Abyssea Discussion

[Cairthenn]

I have an extra stone that I might not need tonight. I will get the first conflux when I enter with my group, and later come back to see if I have to repurchase it.

I'm fairly confident that it is a one time purchase. The prices of the others seem to be rather high otherwise. Not to mention that by the time you get the confluxes, there will be no point to them.

It's a one-time purchase but there is a small fee for teleporting as well.

My thoughts exactly.

I'll be doing a run shortly to go check if the Gigas NM is near where the holla crystal would be, as if the mea one seems to be near the mea crystal, others may follow same pattern. Im about 1/5~1/4 of the way to getting map so I can start marking it.

I saw something about the fee elsewhere, too. I'm sure it varies, but what's a rough range so far on the costs?

Edit: did you get my PM? I hit send but it wasn't in my sent box afterwards.

Went out for an hour-long run with our merry band of five last night.
We hit up La Theine again, with the goal of reaching the two other encampments. Along the way, our BST would Wide Scan to look for NPCs and any glowing mobs. Because we mostly targeted those, we ended up getting a ton of exp by the end of the hour.
One mob dropped a blue chest which worked with a high/low mechanism. As I'd been mostly used to the pressure locks, it took a bit of time for me to work it, but when I did we got 750 exp. I didn't look inside the chest before I started, so I'm not sure whether the game considered that amount of exp "small" or "large".
At one point we headed towards the Poroggos near the south-eastern camp, and we spotted a lone chest which we opened and... I'm sure you can guess what happened. Reraising was complicated by our proximity to the Poroggos, but we eventually got all of us up and healed up.
The last glowing Limule we fought was apparently a light element one. It casted Light elemental spells including Protect and Shell, as well as Banishga III. It also used a move called something Shed, which would remove all debuffs on him and stick them on everyone within the AoE. We killed it and it dropped some red token, which our bard currently has.
The very last thing we tried to do was complete the quest "Gift of Light", but we were unable to find the glowing spot in the eastern ravine closest to the starting area, and after figuring that it might be at the eastern-most ravine, our time ran out. If anyone has completed the quest, could you provide a specific location where we can find the glowing light?
I'm sorry I can't provide more specific names, I'm working mostly on memory here.

Got this off a NM In LatheineAbyssea

nice for cor and this other rabbit NM dropped Marvin's pelage? Think it's for some sorta synthesis. As well as a Key item "Scarlet abyssite of lenity".

[krizz]

Hellscream, do you know if everyone got the key item?

[Ave69]

Group of 12 just walked to crag area in Latheine, found the Rams... got pop item drop after roughly 7-8 kills, with little time left (4-5mins) we found the ??? and poped. HUGE ram resists mellee dmg somewhat... my 80blm/rdm on it was doing 1100 AM2s only, but seems to be best dmg. It only uses ram charge but consecutively to an upwards for 4-5times with knockback for about 200-400 dmg a hit. PLD/war recommended as well as SCs (didnt test),
got it down to 20% before 2 were left standing, depoped @ 14% after 1 final nuke attempt.

a ram is considered a type of bull right? so bullwhipe belt?.. maybe?

keep the info coming Abyssea is tight yo!

[Hellscream1]

Not everyone got it , we got some healing staff? I'll write the description down though "A variety of ancient abyssite that harbors arcana powers.Reduces the experience penalty of suffering by the bearer when Incapacitated by the Abyssean horde."

Just wondering wtf i can synthesis with those mantles hides

I got the same type of key item randomly after a mob died last night, only it's an Azure abyssite of lenity.

[krizz]

Ok, so I think it's safe to say the key items are random drops? Maybe based off of your glow you seem to accumulate?

[Ave69]

a ??? near the holla crag inside abys required several key items to pop somthing... maybe you need those abyssite key items to trade in for somthing. an npc at the campgrounds do show you your progress and there is 0/3 abyssite collection...

needs more work!

Yeah that could be It , sounds more like you might need to collect all 3 key items to get some sorta pop item for a NM? If any of you have realized once you get a CS with a NIN elvaan on Latheine's Maw , see some sorta orc wearing armor ... that could prolly be him or even some sorta tiers to pop higher level mobs.

We're just gonna wait on 60 hours pass and go In with an alliance with a tank pt/ DD pt / BLM pt that way we can have different options on how to kill the NM's.

Find it kinda useless if your going In for 30 mins =/ shit load of stuff to discover In there.
Some quests are mentioned with the stones , If anyone has figured those out?

[Psion]

Forgive me if I missed it, but there is an abyssite key item you can buy from the cruor vendor for 6500 points or so that "attunates your stay and lets you stay in abyssea for longer periods of time". Being a 72 pup who can't farm cruor very easily, I can't find out myself how potent it is, but I saw it in abyssea - tahrongi's vendor list.

I had fun though, but lost half an hours time when I aggrod a gnat, couldn't shake it off, and eventually kited it around a rock and nuked it to death with thunder III with blm bot and hermes sandals while it tried to reach me.

Got 218 exp and 48 cruor. =D

Also, the time you got stored up, that you didn't use remains after JP midnight. I still got 5 minutes left from last night, so I guess we need to test 24 hour mark and conquest tally, along with what the max time limit is.

Off topic but what happened to psion?>_>

[Psion]

Psion is basically retired, as I got bored after 7 years playing and wanted to replay the game. So I'm now Psi, the supreme galka pup of Phoenix! Rawr! (f ';.;')f

Been having a blast, started several months ago heh. Psion still exists, but I only use him for crafting now mainly.

[krizz]

I could've sworn I saw somewhere results for key items in the .dat mining. Am I mistaken?

Edit: Found them, but can't find anything pertaining to the abyssite temp key items.

However:
There are 20 Atmas listed in the .dats:
Atma of the Lion
Atma of the Stout Arm
Atma of the Twin Claw
Atma of Allure
Atma of Eternity
Atma of the Beyond
Atma of Stormbreath
Atma of Gales
Atma of Thrashing Tendrils
Atma of the Drifter
Atma of the Stronghold
Atma of the Harvester
Atma of Dunes
Atma of the Cosmos
Atma of the Siren Shadow
Atma of the Imapler
Atma of the Adamantine
Atma of Calamity
Atma of the Claw
Atma of Baleful Bones

There are also 6 traverser stones listed in the .dat files. Maybe 6 will be the eventual cap?

[Evane]

Veridical Conflux #01 is at at the entrance.
Veridical Conflux #02 is at (G-10)
Veridical Conflux #03 is at ( D-8 )
Veridical Conflux #04 is at ( H-8 )
Veridical Conflux #05 is at (G-6)
Veridical Conflux #06 is at (F-5)
Veridical Conflux #07 is at (K-7)

In abyssea-konschtat I found #08 at I/J-4.. close to it there was a martello (forgot the number) and Naji sitting looking like a ghost. Also at G-5 there was a base just like campaign with npcs fighting leeches, both were untargetable.

After killing few Clionid I got a message that my body is emitting a "feeble ruby light" the next mob gave me (no one else got it) a temp keyitem, Azure abyssite of lentiy. It basically reduce the amount of xp lost at by an abyssean mob. Didn't lose it after leaving.

Edit: Also found Guimauve, a yellow pudding NM at G-4.
Edit2: Any idea what these glowing Ephemeral Limules are for?

[Pooke]

The Marvin's Pelage from the rabbit is needed for the OAT sword, Antea. Need 10 of them too.
