It comes from the new Omen, which, if I'm not mistaken, requires all 5 new KIs from the original bosses to access the boss. I'm not sure if it's listed, but this is probably required for all 6 party members (maybe) to be able to select Ou.

Just the party leader needs 5KI:

Quote:
* The instance owner must be in possession of five key items to test their mettle against this boss. The other players need not be in possession of these items, but any they have will be removed upon entry.

The 2nd part kind of sucks...

Oh I missed this. Wow, that's extremely shitty.

That basically means that everyone in a static/group can only fight Ou once every 6 runs, and it's not spammable and repeatable back to back, unless you switch players and have a different person lead the run nightly.

That sure is one way to keep the drops exceedingly desirable and rare: Once every 6 fights, and super rare drop rate, divided by 6 lotters....

Or if you have mules, have extra mules leach and rotate through them and do Ou more than every 6 runs. Since nothing scales over 6 and you can take an alliance it doesn't hurt anything. Maybe this is SE's secret plan to have people buy extra accounts.

Comical idea, but I'm sure this is what some will do now. I actually can't understand the reasoning behind removing the KIs from others in your party. In that case, its probably better just sitting in town waiting for an Ou shout and never doing other Omen boss clears, if you're only after just ou drops. So stupid.

Has anyone else had an issue trying to hold 2 canteens for omen? The gobbie just says he is able to use magic on me 1 more time but says I already have a canteen. But my key item list only shows one in there.

I have a canteen on me and when I tried to get another goblin said this:

"Incantrix : I's able to use my magic on your breath 2 more times."

So I assume instead of holding 2 KI on your person it just holds charges on the goblin.

Checked this myself when I logged in this morning. It's like Assault tags, you can hold one and the NPC can hold another two, so three possible runs in one day. \o/

Edit:(More then likely still under the same recharge time as before)

Actually, they didn't. They worded it exactly the way they always word things, with a bit of ambiguity and speculation, but falls true to their wording:

Quote:
Up to two mystical canteens may now be held at once

They never indicate who would be holding the extra canteen, so technically they are right.

They do this ***all the time.

Depends on what the group needs.
^ this.
BRD can DD too, granted it's nowhere close to COR but on some mobs with the right gear numbers can be nice.

BRD now has the best versatility of all support jobs, has some mildly useful debuffs and its buffs are quite potent.
But they're also quite plain.

COR has a plethora of unique buffs. COR can buff Pet jobs, can give all sort of strange/rare buffs etc.

If we have a semi-decent WHM I have my BRD DD all the time. If I got a static WHM again I might get him to come /DNC so he can actually go at it. He's parsed as high as 11% on WoC (granted only 2 actual DD's and a crappy COR involved in the fight) but he did basically keep up with the average COR.

Of course he keeps up with cors when said cor spent the fight face planted and stunned. I managed to get off 2 ws.

Anyone got details on the new shield quest? Friend is saying he ended up getting the shield back and losing his +1 skill on it. Trying to figure out if we missed a step.

Ah, it looks like he might have accidentally cancelled the quest with the NPC in PJ. Why that is even an option, I don't know. It seems he's going to have to start over and redo all of the +1 quest again.
