The Bst Forum

The question on every Passionate Bst's mind....
How is this stuff made?

edit: Well there is one post that tells how it's made.. just not what skill level is needed to make them.

Unfortunately the items required to make these jugs are rare as hell. I spent 2 hours hunting diremites in Pso'xja last night and only got 1 lizard blood drop.

The lizard blood is one of the ingredients used to make the diremite jug.

From reports scattered throughout other forums, items for other jugs are mainly obtained through harvesting, mining, and exacavation points. Antican acid used to make antlion jug is a drop from anticans out in E. and W. Altep.

But like I said...these drops are rare as hell. Plus I think you need artisan and adept cooking craft to make these, thus making HQ possibilities even lower.

I don't know about you, but in terms of difficulty to craft these new jugs, the Amigo sabotender jug is actually easier to make. Plus it is automatically a Lv. 75 pet. I have a hunch that the HQ versions of the new pets are probably lv. 75 cap too...but finding ingredients and "hoping" to HQ is just too much work and impractical compared to the exisiting jugs.

Seems like CourierCarrie, Panzer, Homonculous, and Amigo are still king!

Yeah I just started to read some of the new threads where people put allot of time with no luck... probably should have waited before posting this thread.

Looks like the caps are 51 for Grasshopper, 63 for Mole, 73 for Blood, and 87 for Antica. Not exactley great levels for someone who stopped leveling Cooking at 60, like myself. It looks like these things are going to be expensive and rare. What really pisses me off is that the HQ jugs will be few and far between when that's what higher level BSTs need most, more variety.

Love how I posted about the new jugs and it gets locked and this doesnt....

Yes..we need to organize a BST rebellion against these forum moderators. >.>

Smithers! Release the hounds....and the crabs...and antlions!

At the time, the new jugs weren't available in game. So, I felt all speculation should just be in that thread. But now they are available and info is available about them. So, this thread stays open.

If the other thread stayed open, this thread still would have gotten made when concrete info was available. ^^

Sieg Bst!

I have created Bloodbroth and the anitca broth but quite frakly I am disapointed in those 2 since they are really weak compared to other jugs of the same lvl...

the only thin I can say is the NQ one bearly took out the Goblins near outpost in Eastern Altep, with me as lvl 70 BST, they started off as hitting those goblins for 90s but ended up hitting them for same dmg as they were taking.

[winterain]

Well.... it IS a NQ jug... i'm sure a Fish Broth would'nt fare much better...

[Gman]

Well.... it IS a NQ jug... i'm sure a Fish Broth would'nt fare much better...

Yes it would.

Crab Familiar does tremendous damage against level 40-50 mobs if your bst is 70.

My bst is 67 and my NQ crab can solo a rock golem in Zi'tah.

[Genova]

yes but we dont know whats the cap on these new jugs do we ? so this trap familier may be uncapped like Humoculs, since that is also a NQ jug aswell. as for crab familier it is capped at lvl 55, still gets extra attack bonuses if you are higher lvl though, but its HQ stops going up after 55
