The Coliseum keeps freezing up on me to the point I have to reset it. Ugh. I was really hoping things would go smoother this year. Oh, and every chest I've opened thus far has had the familiars from last year in it. Am I the only one who's a bit irked that they put those back in? It seems they are the ones with the highest drop rates too. So not only are the chests harder to find, but when I do finally manage to find one, it's filled with nothing I even remotely want/need. *sigh*

If anyone here actually still needs bears from last year, please let me know by PM. I seem to be cursed with finding them. Hopefully I can at least help someone else out.

At least you've FOUND some chests. So far I haven't found a single one. And, like I said in the other thread, I've been at this coli crap for like an hour. Are any of the zones better? I can only do the rainforest and below but SUPPOSEDLY they're all okay. If all things are equal I should probably pick some super lowbie zone I can blast through fast, but I dunno...

someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Eee thank you Falcon :hug: Still don't know how I used up all my green goo of all of the materials O_o

Nacht: I've got 15 chests so far, 1 from gathering. I found most of the coli drops in the arena - the NotN mobs there seem to be more frequent due to less enemy types compared to the other venues. Maybe give that a shot? Though I've also been farming for about 4 hours and did get lucky enough to get 2 chest drops from the same fight twice, so results may vary.

Rest in peace mum. I really did love and miss you, even if I never got to see you.

Hours in the arena (about 2).

Not a SINGLE chest. Not one. Nothing.

I started a chest brewing (even though I had to buy like 40k of mats)... at this rate it's probably the only one I'll ever see. :P

It always sucks having bad luck on the first day, but just remember we've got 2 whole weeks guys. :hug: Stay positive, I'm sure we'll all get more chests as the event goes on. :)

I feel like they nerfed the chest drop rate because we can brew them at Baldwin's now.... which is fucking shit because some people don't give a fuck about Baldwin's and don't have all the mats needed. Like me. -.- I gave up hucking shit into the pot a long time ago, and I'm still only on level 6 as a result and any of the material I do have is either not enough or not useful at all for the damn recipe. Ugh.

Yeah, nothing either for me. And I haven't hardly touched the coliseum since I've come back, so trying to do that now really sucks. And I apparently don't have the mats to make anything from Baldwin, even tho I'm constantly throwing crap in there...

And honestly, whose fucking idea was it to have a treasure apparel that stocks at low rates and will cycle out in two weeks? Because I want to kick them in the kneecap. It's going to be hell fighting the scalpers and people with generally better internet for them, because at this rate I'm sure as hell not going to get shit from what little chests I can grind in coli until my wrist gives out.





I just woke up and I'm a bit grumpy I should probably go eat something...

Did someone just flick the dodge rating to "overdrive"? Things were more or less bearable until now :/

And a head's up for everyone! Depending on how much stuff I get I'm hoping to set up another raffle/give-away thing like I did last year :D 17 chests so far, and I'll be enduring the coliseum for as long as I can for the next 2 weeks :)

Which bears you got? I gave all of mine away when I quit XD

EDIT: Funny thing, I've farmed for 3 hours and 2 of the 4 chests contained newer bears (both being the bogus manamonger ><)

Either I'm a tad more lucky or they upped the drop chance cause I've gotten more chests in the last hour than I did in the four I was grinding earlier. Hm

You and me both. I just don't have time for it. Especially with work + holidays. I wish they would give us an option to set up to melt more than one item. Like a 20 stack and just let it run all day, doing one every 30min or whatever the timer is. It would make it so much easier for some of us that don't have the option to check FR every 30min - 1hr.

Also; Jurz, I sent some familiars your way! :D

I just grabbed an extra bundle of the witch apparel from the mp... If you want it, I can sell it to you for the price I paid? (97k) Just send me a pm on there if you want it! ^^ And if you don't, I guess I'll hoard it to sell in the summer lol.

Well damn I wish I was paying attention for the bundle. I managed to grab a ton of the cloaks though I'll probably sell a few of them to regain the treasure I tossed away in my haste to buy a dozen of them oops

I'll definitely send you a PM about the bundle though
