The secret to killing AV is finally out.

12 million Cruror.

I hope people don't think they can use this outside of Abyssea

For those wanting amber light: use a magic WS. Stuff like Leaden Salute/True Flight give amber light on kill. Also chiming in on no ruby light from mandies this past week.

This is not true. We brought a RNG in to test exactly this last night. True Flight killshots did not give amber light.

magical WS is amber light, been tested and proven 10 pages back with blade Yu, primed rend etc

unless trueflight is bugged, i dont see why its not amber ;O

Probably for the same reason no WS kills gave us lights on mandies this week. I really wish people would say what they were killing and how recent it was instead of just "Yup I had that problem" or "This WS gave me amber".

**Kilik** · 2010-07-16 13:14

We tried trueflight, earth crusher, cyclone, aeolian edge. None of those gave amber.

We also tried some of the 'physical' elemental damage ws: tachi:koki, tachi:kagero, burning blade. Those didn't give amber.

We also tried Spirits Within and that didn't give amber light.

Edit: Done on Shadow Lizards

Starting with this page (63 for me) I went back to page 35 looking for this proof. Most of the talk is about amber light coming from chests.

Page 50 talks about a guy getting a single amber light in his entire run and it was from a chest.

Page 46 is you saying amber comes from magic ws.
Page 47 is you saying you proved amber comes from magic ws.
Page 38 has a post with a few screenshots of lights. One ss shows amber light coming from a chest.

If you have any ss of amber coming from a mob please post. If you use windowers log program, post from your log where you got amber light. On my LS's good run on Sunday, we were getting amber light and I thought it was from the BSTs pet getting killshot. When I went back and looked at each amber we got in my log, I noticed it was from a chest that was opened that I didn't notice during the chat log spam.

I want you to be right so it is easier to get amber, but I have yet to see any proof.

Quick question that I didn't see answered before. If you go in and grind XP on a bunch of mobs and get lots of TEs so lets say you have 200 minutes left. If you leave with that 200 minutes left when you enter again do you keep that 200 minutes or does it reset down to 120?

**Haborym** · 2010-07-16 13:32

You can store 120 max for when you enter again.

What's the name of the flying Amphiptere in, I believe, Konschtat? I saw him while flagging confluxes and have been looking to see if anyone had some information on him, but I can't find anything anywhere. I didn't run underneath it to try to aggro it. It scared me so I ran away.

Believe it was roaming near the Funguars, if I remember correctly.

From a run with a JP shout group that went for four hours, I observed that if a chest gave amber light, the opening message preceded the light by ~2 seconds. If a mob was killed with an elemental WS, the amber light preceded the "defeated the ___" message by ~4-9 seconds, depending on how much combat spam was occurring.

In the last two or so hours, a COR was consistently sniping killshots for amber light. There's more than what I've posted below, but they all pretty much point to the same thing. In each of these cases, no chest was successfully opened within a ~2-5 second window preceding the appearance of the amber light message.

Spoiler: show

Turul, no one has found a way to aggro him yet.

**Gwynplaine** · 2010-07-16 14:50

I dunno. Something is weird. Either there's more to it or some of the magic WS are just bugged and not giving light messages. Because I did exactly that and went for about ~7 Leaden Salute killshots and never saw one give an amber light. It's not just amber though I've noticed other types that gave no message as well.

I'm wondering if the amber light strength was just too low and not stacked up enough to even give a message. Magic WS are usually the least commonly used and least likely type of killshot. I would have thought it would have gotten somewhere though after several amber lights from chest but still nothing.

**Darriken** · 2010-07-16 15:08

Sorry if this has been previously posted, but is it proven that if an alliance has a dropped item in their treasure pool, could someone then enter abyssea, join that party, and be able to lot without visitant status?

**Malacite** · 2010-07-16 15:13

So lights don't stack up over time then but reset every time you leave Abyssea? I guess that makes sense, but it does suck that you can't just build up your lights and keep going at uber powa every time you enter.

And I've been saying that something is weird with ALL WS kills, not just magical, since we could not get ruby light on mandies both runs this week.
