New walk of echoes
By Johnnyj 2011-09-22 20:33:41
Well from what I've experienced if you want coins, don't do the newer zones. I have yet to see a pouch in 8,9, or 10. Lucky to even see 1 coin in those zones. They seem to be more item based.
I did flux 7 about 7 or 8 times and got 12 coins of birth 9 coins of glory 10 ruin 2 advancement 2 decay. Three of those were pouches and when I did not receive a pouch I usually got 3 singles. I think I've gotten 3 coins total spamming 9 because that's what everyones doing. But, I did get Comet so guess it was worth it.

I can confirm this, saw it in run 8. We were getting about 3 red procs on each turtle boss.

30 minute wait or maybe do not allow you to do the same conflux more then once in an hour.

This has been in WoE since the beginning, but people haven't really bothered to explore it in detail. Maybe with the new system in place there will be people out there willing to explore it.

So has anyone opened #11 yet?
I'm sure by now #9 and #10 have been spammed enough on Carbuncle, but I think turtles are a cockblock.
Come on girls, I wanna do Catura WoE!
Edit: Or it could potentially be a Hahava type!
COME ON I WANNA KNOW.

I know that beforehand, proc'ing red on the bosses would cause them to almost always drop a coin. Given the inherent similarities between the new Walk of Echoes and Voidwatch, it may do something similar to what Treasure Hunter does for spectral alignment in Voidwatch

I sort of goaded the first group into doing #10 on my server, so I guess that's my fault.

I'm going to say I definitely hate the system. Despite high evaluations the coin drop rate is unbearable, the time until reenter is just boring as all hell, people are too stupid to know how to clear 8 and 10, and jp swarms rush through 9 making it hard for anyone to get over 8k in an evaluation, causing constant synthesis materials-onry chests.
It's terrible, simply terrible

On Odin, CF9 is basically the most popular one. It's entertaining to see around 100 people alone trying to crowd in there...as the clock ticks down, 3...2...1SPAMCLICKF8OHGODITSLAGGINGTOOBADMISSEDIT, then whoever didn't make CF9 goes to 8, then it's a game of whoever can get into that one first~

check every conflux (if u want coins) usually flux 7 and under u can find a small group in. anything less than cap will give u better chance at coins.

lol and the ones who miss 9 and make it in 8 prolly make out better, unless that one caps out too.

I just finished with my 7th successful run on Conflux 6. Here're all the notable drops I got:
Coin of Decay x4
Coin of Birth x1
Coin of Adv. x2
Coin of Ruin x1
Coin of Glory x1
Pouch of Adv. x1 (5 coins)
Pouch of Ruin x1 (5 coins)
Accord hat x1
Migawari: Ichi x1
Horde Lullaby II x1
Random synth mats x21
Pretty decent drop rate on the coins. Unfortunately I got pouches on the 2 coin types I don't want >.< 2 of the runs had somewhere around 16-20 people and all the rest were below 10. My evaluations were in the 9K-13K range. The first few runs I did I organized just by shouting in WoE for people interested in flux 6. I chose this flux because I wanted the Fugacity Mantle to drop and because it appears the new spells can drop in any WoE battlefield (notice Horde Lullaby II in my list of loot).
On a side note, I seem to be remembering that the few pouches I heard other people have gotten since the patch all doled out 5 coins. They didn't change it so they always give 5 now, did they?
saw that no one made a post about this (guess it wasn't the highlight of the update). wanted to ask what everyone thinks of new WoE system and what your experiences have been with drops on old 7 as well as the new 4 fights.
for those that don't know. the update changed WoE so that everyone that enters is considered in a group, like campaign. also mobs DO NOT DROP COINS<<< BUT when you finish, you get judged by how much you did in the fight (like it used to be) but now, everyone gets their OWN loot. similar to voidwatch, but better drops. so everyone clicks chest, they all get their own items.
personally i've been getting coins pretty easily. did 4 or so runs and got 6 ruin, 2... something, and 1 of a few others. also have gotten 2 devious dice (yea and you will need 100 >.>; not a very high drop rate). also gotten plenty of random money items and magic scrolls.
the only new fight i tried was #8, which is a bunch of turtles. normal colored turtles spam tortoise song mostly and use other turtle abilities. white turtles spam tortoise smash and shell harden. final boss... didn't get too far before timed out XD I've heard of people getting new scrolls such as temper in WoE, so what's everyone's experience with that in the new fights?
mostly been doing them with japanese people that have been hanging out there, but i really hope this starts to pick up so its not impossible for people to get in them. you get around 7~10k exp per run (if you're doing stuff well) and ALWAYS get drops. plus no exp loss and you automatically get raised after 30 seconds, so its pretty easy to just jump in and go now.
tl;dr. what's your experiences with new WoE updates?
