I'm Koi XD and I just started the analyses with S.S.G. so I'm not going back to Gold Rook. As for Treasure Vault, thanks for the info. I'll certainly include that in future analyses. As for the Strata 5/6 I think we should make Strata 5 some type of status level (Chance of gremlins?) and Strata 6 to be Gremlin; if not we should do that the other way around. Some favor Strata 5 due to not grinding to Basil, while others prefer Strata 6 for the increased chances.
Alrighty everyone, grab your nets and lets go Darkfang shield hunting!!!
I agree with you and actually suggested that in earlier posts. At least when the Gold Rook gate is gone we should make at least one gate have stratum 6 gremlin. Personally I prefer it that way. Also I'm still trying to figure out which statuses give the most gremlin levels but one thing i know for a fact is that construct always has gremlins tied in with them.
A long time ago someone told me the first DF shield ever was found in a t3 Treasure Vault...
But alas I think our luck may be best set running for grem grounds and gremlin-themed levels.
Look, nobody is giving up. We dont have to make every gate gremlin. Ppls dont play all day like Njthug.
They cant collet enough crystals for a gate tha comes out every other day. I think One good gremlin gate
out of four other gates are fine. No need to get upset. From now on, I will tell you which gate to put the crystals on.
We have better chance of getting a gremlin stratas from doing that. Problem solved? So we will have at least one gremlin gate.
BTW, Skold the drac, its just a rumor. ppls who made that rumor has no way of knowing if theirs is the first one ever found
Got a Spiral Plate Mail
today i got a magic cloak in a treasure box in a blast furnace
I'll gladly help building some gates and join the hunt! ;D
Cuz the crowns would very much help with getting my FF.
Sign me UP.
IGN: Artistbma
Gear: Full Vog, Aegis, DA, Blight Needle
Meh, im poor so I really only have one of each thing, yea I know, DA sucks for gremmies.
Pwease wet me in.
Does anyone know if equipment drop cloning works?
they patched that LOOOONG ago. Thats why true love pendents dont drop anymore. people just cloned a bunch of them. Thats also why heat and crowns disappear now
Yea. They patched that. But the ppls who actually did do the cloning, they made millions of crowns.
Okay. Nice. We could use handful of recruits btw. If you want to join,
plz state your gears ad IGN. And the recent applications, I will think thru and posts the results in a bit.
Thanks to everyone
Well, I guess i'll join, I found a mega magnus in a gremlin stratum a while ago so maybe I am lucky there.
Finally my craptons of crimsonite have a use now :D
Edit: Need an application? Ok.
I got Shadowsun, Azure Guardian, and Divine sets. A leviathen blade, (Gremlin UV, coincidentally), BTB, Warmaster Hammer, Winmillion(not to useful), Sentenza, AP, Blitz, Dark Retribution, Voltiac Tempest. Shield is Grey owlite. (Dont make many shields).
IGN is:
<----------------
(We were in the same guild you may remember me)
I'm just starting out Darkfang hunting, and i've been wondering, are they found within a gremlin stratum period? or certain levels (like deconstruction zone?) :P
i've been watching this thread for a while, but unfortuanetly have not been able to reply. or play spiral knights, for that matter. for three months.
but enough of that, now i'm back for a month or so, and i'd just like to offer my services for the next two weeks.
i too want the darkfang shield.
one small problem... i'm only tier 2. so as soon as possible, i'll be right there with you.
Awww I feel soooo bad for you!!!!! You lost like 100k ce!!! Well hope you find anothe rone.
After me!!! xD
sky hawk, they are just found in the gremlin stratas. There is no specific place to look for it.
Dreadkingblodking, looking forward to see you in T3 *(^^)*
Gingermace, I knew the name was familiar. What guild were we in??? xD
@Addison: Do you remember where you got it?
Gingermace, I think we were together in both of those guilds I think :D
Doctorspacebar, GOOD question!!!!! Addison, where did you get it???
I've been lurking around this post for a while, and I've been dropping my blues and reds into the stratum 5 and 6 gates to help contribute.
I'd like to officially sign up to help.
Gear:
Cobalt set, ash tail set, WM Hammer, Dark Retribution, DTB, Cold Iron Carver, Callahan, Silent Nightblade.
In spite of having only 4* gear, I've done Vanaduke runs and stuff in Dusker gear and actually done very well, so don't worry too much about me.
Once I find a shield, what do I do with it? Do I show everyone and then auction it to the people on this page? That sounds like a fine idea to me...
Guys, I'm sorry, but I might have acquired...
http://imgur.com/a/lCe6g
I'm sorry. Better luck next time~!
Did you actually find that, or just bought it?
What do you mean better luck??? We are trying to find it ourselves, not buy it.
You are only the winner if you found the shield. You havent. You bought it.
I wanna congradulate you and all, but you arent the winner of the race. Sorry thats cheating. But again,
congradulation on the shield
Consider: Unity, Benji and Doc are the only know owners of one without a UV, and neither plan to sell. Hippo's has dual UVs.
So unless someone on this thread just got one recently and is too scared to own up to it, it sounds damn sure like it's a drop.
Do you have proof of any kind that it was a drop? Because knowing you and your shields, you would probably screenshot that moment.
Exactly. You and all those shields and about 5 ppls that has them, its kinda hard to
believe that you got that as a drop
At first I thought I had found it in the deco zone in that one prestige mission, then I thought it had been in a gremlin grounds in the mission progression, then I realized the memory was too fuzzy to say for sure.
The-Thor, what's the point of 'signing up' to this again? (Instead of just going out to get the drop.)
And why do you want to know equipment?
Addisond, you mean you got a Darkfang Shield drop in one of the missions, not actual Clockwork?
now we have to wait another [unspecified period of time]
raaaaage
; o;
Y U GET ALL DARKFANG SHIELDS
Im sorry for the updates guys. Meant to do it yesterday but I am planning to do it today. I had an awful day, but I will answer the QQs.
@Mcikmane There are several reasons why Im doing this. If you look at my thread and actually look thru some of the comments, you can find few of comments comming from ppls that are happy that the communitity is comming together. Sure you can do it alone, but what Im trying to do here achieve something that could very hard while doing alone. Which are one of the MAIN reasons. I also stated clerly aove twice or more that this more for laughs and fun. A playful race. The reaon Im posting the names of our memebers so we could friend each other. I have gotten over 30 friend request when I checked today. I have done gremlin arenas with these members and it was very fun. Hopefully I can log on today and send out friend requests to ppls in my gang. Danizpsycho offered me to use his empty guild to make a temporary guild for this.
Finally, there are few reasons why I want ppls to state their gears. First, call me selfish, but I dont want T1 players to go on T3 gremlin arenas with me. I dont want to constantly reviving them. The next reason is because if they dont have the gears right enough for it, am planning to help them. Sure, I might say no to a T1Player but Im sure I will help when asked.
If these reasons havent satisfied you yet, I will state more. zthanks for the good question.
@Artisbma Look for your name in about 14 hours. xD
Thanks to everyone who helped and keep up the good work!!!
I read the whole thread before posting...
Anyway, count me in. But people, please don't bombard me with random friend requests, that just leads to random invites without asking first, and I remove people who do that, so we might as well skip that. (I don't have an elevator pass, I won't just join anywhere.)
Nonetheless, I prefer playing with company, and don't think I'd have trouble dragging some underequipped player through the blue skull gate on a T3 Basil run (as in, just the gremlin strata), if they don't run off. (I hate players that run off, might as well play alone then. - Note for anyone looking for company: I don't like rushing. I like team play, including leaving the vitas for the less equipped folks and spreading pills out evenly.)
Armor, hat, shield is Volcanic Demo, Vog Cub, and Gray Owlite. My weapons change depending on what level it is. 1 or 2 swords, 0 or 1 gun, 1 or 2 bombs of: Acheron, Sentenza, Dark Retribution, Shivermist, Ash of Agni, Venom Veiler, Polaris, Glacius, Warmaster Rocket Hammer, maybe DA (don't use that often). Trinkets: Bomb and Sword CTR Med.
(Did that Basil run earlier today, and Venom Veiler was especially fun with Menders around in the Jigsaw levels; they killed the whole lot of other monsters, leaving me to just pick the two of them off before they revive each other.)
But the thing is, if T3 Gremlin missions may drop the shield too, we could just do Beyond Axes of Evil. That mission is 3 levels of Jigsaw fun. (Noted pay-out 1746 - 2011 so far. Which is slightly better than the T3 Basil run in the blue skull gate, which also doesn't pay off.)
:/ I cant join a new guild...Too attached to my guild...BUT I still wanna help! ^_^
@Mickmane Im very glad that you understand and welcome!!!
@Artistbma Well, Im not gonna force you to join. I havent even said yes to Dani yet. ^^
I guess I'm in, unofficially. Name's Xairathan, I'm more of a solo runner, I specialize in Shadow weapons, and prefer staying in the guild I'm in. I will, however, be available (Mist providing) for Danger Rooms, OCH, and gremlin-themed Prestige.
http://imgur.com/59vlG Yeah.
Well, at least it's still a Triforce. Quadforce doesn't sound right.
okay, now i'm 4*! i'm joining, this second.
also, i too am attached to my guild.
No problem and dont worry bout it. Not even sure if I should make it. But sure, thanks dread king
just noticed, are we already getting pushed to the back? because we're already on the second page. we lasted a while, but we'd need a bit of support if this'll work.
in game name:
<---------------------
bit of a mouthful, so just call me dread.
Watching the gates today for the new gate to come out, you know to replace our only existing gremlin gate, and saw no gremlin gate being built. Earlier it was said we don't need to make every gate gremlin, which is true but we need at least one. I ended up paying players for their minerals and suffice to say we have our new gremlin gate. Not to bad by the looks of it. I await Xairathan's analysis.
I built stratum 6 as gremlin and made stratum 5 fire through anti-mineral disruption of shock. Since it was my money I saw fit to design the gate as I wanted it. If others prefer stratum 5 gates then build them. But when this gate expires I plan to, and will pay too (for all you out there), to replace it with another stratum 6 gremlin. Personally I feel I get better odds and a better payout with it being on stratum 6 and I don't mind spending time in the long forgotten clockworks.
Happy Hunting! and See you at the Finish Line!
i tried to make a difference, but that never occurred to me. thanks!
yeah, i might as well join you on that assessment
The new gate came out and its beast not gremlin. I started a UFSC run and it was gremlin so I though all is well. Come back and its beast. We're losing our momentum guys. Keep at least one stratum in tier 3 gremlin. ATM I guess its okay on acount we have 2 gate already with Gremlin but please make an effort to make the next vana gate gremlin themed on Stratum 5. That way I can hunt and do vana all in one fail swoop.
@Koi-Wa-Sensou: Nice analyses but the Treasure room does have a good chance of dropping the Shield just in general regardless of the stratum's theme. How come you didn't do one for Golden Rook?
Also from what i have thus observed I think its in our best interest to make stratum 6 gremlin not 5 on account we'll get better and more levels at the lower depths. In the Sapphire Skull lets face it those levels suck and there are only 4 of them, half of which you cant even really call Gremlin. Also to avoid a future onslaught of Aurora Isles levels the 3rd most mineral in the gate should be the green ones. The Yellow ones yield Aura Isles, a little thing i learned long ago.
Well happy hunting all and see you at the finish line!
