You mean the giant fuckoff

Dragon Statue.. thingy

that can wipe out massively overpowered players relatively easily? I mean, sure it's no raid boss, but it IS only Generation 3. It was probably a big deal when generation 3 was new. Not like it was designed to withstand all the new stuff that's come out. Plus you can only bring two other players to help.

Whats this, double AP!?

B-but Final Fantasy... but... DOUBLE AP.

I need a clone.

Yeah, I was gonna say. Cromm is pretty much a guarenteed one shot with any of his abilities, I dunno how he got the reputation of being easy. I mean yeah you can hide behind fire places but that's because that's litterally the only way to beat him cleanly that doesn't turn the entire thing into a clusterfuck.

Lore time!

Spoiler: WHAT'S A CROMM CRUIACH (G3 plot spoilers) (click to show/hide)

Okay so G3 involves cichol taking a girl named Triona, who is said to be an incarnation (a qualifier that is apparently based entirely around hair color) of macha (for more about macha see Iria The Saga, the short version is she's the third babd cath goddess and is focused around war and vengeance, and needless to say she is not a pleasent customer in any situation), they get her to baol, begin the rites, and it fails due to the statue the entire thing was built around breaking. So, cichol takes the next best thing and summons Cromm Cruiach, who is a near divine dragon and macha's pet.

So yeah, I basically just wanted to say it's not a random dragon it is related to macha in some way. Also I wanted to rant about lore for a little bit.

I spent most of the day leveling my battle pegasus. I got it to level 37 so far and I am aiming for 60 before the end of the week.

While messing around with it, I realized that you can use any of its skills while riding. Those include defence, smash, counter, bolts spells and, of course, holy rush (no windmill sadly). Now here's what's interesting... you can also use lance charge while riding, like most other mounts. So it is possible to use defence/counter while using a lance. I'm in love. This pet is my new best friend.

On another note, I'm almost at G9 finale with Seikyu. There's no way I can solo this, so I would like to ask some help to do this either tomorrow or Monday. G9 finale is really bad, so the more people the better.


Edit: It's worth mentioning that the skills used are the pet's, although you add damage of your own, and thus use the pre-genesis mechanic: with loading time instead of cooldown. Still, I can only imagine the damage potential of a smash - holy rush - lance charge combo.

[SirAaronIII]

I can do it. I'll also drag my horse along, because my horse needs the levels too.

[Girlinhat]

I'm in.

[Kaitol]

Man. Why did they make rafting so party unfriendly. No one wants to take anyone with them. Only got two runs. I wonder how well I would do soloing....

Edit: Probably terribly. Not even worth trying past me. Man I must be tired. Worst idea I ever had.

You are repeatedly negative about everything...  I've ALWAYS maintained a very forward 'let's go rafting' stance.

True and I'll had that you always invited people even if it is only to leech exploration exp.

I'm not too fond of rafting myself, but often agree to go along with whoever goes. Well, not really "often", but still... You, Kaitol that is, need to ask the right people. If some random people asked to go with me, I would probably refuse as well. Randoms are usually not welcome in my activities Lots of people think the same way.

[Kaitol]

That... doesn't really apply if you're not on when I am? I sent you a friend invite and figured I'd just wait around and try to pick up some runs until you got on. Did that for... 2-3 hours, then I logged off to do things. Got on again around... 7ish, and while you had accepted the invite, you were no longer on.

A case of missed passings and whatnot...

I wasn't talking about guildies when I said that. I was talking about all the people that went rafting solo while I sat there with my empty party. And I wasn't even criticizing them, but rather questioning the design choice to make you get half the reward for every person participating, which leads to the people doing it not wanting to group up unless they have a vested interest in helping you (guildmate) or just take pity on you.

[majikero]

Are you doing it for exploration exp? You can always go hot-air ballooning. You only need rank 5 firebolt, chaincast wand, meditation and all equipment slots enchanted with ice.

If you have the needed firebolt rank, I can get you the ice and lend my wand.

[SirAaronIII]

Rank 5 firebolt is a pretty major investment. Plus even at r1 it's still kinda hard to oneshot the hungry ones. I need to work on my masteries.

If you're really desperate for exploration exp then you could buy an l-rod and run around Cor village. This is slower and less exciting than pretty much everything else but it's very doable alone and at low levels.

It is a worthy investment however. It's also easier to get than anything that would allow solo rafting. The main issue however is the amount of MP potions needed. Not everyone was there during the last few fishing events and got stockpiles of those.

Honestly, it isn't much slower than rafting. A lot less "exciting" (don't find rafting all that exciting to be fair, and hot-air ballooning even less), but it can be done anytime without help. So, doing that for 20-30 minutes every now and then is good enough each rebirth.

Either way, I wouldn't bother trying to get much higher than exploration level 15, unless you can easily solo either rafting or hot-air ballooning: i.e. 60+ stars per ride for rafting and maximum for balloon.

[SirAaronIII]

It turns out that lucky rabbit feet actually are pretty good for ego feeding. So if you want some of those hit me up. Got too many of these +1 boosting ones, which aren't worth using for anything else. Weird, I thought NPC resell value had to do with the exp your ego got when fed, and feet sell for 0.

And yeah, exploration levels are really slow and annoying to get past 15. Luckily, probably the next big revamp after the alchemy/magic and cooking ones is going to be for exploration, but that'll probably be months from now.

[Girlinhat]

I'm hoping they touch Archery.  It hasn't been updated at all since the Elves were added...
