A Ward to End All Wards.
The Boxwatcher's Behest.

[Shenrien]

I did; The Boxwatcher's Behest - 6 times can got Rank 3 Fame.

I went with the heaviest bag, and killed myself on the mobs on the outside of the outpost to remove the gravity, took me 40 minutes to get the game for the quest, was very easy, just watch out for Ironclad, the Marid NM, and the Opo NM.

:D I also go rewarded with DNC, and SMN feet seals.

[wop]

how is this possible i do not understand

Alarity or w/e i have my macros /ja lightarts /ja darkarts same function under same button for too long, don't care.

principle still the same, 50% shorten casttime nuke > helix bio > profit

very weird pop progression of mobs across servers..
trying to plot this out but Ragnarok doesnt have marids, ladybugs or spiders..

anyone can give a pos for the latter 2?

[OdinBlaize]

Ladybugs and spiders are both east of conflux 5.

Looking for some more information on His Bridge, His Beloved, particularly for repeats. From what I've gathered, you go to a bridge and check it, and based on the description, you'll either need to trade 2, 4, or 5 spider drops. Wiki also says you can fix any bridge after the first completion. Can you just run around and find a bridge that only requires 2 drops, or do you have to fix the first bridge you check? Also, drop rate on Viscous Spittle? Zone and/or day required to repeat? Thanks!

w00t tigers finally popped on craby

[Not Kuno]

How do you activate the tarus quest here? I did all other quests but he doesn't give it to me.

[Spira]

o lol.. SE made a mistake with the dvergr NMs and their titles..
Dvalinn (+ flayer + imp NM key items) pop Durinn.. but they implemented a title to the wrong NM..
Title is Dvalinn Deceiver, tho im pretty sure it pops off Durinn. not a big deal really but lol thought I'd point it out.

anyway.. has anyone managed to pop Karkadann (pop is at tigers area - requires smilodon and marid key items)? its most likely Dark Ixion mob...
marids and tigers still havent popped on some servers afaik tho

Fun fact: The celerity bonus applies immediately after you receive it. Before I got the abyssite, my timer for my next stone was set at 250ish minutes. After I came back from Vunky, the stone was waiting for me and my next stone is ready in under 12 hours :D

New Abyssites thread:

I'd like to confirm this as well, and I think I understand how it works. I had 20 stones before my 2nd Celerity and 27 afterwards. However, I've also heard a few people with low amounts of stones claim that they've gotten none or 1 that they assumed was from the tick over (didn't get their exact numbers, totally should have). Here is my theory.

Your stones are stored in units of hours, not in units of stones. Number of Stones = floor(Stored Hours / Time Per Stone)

Using the data in our two examples, let's say I've stored up 330 hours and I have 1 celerity, so 16 hours per stone. 330 / 16 = 20.625 = 20 stones. Now, I get my 2nd celerity. I still have 330 hours, so now the formula is 330 / 12 = 27.5 = 27 stones.

Likewise, with Arkanna's data, let's say he has 410 hours. With 1 celerity, 410 / 16 = 25.625 = 25 stones. With 2 celerity, 410 / 12 = 34.166 = 34 stones.

If someone uses their stones (or more accurately, hours) frequently and only has, say, 24 hours stored, 24 / 16 = 1.5 = 1 stone, 24 / 12 = 2 stones, explaining the lack of noticeable increase.

Feel free to correct me if I've made a mistake somewhere, but the math certainly seems to work.

My first version of a Vunkerl map chart is ready...
sorry I took a while.

Abyssea - Vunkerl

these new areas seem like they'll be done a lot sooner than Vision's. Its mostly likely gotta do with the quest spamming.

It also multiplies any saved stones. LS member went from high 20s to mid 30s.

[Aemora]

nvm

[Clash Perez]

Haven't seen much info for Iktomi; would he be soloable? SCH/RDM/BLU in particular. Would Ambition be enough to keep ahead of him?

[Hanyoko]

Finally got Family Ties to activate ; i think its 4+ fame but you need to complete "For want of a pot" in Attowah first.
Teigero-Bangero -> Naruru -> Teigero-Bangero = complete and get taru tot toyset
trade toyset to Panta-Putta -> Naruru = Jester Hat

[Reins]

Has anyone fought the Gargouille NM Quasimodo yet? I am trying to figure out which other nm drops Rng feet seal, and looking at previous posts I am leaning towards the sea monk nm, Iku-Turso, or Quasi.

[Rocl]

See, now I'm just CONFUSED. Alacrity = -50% time, Rapture = +50% cure potency. So, now it's not just a matter of getting the stratagems for different arts confused, but the actual effect of the stratagems.

[Psion]

I'm calling fake on the celerity applying to existing stones, since I had 7 stones before I got the abyssite, and reading on peoples reports was exited I'd get more stones, but when I actually finished the quest and got it, then went to get tonberry one while I was at it, I still had 7 stones with Joachim.

So I'm betting people are just seeing things they want to see, or misremembering their original stone stock. <.<

[Kilik]

I flagged the quest on a mule. Ran to jeuno to check my stock. Ported back to Vunkerl and traded in whisker and got abyssite. Went back to check stock again. Prequest=57 stones. After quest = 75 stones. I took /clock'd screenshots of the whole process if you really want me to post them.
