I wonder how many successful CPB kills we'll see after all of the duped equips just got owned.

I'll probably go for one on friday.

[Dark Link]

Khaini gonna try on Sunday, I'm not expecting a kill.

[Vanderlust]

First time w/o DC for me yesterday~



Gotta immortalize it.

[Foxino]

Almost. :(

that mikhail.

[Mandalay]

Now regretting having sold my decent SE glove so hoping to mass fuse VL gloves. Plus charm!


Bleh. Every Necro weapon except the 1h sword.

[Bomber]

Edit: Fearless Katara recipe, Both chaos pink bean equips, a few other fearless recipes, loveless cannon, and 4 above average loveless claw!

Jesus, the item deletion made you guys 7min slower? There's no way in hell Khaini can do it now lol. A fair amount of the people who were in our first run have upped and quit.

We had different people go on this run, and we spent a lot of time trying to get people to stop attacking for more drop rate.
We also spent 4 minutes getting everyone ressed at ariel. Slight mishap. We didn't have any DR problems on our first run, but this run was a lot rustier on that account.

It took me only like six years to decide to solo Zakum. :| The first run was a disaster and I finished with 10 minutes to spare because I forgot ACPs and yes, that's mostly default gear (Only the earrings and belt give 6% LUK each). Thank goodness for Final Feint too, I got knocked towards the body once after getting 1/1'd.

Buffed range was 19653 – 23966 and I only have 16% boss at the moment.

First HT solo ever :)

[iiPodTouchMe]

Fastest run yet and first time killing since not being able to KB the v2's. Mage was a pain, so much curse.

[IllegallySane]

Decided to go solo Zak for the 1st time ever.



I probably could have shaved some time off if I was more efficient with my machine placements, but whatever.



Also tried Grandpa. But sadly I ran out of MP pots at him. Bodyguard A though was just a pain in the ass with the chain stuns.

[Curtiss]

More Zakum! As a bonus, take a good look at the runs and guess why one run took about two minutes longer than the other (Hint: It has nothing to do with the skills I used as both runs were done consecutively).





I also soloed Scarga but meh, 40 minutes means I need to apply my skills better. :(

It was that blue event buff.

[Curtiss]

It was that blue event buff.

It's actually not that, my previous buff happened to run out during the first screenshot. The real reason is actually really silly.

[holycow]

that's a 25/30 wa buff...
shouldn't be why he takes a longer time with the extra wa buff though o_o

[SaptaZapta]

With Zakum it's generally a matter of how many weapon-cancels it manages to sneak by me.

You fell asleep or you couldn't catch a break to change into your level 0 clothes, or you were so memorized by your phantom you couldn't help but stop attacking and look at it for 2minutes.

The second one is correct. I was rushing for time as I needed to work on my project so I went for a speed kill, but I absolutely can't stand to have a screenshot of my Phantom looking anything but awesome so I went in with my own equips and then I changed back once Zakum was almost dead...which took me two minutes as I got 1/1'd five times and I kept encountering problems where the equip wasn't changed. Oh, the silly things one does when the boss is easy enough!

So that this isn't just a reply, here's a shot I took after another Scarga run (Timed at 15 minutes, much better than my previous):



Same buffs used but I normally use Rage instead of Mental Clarity as the former takes a shorter buff time. This will probably be the last one I'm posting for some time though as I work on a card for %boss damage since Raven Horn Crimson Cane prices here are simply horrific; the most recent one at my server was bought at SGD 700 which is more than RM 1500.

[Takebacker]

Rage > clarity always. Party buff alone makes it worth replacing clarity, even before it's attack gets raised and it becomes stackable with both att pots and mikhail rage.
