Ingredients and Stats Giantsbane - 46Atk / 46Def This recipe is 2 non-gifts and a gift, correct? GIFT + (level 600 unlock item) + OTHER NON-GIFT At level 600, you are allowed to buy the Surtr Fire Sword and can do the adventure "Raid the Great City of Utgard" to earn Utgard Guard. So we choose from 1 of 2 level 600 items, a gift, and some other Jotunheim item. The items unlocked in Jotunheim at or before level 600 are: Adventures Rock Giant (2 Rock Giants and 2 Shapeshifters make 1 Goliath) - (I don't have this one) Slith Blade - 34Atk / 40Def Giant Piranha (1 Giant Piranha and 1 Surtr Fire Sword and 1 Torch make 1 Giant's Blade) - 33Atk / 41Def Shapeshifter (2 Shapeshifters and 2 Rock Giants make 1 Goliath) - 25Atk / 21Def Utgard Guard - 25Atk / 28Def Rock Giant Rock Tunic - 35Atk / 40Def Rock Giant Club - 44Atk / 40Def Rock Giant Sword - 46Atk / 42Def Rock Giant Hammer - 42Atk / 38Def Purchases Vidar Berserker - 25Atk / 23Def (unlocked at level 480?) Broken Sword of Sigmund - 38Atk / 36Def (unlocked at 460?) Surtr Fire Sword (1 Surtr Fire Sword and 1 Giant Piranha and 1 Torch make 1 Giant's Blade) - 40Atk / 38Def (unlocked at level 600) If Surtr Fire Sword is used, I seriously doubt the Broken Sword of Sigmund will be used as well. But since that item is used in another recipe, I doubt it. Number of Combinations: 1 (Utgard Guard since SFS is already used) * number of gifts * 7 (8 total - 1 at level 600) The number of gifts is over 40, so the combinations are +280. EDIT: I counted 52 gifts, not including the March gifts (they came out AFTER the newest recipes), and also ignoring the various Secret Gifts. So we have 364 combinations to try.
Giant's Blade + (Jotunaheim Boss Drop, 4 choices) + (gift, ~50 choices) It would also make sense if Giantsbane uses Giant's blade... In fact I think it is the only good level 600 candidate I've seen - The world boss items are too powerfull, the fire sword was just used in the previous recipe and the Utgard Guard is not a weapon. So my best guess is that we are looking at Giant's Blade + (Jotunaheim Boss Drop, 4 choices) + (gift, ~50 choices) I tried this pattern with the gifts thor's hammer war belt since they associate with giants, but failed. Now waiting for someone to send me the loin cloth and other barbarian kind of items.
Loincloth is a March gift. It was released after the new recipes. And there may be a connection to the gift that we just don't realize at the moment... I actually hasn't considered the Giant's Blade. It *does* unlock at level 600...Do we *know* the other item is a Boss Drop?
Can the Rock Giant Sword be eliminated because it's attack value is the same as the Giantsbane? I think I will have time to run through another set tomorrow night.
Nope. RGS defense value is lower than GB? Then it can be used. And an item with a higher value in ONE of the two slots (attack/defense) can still be used, if the other slot is lower.
The loincloth can be eliminated from the recipe. Giants Blade + (All 4 Rock Giant drops) + loincloth = fail
All you obliviates, please take note *le sigh* FOR THE LAST FREAKING TIME: Loincloth Scroll Moon Stone Solar Eclipse Medallion WERE RELEASED AFTER THE NEWEST RECIPES! They will NOT be used! And if you play Pirate Clan, the gifts are: Cockatiel, Archimedes Sunfire Mirror, Turtle Soup, Condor Feather
trials Giant's Blade + (Jotunaheim Boss Drop, 4 choices) + (gift, ~50 choices) works not with the gifts in the following list thor's hammer war belt torch silver armband loincloth scroll moon stone solar eclipse medallion if anyone'd care to pitch in, just repost this list with some new gifts you have tried together with each of the possible boss drops. I'll try to do one or two a day.
i just hit 592 today so i havent been able to do any work on this thing yet. point of observation: has anyone done work with either of the lvl 600 world boss drops? either the fjorgyn battle axe or the bane skewer? after the headache the skyshine blade caused, the world drops feel like the right place to start.
so, no? no one has done work with either the fjorgyn battle axe or the bane skewer? there was one other post that MENTIONED the bane skewer but, it seemed more of an inquiry than a "these are the trials i did with the bane skewer" post. or did i just get trolled?
I think you got used for a post-count increase. Before your initial question, the only time those 2 items had been mentioned was a single post - along the lines of "I have a guess and I think it uses the Bane Skewer." That is it.
I wrote before that the lvl 600 world boss drops are not candidates as their stats are more powerfull than the object we are trying to create (ok, not in so many words, but it is there).
I am REALLY getting tired of saying this: Loincloth, Scroll, Moon Stone, Solar Eclipse Medallion (aka "March Gifts") are NOT going to be used! The *new* recipes were released in FEBRUARY! SIMPLE-SIMPLE-SIMPLE I just found it: "The world boss items are too powerfull, the fire sword was just used in the previous recipe and the Utgard Guard is not a weapon. So my best guess is that we are looking at..." Bane Skewer has 54 Attack and Defense, the same as the Fjorgyn Battleaxe. That is too strong. The Giant's Blade has 41 Attack and 44 Defense, which is not too strong and thus can be used. The 4 boss drop items are: Rock Giant Hammer - 42 Attack / 38 Defense Rock Giant Sword - 46 Attack / 42 Defense Rock Giant Club - 44 Attack / 40 Defense Rock Tunic - 35 Attack / 40 Defense Since the Giantsbane's power is 46 Attack and 46 Defense, all of those items are eligible. Giant's Blade + (Jotunheim Boss Drop) + gift Trials: Thor's Hammer War Belt Torch Silver Armband
