Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

they're all rare/ex drops from the jailer NMs in sea.

There's so much in this game there is to know, it's amazing that people would like more content when most everyone haven't even scatched the surface yet... =/

the people who want more content are usually the ones who have seen it all already. theorderls are some pretty hardcore folks...

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

all sorts of stuff was attempted by theorderls or the other folks that participate there. one, iirc, was to try all the jailer weapons.

What do these weapons look like? I mean, if they're synthable (Like, can be uncursed, upgraded, enhanced, etc.) There's so much in this game there is to know, it's amazing that people would like more content when most everyone haven't even scatched the surface yet... =/

I really wanna say it was theorderls. I'm not sure, I'll try to look around some tonight after I get home from work.

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

I recall hearing (think it was on an ls's website) that a group had tried using all the weapons the jailer's drop, but to no avail. May have been heresay, but have been B.S., I may just be remembering wrong, but I do recall reading that.

Getting all the weapons collectively as a group is accomplishment in itself and is nothing to look down on. I'd praise a group for doing so. You'd hear something about that, but I haven't really looked in on KI or Alla in a while =/

If it's true and all of Macht's suggestions were tried, then that sucks. >.<

First off, this is like any CoP NMs. I remember when CoP first came out, everyone ran off to find the Wyrms and then wiped a million times before coming up with a strat to defeat the Wyrms.

Here we are again. Anyone who went through many of the BC fights in CoP missions will know that there's certain items that can make encounters easier. Has anyone in that group fighting Absolute Virtue ever looked into items that might help them? Particular equipment setups? Those kind of things that can only be researched with time

I remember reading a portion of that Sage Sundi interview and how NA players were "whining" about how tough Jailor of Love was. Complaining about how the regen was too strong, etc.

In WOW, there's this NM named Onyxia. The way you fought her, was to do "something" before you actually fought her. I'm sure this is the same for Jailor of Love and probably for Absolute Virtue. Probably a fight of other NMs in the area or finding some very rare items that might either be used on the NM itself or used to unlock other items or ways to weaken the NM.

God, a lot of players lack effing imagination.

And then Macht's idea...

Well in quandry to this outburst, considering that the mobs name is Absolute Virtue has any one possibly tried fighting Absolute Virtue with the Virtue Weapons?

Ironicaly each of the weapons possessing 1 of the 7 virtues, Faith, Fortitude, Hope, Justice, Love, Prudence, and Temperance. All 7 used at once would essentialy be Absolute Virtue destroyer if they are trying to make the gamers think. Also as you notice the 7 weapons of virture never has a repeating job, means you need 7 jobs that will work with the 7 weapons.

Is it me or anyone else notice SEs fixation with 7 and godlness stature? I mean Ambrosia (Food of the Gods) all stats +7, 7 virtues weapons (All of which posses a stat and surprise +7 a stat). Just about anything related to Heaven or Hell in this game has the number 7 related to it.

Anubi's Knife (+7% Crit), Lust Dageer (+7 AGI), Sirocco Kukri (Wind controlled by God +7 Wind), Garuda's Dagger (+7 attack), Gluttony Sword (+7 VIT), Greed Scimitar (+7 DEX), Durandal (Sword blessed of 4 Saints, +7 VIT), Curtana (Sword believe to of been forged from the Lance of Longinus, the lance that pierced Christ +7 CHR), Wrath Tabar (+7 STR), etc...

All the speculation was for naught tho apparently.

Actually, none of the LS I knew ever tried Macht's idea. Even the JPs are bullheaded (Surprisingly) and they've even proferred a 40 BLM+ rush (CFH'd) before... again, unless you've exhausted all ideas, then I believe the devs are hinting at something that the community is too stubborn to try and humor these suggestions.

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

Yeah, the initial threads when he popped for the first time on the Order's boards and KI, speculation was rampant. Everything from the ludicrous like fighting him with lv1 characters (I know....) to legitimate ideas such as using the Weapons the Jailers drop. All the speculation was for naught tho apparently.

44000 and change has to be a record by a fair margin for HP regained through Benediction tho. lol

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

It only got CFH'd in the beginning, when it stopped using 2hrs and casting spells. When they recovered it, it only stopped doing 2hrs.

Double Post Edited:
Match this isn't the first AV topic, infact in the thread that AV was discovered had almost every idea anyone could think of.

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

Each individuale player didn't stay there 30 hours, they swapped people back and forth the entire time. Some people would fight for a few hours then log and come back on a few hours later ect. The battle lasted 30 hours, the fighters all took turns resting though.

Heck there was even one point where it got CFH'd so everone with hate had to log out for a while and come back in. Now in all honesty, if that wasn't an all blm ordeal the idea of having an army of people fighting a single battle for that amount of time seems pretty fun. That'd be like the closest FFXI has ever gotten to a full blown war in game.

Its still ------- retarded.

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

I think Macht is suggesting (and I concur) that the "standard" methods of combat dont really apply to AV. There are perhaps some items, set of weapons, unreleased spells etc that will make this battle much more managable (i.e. several hours rather than some ungodly amount)

[Darkhound]

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

Puzzle?

What do you meay by that.. like you have to do something to ir or what... LOL 30 hours... i mean.. i would like have to skip work for 2 days.. with no sleep lol imopssible!

[Macht]

Re: FFXIOnline.com at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006

30+ hours is just ridiculous!!!!

Heh, I'm sure the time span will shorten drastically if you figure out the puzzle of AV. Funny to see that board is barely now conceiving ideas I stated many months ago, think someone's going to figure it out very soon now.
