The omen changes make me happy I have so many damn cards right now.

5:1 of the same job card is still a stupid trade requirement. It should be 5:1 of any job, or 3:1 of the same. Average card run is 3 cards per entry. Even if you're sitting on four cards, you might as well just go in on the other job you want the cards for and get 3 cards.

Did a level 11 besieged. It gives 5k exemplar now. I hope they double each time so it hits 80k at level 15.
It was strange though. Gulool was seemingly invincible.

Did he have invincible on?

5k exemplar is pretty good for still only i109.

That's not something I can actually do, unless you mean lock this thread and point people at the other one.

I began the quest for Evisceration on a mule a few months ago, and have been casually working towards it while doing monthly RoE stuff. I wonder if the change applies to those that were already in progress during the update, or if we have to start again from scratch to get the updated values. I am aware the update just dropped today and we don't even know how they changed it yet. I'd really appreciate anyone with any spare time to test this. Thanks.

(I'd test it myself but I have a busy few days ahead.)

Would make sense. I think when it comes to looking for this information in the future, people will not generally look through both threads for information, so it would be good if there was one true source (plus Funk always does the monthly, don't mess up the flow)

He took no physical or magic damage and resisted all debuffs. The besieged ended with all other mamool ja dead and him warping away at full health from what I could see.

I noticed he took little damage from me the other day at level 10. They might have overtuned him a bit.

Any chance that the beastmen bosses have a [-% Damage Taken] conditional maybe in relative to the morale?

Where was the morale bar at when you were dealing damage to Gulool?

Unrelated, do you think Prishe's Teardrop will be part of the synthesis recipe for upgrading the boots? Otherwise I don't know what purpose it serves.

This was prior to the update, there was no morale gauge. He just wasn't taking any damage. I pulled one of the remaining NMs away to try to kill it and it spawned Hydra on me and killed me, so I'm not sure if he has a shield until all the other NMs are dead or not.

Wish they would do something about all the extra Omen scales I have. The next time they sought player feedback I was going to suggest allowing the player to trade in Omen scales for additional job cards, now I’m thinking a better use for them would be using scales to trigger additional Omen rolls for a free floor.

How about a stack for a drop, all 5 stacks for a single OU drop. It still take 3+ months of farming to gather this amount, so not crazy.

I killed him in like 5 WS the other day, maybe less. Might be some condition he was under causing him to be invincible or something, but it's not always true because he was a fat joke for me at lvl 10 not long ago.

Same experience with it dying in few weaponskills so I wonder if there's more into this high damage resist mode.

I would trade extra cards for scales honestly.

I really don't understand how or why the Besieged bosses suddenly start taking damage. It seems to possibly be timed to the percentage of enemies left, I'm not sure. Whatever it is, they only seem to start taking damage like a minute before everyone just warps away, so the window for killing them is incredibly small. I don't know if this is intentional or not.

It's also worth mentioning that up until whatever the trigger is that allows them to take damage, they also completely resist all debuffs even dia and inundation.

Also also worth mentioning that if you get hate on it, it is very difficult to shed it due to not being able to damage it.
