this update and translate it. English translators make these stupid mistakes all the time (I.E Augments.) Maybe there was a typo or something. If there wasn't then bitching about this really is not going to do much.

Light the elmer signal.

[JigglyJam]

Fuck y'all. I like this quest. Free bonii with signet and a chance at a sexy exp ring is fucking awesome. I want that Nomad Moogle Statue too.

People do pay a monthly fee for them to update the game, so it's not really 'free'. The signet bonuses are cool yes, but you really don't think they could have implemented the ring in a better way? At least one that doesn't directly encourage/benefit cheating?

Non-targetable/non-visible stuff shows up in apradar.

[Pikarya]

Sucks for console users, lul.

Ain't saying this is the best way to implement it, but I can't figure out anything better right now considering that they want only 11 people to get these per week (which is reasonable in my opinion, considering the stats...no need to agree with me here).

And it is free in terms of working for the items in game, lol. You do almost nothing ingame (talk to moogle) and get something in return. Oh, this might be SE's next RMT scheme though, it is suspicious. It's not like them to give stuff for just paying a monthly fee...

Pure gold. I almost injured myself laughing.

You, sir, are a genius.
