Abyssea Discussion

[urat]

Or give us atmas and optional buffs straight up to buff pets up, I know some pups and drgs I have had on runs were a bit disgruntled their pets couldn't get all the buffs to stand up to the beatings some of these NMs dish out

[Atoreis]

I don't think anyone has been there for the full duration, but I know at least 8 people that started there are back in there now. I'm waiting to get my spot back >8D

My personal record is 21h and 776k exp (blm 64->80 and 15 merits)

[Not Kuno]

Damn I was hoping my sweet +20 stats would effect my pet. D:

[Onorgul]

I've definitely seen Blade: To and Blade: Chi miss. Blade: Yu has not missed for me yet...

What a stupid system.

Since I was actually testing this in Abyssea last night... Blade: To is considered a physical weaponskill, hell if I know why, so it produces ruby light. Blade: Yu is pure magic, though, and consistently gave amber light. Does this make any sense? Nope.

[Byrthnoth]

Kill things with Blade: Ei, become my hero.

[Wortie]

I haven't seen this mentioned, so please forgive if it's been mentioned.

Do the abyssea VNMs follow the same "rules" as the normal ones?
We got a shadow ruminator + title (got mitts drop), not sure if this matters in Abyssea or not.

Pretty sure from what we've seen that there are no dud T3s in Abyssea since each zone only has 1 T2 and 1 T3.

The upgrade rate seems to be about the same as outside Abyssea. No breaks even though the zone is under a time limit.

Every time I've done Ruminator there has been a shadow, but hands were not 100%.

OK, at least with Blade: Ei I'm positive it's 100% magic. I've tried to kill with it but lol. I honestly consider it one of the worst WS in the game. I think at 300% with some random hodgepodge of STR/DEX/INT gear, it did 70 dmg on a Pachypodium.

[Niiro]

Easiest way to confirm if a 1h WS is purely magic is whether or not it does an off-hand hit.

For 2h ones I guess testing whether SA does anything would work.

It's also further complicated because we don't know for sure if lights given from WS kills are required to be physical or if it's simply the nature of being a WS that determines the light.

Similar to how physical blue magic counts as azure light, the damage is physical but by nature it's a spell.

[AzazaelFenrir]

pretty sure this was already stated somewhere in the thread, but once you get something like the lunar abyssite of merit, how do you activate it?

[Xerlic]

Is there some correlation between the job of whoever pulls an NM and what WS/spell will trigger "!!"?

[Xanthe]

If you have any Atma key items, talk to the Atma Infusionist. You pay 100 cruor and pick one Atma that will last for the duration of your time in the zone.

[Neosutra]

Is there a list of what gives Atma? (Or even a compiled list of what gives each abyssite by zone >.>).

the lunar abyssite is not "of" anything

spira's maps in op of each zone's thread

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Abyssea Scroll down for the Abyssite list, it's 100% accurate afaik.

[Fou-Lu]

i use this for atma

for abyssite listing can also use BG-wiki

Ivory = white = mission / cruor prospector
Azure = blue = Bastok zones
Scarlet = red = Sandy zones
Viridian = green = windust zones

I've been trying to keep it fairly accurate; but i've seen mixed reports (and not many screenshots) for some of them.

--Notes on the matter--
la theine : seems widely accepted except the sojourn that is unknown
Konschtat : lenity from Ephemeral Limule confirmed but unconfirmed rumor of normal limule/clionids and Ephemeral clionids
Tahrongi : avarice from Ephemeral Clionid and rumor of Quetzalli :: Destiny from Ephemeral Limule and rumor of Cuelebre :: Merit from Bhumi, Manananggal, and Mictlantecuhtli

[Neosutra]

Do the merit's stack, or just work in that zone (could probably test myself since I have tahrongi merit).
