    Got only 1 pair of Dual Blades to drop that basically look like Diablo Clubs (handles) and fancy gold/black blade parts.

    Its basically Diablo Clubs+1, it has 10 more defense, doesnt matter though because I dont have 4 DB streamstones to upgrade it... I dont even have 1.

    I'm not sure I love that because take last night for instance. We had 5 people and split up into groups of 3 and 2 that weren't consistent between runs. The final run had the group of 3 break the horns while the group of two couldn't. Now all 5 had been contributing equally and in mixed situations, but what you are telling me is that the 2 at the end got less siege completion rewards than the group of 3?

    Sounds like it's best to stick to full groups of 4, then, or else people could get screwed despite putting in equal work/time due to being in less full groups at the end.

    You miss out on... I think 300 or so points? It's not a huge amount when you're looking at 100 points per reward tier, and they just keep adding up no matter what.

    Yea the only rewards you should really be missing are the horn carves, end mission rewards should be the same.

    Did you guys download an update when you got on? Or in a not squad session? Cause I see you all in game but can't find you.

    It wouldn't let me join PAX Rawrcadia's session and it didn't look like anyone was on at 8 besides Booker (and Foreverender but he wasn't responding to my party invites) so Book and I jumped into a full rando session. We cleared Kulva twice (with horn breaks each time) in just 4 runs which was awesome.

    Probably wouldn't let you join Pax due to our network conflict again, I was idle in it

    That was probably when I went to eat, when I got back I was playing with Elki and another friend. We hopped into a rando session, and seemed to all have various loss of connection from the session issues

    I love these updates, but I wish they would take a moment to straighten out their online

    I need them to just put the gem in the melder now, because I've gotten more than enough materials for the armor set... except for the gem. And it's not like there's a weapon to make.

    I did get a LBG that can load all levels of all three basic shot types, and has rapid normal 1,2, spread 1, and a couple statuses. That was nice. I think the raw may be a wee bit low? But it doesn't load ANY elements, which makes up for it.

    Does anyone know what the difference is between the final two reward ranks for the siege? The group of 4 I play with can break the horns on the 3rd attempt (4th if we triple cart), and get points for everything but pursuit level 6. I'm just not sure if it is worth letting it escape one or two more times to make sure we get to pursuit level 6 and the final reward rank.

    Dual blades sucks for the last stage, but boy do I have fun on the first two with it. Kulve is so big you can actually beyblade sideways and diagonally for a tiny bit.

    Like 2-3 more bronze/silver box rewards. Better off just doing 3 quicker runs.

    The important thing to remember is if your fighting her and the message prompt comes up that "another party has destroyed the horns", make sure you do the same in that instance as the siege will be completed regardless you fail or succeed.

    Sounds more confusing than it is.

    I mean the only thing you lose out on if you don't break the horns the same attempt another group does is 4(?) carves, which isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things


    It's four carves that could get you a gem.

    I've got one so far but that came off the carveable golden plating that uncovers the horns.

    This is such a weird event. Since you can't keep groups together after each siege it's like you have to jockey for position for groups - especially when you see the same names queuing again again who just run into the lava. Then, as people drop out, it's a weird timing situation to make sure you're in a group that is in position to finish the siege - rather than setting up pursuit points for another group starting shortly after you.

    I carried a group of three idiots most of last night but just couldn't seal the deal on a 6/6 pursuit and just ran out of people to run it with. What a huge shame.

    Also, blocking that massive lava blast with your lance shield is CIVILIZATION.

    Guess that explains why I barely saw anyone on. I jumped into a random session and we cleared it in our second run. Got her to the final phase the first try but dps wasn't there.

    Definitely more interested in just gathering mats then hoping for some rng for weapons, that way leads to madness.

    Lance really shines through every single phase of this fight, I love it.

    I had every intention of being on last night - I even laid down to take a quick nap at 8 so I'd be fresh.

    Then I slept through my alarm and didn't wake up until 11:30, at which point I went to bed.

    One of the new events has increased crowns for both diablos. I still need both for black so that is pretty cool. Not really interested in the new monster since I mostly play with PUGs.

    That was the theory before hand.

    But I've run it through three times and seen no crowns (not even silver large), and I'm struggling to find confirmation online.

    I'm glad the bushi tickets aren't super rare, I've just been having real bad luck getting them. Almost done the first set at least...

    Speaking of bad luck, I've also been unable to get a glimerstone off the gold coating/horn carves (and yeah, I don't expect them to add it to the melder just like they didn't add Deviljho's). Does it also show up in the post-siege rewards?

    yeah, PSN PA room was weird last night. I ended up being the only one in it most of the night with individuals jumping in every once in a while. I checked for updates and otherwise, but couldn't figure out the reason it was weird.

    I just knocked out a ton of my options so worked for me.

    I got two of the glimstones last night. One was from carving the gold plating and the other was a reward after a non-horn breaking run.

    Edit: Quick internet sleuthing tells me that most people are getting theirs from carving the gold plating.

    No joke, I'd be finding the nearest store that has a generous return policy and buying a PS4 that I knew I was going to return as soon as my original PS4 got fixed.

    Because yes, this event is super fun.

    I'm tempted to set up plating carve runs or something. It looks like you can easily blow it off in the first zone with fairly low pursuit level. Drop rocks on it and then have some HBG unload on the face, etc.

    Carve and return and repost.

    Because I'm at 5 clears (4 horn breaks) and have yet to get a single Charge Blade. That's like, what, 60+ weapon drops and not a single one of the only weapon I use?!

    Speaking of the random weapons after I double-checked that Odo lance clone I discovered it's actually pretty bad because it doesn't have the max sharpness bar like normal Odo lance. Boooo.

    edit: apparently it can get back to white again with 1 point of handicraft. so if I had a protective polish deco, it would actually be better. doh

    Tier 16 rewards are the same as Tier 17, at least in these sense that you get 3 gold rewards.

    Also, Deviljho gem is available with the melder.

    Again I hope they make some permanent way to farm the relics.

    Time limited events are not my favorite thing in most cases.

    This event the way it is structured actually great for a limited time event but it would be cool if they added relics into some permanent activity.

    I don't think this is accurate. I jumped into a late stage hub with no open groups last night, so I just did it solo. I still got rank 10+ rewards even though I couldn't finish her off myself. It looks to me that you get credit for every activity that happens while you are in the fight. I think you actually do worse being in the group that finishes her off first since your rewards are capped when you finish her off while others in the instance can keep breaking things and getting more.
