The Question Hotline

First topic message reminder :

ceadeus tail.... been farming for them and only got two (from the repel only quest)

in the decisive battle, I've broken his tail numerous times and never got a tail.... (do i actually have to go to the tail and carve????)

(got deep dragon gem almost very time..... and 2 elderdragon blood in one run too...)

or does the repel only quest (save moga village) have a higher drop rate???

MAJOR BAD LUCK?

Seeing as how I have the widerange +1 godcharm, I think I may as well use it. Sure, +2 is what you want but I'd need a peco mix for that. I'd rather use my guild armor.
Only problem is, I'm not sure which potions work, how close I need to be, all that jazz. I know I can use seeds and give other people the effect, but I hardly notice potions affecting others. A clear description of what I can do would help a lot! /yes/

In order for you to see a notable difference in other peoples health when using a potion would be to get wide range +2, as items only affect the people around you in a small amount with wide range +1. If you can't get wide range +2 you'd be much better getting a more useful skill.

I have another question regarding wide range +2, does it affect life powders?
I would think not, but have been curious...

lifepowders already hav the wide range +2 affect so the skill wud be useless with it

not 100% positive on wide range +1, here's the list for +2:

Potion
Herb
Antidote
Might Seed
Adamant Seed
Dragonfell Berry
Firedouse Berry
Waterblock Seed
Stormsender Seed
Icethraw Pellet

No mega pots, and a potion is just not enough to save someones life. for the sake a of completeness I'll also mention grace earring is an option.

That's why I gave up on wide range and just sacrifice the 8 invertory slots to do 13 lifepowders.(5 books) With 10 slots it's possible to even do 23 lifepowders on a single quest but even 13 is really too many. But when you're with randoms, 3 doesn't always cut it.

Yah this is a noobish question but, does wide range +2 includenthe entire area?
And if so how much does Wide Range +1?

What element and weapon is the best when pursuing an Alatreon?

u kan use any weapon but most prefer lancing, Lsing, hammering, clusting, or the over-used SB method. the element is usually ice, dragon, or water

Go for ice element, it's very good WHEN HE'S NOT GLOWING BLUE!
When he IS GLOWING BLUE just flash him down and he'll probably change back.
The best weapons are ice weapons, but do the ones your best at, I use amber hoarfrost some people use sabertooth G or P. And if you are SnS'ing go for almighty dahaka (spelling?) but in the long run when you have ala weapons I'm not sure if you should use the ala weapons instead (probably should!)

theres no such thing as sabertooth P and u kan use water also since hes affected by it in both red and blue form

Oh wow, must of thought of something else XD

The best sns would be Nardebosche, as it's an ice element sns, just saying...

Well, I would para; so everyone else gets more hits, but you doing damage wise, pick nardebosche.

Thanks for the replies with the wide range question, but just to clarify, this is because of a wide range +7 OO charm I got. I wanted to know just how useful it would actually be on a set with no slots (ie low rank guild). I tried it a bit this morning with potions, but the healing on others is tiny with it. As for the area it covers, it seems to be pretty far actually. At least the distance a 100 range gun's bullet will travel, give or take a bit. I'll probably just get grace earrings, but I wanted to do something with the only godcharm I've ever gotten.

If you're going to do max damage than use a bowgun to inflict status

As I stated in my first post I am talking about the SnS category.
Now let's all please stop argueing...

Right, and if you're SnSing then nardeboshe is the best choice.

Status SnS is really bad

Ok thanks guys I will go for the nerdebosche. /yes/

WHAT!
You said status SnS is really bad!?!
I have to admit nardebosche is better damage wise
But those few seconds when the monster is para'd and you're friends do lots of damage is PRICELESS...

Yeah... you para the monster twice in the hunt. That's well and good, except that your damage contribution is roughly equivalent to attempting to turkey slap that uragaan to death. 20s of paralysis doesn't make up for not doing any damage.
