3 Minutes of being a God....

[Alereth]

Primeval Brew

Effects: (3 minutes, All Races)

* Strength +999
* Dexterity +999
* Agility +999
* Vitality +999
* Intelligence +999
* Mind +999
* Charisma +999
* Regen +300/tic
* Refresh +300/tic


Various other effects are present, but details are not known at this time.

What would you do with this item? How would you expend it? What would be the best use for it? How much damage could you do? How much could you heal? How much could you nuke?

The whole item just kinda blows my mind. :shok:

Personally, I see this with a RDM using chainspell as being the ultimate destroyer. Can you even expend that much MP at 300/tic refresh? And +999 INT?

It'll be a while yet before we see anyone use it, lol. Given that you can get ~10,000 Cruor/hr, it'll still take you in the neighborhood of 200 hours of Abyssea xp farming to have the requisite 2,000,000 Cruor you need for that particular item, assuming you don't use any for any other reason.

Pity you can't take temp items elsewhere, would be a really nice thing to have against post-bracelets AV...

 

[Alereth]

According to wiki, it isn't temporary... >.>

 

[Raesvelg]

/shrug, you buy it in the temp items category from the NPC iirc.

 

[Kyrial]

You buy it in the temp items category, but it doesn't have the Temp tag like the others, so it's uncertain.

+999 to stats isn't gonna do much more than +100 would. That's decently useful, but the real big thing is the Regen/Refresh, I'd say. And of course, I'm sure the effects SE isn't telling us about are even more awesome. Just too bad that it doesn't seem to give Regain with the Regen/Refresh... as far as we know.

Every attack has a random chance of hitting with Endoom or Endeath.

300TP/Tic Regain o.o

Also, I have a feeling it will affect job abilities as well. Maybe like a Revitalizer or something. Speculation of course, but if the effect is going to be godly, that would fit fairly well.

10k/hour.

2mil required.

= 200 hours.

Have fun.

Quick, someone with no life go buy the PW key in auction house, get exp for 200 hours, and go kill PW.

Welcome to post #2, slacker.

We also don't know everything that it does yet. Apparently when asked, the devs outlined what we know, then said it also had additional effects beyond that.

So who knows?

 

[Tim Wakefield]

People on BG were talking about what job would benefit from it most?

I'd think RDM, making full use of the HP and MP, but maybe a BLM going apeshit? RDM/DRK wou...oh wait nevermind.

 

[Tim Wakefield]

Double post wooo.

 

[Myrrh]

I can see Rdm getting the best use out of it. Pop that baby, use Chainspell and go to town. Have constant gear swap macros so you're not slowed down by casting animations and shit would die.

Its a medicine. So on top of this, you can still eat whatever food you want for the situation.

 

[Kajimaru]

If they are offering this to us,
What kind of mobs do they have planned for us in the future?!
"Proto-Omega Virtue Warden" o.o;

 

[Raesvelg]

lol, that is a question. I suppose it's possible they put it in there just for giggles, and to give you something to have a chance soloing some of the NMs, but it does make one wonder...

 

[Myrrh]

I'd love to see a Ruby Weapon as a mega NM.

 

[Tyrath]

Considering how much time these would take to farm, I doubt they will have any NMs planned around this item...or so one hopes <_<

Ah! But that is why SE is so sneaky! The NMs have already been in play! Muahahahaha! ...

But seriously, it looks like an item just to have fun with. 3 minutes isn't enough for most jobs to really do anything awe inspiring.

The jobs that will get the most use of this are the ones with instant gratification 2 hours. Chainspell, Meikyo Shisui, Mighty Strikes, Azure Lore, maybe Blood Weapon.

I can see this helping tanks out as well with the massive VIT and AGI boosts.

I'm also curious to see how effective circle abilities (Warding, Holy, Arcane etc) become with the +999 CHR.
