    Yeah, I could give a shit about getting Xenon or Estia. Cleared the first tower for a gem though. Going to focus on finishing out the Trial of the Gods the next 2 days though. That 2nd trial is a motherfucker. Not even sure I have the firepower (or strategy?) to beat it. I'm wondering if...

    I'm not sure what kind of team to bring for the trial. Thinking: Uda (lead) Lilith (boss killer) Lunaris (status null) Zephyr (def ignore) Lancia (heals) Michelle (friend) Also no clue about what items to bring. Edit: No Michelle friend, so I took another Uda. Used a lot of items...

    Maybe because that's quite possibly one of the dumbest things you've posted? One game isn't going to make the difference in home field advantage. The Patriots could sweep the games against every playoff contender, and those teams can still easily end up with the #1 and #2 seeds. That's why...

    I wish I had counted them up, but I know I spent well over 100 units on Luther just for a single BB level. All told to get from 6-9 BB was in the 300+ units range. Most of them were from running the higher level quest zones, too (not slimes). Even taking his SBB from 1 to 2 took a good 40 units.

    I think moontayle brought it up, but the lopsided PVP here is that an instigator of PVP has absolutely nothing at stake. I think this is a fundamental problem with the PVP in Archeage. An example I can think of was PVP on Rallos Zek. If you go trying to gank someone you think is weaker than...

    Car Insurance

    That's essentially what I wanted to know, thanks. Basically my wife is nagging me about it taking so long, but I have no basis for what it takes for two insurance companies to settle a claim. I also have no clue if the California statutes are only for a claim with your own insurance, and if what...

    Right, I understand that. But I had to cover those upfront while the insurance companies settle it between themselves. I'm wondering how long that should take, or if there's anything I can do at this point since it's been 60 days.

    I've been running A Formidable Presence and it's much more tolerable. Getting 6k exp for 16 energy. I'm also 103 now, and my healer team can fit 6*'s (Uda, Lilith, Lunaris, Lancia, Luther). I'll need a few more (110 maybe?) to fit all 6*'s in my damage team. At this point though, I don't...

    I'm assuming there's no reason to level up Zebra's BB? About to have him maxed out at 5*, and everything I've read said he's basically just there for the LS.

    These two statements together make no fucking sense. So home field advantage goes through NE, but you have no idea how they'll finish the season...uh, ok. Your first sentence is full of confidence; that NE will run away with the #1 seed in the AFC. And then everything after that is, "Who the...

    I'm getting pretty frustrated with my insurance company (USAA). Was involved in an accident on August 21st, where another driver merged into me (so 60 days ago). My insurance found him 100% at fault. He was driving on a company insurance policy, and USAA told me that his insurance had contracted...

    Damn, I hadn't realized Farve played that long. Crazy that Manning will potentially be able to pass him (assuming he plays another season) with that many fewer seasons. If he wins the Super Bowl this year, does anyone think he comes back for another season just to break that record, or will...

    You know, my issues with the PVP in this game are that it's enjoyable, but they made it prohibitively difficult to actually do. The peace zones, faction system, and ability to actually find PVP are all shit. The actual PVP when you find it is fun though. I honestly think it's just that...

    You might struggle with zebra. My team is 4 6* units, 3 of which have SBB (and 2 max SBB), and it still takes me 3 turns to kill. 6* Uda (10 SBB, lead) 6* Lilith (1 SBB) 6* Lunaris (10 SBB) 6* Lancia (5 BB) 5* Serin (4 BB) Run it 3 times now, always with another maxed out Uda.

    I'd say it's considerably harder. The ramp up in difficulty after St Lamia is steep (I finished St Lamia and then stalled out about 2-3 dungeons in on Cordelica and Amdahl). What's your quest team look like?

    3% drop rate. I had no problems killing it with auto-attack (think it was 2 or 3 turns), but then I've been slow in doing the quests and am probably quite a bit more powerful than intended.
