Hunts and Evolith Discussion

[Phraust]

Anyone found any gear that was already in game that can be etched? Nothing I had on me seems to be compatible with Evolith.

I think you need to "Etch" in sockets first, then you can Evolith?

Edit: Nevermind, I read that wrong...

I got +10, and my mother got +8.

This, by far, is the most impressive thing in this thread

Goblin Wolfman and I was able to pick up the same hunt again.

So much for my pastime of hunting NMs that people have lost interest in or forgotten about.

Does everyone in the party gain scylds for killing the NM?

If in party works, in alliance might work, which might just mean random people joining to kill up a specific NM...like 18 people packed together to kill Goblin Wolfman.

If it's only party it might mean whoring out TH4 would be the easiest route to amass scyld. Worst case scenario is you'll have excessive competition for NMs just because people want scylds and not drop, since it looks like you're hunting specific, pre-existing NMs <_<

Everyone in the party/alliance gets credit for the kill. If 2 people pick the same NM, there is no reason for them not to team up, unless they are also looking to monopolize claim to get the NM's regular drop as well.

Light Songs : Enmity -2. yeah, so pro for my BRD I don't play. Anyway, Hunt 4 in West Saruta S, Tiffenotte is the mob

[Midnightjade]

Light Songs : Enmity -2.

I could have done with that last night. We 4-manned Armed Gears and I had to use Finale a bunch of times (even though you normally wouldn't). By the end it was really really really pissed off, lol.

[dantaro]

Is it confirmed once per game day between hunts? This could be a lot of fun if its like, 15 minutes between hunts

This whole system sounds like another inventory nightmare where elitists expect people to run around with battle-specific evolith'd gear.

I know i'm going to expect people to have their light elemental: MDB+1 gear.

I haven't seen a single piece of gear that would even be situationally better than what exists currently.

People are currently killing the absolute lowest tier of Evolith NMs, I don't know how anyone can expect something amazing to appear yet.

[BerenTebogo]

That's not true, I know some of those mobs (i.e. the tiffemone w/e) is the #4 hunt for the area.

It's not Zirnitra but it's not exactly spiny spipi either.

Goblin Wolfman again, same stats improved.

[Gtype954]

This gear is horrible an not worth eveling another damn craft, doing 2 dumb quests, getting 6 ppl together, getting evolith from NMs, etching the damn slots on the armor, then messing with buttons to hope it does not explode and all of this for -1 or -2% in some weak JA.

Not to mention, you cannot etch evolith onto r/ex gear or even onto badass gear like HQ elemental staves or Teaodor ring, or snow/flame ring etc.
So you can etch it on crappy items or the ridiculous new ebon items which are expensive as hell to craft for crap stats. The evolith are even weaker and won't make that armor any better.

Angel skin, Behemoth Leather, Ampihere Leather, ingots, etc to craft these armors.

On a side note, if r/ex cannot be etched evolith, then what are the aern weapons for.

EDIT: Vs elementals: acc +7, yea cause elementals take alot of damage from melee damage SE.... I'm not bitching though, i'm just telling it how it is. Glad I won't be sucked into this time sink synergy. Nothing is a must have.

[miokomioko]

Now, I'm curious if there's any kind of pattern/theme to what element/shape/size slots can appear on certain pieces of equipment... It's gonna' suck if your dream augments can't ever be fitted to your weapon of choice due to a difference in element/shape/size restrictions.

Yeah, Hunt 4 of a zone which takes 0 scyld balance to do. Thats the top tier of the bottom rung, don't kid yourself into thinking its a top level mob. I'm reserving judgment for when we start seeing people killing the Xarc/Beauc mobs
