Random Question Thread XII: Don't Believe Advanced's Lies

[Not Kuno]

There's so much wrong and assumed info here.

First of all, there's no proof at all that you need more kills to up the frequency once it's at its top tier. We always cap Azure up to 6 guesses then switch to Pearl > Ruby kills. Even after doing Ruby kills for 5 hours, we get what seems to be an equal amount of blue and red chests. .

I've had the exact opposite happen tons of times. People get lazy and stop going for azure and we lose tons of time because we just get red and gold boxes. The blues just completely refuse to appear anymore, until we start getting blue kills once more.

I need to do Koki on birds for SAM GKT. Where is the best place for EP birds/bats? (Dont want to deal with feather tickle)

I did mine in Caedarva, between Nash and Azouph staging point, on Marsh Murres.

Same here. I've never had it pay off to get complacent with Azure, but once you've built up to 150 minutes of Visitant, it doesn't hurt to slack on it for an hour or so.

Its looking like tiers are 0~5, 6~10, 11~20 and 21~30 for lights from my experience. I find it helps to keep track of light outright. We always get the top tier chests dropping rate around the 30 azure lights mark.

After 30 azure alternate in a rotation between 5~10 pearl then 5 or so azure. After an hour of it the group gets into the groove and goes on autopilot.

Azure light: No wsing after 35%, swap targets at 15%, let mages killshot.

Pearl: Mages nuke at start, no WSing after 30%, melee kill shot

Easy as pie. For your first run Id recommend mandies, they're the easiest to deal with.

Once you get into it and have practice start getting the group it pull the mandies alternating between 2 spots to keep the chest worker out of AoE range, makes the job a billion times easier.

Once you're confident Id suggest bats as a next target. Experience wise my group has found bats put out TEs better, but they're a bit trickier to pull due to links.

Finally if you feel confident in your groups, try out bog buddies, I have found them exceptionally squishy to magic, so use a heavy magic based group on them. Skillchains do wonders as well.


Now for my question:

Whats a good recommended spot to grind my npc from level 65 to 70 for max exp, Im looking at just going with a group of 2 other 75+ers and having a 3 PC + 3 npc party and doing 2-3 runs of 5 charges. Preferably something semi squishy without AoE so we dont need to focus on healing NPCs.

Does the camouflage effect of -25 enmity effect WS or barrage?

No. If you shoot your Barrage with Camouflage up, it wears off. Same with WS.

Could try south of the tele crystal in Meriphataud Mountains (S). I was able to find birds and cockatrices there.

As hellish as this zone can be, Den of Rancor was actually really nice for this trial. There are tons of bats everywhere. However, they often come in 2-3, so it might be better with a duo partner.

Ya, I knew it wore off 100%, I just did not know if the -25emnity "proc'd" on the WS or not.

Yes. It was in that big update in June. Now you can just access it. Go to Port Jueno.

there is no additional download/update for the addon as it is not an expansion.
