Has anybody done testing on the easiest way to achieve capped Imperial Standing Accolades during Besieged? The most recent update gave us the following:

"The system that was applied to certain monsters has been revised, with players now earning a contribution level based on their actions rather than a set amount, and experience points will be awarded according to their performance."

I have since done 3 Besieged. The first one I killed two mobs, then spent the rest of the time curing and hasting NPCs/Generals/Random players. Capped at 400.

Second Besieged, I fought no monsters and only buffed/hasted NPCs/Generals (Prot 3/Shell 3/Haste). Less than 200

Third I did the same only buffing NPC/Generals, this time adding cures, less than 200 again.

Nobody bothers with it because its not 100%, its the same ***drop rate as the other slots.

My point is there's already a system in place for Lilith that unlocks an additional drop slot, just nobody bothers doing it.

I still don't see the infatuation with terrible drop rates to begin with, and then measures to improve the drop rate later. And they still haven't learned their lesson with Limbus matter, which is another problem. Idk, just stop making fights with ridiculously bad drop rates and make them reasonable (not guaranteed, but not excessively long either). Seems like more work fixing these fights multiple times instead of just getting it right the first time (CoD)

Bump!

I'm still on the lookout for a casual/small group setting to do events with. Anyone looking to expand their roster?

PM or reply!

Thanks!

The amount of times ive seen people say you need to farm lilith when theyre starting out, it only makes sense to target that set as it makes getting everything else easier (should just change the rates to be more in line with other htbs and do the same with shinryu but ah well)

Some weeks ago I asked info about 2 pets in the Mog Garden that I couldn't seem to evolve.
Korrigan and Adenium.
Both don't have an evolution food, both were 3 stars, I was trading a "good" food, but couldn't get them to evolve after more than 1 week (I think about 10 days).
I followed the suggestion Eiryl gave me (that is: perform the good interaction, but feed them NO food at all and leave them on "evolve" parental status).
Result? In 2 days they both evolved.

Maybe coincidence and they would've evolved anyway, or maybe it's not, up to you guys to decide but for the time being I'm just sharing the experience!

If a new player asked you to help them prioritize which HTMB to do, you'd say Lilith first and Shinryu last. It's basically an easier foot in the door for newer players and those who don't have a full group at their disposal to unlock extra drop slot.

Been a few days now since the event started, does anyone know if the new sword/shield drop there? I haven't gotten lucky enough to see it yet.

That's what I meant by "identical proc system", but I wasn't clear in referring to the original system

If they were smart they would use the same procs OG Shinryu has for OG cloak.

Why make an upgraded fight with an upgraded cloak and completely ignore the very mechanic that exists already in the OG and has to be used to get the OG cloak.

I wonder why they're doing this for Lilith "only", isn't there a "method" to improve drop rates in that fight already? Spitewarden kills. Shinryu should just have an identical proc system for drops on its own. Lilith drop rates are nowhere near as bad as Shinryu, seems like it should be both

Neat.

But also, shhhhhhhh! :)

Literally laughing my *** off if you think they're gonna do this for Shinryu.

It's Lilith and bust, nothing else.

Mildly Infuriating how this gets "potentially added" after literally 0/350+ VD solo runs of Shinryu. Most of us bought the remaining pieces we never got from Trove, Or grinded the living ***out of Lilith for that last Malignance piece. They got it "right" with Cloud Of Darkness, so I guess they're "fixing" past time sinks?

"Better late than never" eh whatever; why isn't this the system from the beginning? Sinister Reign solo path is equally horrendous. Just insulting implementation.

The way the system should be
Atleast theres a sense of progression instead of going 0/300++++ on that last piece.

If I remember right in 14 you got "shards" on rare items like mounts and after you get 50 you can turn them in for the mount.

You could still get the drop after the fight but if you were unlucky it was guaranteed after your 50 shards.

Something like that could work well and you could even tier the "shards" based on difficulty. VE - 1, E - 2, N - 3, D - 4, VD - 5.

SE STF has entered the chat

If they're really adding better-than-Lilith armor it makes sense to make acquisition of Lilith armor only easier.

Mostly for selfish reasons, I am hoping for a guaranteed KI on VD that lets you choose any armor piece you want.

Most likely - you downloaded a probably dodgy addon and it's speedhacking you.

yeah I'm familiar with fastcs and how that interacts. It's a lot faster. I jump pretty far ahead of them as long as it's going on and I can't make it stop. I try to do FrameRateDivisor 2 to lower to 30 but it doesn't change the FPS and I keep going fast. It usually happens in small hallways where there's very little going on around me.

I don't know how to measure how fast I'm going. I just had a friend walk next to me at the same time to make sure it's not just the odd animation of being higher than 60fps and I start gaining a lot of ground until it stops and he said it looks like i'm running faster on his screen too

You mean SalaryDog

They are making a new game, looks like a cosy genre where you farm and stuff.

Usually when fps uncapps via something like fastcs you don't really run faster you just animate faster

If you are really running faster than the person, how much faster?

The way I would hope they do it, is if an item you own drops (that normally doesn't display since you already own that R/E thing) it instead loads a shard from now on. Then if you get 5/10 of those you can trade for a specific item from an npc.

When someone mentioned it over voice in dynamis I thought they were adding a useable decanter like item.

A default system would be great

Imma edit the OP with that link, Rad.

You can periodically scan for mobs by name and automatically send info based on that instead of having the user manual signal when they see a NM
