Relic Augments

[HarleyM]

Has anyone been able to test if the +damage affects weapon rank? Curious because whatever the result seems to be will likely be the same as for the new magian weapons. The most likely candidate at this point for testing seems to be amano users, as they start with an 89 base, so finishing one of the quests would make it testable.

88. But yes I'm very interested in this as well. I really hope the augmented DMG rating counts towards weapon rank, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't since I think weapons like Blau use the lower DMG rating (without latent) for weapon rank.

True, but weapons like Destroyers use the higher damage rating after the weapon is "broken". I'd be very surprised if the extra damage doesn't count towards fSTR.

PS. Relic owners with upgraded weapons might want to verify that they still see 3x procs. I could see SE breaking hidden effects accidentally.

Triple proc still worked during first upgrade quest and works now during the second. At least on my kikoku :]

Made a party of 3 apoc DRKs, 1 voker, brd + rdm went to exp on Qutrubs, Bones, Jnun.. Decent exp and nice WS points.. I'm really not into killing undead solo and resting..Qutrub have a lot of hp so u get a WS or 2 every fight.

Anybody other then Cor have Aquans as target mob. its Tizona's second requirement and I hope I dont run into the same problem.

[NynJa]

Aquans:

Pyrric Kleos (forget weapon name) tier 2
Excali tier 1
Tizona tier 2
King's Justice tier 1 (forget name again)
Apoc tier 2
Kikoku tier 2 (see a couple posts above, Rhae, his worked)
lolClaustrum tier 1
more

seems they work fine, just Death Penalty is bugged.

[jimbobsonofgod]

awesome.

I remember someone posting about Knights of Round before.

^This

While it is a fuckload of WS's and I still have 1300 to go for just the first stage. I'd rather have this that I can do solo than have to go through the 6 hoops you have to for normal Magian weapons with a party at the least for some of the shit. That said, I still expect a backlash on the 3rd upgrade for relics. It's just so unlike them not to pull a Mythic quest on this.

I expect SE that the last and most usefully upgrade to mythic/relic will be to trade in the relic/mythic counterpart weapon fuseing them alltogether! I really can see them pulling this shit off seriously...

1100 WS still to go, my brain is getting dead slowly.

[Wulfgang]

I likely missed it, but what was the mob family of Apoc's second trial (1500 kill shots)? Any other mob family besides Undead for Tier 1 and I could run a script and get 1500 while I sleep, but alas.

[Yugl]

The magian moogle specifies that he only has the power to enhance weapons. Aegis/Ghorn are not weapons.

THEN WHAT IS NEO'S SHIELD DOIN WHEN IT BASHES SOMETHING?!

[Bishop1]

7 years into a game you would think SE could come up with a better quest besides WS the same family 1500 times. Back in the day the Maat fight was cool they couldn't come up with some 1 on 1 stuff?

[NynJa]

Its long and tedious, yes...and the tier2 relic weapon paths are fucking annoying (WS killshot?), but I'm sure most people would prefer this to a bullshit low drop fetch quest whos entire basis of completion is luck. I'll take constant progress (assault pt items) over luckdrop any day (salvage drop rates).

I'm just saying why doesn't SE create something skillful.. All these stupid quest just require time.. It's not even fun and probably makes more people quit than anything..

Sorry for the in between reading, was in the middle of synergy stuff and too lazy to crop/paste just the SGM chat.

Its taken some people over a year to complete their weapons. For most people being that dedicated to something wont be much of an issue to dedicate a couple of weeks to make improvements on said weapons.

You havent looked at the Ebisu Rod quest, have you? I'm not talking about botting it, or using Meatballs/Minnows, or merely buying the fish on the AH. I'm talking about the actual way to do it:

Fish up a BUNCH of Cave Cherax, turn em in to Zaldon and hope you get some Dwarf Pugils (about 1/4 rate). Depending where you fish, you'll get about 8-12 Cherax per hour. Then take those Dwarf Pugils and fish in Lufaise, and spend a bunch of time hitting /fish. Occasionally you'll get a Lik bite, most of the time it'll break your line or your rod, and take the bait with it.

But fortunately, thats not the worse one. Gugrusaurus bait requires Sea Zombies, which can only be fished up on the ferry when pirates attack. Same rate from Zaldon (25%).

Theres more!

Then, once you get all these Lik's and Gugrusaurus's, you have to turn THEM in to Zaldon and hope you find the rare/ex item in them for the rod. Some people have made reports of going 0/300+ on the rare/ex items. I myself am at the following:
Opal Silk: 1/141 and 1/101 (myself and my mule)
Saber Shoot: 0/268

Hows that for shitty quests that want to make you kill yourself.

[Beave]

GM: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Fiendishone: not unless you have an extra kclub around you aren't using

GM: Sadly, I dual wield both of mine.
