Magian Weapon Augments

[Hexx]

So has anyone started augmenting any of the Magian weapons? If so, what augments have you found? Maybe we can make this thread somewhat of a resource for everyone.

 

[StanDarsh]

They're already all preset I believe. 105 dmg scythe is way sexy. On stage 2 2/3 on NM kills atm.

 

[Hexx]

Right but do the trials have a specific preset order you have to follow, or does following them in different order yield different augments?

 

[StanDarsh]

Different orders, different augments. There's a couple of the complete trees and requirements on BG already.

It's a branching thing, at least for the Magian-specific weapons. I'm personally following a path for the Side-sword/Soulsaber that leads to a Soulsaber with DMG:43 Delay:230 MP+30 MAcc+10 for my RDM. Because you shouldn't have to quest a freaking mythic or hit the lottery to get a RDM sword with MAcc+10. Glad they addressed that finally... Anyway, the quest path is Side-sword > 164 > 190 > 209 > 210 > 211 > 212. As I type this I'm waiting for weather to show up in the Mire so I can start stabbing leeches to get 164 do -- thunder! Gottagobye! -- Pteryx

Just a heads up for anyone going down Ultimatum 105 path. For Donggu, there's two sets of placeholders according to JPs here with me. Their wiki stated the placeholders were only at H-7 like ours, but after killing them for hours on end and having no luck they killed the ones at I-5 as well and the NM popped right away. The NM still only pops at H-7 though. Just have someone in the party kill the PHs at I-5 and have the rest of the party at H-7 kill the ones there, and when the NM pops just hold it until the person from I-5 can get in range.

I was hoping for a Joyeuse replacement... I love my little blue sword, but I've never liked the way it looked. It looks like even the best sword with "occasionally attacks twice" still has less DPS than Joytoy, so there's no point in going through the upgrade butt-pain to get it.

Do any of you other PLDS think the VIT +4, phys damage -5% sword is worth it? Even against bosses, I think I'd still rather go with Atonement spam from Joyeuse.

Currently 1/4 on the pot nm for ultimatum, pretty close to being done with this bad boy. 3 more base dmg than apoc? {Yes Please}

 

[StanDarsh]

You should come back to this server you nooblet

 

[Icewolf]

I am a nooblet, so much so that I don't know how to server transfer and come back =(

Though the Ultimatum scythe is pretty sexy, I was a little bummed when i realized the stage 4 scythe I am working on will be inferior to it....

4/6 on the second to last trial for ultimatum, I've been spending so many damn hours on these nm's its insane. But honestly I've met alot of new friends and lots of career drk's, which has been nice. Hopefully I'll be done this in 1-2 more days.

Pretty much the same experiences as you. Met a lot of great Drks during these trials. NAs and JPs alike. 0/6 NM kills on the last stage for me though. Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow. :< What is your take on Feuerunke and Erebus? Are they more difficult than the first two T2 VNMs?

828 > 100 any family light weather/day
829 > 100 arcana light weather/day

Light Weather? Only way I can realistically see this done is by running a lot of Limbus-Temenos.

Edit: Whoops, I read that as "light weather *and* lightsday", it's much more reasonable considered as "light weather *and* lightsday".

 

[StanDarsh]

Believe you still need to be able to get exp from the mobs so I don't think that would work.

 

[Dowzer]

Nyzul would be great

 

[StanDarsh]

Finished my scythe late last night. I am a happy man =)

 

[Icewolf]

Just finished mine this afternoon, I am also a very happy man. Now I can pretend I'm doing apoc ws damage.

I'm currently working for the -5% physical damage sword and eventually the -4 dark element avatar perpetuation staff.
