Part 1 : Before g9 update, still works and need to be learn
Hello I am xaithir from alexina server, and i am here to show you the quickest and fastest way to gather fossils. To me fossils are the easiest way to get exp and the quickest way for me to get atleast 20 expl level, and lets not forget the chance to win a lava cat robe ^^. Ok so lets start.
- Recently nexon decided to add a sulfur golems to where you dig for fossils.
[My first reaction to this was "omg" , "now how am i going to get fossils with this big thing around chasing me ? ", and then one day i got this idea.]
-You may not know this but sulfur golem are now the quickest way to gather fossils, there's an 80% chance of you getting a fossil now per swing of the pick axe.
For this guide you will need an
-Blessed Pickaxe/ upgrade pickaxe[the best one]
-5-10 stam pots
-5 feathers [ as many as you want]
-a clean inventory [very useful]
-1-2 flying Pets [ the most important of them all, this is what the guide is basically about lol]
So lets begin
~ First head to your fossil location.
~Second put on all your gears.
~Third Summon your flying Pet [ birds, broom]

this is what a golem look like this is when they are not transformed[Image: http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/9459/mabinogi20091212007.jpg]
this is when they are transformed [died trying to get that screenie ><]
Ok so now go on flying pet and then hover over the golem.
[So now swoop down, get off the pet fast and use pickaxe on golem,as soon as the animation of the pickaxe is gone, get back on the pet again and fly up in the air]
Note: its best that you have your pet next to you when digging on golem
and to assign hotkey for getting on pet , for me my hotkey is R-mount.]
~ even if the fossil drop don't take your time to pick it up go up in the air befor the golem awakes]
Note: For elves this is easy, you might not need a flying pet but alot of stam pots.
[ Just go near golem use pickaxe and then once animation is done go in to hide and run away lol ]
[Also look for the foot of the golem, i believed there are some parts of the golem that you can not dig.]
Well i hope this guide help you new comers to fossiling, also there's a slight chance you might mess up so thats what the feathers are for.
So what should happen if i get hit by a golem doing this?
- ok so there's a rare chance of you getting hit by a golem, it might due to the golem being aggro fast
so this might happen once in a while pretty rare.
~First you should de summon your flying mount as soon as you get hit, remember hotkeys are your friends here.
~ summon an horse if you whave one [elves go into hide lol ]
~ then you run for your life
~ or if you don't have an horse and you have trans, then just trans and keep running
[Thank to MrRime for the tip : "Here are some tips I think you should include in your guide:
Golems detect running, so it's best you land on them or near their foot, the mineable area, to avoid making necessary movements.
Occasionally, the golem will delay its aggressiveness, not drop it while you fly up, and proceed to attack you as you land. It's hard to tell when this will happen so be ready to escape aggro at all times.
Mana shield could save your life in case of a golem attack. You can recharge your mana at the tunnel southwest of the sulfur pit."]
Little facts about golems
-------------------------
. 4k hp
. mining on golem reduce protection, so what does this mean [ recycle your golems lol, a.k.a try to kill them lol so new ones can be made and get more fossils.
. sulfur golems drop the rare heater shield.
-moved from another site
Part 2 : so nexon has decided to change the ai for the golem so now they are more likely to attack you. ok here what to do.
1. if the golem falls down when you go near it then start digging, get your flying pet ready. and then repeat the process from part 1
Note: some golems will react the same way as in part one and they won't be agrro to you.
2. so what if the golems wake up, then all you do is fly away and then go back in the next two minutes and start digging, you will notice that same golem that was aggro to you will fall down and you can now dig it and fly up and dig again, w/o it being aggroed to you. no there's a chance that it will continued to aggro to you, just fly away again and come back again.
Video posted, excuse song lol was lisening to it.:XD:
[video=youtube;ArBZT2kzTfY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArBZT2kzTfY[/video]
just a basic concept of what i do to each golem, and notice how the first golem that i went to was aggro to me and when i left for 1 min and went back it de aggroed. i apologize for quality and i will add annotation to it so you can read what i was saying.
