Walk of Echoes

[urat]

So how much exp a run are you guys managing then? Curious to see if this would be a decent way to earn a bit of exp while getting some nice gear

[Uzor]

As a WHM, usually around 700-800 a run... It doesn't really seem to make a difference what I do, last run I did AoE stoneskin, buffs, cures, regens (including AoE's), erases, flashes, MB's etc.

The only way to get more would be to melee, but yeah, lolmelee WHM in LS events <.< I'll see if I can figure out a nice way to get more >.O

Everyone but support jobs seem to be getting 1k+

Eldelphia, I was a WHM/SCH in a DD party in Altanass's Slimy run. I did very normal WHM stuff the whole time. Tossed some cures, tossed some raises, kept up buffs. I did NOT Cure bomb constantly, nor did I personally raise the entire double alliance from a wipe. Just very standard run of the mill WHM stuff. Never even really emptied my MP.

Doing that got me 2k+ xp and into the top 8. I'm not sure what exact place I got, but I got to open a personal chest. So WHM can do ok in the ranking it seems. BRD's probably fucked though.

Gogo battle bards? yeaaaahhhh =D

Perhaps dd party is better, our Aegis plds barely got scratched by them. I did my best curing outside people too as I had so much extra mp. Don't think any of the whms got over 1000 for us.

Well I was doing constant /sam Sekkanoki Black Halo -> Hexa Strike spam. Might have had something to do with it.



















Nah just kidding I didn't melee.

Thanks for posting this, I've been in full rage mode... It helps but we're still screwed if we want brds?

The sac bards in my ls got over 1k xp. Anyways, everything except the coins are tradeable, so just make sure your ls gets the drops and deal with who gets what after. A lot of the drops seem aimed at backline jobs, so there's incentive.

Until I'm proven otherwise with some fat loots... I think that the best treasures are found in the public pool, and that the personal chests are just little perk items.

Anybody know what the EX coin bags are for yet?

They give coins like Salvage Alexandrite bags

Eldeplhia i agree i wasn't very happy with system for rewards', Support are the Unsung hereos in this and they kinda get screwed.

on that note won Slimes with 24 ppl easy shit, but had random Ppl sneak in and was able to get @ the pool which is one thing i hate about this event.

On alex last night was about 5-6 ppl camping WoE to get in with groups

[Cichy]

I'm curious, how much have you done WoE so far to get that many, and how many of those were wins?

Was 2 wins and I got 2 pouches, 1 run I got pouch of 2 different coins when I ranked 3rd, both were wins

People cant lot unless they contribute to the fight decently can they?

If not then - meh i think its ok - all though of cause hell of annoying for a LS with a DKP system or something.

But if people can lot without participating more than just a few hits or so then its total BS ;;

You can wait at the entrance and lot items that drop from enemies(coins, crab meat, etc).

ok thats bs lol... ;;

Who cares really since only the really good stuff comes out of the final chest.

Also, said before and saying again: Mages get screwed hard on this one. Even if you're chain-nuking you're unlikely to get a chance to lot. I got more exp sac pulling than I did on my other character.

[Exael]

To those who have won crabs so far, what strat have you been using? My group has tried several times now, but they aren't as spread out as slimes. and we just end up getting overwhelmed.... are you just having someone sac at the top of the stairs and pulling main mob like you do for slimes?

[Khiinroye]

Correct, we have 2 brds hymnus / grab the incoming crabs if we don't want them; if we're good to get another wave, they let them pass. If we need more and none are coming, we have a puller grab a group.

Also, when we won antlions, we still had at least one small one when we killed the third boss, but instantly got the win.

So I decided to give Walk of Echoes a shot for the first time (Just screwing around and seeing what it's like), so I grabbed two friends and went there, only to find that the area had a grand total of...3 people- us. For the record, by the time we had finished 2 runs of dying a bunch of times, we had 2 other random people show up, though!

I'm not sure if I just caught the area at a bad time, but having an endgame area completely empty only a week after patch day is...well, honestly, impressive. I'm actually really impressed they managed to make a event that drops decent stuff this unpopular.

But hey, at least it's good for skillups, right?
