Won't make up for losing 5% haste.

...wut. Cause haste helps WSing now?

You macro it in for Asuran, for not only a high accuracy amount, but the potential to go up a damage tier for the WS on top of Conserve TP.

I have no idea why the hell Haste came up in that when you yourself called them weapon skill hachimaki

I don't see how conserve tp can be topped by any conceivable headpiece for weaponskilling. It has the potential for taking an entire hit off any x hit build.

[Auburn]

I'm trying to think of conceivable reason to use a melee weapon skill hachimaki and I just can't think of anything. Like maybe if your acc is terrible during a mutihit WS? Like seriously SE wasn't too bright when they introduced those.

The ranged ones seem pretty awesome for barrage.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that a 5% chance of getting a bit extra tp return is worth giving up something like gnadbhod's helm, varangian helm, hecatomb cap, etc. Many times it also doesn't give you a full hits worth of tp back.

Except for, you know, GK SAM, who is then putting on something with acc and a bit of att to do a WS that doesn't actually need either.

However, this does allow some people do redo their MKD hats if they wanted to, as they would have at least a workable high-acc alternative head piece

Bugards have a 5% Experience Points bonus outside, it is possible they have a 5% Experience Points bonus inside as well. That would make their cap 630

Thought I'd post an update quest-wise on this zone. Looking at various comments and posts on here, this seemed like a tough zone to build fame in since the only known repeatable quest you could do was refueling marshmallows.

However, unlike the other two zones, the Refuel and Replenish quest is actually a pre-req for 4 more (Fame 1) quests. Ayame will not give you her next quest until you complete Refuel and Replenish (the real one, not 'Of Malnourished Martellos').

On Rose on the Heath, Ayame will send you to deliver linkpearls to 3 NPCs. One in each camp. Once you deliver a linkpearl to the NPC, the corresponding Fame 1 quest at that camp will be open for you.

To summarize, this is the quest line.

Hope Blooms on the Battlefield > Of Malnourished Martellos > Refuel and Replenish (Konschtat) > Rose on the Heath > Shady Business Redux(After Argus has linkpearl) = The Soul of the Matter (After Helga has linkpearl) = Full-of-Himself Alchemist(After Rashid has received his pearl).

Believe it or not, I was able to accept all 7 of these quests with Level 1 Fame. Though, only 6 of these are counted as quests @ Ayame since Refuel and Replenish doesn't count towards the 'complete all quests' goal.

All 3 of the quests unlocked at camps seem repeatable.

Shady Business Redux = 4 Limule Pincers, no zoning required
Full-of-Himself Alchemist = 3 Purple Polypore (I call em PPP for short), no zoning required
The Soul of the Matter = Take a good picture of an NM and turn it in.

The Soul of the Matter is the only quirky one. You cannot immediately repeat it. Even upon zoning out, I was not able to repeat it. I was, however, able to trade in another picture when the day changed. I found this strange, but I did test it thoroughly and it does indeed work. I guess they needed to put a limit on this quest because it's relatively easy and gives damn good cruor.

I'm at level 3 fame as of this post and I aim to be capped fame tonight as well as to have all Kon quests completed. I'll post more info then.

On topic with the Weapon Skill Headbands, besides the already mentinoed uses... they are the missing +skill to reach the new WS for B Skill rating jobs @lvl80 cap, as some of them can't reach them even with sea torque + 8/8 kill merits. This isn't applies to all, since there's things like Suppa/Busha/Abyssal ring, but that only covers very few skills.

Yes, I specifically mentioned WS. Thus I figured it was implied that they'd be ok for the odd WS. The thing is though the MKD helm will probably be just as good if not better for most jobs. If you really need the MKD hat on other jobs I guess these are good to have.

My main point is. Why are these so hard to get when they are extremely situational to almost totally useless? For the difficulty to get them you think SE could have split the difference and put like 4-5% haste, 6 acc, and 5 skill. It's exceedingly easy to get a W.Turban and no one would be the least upset if SE added a better option now. Conserve TP is just a stat they must think is making a big difference like Magic Crit Bonus when in reality it's pointless for most jobs. Also I was talking about the melee ones not the ranged attack ones those could definitely be handy in certain situations.

The Dnc thing potentially could be worth it for macroing I guess.

For Footwork MNK TP:

Ocelot Gloves(3%) BB(12%) Haidate(5%) Poise Shoes(5%) = 25% Haste.

Throw on Hachimaki and Faith Torque and you're up 2 base damage and alot of acc.

Maintenance time! So time for a quest update. I've capped fame at level 6 and been able to accept every quest in Konschtat. Already gave info on the first six in a post above this page so will focus on the last four.

'The Walking Wounded' - Quest Giver: Rashid @ Camp Courage
-Objective is simply to supply each of the 5 Resistance forces NPCs surrounding that camp with a Soothing Potion. Soothing Potion is obtained by completing Full-of-Himself-Alchemist. You get 2 Soothing Potions for every 3 PPP, so to complete the quest you must trade at least 9 PPP.
-Completing Full-of-Himself-Alchemist may be a pre-req, but I'm not sure since I had it done. Either way, you DO need to repeat that quest for this in order to receive the 5 Soothing Potions needed.
-Fame 4 Required
-Repeatable without zoning or waiting until next game day.
-First completion awarded me with an Evolith with 'Lightning Weather: Stun+1'. Another char got something like 'Light Weather: Lowers defense' or something. I'm unable to check at the moment. Repeats awarded 600 cruor each.

'Secret Agent Man' - Quest Giver: Helga @ Camp Vigilance
-Travel to I-6 near Marshmallow 8(near conflux 8) and talk to Naji. Then talk to Helga again. Easy.
-Fame 6 required
-Seems one-time only.
-Reward is an evolith. Mine had Dark-aligned Skillchain accuracy +2
-Unlocks 'Playing Paparazzi'

'Playing Paparazzi' - Quest Giver: Naji
-Objective is to take a picture he's happy with. I don't have much info on this one. He did not accept the Bakka plate I had taken and said "my dear departed grandma coulda got me intel on a piddling peon like this". I had read this quest's description in the dats and figured I'd save a Kukulkan plate to try for it and that did the trick for me. Thus, I know for sure a good Kukulkan picture does the trick. I am unsure if others would suffice. It just made sense to me to try Kukulkan due to clues given in the previous quest.
-Reward was Azure Abyssite of Merit.
-Did not check if it was repeatable, but I doubt it considering there's already a repeatable pic quest that gives cruor. This one gave me an abyssite upon completion.
-'Secret Agent Man' is a pre-req, and thus you need Fame 6.

'Addled Mind, Undying Dreams' - Quest Giver: Silver Owl @ Camp Hope.
-Unsure of fame pre-req for this one since I did not check when I was at level 4 fame. I was able to accept it at level 5 fame, so you need at least 4 if not 5.
-This is the only one I have been unable to complete thus far. He wants me to get a pinch of moist Dangruf sulfur off a Sturdy Pyxies. Thus, I assume I need to kill one of the mimics scattered around the zone. I haven't had the chance to do this yet. If anyone in Sylph wants to help me find out, I'd welcome the help ;o

Do Shadow Lizard give amber lamps?

I spent 24 hours of killing them over the weekend and never saw a single amber light produced from a magic weapon skill.

Seconded. My LS did 3-4 runs on Lizards and the only amber lights we ever got were from red chests.

[Goldencarnage]

So after main. I decided to check for Gangly Geen and he wasn't up again...... Anyone else's server never seen Gangly Geen yet too? I've checked on this NM multiple times and have yet to see it or anyone with the helm. Also servers with the NM how did you get it to pop? Thanks.

Try farming saplings on the west side.

Havent seen it up on Odin every time ive been there. Tried killing a few saplings around his reported pop area with our last remaining time but didnt have any luck.

Unrelated but not sure if this second drop has been reported from the T2 VNM here. Had 1 blue !! during the fight, not 100% sure what caused it, possibly Dancing Edge.

Spoiler: show

I saw it in the first week of the update on Asura...someone is probably killing it.
