Peridots Quest For Cygnus Lvl 120

Is it supposed to take 9 hours to get 3 out of the 5 peridots for the last quest?

This is killing me and have no more damn motivation.

Is it Blood Harps or Reg Harps? Do any of them drop more then others? I need to know

Thanks BM.

You just one shot all of the harps before they can curse or darken you and you can harvest all of the peridots within an hour. That's how I did it on my wind archer.

[quote=iStarBright]@brandonta98: yes. if you work a part time job for weapon and armory for 6 hours, you get a 0.5x drop[/quote]

Oh. So that would be 1.5x then. I thought you meant your normal drop rate was reduced to 0.5x

Drop rate isn't that. Here are some tips.

1. Go hunt peridots at [b]blood harps[/b]. It's better to not be able to jump, rather than missing 50% of the time. The blood harp map allows you to move around all the platforms even if you can't jump.

2. Whether this works or not is beyond me, but I find that it helps (Tricking the mind does wonders). Every time you get a peridot, switch to a different channel and resume your hunt. Supposedly, this resets the drop rate/chance or something.

3. Make use of the Giant spider familiar (Obtainable from Edelstein mines) it increases the drop rate a little.

Most of all, this just requires patience. Grab a snack, put some music on, or watch some t.v while you hunt. Just make sure you pay attention to your health/mana and properly look around for a peridot (You'd be surprised at how often you miss one, 'cause other drops are cluttering up the map).

[quote=lukie1993]@iStarbright you mean 1.5%? if not, you'd say that you will gain half less drops..[/quote]

She meant 50% or 1.5x. 1.5% seems rather unlikely don't you think

Find peridot -> Change channels -> Repeat.

[quote=iStarBright]Both blood and regular harps drop peridots. I prefer blood harps because you also have the chance of getting Hwabi drops, which are good to sell. It took me 5-6 hours to get 5 peridots on 0.5x drop.[/quote]

Wait. 0.5x?

It's legit hell. I've had my friend, and he only got 1 more for me in 2 hours. I don't get how you guys get them so fast. I always get cursed and darkened and urghhh!

It's supposed to take 6 hours to get 3/5. You're just unlucky.
