  • New Avatar Fights

    OK, i'm working on the Uber Avatars atm.

    So far you talk to Carbuncle at the spot you started your SMN Job quest.
    Then you fight the avatars in an alliance.

    My alliance is 12xSMN 3xRDM 2xBLM 1xWHM(me)

    We took down Ifrit and then Titan with no problem at all.
    We went to Garuda, and while we won 1st try, it took a while and we had problems, and several people died including me. (Took a while to Raise III everyone that died being the only WHM.)

    Leviathan was too easy for us.

    Shiva was a pain in the butt just because of sleepga and the fact nobody brought poisons. Other than that, wasn't too bad.

    Ramuh was fairly easy, just a pain cuz of Paralyze spamming.

    Looks like we gotta go talk to Carbuncle in La Thiene again, now.

    On to Full Moon Fountain:
    Opens up w/ Carbuncle Prime. 75% he dissappears and summons an avatar (in my case Ifrit). Kill Ifrit, and he will come back (health stayed same), take him down to 50%, he disappears and summons 2 avatars (In my case Titan and Ramuh). Kill these 2 and he comes back (w/ his 50% health still). Take him down to 25% and he dissappears and summons the final 3 avatars (in my case Shiva, Garuda, and Leviathan). Kill all 3, and then 5 Carbuncles will come out w/ the single Carbuncle's HP. That's as far as we got when time ran out...

    Overall, the avatars aren't too hard, and nowhere near the strength of the ones fought before. The fact we ran out of time probably wasn't helped by the fact some people ditched us to go to bed after the last one...We didn't try again cuz even more people decided it was too late at that time. Guess I'll have to try again in the future. Just a side note, though, Fenrir's 2hr only did 50-60 Dmg to each Carbuncle.

    EDIT: OK, I got invited to another PT when I was down there. We tried again. Ran out of time this time but we did much better, got down to 2 Carbuncles left and realized elemental avatars do more damage than Fenrir.

    We ended up winning third time! 2 minutes left but a win is a win! All that dropped was Garuda's Sickle. Oh ya, and we got a Carbuncle Pole (which sucks). Biggest waste of time ever.

    Where did you go to enter the fight? Does one protocrystal start a fight with three?

      Each protocrystal starts thier own fight just like always. The battlefield is the exact same.

        Re: New Avatar Fights

        Ah, we just died to Titan Prime. We had almost all mages, a ninja and paladin, and five melee DD. The melee DD party went down first because of all the chaos from the elementals. They're not to be joked around with. It hit me, a 72 Drg, for 100+ each hit and a wimpy 2-10 damage extra.

        So this is just another mage onry battle.

        Edit: You can see below how our second attempt went. At about 20% health...

              Took me 3 times, but I finally got victory...not sure it was worth it, though.

              Oh ya, and I ended quest and all I got was:
              Carbuncle Pole
              DMG:55 Delay:402 CHR+4 TP Bonus
              Latent Effect: Light Damage
              Enchangment: Recover HP
              Lv.72 MNK/WHM/BLM/RDM/PLD/BRD/RNG/SMN
              0/30 0:00/[10:00, 0:30]>


              If I knew that was the reward I wouldn't have wasted my time.

              Square Enix obviously has a sick sense of humor.

                  ok so just that i understand this:


                  Go through all that (which is like...a lot) and the only thing you get is 1 of the avatar weapons and the carbuncle pole.....


                  in other words a complete and utter waste of time?

                      Hmm waste lots of time to possibly get a reward. Looks like S-E is just making another time sink for people. Heard that the drop rate for the items from the avatar battles is 0-2. So you can possibly get no items at all...fun....not :x

                          That quest reward is -really- dissapointing...Hopefully there's some sort of random drops that are just hard to get. :/

                            Well, I think you guys are missing the point they intended.

                            1) the battle is meant to be fun, something slightly challenging and NEW to do..
                            and
                            2) you get a pole... it's decent. But the thing is, it's RARE. No one else has it. It's like a status symbol to be one of the first few to have beat the uber avatars..

                            That's the way I see it at least..

                              Oh I'm not dogging on it by any means. I am actually in the roster to run it tonight. I'm just saying... it's kind of anticlimactic. Kind of like... Taking your girl out, spending time together and then getting blue balls if you know what I mean. Haha!
