    You need both cihp and core.

    I did the one in Outer Horutoto Ruins twice, purple chip and core, day unknown and time unknown, no weather. Got 8 Cermet Chunks and 1 Lightning Cluster. One made a profit, one was total loss. Oh well.

    What is the point of dynamis areas?
    RE: whats the point?
    # Jul 17 2004 at 8:28 PM Rating: Decent
    What's the point of the dynamis? Man you gotta be kidding me? Have you seen all the relic gear yet? The demons mask for DRK lvl 70 and above. The dynamis is the place to go for all that. Bigger badder and longer BCNM battles basically. I'm not sure yet cause i havnt done one but i look forward to them in the future. So excuse me if I was able to elaborate on what the experience is like. But seriously if you plan on having a lvl 75 job you need to plan on doing the dynamis.

    I quested for the Rune Blade out of the apparatus in Crawlers' Nest (Leviathan Server*) for a RDM friend. After about 13 trys or so I got it. NOTE: The Rune Blade had a NEGATIVE REFRESH effect. Taking away 4 MP every few seconds. Not adding it. -,-

    in order for the latent effect to activate, you have to have MP, and the latent effect drains MP from you at a constant rate.

    so if you got no MP, the latent effect isn't "turned on"

    The webmasters of Allakhazam have nothing to do with this other than actually posting it. See the little "Submit Information" link up there? Almost all of Allakhazam's information comes from user submissions, and this one is no exception. Someone clearly copied and pasted from MysteryTour and submitted it to Allakhazam. And to tell the truth, I really don't see much wrong with that, either. This information was posted to help people out, and not just people who know about MysteryTour. A lot more people come to Allakhazam, so posting it here as well helps that many more people.

    ya know, if your going to flat out copy someone else's website you could make a little effort to atleast translate it a bit more its just sad.

    The passwords are obtained in a place called La'uyin or something like that. its the "last" area in the game that only non-mages can get to(dunno why).
    RE: ya know
    # Jul 05 2004 at 9:06 AM Rating: Default
    no such place as La'uyin. Sounds odd that they would prevent mages from going there if it existed.
    you are probaly talking about Tu'lia, that is the area which is the end of the game, well atleast for Rise of Zilart.
    But Tu'lia can be accessed by anybody who have done the Zilart missions.
