I really like the new monk gear. I was wondering if you already have the abj from oldschool sky days if you just need to get the new upgrade items to boost it to i119?

Any thoughts on the new zone? I like that you get more JP's then in the Other escha zone.

The old Abj are NOT needed. In fact having old uncursed gear you want to use is kinda bad. If you want to use old uncursed armor you need to recurse it with the SAME old abjuration to its original material. SE really overdid themself here.


To craft new gear:
- Buy/craft/recurse old cursed gear
- Craft it again to new cursed gear. Expenses heavily depend on type. Old -1 armor have a higher CHANCE of new +1 but NOT guaranteed. Their craft is simple and inexpensive. Old NQ gear has an expensive and high craft with a low +1 chance. BLM armor runs 3-4 Mil because of the use of a Defiant Sweat. Other Armors are cheaper because they use cheap materials like Bztavian Wing.
- Get a new abjuration from Escha Ru'Aun. Drop pools seem larger this time around and NMs are generally meaner with adds popping out of T2 and T3 NM.

Thanks for this, haven't seen much info around since it's so new. I didn't see any new Vexed/Bewitched stuff on AH yet, so may have just not looked hard enough.

I'll settle for the NQ versions for now myself, HQ's are still a goal for the long term. If I decide to keep playing for long after November.

Gonna repost here what I posted in that thread. This goes out to all the people looking for more Crimson/Carmine:

The best way to acquire handful of wyvern scales in large volumes:

1) Find a location where there are some wyverns. I prefer Ifrit's Cauldron at Vouivre, but Riverne B home point, Kuftal basement, Jade Sepulcher home point all work, and I might be forgetting some other spots.
2) Go as either THF or a job with very good fast cast.
3) Summon Nanaa Mihgo trust and engage some wyverns. For whatever reason, her success rate with Despoil (which earns you what she nabs) is much higher than players.
4) Here's the tricky part: Triggering Nanaa's Despoil seems to be based on either hate you've accumulated on the enemy or damage you've dealt, I need to test this more. On Hurricane Wyverns, as THF I melee them down to 50% and then turn, and she'll regularly Despoil. The superstitious part of me thinks it might happen more if she's closer and behind the enemy but that's probably not the case.
5) After killing the wyvern, resummon her and repeat. Farming in Ifrit's is nice since there are 4 or 5 spawns (depending on Vouivre window, and he himself will drop a scale) in one small location.

By the way, during this BCNM event, enemies in KC/HKC fights can drop Penelope's Cloth, Staghorn Coral, Sealord Skin, Belladonna Sap, Serica Cloth, and Scarletite Ingot. Tenzen II also drops Scarletite on all difficulties at a not terrible rate.

There are a couple of thf trusts, is Nanaa the only one that despoils?

As far as I know, yes. If someone has access to more of them, I'd be interested in knowing if they will use it.

The 119 cursed/hexed gear is crafted using the old cursed/hexed gear. You then take an abjuration from the new sky NMs to uncurse them. The synths from old to new are much simpler and have a higher HQ rate using old HQs. Synths using old NQs require an extra subcraft, 2 extra materials (generally from Vagary, Delve, Unity, and merit BCs), and are higher in skill, hurting the HQ rate.

Also, if you have uncursed gear, you can re-curse them using Synergy with the abjuration and a Colossal Skull for NQs, or Umbral Marrow for HQs.

Old cursed gear is crafted into bewitched (nq) and voodoo (hq) gear. Old hexed gear is crafted into vexed and vexed-1 gear.

Trade those along with the appropriate abjuration from Escha - Ru'aun to the same guy in Northern San d'Oria.

After that, augments can be applied by Nolan in Norg.

If you buy a Hexed (cursed 99) item off AH, you will need a crafter to upgrade it to Vexed/Jinxed (cursed 119 NQ/HQ). There is a small chance you will get the HQ.

Oh no, uncursing/recursing won't change whether it's HQ or NQ. The only time when it can go from HQ to NQ is the synth from 99 to 119. I was gonna draw a big diagram but I keep getting sidetracked.

Example 1: You buy voodoo cuisses, and have the abjuration. It will become carmine cuisses +1 no matter what.
Example 2: You buy bewitched cuisses, and have the abjuration. It will become carmine cuisses no matter what.
Example 3: You have some blood cuisses. You'll need wyrmal abjuration: legs and an vial of umbral marrow, and a synergist. Use synergy to strip the augments, and then combine the abjuration, cuisses, and marrow to create cursed cuisses -1. Then find an Alchemist; the cuisses + chunk of eschite ore + dark crystal has a tier 1 chance of becoming voodoo cuisses, but will probably become bewitched cuisses.
Example 4: You bought some cursed cuisses on AH one day. An Alchemist with Bonecraft at 70 could use those + chunk of eschite ore + vial of plovid effluvium + Emperor Arthro's shell at a tier 0 chance of making voodoo cuisses, very likely will end up with bewitched cuisses

He's a little off on his #s for ingredients required, but the rest of it is a good read. You should need roughly 100 sets, not 200. Base 10% HQ rate for 1st synth since T1, then add in rings and food. You should get 10+ HQs. Using that, 1 of those 10+ should give you a new cursed HQ.

Tier 1 is a 1/16 rate rather then 10% so a 1/12 after you account for rings and food.

Hmm, I had 10% stuck in my head from years and years ago. So I see why he'd say 200 with 1/16 (it would be 196 needed), but who would be crazy enough to synth these without both rings and food? So 144 would be needed.
