Abyssea - Attohwa Discussion

[Fievel]

Spend 2 hours to look for this stupid Miasma stream... I would say "Screw this... I don't f*****g care with my exp being reduce so much!" -.-;

You know you can say the word fucking, right?

[Gwynplaine]

Hanyoko asked if I could post the dialogue for the fame NPC so here they are:

Spoiler: show

You call yourself ≺Player Name≻?≺Prompt≻
Well, I've never heard of you.≺Prompt≻
But don't be discouraged. Just keep working at it, and you'll make a name for yourself eventually.≺Prompt≻

≺Player Name≻, eh? Hmm... That name is vaguely familiar. But I'm afraid few in the chasm have heard of you.≺Prompt≻
If you keep doing whatever you're doing, I'm sure more of the survivors will come to seek your help. Good luck.≺Prompt≻

Oh, so you're ≺Player Name≻...
Yes, I heard some of the people here in camp talking about you.≺Prompt≻
It seems you've built up a reputation.
Keep up the good work, and greatness surely lies in your future.≺Prompt≻

Hello, ≺Player Name≻! I hear your name mentioned quite often these days.
You've done well, my friend. Keep at it.≺Prompt≻

Hello, ≺Player Name≻! A good deal of people here in camp know about you!≺Prompt≻
And they all say you're quite the do-gooder! Thank you for helping us in these dark days. Keep up the good work!≺Prompt≻

≺Player Name≻! To all of us here, your name is synonymous with courage and sacrifice!
Not a day goes by without hearing of your saintlike service.≺Prompt≻
I speak for all of us when I express my sincerest appreciation for your generosity.
Come what may, for the rest of our days we shall never forget you, the Angel of Attohwa!≺Prompt≻

Fame dialogs are all updated on wiki website

Btw, while I ran around for the freaking miasma, I saw JPN exp'ing on

Black Mandy, do AOE sleep
Gnat, do AOE to wipe
Crawlers, cocoon and high HP
Cat, not sure on this, but something similar to throat stab ?!
Wolf, AOE para
Murex

Good luck and have fun !!

Giants seem lowmannable at all? Like say duo/trio making use of terrain exploits, or a 6-8 person group?

Not sure if I'm late to the party with this answer but I solo'd Ironclad Cleaver on SCH85/RDM42. Trivial solo really. Pinned him to the rock just west of Conflux #00 (it has another rock right next to it and you can just walk between them; just between the two rocks is the pinning point). He's slow as hell and there's really no danger, it's just a matter of damaging it and using your mp efficiently. It looked to me like he was extremely strong to every element except thunder, thunder did just fine on him though. 150-175 helixes, bio2, and poison stuck well enough. With some nukes thrown in as well, took about 35 minutes, and I'm sure I could shave at least 5 minutes off that. Dropped MNK ammo, DNC feet, and DRG cape.

Also managed a solo of Kampe (scorpion NM) at the same pinning spot, but that's a bit dicier as his paralyze and bind can really screw you.

Someone thought that it's a great idea to bring the iron giant in Attowha to conflux #01 to mpk people before they even get visitant status.

Sounds like someone never had to deal with Crawler's Nest or Garlaige Citadel. Q_Q harder.

lol, sounds like fun, also sounds like players cannot wait the 2 minutes for the mob to move, they must panic the moment they hit warning 4 minutes on their 5 minute time limit to get status.

[Nightfyre]

Because we all zone in at 5 minute intervals.

[Guitarman]

emergency maint here. guess they finally caught on about the rings.

[Ryolen13]

rings? :0

[Guitarman]

the jupiter ring you get as a reward from one of the quests npc's for 8700 gil. i've made around 500k while trying to get my af papers. Or, if you're a goldsmither, they can be desynthed into fulminites and scintillant ingots. Saw a goldsmither desynth a batch into almost a mil worth of ingots. i figure they're nerfing one of the two. it's a good gil fountain.

[Thorny]

Smok gets a rage that gradually increases over time, even if he regens. Blaze spikes originally doing 30 went as high as 180/swing. Noncrit melee for 1200 on my samurai, flarega for 3800 with shell. Definitely bringing 5-6 next time. Seemed most comparable to Ovni's PDT, but without a visible trigger.. losing hate didn't reset it like a standard rage and it was multiple stage unlike Tiamat. It did not seem to effect his damage taken. Easy to tank, but once it gets high enough firaga4 and flarega will kill anything around. Something to keep in mind for low man attempts(we used SAM RDM RDM BRD, was lol until this came into play).

[Guitarman]

Yep. jupiter ring is gone completely. replaced with flourite ring, dex+3. first had an augment of attack+5. npc for 2,375.


bastards.

[Ryolen13]

oh that sux

edit: says that after doing the quest more than 2 times u can get either of the 2 rings, withe jupiters being rather rare.

[Foldypaws]

Oh gdi, I knew I should have done this quest already. Maybe you still get a jupiter's for first completion

[kenshyn]

><;; rare for se is = to almost fing never damn I should have rushed to do this but was waiting for the weekend sadly....

[Kaslo]

Ok so I assume Shadow Dragon mobs have 360 sight aggro at a HUGE difference? I was trying to do the Crimson II Bastion Op and kept getting aggro, ended up saying screw it and did the lower tier one...

This is also true for the iron giants it seems. I did Vunker one recently and killed easily 2-4 with people after aggroing it from its "disassembled" state. I went again today and saw it walking by abit past marids and I pulled it towards the Bastion area. After about 15 or 20mins it was starting to hit for 500+ capped -PDT and stoneskin Phalanx till it hit me for 1200+. Normally I nuke it on rdm with windurst atma for 850 or so then it dropped to 50-90.

Wouldn't be surprised if all these new mobs would share the same built rage system.

[Thorny]

Rift dragons are 15' sound aggro.

Iron giants have real rage after enough time, as do many other abyssea mobs. Like I said, what Smok did is more comparable to Ovni's PDT.

This can't be true. I had sneak and invis up, dropped invis with a dragon looking away from me, quite a distance away, and it aggroed...
