Donating before the fiesta starts adds berserkers to the pool right?

Yes,

The real question is though is the conversion rate. It used to be fixed rate per zerker, but a couple times RK hosed with the numbers because too many people donated towards it and zerker risk became a cerzerkency for at least one per risker.

So I finally came up with an idea for a :toxx:

I want new people to suffer for whenever I decide to make "art"

So I want you guys to encourage someone to play. Heck, even just get them to pre-register so that I can water the tree first.

1 buck per player who shows me a clean player page with 0's all the way down. Let's say a limit of 50. (e: 6/12 *squints at like 5 or however many pledged in the last week and the handful who said "this is my first fiesta in girl dick energy's lp" Fuckit, close enough)


First :toxx: pledge satisfied.


But wait, there's more!

10 bucks per new player who clears NED. Limit $250 (they don't need to be in the original 50, just someone who has a clear player page but a star on their 2021 run.)



e: Not limiting this to SA, so if you know anyone who just does twitter or whatever I'll honor them there as well. https://twitter.com/feyerbrandx/status/1399183494874648582

Its been a long time but berzerker risk of random I think would do it too.

But also a year or two ago RK put his finger on the scales and hosed with the exchange rate since he wanted it to be berzerker risk, not bercertinty. (I think that year if it was still 10bux perzerker it was a guaranteed 2+ per player).

e: I think it was 2018 where he screwed with the numbers, since 2017 I had 3 with pure chaos.

Beating every single boss with Goblin Punch actually sounds like a fun challenge. You'd probably need a Chemist to make it feasible though.

Feasible yes but dragondarch is not that thing. He has bard to level up and can just bop them to stop leveling and blue can old or halve level so it's perfectly... It can be done.

So he'll try it.

First fest of the season done.

Didn't have to grind much post game since I had to grind early on to survive quadzerker liquid flame and wanted to do single white mage trizerker for byblos and sandworm.

And Sol Cannon just because I needed just a bit more cash for a second angel ring to negate having to juggle healing old and attacking.

After a nice little mini grind to level 30 for W2 Exdeath to L3 flare his face in a few times and then no grinding again ever, thanks to shell keeping everyone alive.

Hey..... I heard this is not a damaging class at the start before the good thief stuff is available.

Yeah you'll be using a lot of potions through garula. Definitely make sure you steal mithril knives from the y burns and get the elf mantle from the walz castle basement (provided you're on GBA, if not... well you'll have !flee by then, definitely make use of it).

There weren't even enough berserkers to guarantee someone GOT one this year.

As for Red Mage, at least you'll have a very solid, safe progression through W1. Hopefully your other jobs fill in the gap as it falls off in use early W2, but it'll have utility against locking down Atomos and Wend- I mean Stoker.

Equip Ribbon means you get a good headpiece with a good (but not complete) list of status immunites and a good boost to stats to offset the fragility of dancer.

Right now unless you get a good fourth job you must grind to survive NED, Red Mage and Dancer have horrible HP growth and either you need a means to shell your party or heal beyond dual casting raise (which wouldn't work when Red falls) or a means of immediately killing the Almagest spewing target. Dancer with a Rainbow Dress and fully powered chicken knife at around level 35 will come near doing the damage cap every sword dance, so if you're forced to grind it WILL.

If you have to grind you're looking at fighting at NED in the mid 40s.

This red dragon in the barrier tower is giving me hell. But at the very least if I get out if here I'll be farther in this game than I've ever gotten!

Fun tip: Red Dragons are Undead (and thus injured by Cura(ga) and Hi-Potions, and they’re also vulnerable to ice, earth, Old, Slow, and Stop.

The only thing is that they also have innate reflect.

As for the red dragon, I'd say just either skip it, you absolutely do NOT need a blood sword and you can survive with a gold hairpin from a later location.

Or you run from the chest and retry for the 2 yellow dragon fight.

In fact I would go beyond just suggesting and say you should do this.

get your beastmaster to catch one, and if you've got someone else who learned it do it too. Yellow Dragons can be deathclawed which will give you a free catch of them. They'll be your best friend for the last W2 fight.

Ok I picked up a second Berserker at the earth shrine, so, lol, I have Red mage / Dancer / Berserker / Berserker.

I'll keep the 2 berserkers because that's #bersekerrisk which I opted for. Is Ninja / Black mage a good match for 2 Berserkers? What do I do about healing?

Ninja and Black Mage stand on their own. Berserkers with !Black6 will dominate with the Gaia Hammer and Rune Axe. Ninja would also love !Black6 and Black Mage would use !Throw.

To heal, you'd need to grind cash for flame rings and self target with fira(ga) Or just murder everything before they get a chance to hurt you.

Run 2 in the books as a triple crown for Blue/Summoner/Beastmaster/Goon.

Run 1 and 2 were relatively quick affairs with being able to opt out of a lot of grinding because of access to shell.

Run 3 will not. I'll have Berzerker who will carry the team for health, Geo which won't be far behind. But Thief and Dancer will need grinding.

For NED, I'll be donating $2 for every downed party member when Neo Ex-Death is defeated. (i.e. if Butz is the only party member standing when NED is defeated, I'll donate $6. Or if you have two members standing I'll donate $4, or $2 if you have three party members standing).

This was a twofer, !gaia windslash (after having a bitch of a time keeping everyone balanced and eating a meteor/comet angry flexdeath) and obviously the corpse of zerky. No gif since I wasn't TRYING to do these but you can see Faris's ATB at the lowest and what else was I going to do with a geomancer in the void?
