You should lay off the hyperboles lol. I doubt you had the 3rd or 4th penitence +1 in existence, as even i had it before you and not only did i start WoE quite late, but im also not a career DRK. I imagine alot of career DRKs rushed to complete it alot earlier, they probably just chose not to post on BG lol.
Well I'll be damned. Any idea of their drops? The wiki page for #4 looks reasonably complete for them, but #6 only lists one item.
1-6 are open on Bismarck as well. The drops for 4 and 6 are buried somewhere in this thread, I'm too lazy to search for them myself.
4 is nice for killing leeches, lots of 400-600+ aoe, no small mobs to fight off to the side.
5 is easy with af3+2 enhanced scherzo; without it, hurricane breath can be killer on the wyverns. The boss isn't all that, and can be kited if the dds die anyways.
6 can suck.
#7 Open on Asura~
Had 3 Vates Cape's drop in #4 yesterday. I would agree with khiinroye that #4 is good for killing leechs unless its a pld. Every time we do WoE there is this excal/aegis pld that follows us everywhere. He walked in with 2 khims left and still placed lol. Also wiki has Frayed Pouch of Decay as the only pouch to drop, but we got a 4 pouch drop in there: Decay, Advancement, and 2 Glory.
Apparently Big Yilb pops something? babies? called "Varanus", described as "Black/Red floating things"
im not there, listening to LS chatter..
Casted Meteor/Comet "15 times back to back"... lol >.>
Says "Casted holy on the varanus and it disappeared"
So yah, Wierd conflux, sorry i don't have any more pertinent info.
Last bit of Info, Apparently the chest contained 1 of Every pouch and a bunch of money item synth mats (useless stuff like Durium Ore/Orich Ore)
No word on personal chests, no Armors in main pool.
Edit; Conduit Shoes dropped.
I got a text from a LS mate who was in WoE shortly after I posted before about 7 opening. Apparently it did so sometime between yesterday when I was last there and this morning.
Going to see if I can talk the ls into going in there tonight, if so I'll provide screen shots of the mobs/drops.
And you should lay off the unnecessary cynicism.
How could you doubt it when you have no idea. I'm going by what's known, not guesses. There was only 2 or 3 100% known accounted for Penitence+1 when I posted about mine.
Yes you had it before me, by about 2-3 days. And 1-2 JPN had it before you. If you want to assume multiple other people had it before that, with literally zero info on any NA and/or JPN board....not just BG, but no info, period, ok. It makes no sense but go for it.
WoE ain't been vacant "90% of the time" on our server in a long, long time. Groups have been low man farming and clearing zones pretty much 24/7. It's pretty obvious from FFXIAH.com that people do WoE daily.
Speaking of FFXIAH.com, there is WoE drops I put in there as the 1st or 2nd one in existence on our server, 4+ months ago. I got pics from July 3rd of me getting the 1st Heliodor on our server, from a run I led. Why? Because I was leading WoE runs back when nobody knew what the hell they were doing. I'm not bragging, this is just the reality of the situation. Wayward and Karasu are literally the only two LSs that came into the zone already knowing what to do, 4-5 months ago. Anyone else that zoned in I had to explain everything to.
I'm not saying it's a well designed zone. It's not, it's pretty retarded. But SE obviously intended groups of strangers to work together in this zone....for better or worse that's what WoE is. Sitting here raging over "outsiders leeching in your zone" is fucking silly. I doubt SE will change the entire format of the zone because people can't play nice with each other. One thing I'd like to see changed is Coins, they should be tradable. It's painful to toss a Pouch of coins when the guy that needs them is right there.
SE just needs to change it all to a point/badge system if they want people to work together. It's freaking retarded to just reward only a percentage of participating players. It's very hard to measure how much someone contributes in a fair manner.
I also don't believe they intended to allow people to join a run 5 minutes before the final boss is killed and then lot the entire treasure pool, but it's certainly allowable with the current rules. The overall format needs a change because that -has- happened to me before, and I'm sure it's happened to others and will happen again in the future.
