Staff Trial Glitch?

trial 790 on trees counting as 5 per kill???



i posted the full log so no one can say i was just copy pasting stuff .. i oringinally started this trial and then forgot about it for awhile .. abandoned it @ the moogle to make room for af3 trials in log .. left it for a few weeks while was doing another trial .. went and killed a tree didnt see the kill register in log but i still had the old staff with the trial inscribed on it .. went back to the moogle and erased that same staff and re-used it for the trial .. since then ever tree ive killed has counted towards 5 objective kills .. going to try this out with other trials

You get 5kills per kill if weather is active for your trial.

(It was a patch)

assuming ur trial is only weather based as in 790's case does that mean u will always get 5 per kill?

Yes. All "kill x monsters on x day/weather" trials give five points per kill during weather, and six if it's the matching day and weather.

One point for specified day - eg. Firesday
Five points for specified weather - eg. Heat waves.
Six points for specified weather and day - eg. Heat waves on Firesday.

Some trials it helps a LOT on, and I'm really grateful they added this change.

yea i totally agree and must have missed that patch due to myself being the only one doing staff trials in my Ls .. all though on the other hand it sucks for everyone who already made a few staffs back at the full 50 trees worth and what not .. does seem like they are making it easier and easier as it goes along .. that and they want ppl to seek out weather more then afk all day for days to come around

Just wait, soon you have to kill 300 slimes.

Lol, it's not just staffs, weather gives 5 points for all trials.

If I remember right double weather gives 10. Kinda rediculous really

nope... any weather effect at all, single or double is 5, but weather PLUS day of the week = 6 credits

Yeah I didn't do it myself but that's what I was told

This is correct.

Matching day: Credit for 1 kill
Matching single weather: Credit for 5 kills
Matching double weather: Credit for 5 kills
Matching day/single weather: Credit for 6 kills
Matching day/double weather: Credit for 6 kills

This only applies to trials having to day with x amount of kills during x day/weather.

The reason SE did this, I'd assume, is because day is a constant one hour of time to kill mobs non-stop, while weather is alot more random, and depending on the trial, alot rarer.

For example, there is a STR Shamshir trial to kill 300 birds during firesday/weather. The quickest way that comes to mind is killing 300 colibri during firesday, but if you were to go for fire weather kills, you'd need to sync for Rocs in altepa desert, where fire weather is rare as ***.

Of course, it makes some trials retardedly easy too. See: Snolls during ice weather.

see beasts during ice weather/day (Xarcabard (s) tiger pets @outpost say hi) lol

Yeah i'm doing 3 staff trials at once (yeah multitaskin woo)
1) Pet:Matk
2) Shiva prep-
3) Ruin coin Empyrean (lol)

150Ghosts
200undead ice weather/day ...not happy maybe sync in xarc?

150leeches
200sheep ice day/weather (i prefer weather cuz x5 but i can't think of any places with these matches.

What about the people who picked up Magian Trials before they were cool, back before they HALVED the amount of kills you needed per trial :P

For trial 1683, am I supposed to be getting 5 points per kill if the elemental is out? I don't think so but just was curious, I just saw that does not require day/weather.
