A Terrible, Terrible Thought . . .

[Reauland]

Hiya fellow Bsts ^^

As anxious as I am for the upcoming "Epic Bst" levels (76-80), I've had a rather disturbing thought concerning Beast Affinity merits:

Are we gonna lose Saber and Funguar completely?

As many of you are well aware, I'm sure, Saber Siravarde and Funguar Familiar hit their natural caps at 63 and 65, respectively. Does that mean that even fully merited, we'll begin to leave these wonderful pets further and further behind in basically a repeat of our journey to 75?

I hate to even think that that might turn out to be the case, but it's also precisely the sort of oversight that SE has visited upon us poor, crazy, dedicated Bsts many times before.

 

[Falkirk]

Oh man, that would suck. I hope they follow through and add more Pet types, hopefully with some uncapped options.
I'd like to swap out BA for KI in that case. But for now, lookin' bleak.

 

[LadyKiKi]

As it stands so far I think we're fooked already, so relax. Lets see what happens in June version update.

The only update coming for us is "more accessible pets via synergy" today.

I DON'T EVEN SYNERGYY FFFFFFF......

 

[Reauland]

Well guys? I won't be on tonight to see what they drop on us (yay! nightshift . . .), but I'll be like a good lil Bst on Christmas mornin tomorrow to see what we get. If anyone runs across any noteworthy info in the meantime, please let us all know

 

[LadyKiKi]

The update probably means we can dupe existing jug pets. Take one, chuck it in the synergy oven (poor thing), apply 2 crystals and some retarded rare item = 1 stack!

Oh and it'll be "EX" so you can't sell it.

EDIT: FUCK YEAH

The selling prices of the following items have been revised:
Skull Locust / King Locust / Mushroom Locust / Snapping Mole / Helmet Mole / Carrot Broth / Famous Carrot Broth / Bug Broth / Quadav Bug Broth / Herbal Broth / Singing Herbal Broth / Carrion Broth / Cold Carrion Broth / Humus / Rich Humus / Meat Broth / Warm Meat Broth / Tree Sap / Scarlet Sap / Fish Broth / Fish Oil Broth / Seedbed Soil / Alchemist Water / Sun Water / Grasshopper Broth / Noisy Grasshopper Broth / Mole Broth / Lively Mole Broth / Blood Broth / Clear Blood Broth / Antica Broth / Fragrant Antica Broth

The harvesting rates for the following items have been adjusted, and they are now dropped by certain enemies:
Skull Locust / King Locust / Mushroom Locust / Snapping Mole / Helmet Mole

MORE EFT/FLYTRAP JUGS! W00T

I honestly never really use jug pets, I know there are a few things you don't have a choice, but other than those, how often is a jug better than surrounding mobs you can charm? I'm excited to be able to lvl my bst again up to 99, such a fun job to solo/duo.

I raise you the fact that aside for EXP camps and a few NMs, how often are we forced to use a jug pet because nothing else is charmable?

- Aside from a few assaults, every assault
- Nyzul
- Dynamis
- Sea
- Limbus
- Einhenjar
- Sky (indoors)
- ZNM might be an exception
- BCNM
- KSNM
- Battlefield Mission Fights
- Most campaign areas (without the use of familiar)
- Ballista/Brenner (lol)
- I'm sure I've missed something ...

And in all of those instances, jug pets last maybe 1 minute one on one against those mobs. Then we're stuck for 4 mins wondering what is going on.

Sad days

Yeah, but most everyone will be asked to come a different job to things like those. So if your bst only, sure jug pets rock, if not, you'll be on your other 75's.

Only time I've ever used a jug pet was for up in arms bcnm.

 

[LadyKiKi]

Yeh, but then what's the point of the job? lol!

But it's been a while since we're aligned to this fate, so I was expecting much. So business as usual. Sure I'll solo to 99, it'll be fun.

 

[Reauland]

I totally agree, Icewolf. Anywhere I can use natural, DC-EM pets, I do. I'm thinkin more the long range in terms of what will we have for juggies when we are eventually 99.

I know that's a long time off, but I seriously don't wanna be forced into a Carrie-onry position again. It really, really stunk.

Not to mention I really enjoy surprising the odd merit party with pretty darn respectable damage from pets like fungie, Lars, and Saber.

 

[cesaria-midg]

There are assorted other jugs in the dats they could release - think there's a leech, a white bunny etc (let's face it, if Satan had a pet it would be a HQ white bunny). I suspect some of those may finally get released as the cap raises.

 

[Reauland]

Oh man . . . I sure hope so.

Inu and I have been /drooling over the Leech pet and the Coeurl pet for years now

Plus which, the leech is named, Fatso Fagan, we think. What Bst don't want a pet named Fatso? XD

Would be awesome! Once the cap raises lets Quad-uo, Me You Timwakefield and Inu, would be LS Epicness!

 

[Reauland]

Hell yeah, Exo!

, , , Now all we gotta do is figure out where . . .

 

[exodusamphi]

BTW, just did some Synergy jug crafting, got HQ on first try, seems to be more based on how accurately you can match up the elements. Not hard at all, will provide further as I level up.

 

[Reauland]

Very nice!

Looks like I'ma have to get off my lazy butt and learn this synergy stuff

It's interesting, but pretty redundant to level up. Exo and myself knocked out some of those nifty teleport earrings though (Jeuno, Bastok, Kazham). If you 'd like some help making some or learning about it we'd be happy to help.

 

[Reauland]

Yah, I'll definitely be takin you guys up on that offer very soon
