This thread is sort of late. Every Saturday 10pm est, will try to set a run for Arch Ultima.
I believe we still have about 6 pops for it at least (at the time of this post).

Lot rule:
Will use a "priority comment system" that seems to be used by the JPs.
Set comment for 1 item u want to lot. If the item in your comment drop, you may lot it.
If the item didn't drop or you lost the lot, you will get a priority point if you comment the same item next run.
The one with most priority point on an item gets priority to lot that item.
Multiple people with the most priority points on the same item may lot together.
Once you get the item in your comment, you lose all your priority points.
If u switch to a different item for comment, you lose all your priority points.
If an item drop and no one has comment for it, it's free lot.

Entry fee:
Need 150 ABC and Cosmo Cleaner to enter. Will split the ABC among the people that has comment for item.
If you're just helping don't need to pay the ABC.

I will post the comments and who get drops each run so people can double check.



Lotting example:
Say there are 2 players: Y and Z.
Run#1: Y has comment for hand, Z has comment for body. Hand dropped. Y lot hand cause he has comment for it.
Run#2: Y has comment for legs, Z has comment for body. Z get 1 priority points for body. Legs dropped. Y lot legs cause he has comment for it.
Run#3: Y has comment for body, Z has comment for body. Z now has 2 priority points for body. 1 body dropped.
Only Z may lot cause he has the most priority point for the body.
Run#4: Y has comment for body, Z has comment for body (he want both body pieces). Y now has 1 priority points for body, Z has 0 priority points for body (cause he won it last run). 1 body dropped. Only Y may lot cause he has the most priority points for the body.

So this lotting rule prevent lucky people screwing over the not-so-lucky people (see what i did there?!! =p).
Hope this will be fair for everyone.

Planing to do Central Temenos Basement II on Saturday 5th January 2013, sometime between 8 to 10 pm est.
Time is not finalized yet, pls post what time is good for you if you are interested.

Looking for as many people as possible so that we have as many KI for Arch Omega. You can do whatever you want with the KI after the run.

Aside:
I will setup Arch omega runs in the future depending on turn out of Central Temenos Basement II.
Lot rule draft for Arch boss:
Set 1 comment for an item u want to lot, if it drop u may lot.
If an item drop that no one has comment on, every one may lot it.
The 150 ABC entry fee will be split among those that has comment for item.

Since content lately are PD/Embrava zerg fest or needing 2hour abilities to win reliably, having the ability to reliably reset 2hour in 5 minute or less is getting more valuable.
This is where Moblin Maze Mongers comes to play. By using Maze 09, you can get revitalizer for your party (up to 6players) at the cost of 3 C.C. points (cave conservation).

QuoteThe first point is received 32 hours after ordering a maze, with an additional point every eight hours thereafter, up to a maximum of six total points.

It would be handy if bunch of people have this maze.
As of at this moment I think only 2 people have maze 09 in LS.
To get maze 09 you have to pay 100 moblin marbles, problem here is I think no one has points.

So, for the next 2 weeks, Monday-wednesday 10pm est, I'll do MMM run if people interested.
If you can't make it at this time and want to do it at different time and need a body, can send me a tell, I'm always down for MMM.

Those lazy bums finally documented a list of procs, which seems to be complete

Proc list

Aside: wikipedia info is so outdated. They only have the links to proc list and the BG forum thread.
Outside of BG, information doesn't seem to spread as fast anymore.
POIDH? ok!!

End aside

Get those voidstones started if u haven't from "Voidwatch Officer", at the 3 cities, or the one in sauromogue (outside of Jeuno's gate/wall/whatchamcallit)

QuotePer the weakness messages gained from periapts (of percipience and guidance), the enemy will either be "vulnerable" or "highly vulnerable" to a particular weakness, with the quantity and types of spectral alignment added dependent on the type of vulnerability and what triggered the stagger (reference the spectral alignment table above).

It seems in general people call out "vulnerable" as NQ, and "highly vulnerable" as HQ
i.e. NQ water magic, HQ club ws

VW procs basically dictates most of group 2 merit for certain jobs if u want to cover as much as possible

It seems it might be possible to max all alignment within 1 minutes of battle, if can proc 2 HQ and everyone apeshite during those 2HQ blitz window. Since it's damage based for blitz, this prolly only possible on low tiers.

QuoteWhether or not you have upgraded abyssites, you will still be able to obtain rewards from any fights you can participate in as long as you have available voidstones.

So, just need one of the lazy dude to get off their lazy butt and upgrade those abyssite, so the rest of the non-lazy people can leech the highest tier fight. Coruscanti on the first VW u ever do?? Awesomeness!!

There's a quest line for VW, so might be a shinryu like fight when we reached the last VW patch.

Planning to start a weekly abyssea group on weekend on either saturday or friday night. Hopefully Saturday 8pm est.
Plan for now is just to lowman and kill NMs for af3 seals, and if certain NMs are up kill them for their abysite/atma. Depend on how many people are interested might be able to even attempt boss.

If you're interested please post what would be a good time for u, and what seals u need.
