Yeah I was camping Sanctus Seru for the earning pieces yesterday for HOURS and got a shit load of them.
It's too bad the chocolates aren't as good as the Christmas Cookies/Milk. Inny gives out some decent looking weapon illusions, at least.

Also, fuck the drop rates of those earing quest reports when this server is usually much more fast pace. I farmed some Bixxies before Luclin dropped, how hard are they to get now?

Yeah I specifically had trouble with the "eye" report, I think it was? I think I was there for like 4-5 hours to farm 2 of those things. the others seem to drop way quicker, couple of clears of top 2 floors and youre set. But yeah, spent the better part of the day there farming those stupid things, but at least got both earnings done. Just bought the heads they were pretty cheap. LOl, thats why I had so many fucking flowers.

You might be able to kill Seru +0 with hard cast heals from SHM and you can slow him with the SHM only disease slow. He is close to immune with magic, but taps occasionally land; just not enough to keep me up as Wiz.

They added bixie parts to the bixies in plane of mischief. There's around 12-15 of them in the forest area at the start of the zone and I got at least 10 drops per respawn cycle in a respawning instance of it, so pretty high drop rate off them.

Hmm, they were cheap when I purchased them, like 100pp a pop maybe it was 500? Just yesterday! Now people are getting ridiculous with prices, lol.

I did it. Killed all the Luclin stuff (minus VT, haven't touched it yet.)

Failed emp first time yesterday, then I got heal AA's and my pets were able to solo it with some healing. Mage epic pet is pretty wild. Finsihed up all the other stuff in ssra today.

Seru is the end boss of Luclin (that would be mostly equivalent to Sleeper in Velious), although the two slimes at the end of VT are kinda annoying, in that they hit hard and have too much hp. Then after Seru, there is hard mode Seru +1, +2, +3, and +4.

I'm not sure any of the Seru hard modes are worth it. The make him have a higher and higher percent chance to drop good augments, but someone in chat said the nerfed the upgrade rate of the augs recently, or some such. I don't think non hard mode Seru can drop an augment, but he still has nice items.

I was really referring to the unlock mobs. I forgot about Seru. 😜

I gotta try all that too.

The Seru with buffs are not easy or possible by all combos solo. Need 2 or 3 people to win those.

I tried Seru +1 with petcuck and got him down to around 50% before running out of mana. I was spamming high cost taps, so might have been able to get more efficient but it was just too annoying to keep running back (I was too lazy to clear all the mobs up to him because this time I'm going to kill him).

Non hard mode (Seru +0) was fairly "easy" with petcuck, just had to be quick on the AoE pet heals and LoS his spells (creep around a corner column so you can cast on him). Too bad on hard more he AoE summons every 5 seconds or some such.

So, I've been playing this a ton now that I discovered it. Playing as a War/Clr/Bst and have unlocked Velious so far. Trying to do this mostly without buying gear in the bazaar, but I've made a few exceptions, mostly for lengthy camp items like Pearlescent fragments for my cleric epic. I haven't bought anything that drops off of a mob that I can't personally kill. I am a fucking scrub though. Vindi pushed my shit in, so I'm trying to gear up and grind some more AAs.

Tons of fun though and already thinking about rolling another toon. Was thinking SK/SHM/BER. Anyone know if that combo works well together or not?

You're better off using the level 50 or level 60 summoned hammer for war/clr/bst. Summoned hammer with a lifetap offhand, lifetap weapon upgrade track for me was Blood Point (bought this one)-> Scimitar of Lifestealing (VP) -> Gharns (Vulak).

Makes sense to me. I had actually switched to the epic from the summoned hammer at someone's suggestion, but was never convinced it was really any better. I'm using a Paebala Warbone in the offhand right now because it's got a DD proc that's slightly better than the SSOY, which was what I was using previously. Lifetap procs sound great though.

I;ve also had some people recommend avatar proc weapons to me from ST. Obviously they come with a bunch of stats too. You think the lifetap proc would be superior though?

I'd personally only bother with avatar wep to maybe switch out on some boss fights, but even then most of your stats will be maxed soon enough so all you are really getting is attack. I just don't see how losing a damage proc for a build based on procs could possibly be worth it.

I rolled a monk/zerc/cleric just the other day and he slaps, well so far, hehe, hes only lv 55 or some shit with no AA, but Ive read that this is a good combo so trying it. Like Kirun Kirun here suggested, ranger/... I rolled a ranger bard SK but I think im going to switch the SK to cleric because the SK does not really do anything. But well see. Hes got like 350 AA so far, needs way more to come online, plus leveled up gear. Ive been just running raids with my main and feeding these guys the good shit.

SK/SHM/ZER should work fine. SHM is a little out of place with that build because with ZER you're relying on white damage, but it's not like SHM doesn't get things to help white damage, just not at quite the level CLR does.

I'm sure you can eke out a little bit more damage if you keep avatar up but it will be a tiny amount since 80% of your damage is from proc damage not melee. I just ride lazy mode and have done up to seru+2, only swapping between st (hammer + tap) for bosses and aoe (2x fayguard bladecatcher) for trash.
