Abyssea - Vunkerl Discussion

[montgomery]

I didn't see if this was mentioned or not, but for people who don't feel bad losing a tiny bit of exp.. If you die when doing the box quest, when you raise up you move at regular movement speed, and can still finish the quest. Found that out when I aggro'd Hanuman on accident.. damn sneaky monkey. :3

[Clash Perez]

simple math really.. assuming you got your 36th stone whilst doing all the farming for a few hours
and you're at the original 20hr charge time.
36 x 20 = 720.

With 2 celerity, stone recharge is 12hrs, so..
720 / 12 =60

For those not familiar with the math, the more stones you already have stored up, the more stones you will get after applying celerity bonus.

Indeed it is. I wasn't adding to the debate, but rather confirming what had been stated earlier; I ended up late to the party because I hadn't realized that I was reading the last post of page 16, rather than the current last post of the thread.

Anyone know the four key items that can come out of gold chests in this zone? This one seems to be the least favored zone for exp, and I'm having a bit of trouble piecing together this info.

[Raen Ryong]

It's a bit dumb that the Abyssite of Celerity gives a bunch of stones to people who never use them while giving nothing to those who use them regularly <_< can't really expect SE to look at it logically I suppose.

Sea monk, gargouille, soulflayer, taurus key items

Any strats for taking down the T1 and T2 VNMs of this zone? or possible pinning spots?

i posted about the t2 on the last page. a zdei called Hm'Zdei. saw a very average rdm solo it by gravity kiting it around a rock near the pulse martello. Was grav'd the entire time and the RDM was very 'meh' geared, so has to be easy to land debuffs.

Did the Pug, Vampire and Opo NMs yesterday. Same as all abyssea NMs really, lots easier with 1 tank and a couple of DDs on it with some support. We actually had about 12 people left from an xp run but sticking that many DDs on the NMs was like insta death.

If you don't do much/any Abyssea then it's not giving you anything of value. If you do, then you can do twice as much Abyssea via Stone time than you could a few months ago. (Or a bunch more if you already had the Konschstat rock.) Square-Enix didn't give you any free shit, but you're still getting something.

Does anyone have a strategy for Bad Communication? I'm using Talaria, Atma and Mazurka and I still manage to be too slow.

[zzapp]

So any suggestions/recommendations for best xp camp/mob? Haven't xp'd here yet, but really should start focusing on this area for AF3 base feet drops.

[Uubu]

a friend told me about Atma of the Minikin Monstrosity (from Durinn) .... int +50 refresh (10/tic).,,, and something else anyone can dat mine to confirm?

You can use confluxes yanno lol


and pho told me they got the atma off an imp nm.

i see an
INT+: Superior, Refresh: Major, Enmity -: Minor

thats the only one with Refresh: major..
but wow.. 10mp/tic.. lets you free up 1 atma if u're MP intensive to go for something else..

or stack that with Fabricated Heavens for refresh and even more INT and MAB...

old pattern for atmas is first 6 in the zone tend to be obtained from each of the title dropping ones.. the new zones have 7 title NMs each but based on misareaux's known list, it seems to follow the same 6 hnms 4 nms order

That's what I was asking for a strat. Like which confluxes to use. Thanks for the useless reply.

[Hanyoko]

The confluxs that are near them.... Conflux 0, 4, 5, 6/7

if you have all that movement plus you only need to hit one conflux to go back to 0 as you can outrun everything else. BUT if you must have a walkthrough..
start the quest at the NPC, move south and grab the ??? at the north side of bats, run west through tauri and get the ??? at tigers; then run south past tauri and garg. to grab the ??? near imps; then head to conflux 4,6 or 7 to go back to 0 and finish the quest.

[Ceal]

Thank you, Hanyoko. I was using exactly the same path and still took too long. SV Troub Mazurka, so only stopped to cast Invis/Sneak. I don't get it ;/ (I'm aware that the seal droprate isn't affected by it, just annoying me)

[NynJa]

Thank you, Hanyoko. I was using exactly the same path and still took too long.

No offence, but wtf are you sightseeing? My RDM mule with just ASA leg movement hits proper time.

Accept quest, 05, run to bats ???, 05>04 (dont want to deal with tauri TS), run to smilo ???, 04>06, imp ???, 06>00, profit.

[Ceal]

I didn't try this path yet as I'm scared of imps I did hit proper time on my WHM with just +12% but can't get it done on BRD, it's ridiculous.
