Watchful Pixie - fight

[Deimos]

Has anyone tried to re-do the quest with a weapon type that they've already chosen to keep? This is especially relevant for mage jobs, because getting weapons with different types of augments on them could be extremely useful.

However, there's a very large problem here (assuming this is possible). The two weapons will have different stats, but the same names. This makes it impossible to have a macro that picks the right weapon for the situation. Just wondering if it's theoretically possible, anyway. Maybe some Windower wizard (Aikar?) can figure out how to equip an item based off its ID or something, instead of its name. That'd be the only way this could be useful.

I think it's because every PUP weapon has been shown after a fight against the Grauberg NM. i'm willing to bet money that certain NMs have specific augments for each job.

Perhaps the MAB augments are on the Frogs in West Saruta (S)

^
This should be it or SE won't waste their time creating too many NMs for us.

I really dont wanna fight frogs... *shudder*

[pchan]

Any info if the added lightining damage procs on both fists ?

[Kleiner]

I denied both weapons, so i'm afraid i have no information on that.

[Yeager]

A group of us on Shiva are about to attempt the East Ronfaure [S] fight.

Setup is PLD, SAM, SAM, WAR, RDM, BLM

We're thinking have PLD tank Orc NM. RDM and BLM Sleepga the rest. DD kill 4 Sheep first, then 2 Rams, then NM.

Mages will stand back to avoid Sheep Song AoE.

I traded in some Oberon's Sainti (PUP) for this, and I'll be popping the NMs first. I'll let you all know how this goes.

[Kleiner]

carefull. i heard the sheeps are only weak to light based sleep D:

[Max™]

Wow, so I guess once I get me a Dmg +6 Str +whatever Whatever + x% Kheten I can stop being sadface about my Assault curse?

Awesome.

[Yeager]

Ok, we wiped HARD.

I popped the mobs....got killed before BLM could get Sleepga off.

Orc NM was hitting our PLD for 200-250 a hit.

The SAM and WAR that were left were able to take down 2 Sheep before the rest of them woke up. BLM got owned trying to re-sleep them. RDM managed to Re-Sleep one of the Rams.

Once the other Ram and other Sheeps owned the BLM, they proceeded to own the SAM and WAR, then RDM, then PLD. Wipe

We're going to try again, this time PLD is going to /NIN for survivability, and I will come as BLM to help with Sleeping mobs.

Oh. My. Gawd.

Knowing that combination of stats is available is highly arousing.

Thanks, definitely want to hear more about the flash effect, since the person with the polearm hasn't explained anything about it.

As for the Rindomaru, to match a Hagun's gain from TP Bonus when weaponskilling at 100%, you'd need to get Weapon Skill Damage+12%, I believe. However, Rindomaru also has DMG+2 naturally over a Hagun, any game-math experts want to fill me in as to how much damage that effectively adds to the WS?

[Starr]

the ga/polearm pic is broke for me, someone else repost it please

[Yeager]

Ok, just finished wiping again in East Ronfaure [S] again.

We did a lot better this time, but....

Rams use Great Bleat, which greatly reduces total HP. This also hit our PLD, who died 3 hits later. We managed to kill all 4 Sheep and one of the Rams before we eventually wiped.

Then I noticed one last thing. The Sheep were respawning....

We're going to try again, this time zerg the Orc NM down first, then Rams, then Sheep. BLM and RDM will do their best to keep the others slept while we zerg down the Orc.

BTW, Orc seems to be a WAR from what we can tell thus far.

Not bad! Could be better, I'll probably try to do it again. If I can get DMG94 and STR+2 that's pretty much a free Thalassocrat +1, so I'll be trying again for that. But for now, not bad. Going to test out the Flash proc rate and potency now.

*EDIT* Effect seems to be pretty much as advertised. Low proc rate (5% I would assume), took several birds to even see it happen the first time. The Flash effect lasted about 7 seconds and I didn't get hit at all while it was up as far as I saw, but it was only Lesser Colibri, so who knows. I would assume it's basically just like the PLD spell. Highly potent blind that decays rapidly, lasting no more than 10 seconds max, and usually quite less.

[Yeager]

Ok, wiped AGAIN.

NM is definitely a WAR. He used Mighty Strikes at 25% health. This also prompts the other 4 Sheep and 2 Rams to also use Mighty Strikes.

Everything was under control until one of the Sheep got off a Sheep Song and slept us all. Wipe....

Did Grauberg

Got

Pup weap
+6 atk
+7 Flash
-4% pet dmg

Kept cause I wanna test flash and it was a bitch getting people together.

that's 4/4 PUP weapons in grauberg giving -% pet damage. I think it's obvious there IS a fairly easy pattern here.
