Coins Of Birth

So dancer is my best geared job and I was wondering .. Will I be able to solo farm my coins efficiently? Or would a better route be to make a small group?

I have very little experience in WoE - any tips on what mobs are best or if I should aim for clearing a zone would be appreciated.

You an solo farm coins, but you'll spend a long time doing it. Runs where you can clear the zone and get the end chest will always be better than going in and trying to solo some coins.

That being said, doing WoE for coins of advancement and doing full blown emp, it took me less time to do my emp than it did to get coins >.>

QTF, took me 5 days to bump out my Masamune, took me maybe a month to get all the coins of decay, all be it tho this was back when the drop rates were shittier then they are now.

I guess I kinda knew I would have to clear the zones for the best result.

As for going for an actual empy; I don't like how the upgrades work - needing 50 Glavoid shells was daunting enough but now with 75 scales + 75 claws... I guess uber gear has always been about fighting the same mob a million times till you get what you want.. I'll have to think about how much I want people to drool over my gear I guess. haha.

50 Shells, 50 Scales, 75 Claws

The hardest part for us is still probably Shells, because it's the hardest to tempt other people into helping you with the Tahrongi stage. Your best bet is to team up with someone going for a Chloris Empyreal (Blacklion in my case) who has a realistic amount of playtime for Tahrongi and Attohwa.

Tahrongi-
Chloris + Glavoid = Lacovie = Augur Gloves, Goading belt.
We tossed in Ocelot Trousers (I built pearl on T1/2 VNMs), Iratham, Quetzalli, and Myrm as well when required.

Attohwa-
Itza+Ulh = All four types of head +2 items.
That was enough to get people to come out most times. We also popped a Lusca or two for people who had the pop.

Now, Monk Empyreal in Altepa is just unrealistic really. The drop rate off Dragua is pretty terrible, and Orthrus is a pussy. At this point, I'd recommend striking out on your own.

Altepa-
Orthrus, Bennu, Hedjedjet = All four times of Body +2 items in about equal proportion, along with Atheling Mantles, Soulscourges, and DNC/PLD/BLM/COR body seals.
That was enough to get people interested, but 75 was a lot of claws.


Edit: About Walk of Echos, I did it a few times and never saw a useful coin drop. It may still be easier than doing a full Empyreal, but not by thaaat much. It's mostly easier if you're already getting the coins from doing runs for gil with your linkshell.

yeah birth coins were really terrible to get.....

conflux 7 or dont bother, can get all the coins you need in a night with a 5man group

Like 3 servers have 7 unlocked.

enjoy grinding out 1 coin a run tops from nq shitmobs

Hmmm mixed reviews indeed.

I'm almost leaning towards full emp... After af+2 5/5 what else is there? ?_?

Then again... When the level cap rises again and at last to 99 - there might be alot to do and getting 300 Shinryu spitballs to get your level 99 weapon might.. kinda.. suck.

Did they remove pouches from other zones?

noone kills any bosses but the slime ones and thats hardly ever with all the morons hanging out in WoE but yes it SOMETIMES drops A pouch and its ALWAYS ruin.
