Hunts and Evolith Discussion

[Karbuncle]

You manually sorted your gear to put that stuff at the bottom didn't you ⌐ ⌐

Also Sword can go up to 6 so maybe Polearm Can too? but then again probably not

[macross]

sword size7 has been found, and greataxe 8 I read. So probably are bigger sized ones than 6 for all diamonds. I've got crappy luck though, don't feel like killing another 16 sugaars to see if anything bigger.

Manual sort no lol. I take stuff in and out of my satchel quite often, it's just how it happened to be. Stand around on sam with concordia and hachibody equipped in town all the time cause concordia looks so nifty. Those evoliths are all polearm crit + 1-2% hehe. Was keeping them all so I would have a collection. Maybe the game would feel sorry for me for having so many low ones. Sadly they aren't rare or you could try and oldschool force non repeat ones.

[Spira]

is 10 the highest acc you can get? i've only gotten up to 10 and im not trying for more..

[Hadriel]

I'd like the opinion of you guys that have gotten into the fomor weapons, I synthed my Concordia and etched it with size 8/8/4, perfect being 8/8/5. Question is, should I go for the perfect or just stick with what I have?

You'll notice I did fire on the last etch, does anyone know how much difference there is between size 4 and 5 on the physical blue magic: attack evoliths? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I etched the whole thong solo and the last one was a bitch so I'm not looking forward to redoing it if that's the concensus.

Edit: sorry for the massive pic, can't crop on my iPhone.

[macross]

I think that 4 and 5 are the same acc+2 so you should be okay. Not 100% sure though. I know my +blue acc materia was size5.

+10 acc is what a few others have gotten. But no one has kept trying for higher/reported higher. Took me 8-9 tries to get a +10, don't feel like trying more at this point either hehe.

[Serra]

Macross.. you're gonna hate me.. Second time camping Sugaar, first time killing him got me this:

Size 8 'll probably be +5, but I'm happy enough with this. Best I've gotten on the Acc is +8, so gonna be spending more time camping there now..

[macross]

oh sweet, so it does exist ahaha. Well gives me a reason to keep killing it. Maybe you will find one bigger than +10 from camping it.

Might camp some firedance mamoolja first though, only got a size4 +3crit on sword. Gotta try for a size7 or 8 at least.

[Hegarty]

I have seen 2 Rosenbergs today with Polearm:WS Accuracy+10, what else could a Rosenberg hold?

[macross]

What the heck is a rosenberg? You mean rosenbogen bow? Damn would be hot if you etch that and stick pole acc on it for sam lol. Gotta try that later.
Sucks I tossed my spare +8 too;;

Yes I meant that and yes you can, I have seen two on two different people today, does it mean you can put all Weapon WSxx level 8 evoliths on it?

[macross]

Bow must be lightning too so it fits. Didnt someone say you could etch gendawa too? no rosenbogen for sale here, don't think anyone has farmed leshonki bulbs for a long time.

[Hegarty]

They are both lightning 6 slots

Soooo... if someone can help me out with this Q that would rock.

I haven't logged in for months, and was wondering..

The weapons can be etched, gear can be etched and stats added correct?

So that new Ebur (etc.) gear that was added... Can that also recieve extra stats? I have yet to see any screenshots of the new gear with added stats. They seem pretty meh if you cant add extra stats to them.

thanks,

Mr. Darkrift

Certain weapons can be etched and equipped with Evoliths that match the slots they possess. The new gear sets and the old gear that can be etched are similar but vary in the amount of slots available. Old gear has fixed slots, new gear can be influenced by color.

Ebon = dark related element slots
Furia = light related element slots
Ebur = combination of dark/light element slots

Example: Old Gear

Shigeto Bow
(Archery) All Races
DMG: 75 Delay: 600 Ranged Attack +15
SAM: Ranged Accuracy +7
Lv. 71 RNG / SAM

This item possesses a diamond slot with a lvl 7 cap and by viewing the list on the wiki, can be equipped with an evolith that grants an Archery TP Bonus on weaponskills.

Example 2: New Gear

Ebon hat
[Head] All Races
DEF: 19 MP +9 INT +1
Magic Atk. Bonus +2 Enmity -2
Lv. 71 BLM / SCH

Three slots, Triangle, Triangle, Empty Triangle. You have the ability to equip 2-3 evoliths on most of the new gear.

Evoliths come from beating an NM and vary in strength but remain constant in what they drop. Becut in Beau (S) for example drops Gaxe WS: TP Bonus which can vary from 2-20%.

Diamond Slot: TP Bonuses or Weaponskill-related effects.
Double Circle: 2hour modification
Open Triangle: Magic modification
Solid Triangle: Vs Monster: Effect
Downward Triangle: Weaponskill-related effects.

Now if all that was vs gears I could see that being very useful, but birds....

[ronin sparthos]

Im amazed at your luck on the aptants for that entire set, lol.

[Kairos]

Im amazed at your luck on the aptants for that entire set, lol.

Exactly! I been trying to get ishis aptant for the body and all i have to show for it is other aptants i don't need.

[Shamaya]

I got all my aptants in maybe 4 days of grinding ^^ But I guess I was playing a lot at the time. It seems our shredder looks a bit more like a holy man now.

[Khajit]

Holy man?
