Hello!

I'm looking for a Twash Merc. Well correction, I'm looking for an average price for someone to farm me the mats to create Twash. Let me know! :)

Just kidding. Good luck finding your merc. I've heard Twash is one of the terribad ones to farm.

It was like 4am and I impulsively paid one of those shout RMT to farm me 50 glavoid shells for 90mil a few months ago. One of the best financial decisions I ever made in-game and RL.

I’d try one of them. You can pay them, turn on treasury, and go to bed and wake up to 50 glavoid shells in the morning.

Glavoids a killer but itzpapalotl and orthrus you can easily farm.

Twashtar is beast btw, totally worth it.

After 20 years, ignorance is bliss. Cipher taught me that.

It's not hard at all honestly. Sure, you got a lot of pain-in-the-*** pops with Glavoid (2 time, 2 pop NMs with subpops in each of them), but I recently helped a DNC friend of mine get hers (along with another 2 people helping her too) and it honestly took us ~4 hours. We did a combination of gold chest farming and actually killing the pops themselves (both pop NMs and time NMs).

In my opinion, it's not the worst part of getting Twash/Ukon. The worst part is all the trials leading up to the Abyssea areas.

If you aren't willing to do the first step, then you shouldn't even bother thinking about doing the second step.

obviously it goes a lot faster with 4 ppl than solo, especially if you farm gold chests. you can have multipel jobs that cover strengths and weaknesses (NIN or WAR for procs, THF for TH or maybe some mage for time or chests in general), you can distrbute extra KIs from chests that would go to waste playing solo.
with 4 ppl it might even be not that bad but solo it's just miserable. but who convinces 3 others to spend ~4 hours of their lives towards someone elses empy in 2021...

Yes, obviously with 4 other people (technically 6, since 1 was a tri-boxer) it would go much faster.

But guess what? We did it because we wanted to help her out. Everyone who helped her out knew that A) she didn't have as much time to play as the rest of us, B) she doesn't have nearly as much gear as the rest of us a C) we all wanted to help each other, and she helps us when we ask too.

Had zero to do with it. I did the exact same thing with dudes who asked for help like this. And I will continue to help others who ask for it. She put in the effort to get to the Glavoid stage, and I wanted to help her past it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing that, and you know it.

All I'm saying that is find people who are willing to help you for free instead of paying a merc to do it at inflated rates.

Or just spend a little bit of time doing it yourself. I doubt it would take more than 3 days to do it going 2-3 hours per day.

still sounds very optimistic, i remember farming Apademak's Horn in ilvl era which is pretty bad but i believe glavoid is worse. didn't have all procs so i went with thf, iirc it took me about a week.

Only thing that matters is how many other people are there. a pop every 20 minutes, 30 pops, 10 hours.

But that never happens cause there's always someone there going for dabess dagger for the "sit in my mog house" situational set.

Just let dood buy it if they want to.

I'm a loner/loser so I'd rather pay a merc 90mil than bother my friends to help me for 5 hours.

Plus I hate being indebted to people and the thought of having to help them for 5 more hours would kill me.

This, also you can find mercs less than 90m, ive seen them as low as 750k per item recently when times are desperate. Juts got to ask them and most will lower if there is competition.
