  I forgot to master synthesis before I started the road to 200/50.
  Oh well. Its 1% and not like its so important I can't wait for it or just casually do it with raid drops and tipping suits.

  What. How? Why? It takes me like 15 minutes. It should be the same for everyone, no? O_O
  
  Also spent 30 minutes making spider farm the old way (switch channels), when out of nowhere they just poofed out of existence. Turns out they can despawn if no one is around. Plus apparently HS works as CC'ing, so even bigger fail on my part. :cry:

  
  
  I make a plan about how to do the mission and everything goes fine until i reach a point when everything crumbles (missing hitting a mob then getting attacked continuously to using a skill and leaving several mobs alive just to let them use me as a rag doll, etc.)
  
  Sometimes i can't even do the mission on the assigned day no matter how much i play.
  
  TL;DR: I apparently am that bad

  If I get tons of aggro I just die and wait for it to drop. Sometimes works.

  For me, that mission is more a luck bassed mission rather that a skill bassed mission and what you said also depends on luck, if the mobs aggro the pillars or if the pillars attack the mobs to cause them to ignore you, if you are far away enough from the mobs for them to drop aggro, if the ghosts or those archer-wielding mobs decide to drop aggro, if you are dealing with a dragon, so on so on

  Spiders use their web dropping skill as part of their AI, so they only drop if a player is around too.
  
  I stopped trying multiple times to collect proofs because nothing in the second tab interests me other than shop bags for later sale or something.
  
  That said, accidentally sold a normal pet dye as if it was a bad-colored fixed. Oops. Not as bad at putting a Mage Gem for 50K, I don't think I'll ever forget that. WTB gold string commas as a legit feature, NA.

  
  
  Doesn't the fine box on the 2nd page have a chance to drop command seals?

  I never had a problem clearing normally, but I have since improved my technique to the point where on Archer I don't even die until the boss (and others die only once before), and trying to see if I can cheese him with LoS around corners poking with Caladbolg II. It seems it works as long as he doesn't charge Gate of Babylon you can get it off fast enough, but if he does charge it it somehow outranges you and will be lethal.
  
  For dragons you actually just want to spam normal attacks. They have high knockdown resistance but no stun resist. You can just infinite combo them. Also they never seem to aggro crystals on their own. If you are far enough away they just stand there forever. I run to clear them anyway just in case, but it might be worth trying to ignore them and see if they just space out forever.
  
  Otherwise it's mostly using your short cooldown to clear the point every time it's up. Maybe a windmill or 2 in between if it's swamped, or just smashing a single mob to death. Until the final waves your short cooldown should 1-shot everything and you can assault slash anything in deadly. Save your long cooldown for ogres, especially on Saber (Berserker shouldn't bother since it stops him from clearing the point normally), and fight survivors as normal. The only other priority are skeleton ghosts, and they can just be 1+smashed.

  Fine box potentially does, but are those multi-use or something? If single-use, too niche for me.

  1 use and there's still a lot of crap in it. Just hope to get lucky.

  Words and advices.

  
  
  Gate of Babylon has a flaw, it's range is forwards only, if you can move strictly to the sides (until you are not in front of the circles summoning the swords) you will evade it, that the skill tries to lock on is just a bluff, evading is tricky but should be fairly easy.
  
  Also: A) My attacks can leave several mobs alive past first wave, B) More often that not my character ends up not dealing the first strike, C) I usually end up not being able to catch up with the mobs when they decide to evade me before attacking again.
  
  P.S.: The way that this forum is made is making me exhausted because i have to re-type over and over until i realize that i should refresh the page to have a chance to reply after the token expired

  You should wait until they reach the crystals before going after them. Once they get close, you can just use normal attacks to kill them. Windmill also works wonders. You should also use the AoE skill each of the servants get. At no point should you chase after them. If you are low on hp, no worries, you revive instantly, so you can just go all out. Lastly, take your time, the goal, apparently, is to protect the crystals, so as long and none of them are destroyed, you should be golden, right?
  
  Then again I just noticed I've been getting between 5 and 9 seals...

  In that RP, many things can go incredibly wrong before you notice what's happened. While normally I can finish with all crystals standing, one mistake later on means impending fail. Especially during the phase when ogres spawn, a single archer or ghost who went into deadly can screw up everything.
  
  More on topic. I got Saber bag from the daily box and decided to replace my current one with it. I thought that I can at least hold them both at the same time, but no, should have put one of them in bank first. And the tragedy is: I was in my homestead for the whole time and I had to leave my old bag behind. It was just a regular 8x8 devCAT bag but I could've used it on some alt. Not to mention that I paid one million gold for it not too long ago.
• Rydian wrote on 2016-07-26 07:51
  They can be drop-traded so you could have had somebody you trust come grab it on a newbie alt who didn't have a shop bag.

  I don't want to be close to him if I'm trying for deathless. Also he can turn it after it loads to hit you behind him. He can't turn while firing but if it hits you once it's stunlock for several deaths in a row. Again, the issue is being stuck in my own Caladbolg II animation long enough for him to fire instead of ducking back around my corner of safety.

  After half an hour of trying to open Glewyas Secret Shop (wiki is bullship about not to talking the npc), I tried buying the books......with gold.
  
  I just got up from my chair and laid down in my bed to contemplate my life up to this point.

  Its even worse for Glewyas though. The books you buy from his secret shop need the food delivery lists from doing the cooking dungeon instead of gold. So if you don't already have the lists, you're outta luck.
