Anyone tried casting Holy on him with the title "The Pure One"? He/She/It/That Giant Shroom might cut you some slack :O

Okay, this page is very lacking in useful information about the Jailer of Love so I'm going to post about my LS's experience with it tonight. I'm assuming if you are coming here you already know how to pop it, so I wont get into that.

When you spawn JoL, it will have a certain element associated with it. This element is easy to figure out- it is the element the jailer is casting. If it casts stone, it is currently stone-based, aero=wind-based, etc. Casting spells that are the same as its current elemental base heals its HP. Its exactly like ZM8 and the en-spells. Have someone in the alliance call out what element it is and whether summoners can use diabolos. (It can be light or dark element as well as the other 6). Throughout the fight, the element that heals its HP will change. When this happens, a "2-hour" animation will occur and you will have to either wait for the jailer to cast again or use tier I spells to figure out what element not to use. For all blm, i would strongly recommend sticking to blizzard spells unless he is ice-based because they provide the most damage potential. Load up on elemental magic skill also, as he resists quite frequently.

Tanking JoL requires a lot of HP. While it is possible to stay out of his melee range for most of the fight, he casts aga III spells and tier IV magics almost constantly.

Also, throughout the fight, he will summon either phuabos, hpemdes, or xzomits three at a time. I believe he summons every 2.5 minutes, so have an add party or alliance ready to claim them quickly before they can do much damage to the main alliance.

As mentioned below, JoL drops:

1) Aura of Adulation = Novio Earring ~Rare~
Magic Attack Bonus +7 level 75 Earring
2) Aura of Voracity = Novia Earring ~Rare~
Evasion +7 Enmity -7 Level 75 Earring
3) Love Halberd = Level 73 Polearm ~Rare/Ex~
DRG/SAM - DMG:60 Delay:396 DEX+7
Occasionally attacks twice with virtue stone equipped
4) Love Torque = Level 73 Torque ~Rare/Ex~
DEX+5 Dagger skill+7 Polearm skill+7

Note that he DOES NOT directly drop Novio or Novia earrings. The rare/ex auras are turned in to a NPC in Tavnazian Safehold to obtain the prizes.

Killing Jailer of Love has a random chance to spawn Absolute Virtue, a NM Aern and arguably the most difficult monster currently in the game.

Edit- Fixed and added stats on the drop items

[quote][/quote]how do you know? Do you have any link or source for this information or is this just speculation like everyone else? I read in an interview he was killable by 18 members of the development team. That hardly sounds like 50 GMs who were barely able to kill him. And if it took 50 GMs to barely kill him how could they expect any number of users to? I think your post is complete speculation.

That is Totaly a dumb-*** statement, ur like 70% of all titan thinking "nothing is possible" lol u can have 64 members in a linkshell and u can swap out alliances. therefore 50 is TOTALY possible. and no one knows how many players were used to defeat him, no one knows the jobs, how long it took or anything so stop jumping to ur stupid conclusions and open ur eyes..

I've been out of the loop for a while, but I do remember when the sea gods first came out there there was always seemed to be a subtle trick to make beating them easier. They always come off as very hard at first, I remember my first go at one of the Ix'aern turning into a nightmare, and we had 9 people for that one. Anyways, here's a possible strategy for the Love+AV fight, that I've been pondering over for some time. Now, obviously Love itself posses a major threat, with high HP regen, armor stripping TP moves, and from what i understand, 18 pets? I've seen a screen shot of many many pet mobs swarming around, so I assume that's true. Even if the number isn't quite that high, this next bit will hold true. I think the whole fight should be taken more from a Dynamis aspect then from an HNM one. As in, allocate the majority of the black mages, preferable 10+, into a single alliance, with one tank, preferable a pld, in each one, or let him go during the AV fight, as each party will need it for this. BRDs too over rdms, again for PLD reasons. Now, this alliance keeps the pets dead, at all times. Then there needs to be two main alliances for Love, one to hold it, using standard tactics, with a few blm or smn in for the bursting SCs on it. Basically, it should be blitzed, when one alliance has shot its 2hrs and SCs, they all /disengage as a pld from the other flashes it, Invincables to pull hate off, and the 2nd alliance goes for it. That's the trick part right there, it might be more plausable to just stick to one alliance, so as not to accidently face causalities with the hate transfer, or accidently calling for help, but either way, it needs to be taken down relatively fast. Now, for the key to surviving AV. Another alliance, or party, needs to be waiting outside of the Love fight, not participating. This group needs any PLDs with Crimson grieves, thfs, nins, a nd a whm or two. This is the kiter group. Yes, they'll die relatively fast, but, the objective is like this. Thf pulls hate first, by any means necessary and 2hrs, another thf satas near the end of the 2hr and does the same. At this time, the BLM alliance is holding 1-2 of the wynavs, the plds invinble to initally get hate, and the BLMs nuke, but do not kill, the wynavs. As the Perfect dodges in the kiters wear, PLDs step up and invincible. During this time, the HNM will be spirit linking the wynavs, as recorded on a previous forum. I believe there are 3 wynavs in all, and the other 1-2 wynavs can be held by the alliance that killed Love. Everyone deals dmg carefully, and several RDM/DRK should at this time be allocated to each alliance, to stun the wynavs shoudl they spam -ga III spells. Now, the 2nd alliance that was left from Love, either the one that switched hate with the main one, or the one that sat back, either is fine, stores TP to 300%, staying back a bit from the action for now. When AV gets low, below 2-3%, where the HP regen is negating the spirt link effect, they switch in with the kiter alliance and blitz kreig it. From the information gathered off of other forums, it appears that 2-3 spirit links did 2% dmg to AV, so up to 100 spirit links may need to be done, but probably far fewer if the alliances are handling things well, maybe as few as 30-50. Now, this means the kiter alliance must live that long, that is the hard part. For now, since I'm not playing at the moment, I can only suggest Invincable and Perfect dodge two hours, then kiting with evasion adn HP gear, with brd song Mazurka if it works, if not then crimson grieves, using Blink tanks only when others are dead. It may even take smn's tanking, 2hring a pet to get hate and letting it take for a moment or two as actual tanks getting revived. So, there's the test of this strategy, can the kiting alliance live?

I know the point has been repeatedly made (And so has the joke), but I'd just like to say that he's very capable of anally penetrating everyone in Al Catraz in just under four minutes, twenty seconds. Capone had a thing for him o.-

Notorious for handing out bars of soap, then waiting for people to drop them.

Oh, he doesn't look that bad. I mean...aw, he wants to give me a hug! Well, I'd be glad to...OH! Oh god! The tentacles!

...Make good buddies with new prisoners? :3
