Abyssea Experiences

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Um . . . Grizzlebeard was saying that when you get disconnected and then log back in, you're put back in to the exact same standing you were in as before you got disconnected, minus any intermediate time spent. And presumably, the only reason that even that is lost is so people don't find some kind of silly exploit in logging off within Abyssea to bank their time.

What part of any of that is fail, particularly if you're trying to draw a connection to Besieged or Campaign?

I have 3 stones
I turn them in and begin exp'ing with a group.
30 mins in, I D/C because Mediacomm can't design a decent network in florida
I can't log back in for 2 hrs

I log in, get booted, have to wait an hour, get 3 more stones, and you come back and the EXP party has been going strong for 3 hours now, have 2 1/2 hours of time saved up from open chests, and your playing catch up.

If you have 3 stones left I mean, cause if you don't your hosed.

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Not to mention lately I've been getting booted off for no god damn reason. I just randomly get kicked off the server, or XBL too for that matter when I'm on my Xbox... no indication as to why, and I can usually re-connect right away. But that momentary disconnect is enough to screw me over, losing my chain & my lights.

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Nio, you shouldn't lose your light if you get D/C'd and get back on before your abyssea time runs out, but if your offline past how much time you had left in abyssea then yeah, you'll be pushed out and screwed.

By the way. The katakana on the JP POL site reads "a-bi-se-a." NOT "a-bi-shi."

So the event is properly pronounced "Abyss-e-a." PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop calling it "Aby-Sea."

Thank you for your time.

Did people really say that on vent or something? wow!

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Let's just pronounce it ABC and we can all be equally confused.

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Add one more A on to the end and you have a deal . . .

Re: Abyssea Experiences

It's very random but from what I've gleaned more people seriously need to get off their asses and do what I did;

Fish for Rusty Items by camp 4 in LTP until you have max fame and quest the Scarlet Abyssite of Kismet - It makes a huge difference.

Um, yeaaaaah. I tried that the other day. The main problem is that there are fished-up monsters. The Sentinel Crabs are at least 75.

I took my 76 WHM out there and fished at the pond by VC#04 (where the NPC is). I fished up two items and got KOed three times. RR3 FTW. Fishing for rusty items could be considered "getting off your ass", if there wasn't fished-up aggro involved. Then it's all down to having the "right" job.

On the other hand, I did get the key items from the Prospector. Another 3 minutes per stone is better than nothing, and anyone swimming in cruor who hasn't gotten them already is an idiot. For some reason they're temp key items, but checking wiki, there is no known way for them to disappear. WTF SE?

Thank you for your time.

Also, I have been informed (by a friend who used to play FFXI) that it's pronounced "bas-tuke" (rhymes with "nuke"), not "bas-tawk". :p

I also tried fishing up some items for quest and had the same issue. I was 80rdm so the crabs went down pretty fast for the crappy gear i had on me but i started getting pissed b/c i would fish them up 1/10 or so and just got plain annoying. That was two weeks ago and then this last weekend i did it again with the same gear and time my kills and totaled them up to see how much time i wasted kill these stupid crabs. i dont remember exact numbers but it was something like 15min or so out of an hour (+6min cuz of key item). Thats probably at least 3-4 more rusty items i could have fished up.

So the last time I went to go fish them up I slept them and just logged out and then logged back on. Lost no more than a minute each time. Dont know how well repose works on them but sleep II last at least 30 sec. save you a lot of time especially if your having to fight and die a couple times.

oh make sure you have the right bait....i accidently use the bait that fished up the NM....needless to say it didnt end well

I found an Abyssite of Avarice and an Abyssite of Destiny yesterday. Isn't having Widescan wonderful?

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Abyssite of Avarice and an Abyssite of Destiny

And what do those do, might I ask?

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Abyssite of Avarice increases the amount of Traverser Stones you can carry by 1.
Abyssite of Destiny improves the quality of items in item (not temporary items) chests.

Both are from Ephemeral Clionid and Ephemerald Limule in Tahrongi.
