Congratulations! What are your thoughts on the stronghold?
-

Much easier than Kobold... ^^

The strongholds are by far the most fun thing in this game atm. Reminds me of Abyssea :D

We cleared it too, did you stay around for the 2nd pop ^_~
1st fight is childsplay, That is all -
10-05-2011, 04:55 PMActus
yeah we did

Yep. Didn't seem any different to the first.

Besides, a stronger second pop doesn't make any sense. It's not instanced. In theory, we could kill the easy one, return, and leave the next group with an ultra hard version.
That really doesn't sound likely. -

Kobold one is very hard. We tried with 4 people... epically failed. The pop so fast and link so much. It is fun though, I won't lie!
-
10-05-2011, 05:17 PMZirgonSoulo_O The 1st time he was alone. 2nd time he kept spawning Amaljaa classes at certain Hp % We had a huge amount of them on us and wiped. Not sure if that happened for you but our 2nd fight was intenseQuote:

Hmm I guess our 1st fight glitched or something then. He didnt pop any adds LOL o_O
Then when he respawned he popped with 2 others beside him..... -
10-05-2011, 06:22 PMClydey
That should always happen. Every time we fought him, he spawned brothers, sisters, etc.

Only got as far as the chest with 5 lvl44-50. In terms of getting there, it seems that the best way to go about it is to fight ur way through the constant pops and back your party into each gate to kill the guards. What did you guys get out of the chests, if you did open them?
-

We kept wiping on flamefist. He's a beast... Tried it 5-6 times...
Edit: Wow, none of the adds popped for you? We had brother, sisters, and drakes pop every time... -
10-06-2011, 10:08 AMTheFatHousecatSo far we've gotten two of the Bronze Keys, and they dropped a Peisteskin Hunting Belt and a Raptorskin Satchel Belt.Quote:

Grats. I have to agree that the kobold one seems more challenging though. I was wandering in to complete a GC quest for Limsa and got picked up by a party from another linkshell who had come to explore. The respawn times on the mobs in there is insane. Loads of fun and really intense. Not much chance to stop and heal anywhere, only option seems to be forward forward forward.

Me and my brother (50 PUG and 48 MRD) went in for kicks, it's a lot of fun. We got past the 3rd gate to what I think is the second chest. Tried to get it but we didn't know how to get the key so we left. Will definitely do again once I get more info.

10-06-2011, 09:29 PMDelsusThat word is taboo on these forums, too much mention and they might bring the same system over here which no one wants.Quote:

We're spamming it on Lindblum.
Key drop rate is very low. We dropped 1/10 atm.
Cobalt Shamshir inside the treasure -.- -
10-07-2011, 06:54 AMDragonheart
Yup, as Pop said, we dropped 1 gold key in about 2h farm so far... and only the stupid crafted sword dropped :S

We even killed it inside the cage to let him drop! .. But voodoo theory didn't work ç_ç

Has anyone tried any incapacitation things for the key drop? I wouldn't really know which to try tho. =P
-
10-07-2011, 08:38 AMTheFatHousecatIt's a low-rate drop from the mobs who protect each chest.Quote:

up, someone can confirm any good drop from gold chests?

I got a raptorskin subligar from the copper coffer, r47 lotsa jobs, pretty nice stas with +dex.
Having trouble getting past that last gate into the NM area, can sneak or fight through the place until last area with snipers and battle drake in a cage, then we get overwhelmed by links.
Only had around 10 ppl, have you guys gone through with more ppl or have you snuck through? tips for that last section before the NM would be greatly appreciated! -
