Arkarium: yet another (tough?) battle

I think you need MG and Onyx Will active for it to kick in. If not, all your buffs on at once. I seen myself getting 1 HP dmg quite a few times.

I don't experience this with level 1 Onyx Will.

EDIT: Evans have "i-frames" now. The 1 HP damage occurs when you're telecasting/teleporting. I've tested it without MG and it works.

Has anyone even GOTTEN a primal essence yet? and if so were did they get it from. me and my friends have been hunting heart stones and golden flowers for a few weeks now and none of use have even SEEN one

Yes there is SS proof.

Man this boss is tough. Does anyone here who has killed it have some tips? Minimum level, amount of Mages, strategy?

For a normal not super funded mage, it's hard to kill the snakes because they can heal themselves. Bind helps. You can also kill Akryum without a mage if you rush the snakes far away from Akryum and keep them there.

Saw 1 in windia for 2.1b. I have no idea if someone bought it.

pretty much said already, but either bring an OP mage, or a DS and have him save his binds for the snakes, so the mages can kill them.

besides that, just magic crashers to stop the 40 seconds of ignore physical, and you're set.

scania "someone" is offering 3b+ for the essence, lol

I just did 4 hours straight of 9.6x drop at oblivion 4.... I did not find a single confusion fragment ._. These drop rates need to be buffed or something, that's insane.

So these fragments are basically...the dragon scales/spirits of yesteryear. Joyous.

Does any other Evan get this or am I the only Evan on SP with it? O.o Few Evans in Khaini are also having it happened.

It isn't Evan specific, it's all classes with Teleport Mastery afaik. I used to get this when training my HS mule at MP3 - if you teleport into something directly as you take damage, you don't take any damage at all. Not sure why or how long it's been around for, but it was present since before the latest patch.

.. strategy?

Apparently nobody wants to share.

How tricky is that to be exact? My guild lack really strong magicians, but we do have a few physical attackers that could get 2,1b HP down in a tiny amount of time.

I'm not teleporting to get 1hp damage. I can walk into them and get 1hp damage. I'll try it out again with walking and report back here.

Managed to make the Berserker & Guardian rings last night...will post SS up when I get home from work...only 2L epic & 2L rare right now so once I get some more NX I'll 3L and cube them some more. Chaos'd a slot of the Berserk Ring...went from 5/5/5/5 2att to 3/0/7/3 3att...least it brought it up 1att...I'll hammer it sometime in the future...the set bonus is uber nice though

pin arkirum to the left side his snakes to the right either have a strong mage or use a warriors magic crash to get rid of the snakes. Having a DS helps greatly with binding darkness. Other then that watch for damage reflect. Its fairly simple though he does be trolling with that 1 hit ko move of his.

Just curious, do you loose exp if you die in there?

yea 1% and you will die in upwards of 10 times at the very least.

Hah, screw this until I level then.

Oh damn, that's weird. I thought you meant when teleporting. Never mind then :c

Tried once- lagged and eventual D/C. There were about 6 in our expedition and I was the only (clueless) mage. Now I know- mage + DS push to the right, everyone else rush + attack to the left.

Thx Bleve for the damage info- ~5k+ HP and 20+k MP and I was getting okko'd with MG + HB. Huh? 30k+ damage will do that I suppose, I was wondering if his attack bypassed MG totally.

I'm an "average" semi-funded mage with a clean range of 17k unbuffed. What attacks would work best- Paralyze, Mist + Eruption and Meteor between cool downs or just spam Paralyze? Is it worth to Seal or Slow while the mobs get rushed to the side or is that moot?

BTW- as above, level first then go on the run. Even 1% loss adds up if you get killed every few seconds.
