Just a little Something I put together~ Please Sticky

Vana'diel is once again gearing up for the Feast of Swords, a Far Eastern festival in which town residents celebrate their sons' healthy growth by raising banners decorated with enormous fish, and dressing the towns' male youth in armor for mock fights.

Many citizens of Vana'diel still remember the chaos of the last Feast of Swords, when the priceless armor the Mog House Management Union (M.H.M.U.) borrowed from the Far East was stolen. Thanks to the efforts of the adventurers, the armor ended up with back its Far Eastern owners just in time, but the near diplomatic near-disaster had everyone in a cold sweat for days.

Many seasons have passed since the international incident, and everyone expected the M.H.M.U. to have abandoned all hopes for the Feast of Swords...until now. Rumor has it that the M.H.M.U. was determined this time to create the perfect festival this time, and persisted in its pleas until the Far East finally gave in--and the Genji family lent them their legendary armor once more.

The moogles busily scurried around to make the preparations, and everything seemed to be in order...or so they thought.

Flash back to a few months ago. A cargo ship arrived carrying the Far Eastern armor, but it was disguised as an Aht Urhgan trading vessel. The reason for this deception was simple. The Far East stated that the Genji armor is a national treasure, and they did not want it taken while traveling through Aht Urhgan territorial waters. However, what seemed to be a prudent course of action ended up causing an even greater predicament than last year's incident...

The ship was immediately set upon by Near Eastern pirates after docking at the Mighoya Dunes on the continent of Mindartia. The pirates' leader, Barracuda Myu, had followed the vessel all the way from the Cyan Deep, believing that it carried powerful Aht Urhgan weapons.

Fortunately (or unfortunately?) for the Far Eastern crew, the Federal Forces of Windurst appeared to save the day. However, when Myu's gang was surrounded and left with nowhere to run, they turned to drastic measures. Upon learning that the ship actually carried sets of priceless armor, they devised a plan to escape wearing the cargo. They reasoned that surely no one would risk harming a national treasure.

And so, the moogles call on the adventurers to save them from yet another prickly situation. The master carpenter Kupelcian has once again begun production of a special weapon designed to inflict no scratches or dents on the treasure. Take up the wooden katana once more and save the invaluable armor from the pirates! The dignity of the M.H.M.U.--no, of the Middle Lands--can only be preserved by your actions!

[kayn]

we just got a "stables collar" from the galka. 50 charges of something, i dunno what

[layana]

Same, I got a Republican Stable's Medal from the Hume in South Gustaberg.

[Hitoshisan]

I hope the new item this year a teleport to jeuno stables. That would be nice lol.

Won't Be ^^; People Have to go really far in CoP just to get a ring that cant be recharged with only 5 charges and teleports u to jeuno... doubt theyd give everyone something similar to something people worked hard for ^^;

[Isiolia]

Arguably, the ring is there to make jumping around for cutscenes and things with the missions easier for CoP. No reason they couldn't make another item, but I think that any other items with this have been very hard to get too (Maat's Cap and Stars cap I think).

Event rewards tend to be starting-city specific though.

[Zatarrax]

Shinjobi had an update in his pic for your guide. A bunch of us pulled the Mithra to the gates of Bastok Mines and got the same results as what is pictured too. Not sure what the use of the Gold Carps is but you can get em.

Also, buffs stay on after the level cap is put on. I used Earthan Ward and others used Stoneskin to stay in the battle long enough to make a dent. Then rotated back in as we died and homepointed.

Was fun anyway. Now to go for the warp stables items.

[Bluthund]

Shinjobi :

Dood we kicked that bitches ass... but yeah after a bunch of you left they stopped dropping the belts. Is there a trick or some item we need to have to get them? Really frustrating that we were getting like 1 a guy before and then none for like 4 hrs.

[AllyX]

the mithra is like a one hit kill i have no clue how to get her ; ;

[edxmon]

Seriusly guys, i have already done everything that would get you a hardwood katana in '05 and the moogle wont give me shit. i have to decipher this!

[Drazzan]

I want hardwood katana *crys* i missed it last year couldnt be bothered XD

[Bert0]

Fun thing to do is use MNK 2 hour, Hundred Fists, with the lotus katana. Do that when the armor is about to die and you might get the win.

[HotaruHikai]

Just to let you know, you forgot the "White drop" gives CHR+5. 8 in all white, black, red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and clear. one for each of the types of weather ^^;

[Ayrlie]

went sightseeing on the mithra, hits for 51 w/o buffs, 20-30 with protect 4. it took 8 hits for it to go through my stoneskin. other than that, mithra is a waste of time.

i suggest having a whm job with reraise, helps a lot. protect and stoneskin also goes a long way. use selbina milk (i suggest several stacks).

odds for stables collar drop is 1 in 10. odds in colored drops is 1 in 5.

bastok-jeuno circuit: republic stables
sandy-jeuno circuit: kingdom stables
windy-jeuno circuit: federation stables

[HAcoreRD]

this event is shockingly hard, as pets are useless except for taking heat off you.

Mithra can 1 shot you, and Edge of Death is cheap

[dead mans elegy]

this blows, in almost 10 kills i got nothing but mochi, i already have all my drops (sentimental gift from a loved one who left me...) and even if i had seen a colar drop id have to lot out a full pt and possibly face blist if i won (i had 2 blists because i refused invites as i wanted colar and colar only so i soled em)

honestly this event ranks up with easter or valintines day in whcih i didnt even log on for the whole period ( i f***ing HATE v-day for reasons..)

unless you get really lucky and get a colar and lot it its useless go get your complimentary katana and then do something productive
