Just piping in here to say thanks - I'm at my first one of these now on SAM trying to do it up and it seems to be going okay.

Boo @ Great Katana and Scythe not having really low damage weapons - I got the lowest dmg one I could from NPCs, but it's still taking a big chunk out of the target too quickly for my liking ;)

Oh well, I also brought out a Trainee Sword and an Ash Club lol

This whole thing just gives people a reason to save up those event weapons now.

Capped Great Sword and Great Axe now on these. Now for the faster weapons...

Yeah, I was looking at the Wiki at GKs and saw the Feast of the Swords ones that I never bothered doing. I also wondered if I have enough Fellow Points to get the GK there... sadly, I'm already in the Castle as we speak and don't really want to go back to Jeuno just to find out I don't, if I don't :/

Oh well... next time I guess...

PS - also look into the Trainee items for crafting. Look up Trainee Sword and scroll to the bottom of the page for other weapons w/ 1 DMG and a reasonably delay.

Just an FYI in case anyone was planning on doing this...
The items purchased with Fellow Points are merely for show and used by your NPC. You don't actually receive anything.

Remember to idle in as much haste gear as you have if your are going to use base relic. I doubt accuracy will be a problem but your going to hit slower than a semi.

The Chaosbringer with 666 Delay was bad enough for Great Sword, I couldn't stand to skill up with a Relic.

Have fun with that.

for anyone having troubling hitting too much damage, try cursed soup. If you're hitting anything over 1-2, then cursed soap will make a noticeable diff w/ it's str-7. get food sanction and you'll be good to go for a long time.

I'll definitely have to try this. Thanks!

i was using 2 low lvl swords one with 5 dmg the other with, so i off handed the 8 dmg sword thinking this would "help" still whaking them for 10+ dmg but missing so i dont wanna take off occ gear

that cursed soup you mentioned would that do the trick enough to bring it down to 2ish dmg per hit?

You don't want to have that 8 dmg sword.

Quest this


* Speak with Titus at the 2nd floor of the Alchemy Guild in Bastok Mines, at (L-7). In a cutscene, you will be asked to procure twenty grains of gold dust from Grauberg.
o He will give you the key items Prospector's Pan and Corked Ampoule to do this.
* Make your way to (F-13) at Grauberg (S) to find the Riverbed, a spot in the river that can be targeted.
* Examine it and choose one of the given options to start scooping and how roughly to do it.
* Once you have the 20 grains you will receive the key item: Ampoule of Gold Dust
o If you leave the area before you get the 20 grains, you'll have to start over.
o See the Discussion page for successive methods though it does not matter if you fail to find any gold. You will merely need to try again.
* Return to Titus for another cutscene and your reward.

or if you did the event


If you're not up to the quest and don' thave the event sword, then just use 2 onion swords, butt he 8 dmg sword is gonna get you many less skill ups in the end since you're dealing more damage.

As for how much it woudl reduce damage, not sure if that much. My DMG 3 great sword does 5-8 or 9ish w/o the soup and 3-5 w/ it on.

Acc gear is great, try not to wear anything w/ str tho, but yea, def 8 DMG sword has to go.

Rawr, just throwing my two cents in ...

You can get magic aggro if you're say, trying to skill up your elemental magic. Not from the demon's elemental, but from the elementals that spawn during weather. One just came by and put me on ice.


Didn't even notice what was going on...

Might have better luck with the two inside the castle, If you position yourself right should be able to avoid eye aggro.

Finished GSD and GAX (well gax finished for 74 I'll finish the rest next time I use war). May do sword and club for the hell of it. Anyone know a way to auto fire on /ra or do you have to do it manually? Could do throwing and marksmanship

have logged plenty of afk time there and I have never been GM called from the looks of it. Even put up my /away sign and would go to work or sleep and wake up still there.

Dunno thought, may get checked if you are doing RA.

Unfortunately for me, parrying is the only thing still uncapped, I hit 200 a few months ago and haven't seen a single skill-up since :/

It's not like it's a fishing bot, you're using the game mechanics alone.. They gonna start banning people for playing the game in the fashion it was intended now, too? (Yeah, yeah I know they probably didn't have this in mind when they put up these Fortalice's.. But it's not exactly an 'exploit', and it's damn sure not a bot or using an illegal 3rd party program)
