Onion Armor

[zanshin87]

Hi,
I have a Dragoon friend who has tried 60 times to get Onion Armor and now he is whining and want to quit because he can't get it. Is this normal? Also he seems depressed. Is Onion Armor really that hard to get? I'm a level 24 Gladiator can I help him? Does anyone agree that he should just quit? He is also gimp. TY

Onion Armor is an armor obtained through the Crystal Tower I believe. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, as I haven't gotten that far yet. So unless you have access to the Crystal Tower, I don't think there's gonna be anyway you're gonna be able to help your friend.

Farming in any game takes a while to do, whether you're lucky or not. I don't think he should just quit because he can't seem to get it. Just tell him to farm to his patience limit, take some time off, take a breather, build up his patience and come back and try again.

If his level of desire for this armor is high enough, this much is achievable.

The Onion Set is obtained through Crystal Tower.

Unless you can run about 18 runs a week (45-90 minutes depending on alliance per run) and you have no competition within your party... you really cannot expect to get a specific piece of gear.

My first 2 weeks of CT, got the exact piece I wanted on the first run of each week. --- This is not common...in fact, I think SE was repaying me for an awful 2 months of Coil. Last week, I had to take a piece I didn't want on Sunday...this week, hope my luck is better but its Friday and I am not holding out hope.

Trust me, if your friend is upset about CT not dropping a specific piece of gear...and wants to quit. It may be better for him to follow through and quit. Because if he thinks this is bad, Coil will make his head explode. You can't re-run Coil... if you don't get a drop in a week...you don't get a drop. You can finish Coil on Monday and not get a drop and just have to sit on your hands and hope that the next Monday something drops.

I would suggest kind of making a wish list. Have 3 pieces in mind for each week of CT. You can say hey, my #1 priority hasn't dropped by Thursday night...maybe I should open this up to my #1 and #2...if they don't drop by Saturday night. Have all 3 pieces in play. 1 of 3 pieces should be able to drop...if not...just grab something. HA!

Thanks I sent him a link to the forum and he feels encouraged by what he read. You are both very helpful people thank you for your time. ~(^-^)~ one day he won't be gimp

I really wouldn't use the word gimp. Shoot, we all start somewhere.

If anything, running a lot of CT will net you a great amount of Philo and Myth. Shoot, if he has his heart set on the Onion Body piece and doesn't get it in 2 weeks...well he just saved up for the Wyrm body which is significantly better anyway...

Here reports WHM who have tried to get Royal robe (healer body) since patch came out in December.... No luck so far... And as Allegan body is better then Cleric's I am waiting for drop in coils instead of buying myth one and then simply throwing it out afterwards....
But yeah.... He should buy myth armor instead - a lot better and will not make him run until he is sick and tired of CT (as I am) ^^
