I'm jelly.

Well, now we know what the hell the unique augment is on Black Mantles. Coeurl Mantles are still unknown.

**NynJa** · 2011-03-31 07:11

Biggest problem with that theres a once/day restriction as well, like the other plate quest. Pretty stupid since you cant use it for fame at that point, unless they're afraid of people spamming for 2.2k black mantles?

I think it has always been that way (unlike Dance shoes Q.Q). They probably carried it over from the other picture quest in Konschtat. You can spam Coeurl Mantles in La Theine as fast as you can get Lambent scales, and they're worth 2k each or whatever. I've done the quest a few dozen times helping friends with Pixie trials and not seen a second-slot augment though.

Do you have to zone after doing the quest once (scales?) or can you farm up scales and spam trades?

No zoning required at all. I turned in 48 scales in a row the last time I helped someone finish their Cure potency staff.

**NynJa** · 2011-03-31 12:24

Maybe SE overlooked that Naji's plate has a once/day requirement, or they made the NTE augment higher chanced? I'd doubt that tho...

going to the official SE boards to post about this, this is clearly an expedition of no return.

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-03-31 12:28

I was probably just unlucky in not getting an augment. I've probably done the quest only 3 dozen times. I did the Dance Shoes quest well over 200 times before getting my Waltz +4% shoes, and the Waltz+% augment rate came out to around 10%. Doing it 3 dozen times and not getting an augment is within possibility. I went a few rl days (post-patch) without getting a single Waltz augment, doing the quest about a dozen times a day.

I've turned in about 15 pictures to Naji without getting a Ninja Tool Expertise augment. 1 full soultrapper and I have 7 pictures left on my current one, but I probably got some resists. Now that I know it's Ninja Tool Expertise, I think I can stop trying. xD I was worried it would be Waltz Recast Timer -4 or something.

**NynJa** · 2011-03-31 12:46

10% on Sterline Specimen for Waltz potency is generous, atleast to me. I think I did that quest a good 40x before it was patched, and I didnt get any waltz

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-03-31 12:56

From the ones I recorded (all post-patch), I got an ~8% Waltz augment rate. 8/104 isn't very decisive though. I recorded 86 of those relative to moon phase and no correlations were exactly jumping out at me.

23/86 - Acc [1;5]
15/86 - MP[1;6]
19/86 - Light[5;9] (I never got an 8 )
29/86 - HP[1;6] (I didn't record a 5, but I think I've gotten one)
7/86 - Waltz[1;4]

I'm just hoping no one ever reports a 5% Waltz potency one. I'll freaking kill them. Considering how rare high values of Acc/HP/MP were though and how rare it is to see Waltz at all, there could be higher values of Waltz that people have simply never reported. I won't be the one to find it.

**NynJa** · 2011-03-31 13:11

Maybe SE, and I'll be giving them the benefit of doubt over foresight, modified waltz aug rate when they modified quest delay.

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-03-31 14:51

They could have, or I could have gotten even more lucky than I realize. My confidence interval on my 8% rate is pretty much gigantic.

I also spammed it before the patch, when I thought the max was 2% potency. It was so much faster in terms of quests/hour then that I have no real way to guess how many times I did it though. I know I filled my inventory up at least once with Dance Shoes.

Subtle Blow goes up to 5, Crit rate goes up to 3. I have seen only one with both on it, and it wasn't mine ; ;

**Yugl** · 2011-04-02 16:04

Would you use that or Asagaya for DRG?

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-04-02 21:04

Inside Abyssea, Crit+3 would definitely beat Attack+8, I'd think.

Got lucky the other day

Holyshit.

**Fievel** · 2011-04-03 21:58

Pretty nice body o.o

**Shenrien** · 2011-04-03 23:15

I really hate you! ; ; I'm like 0/150+ on that body, best I got is Cure potency +11
