Buster Quests have been around for about three weeks, but with the advent of the new Urgent Quest, Castrum Demonica: Hostility, and the upcoming Perpetual Madness Urgent Quest, there's never been a better time to take a moment and compile everything we know about them, and get them out there for your benefit. With this, you should be as prepared as you possibility can be for knocking down as many castle golems as you well please.

Hope it helps!

Hey ARKs Ops, I've uploaded a video of one of the last Rare Drop Koi Koi concerts for Ship 02; I miss it already now that it's gone.

Hey, SEGA/Phantasy Star Team, if you're reading this, maybe consider giving us one concert a week for this on Saturdays. We all really love it.

Anyways, Enjoy.

Give us Arks Dance Festival concert once a week. Probably on Saturdays.

Well, I try.

Hey ARKS Ops,

Yamato v2 has been on the global servers since September 23rd; Three weeks have gone by while we've combed the item logs for all drops on each ship in Global. Unfortunately, our findings indicate a strong possibility that something may be wrong with the drop pool or rates in NA in regards to the very coveted 14* Weapons that should have been added to the quest. Specifically, none of them appear to have dropped at all.

If you're interested, I've made a video here discussing the concerns and the case for them.

I'm not trying to be alarmist, but I just feel like the word should be gotten out to those who might well be unaware; It's only fair, after all, since a number of people paid good star gems for these triggers. They have a right to know ahead of time the scope of what may be happening, so they can make decisions regarding saving their remaining triggers and so on.

I put a video together on this as well to try and get the word out; I wouldn't necessarily agree with putting the blame completely on the idea that people aren't running it much. Even with the 66% or so rate of filling, you're still getting thousands of players running the UQ multiple times, across four different servers, with 9 potential 14* drops, and not a single one has dropped.

Add to that the fact that if we are indeed on the same patch as JP, we should have boosted EP4 drop rates from the 02/2018 update, and the 0%s across the board comes across as first and foremost a statistical anomaly, improbable despite the possibility.

Players that I spoke with seemed to indicate that the GMs are more than likely aware of the concerns, and some support tickets were even made about the issue, and aren't being closed or responded to, so there may be some more to this than first appears.

In any case, here's hoping we see some address at some point to the concerns, at least. Even a Yea/Nay response to whether it could be an issue would go a long way to assuaging people's concerns.

For those of you interested, the video is here

@coldreactive said in Crimson Fellwyrm Guide!:

I don't blame the others. I blame me for dying 11+ times every time I run this, even after I've memorized its mechanics on the second run; and still died 11+ times on the third run despite knowing all of its mechanics. I'm just really bad at dodging / timing things. I've even died using the sword three times

I haven't done black because I don't have any 80 characters.

Haha, I just have to have a bit of fun when making these things.

On the positive side of things, once you're good at Red, you're good at Black!

Hey ARKS Ops, I've come up with another guide, this time for the Crimson Fellwyrm UQ. If you're interested in a few heads-up or tips on the encounter, please take a look!

Personally, I find the class a bit clunky to work with. I do okay with it, but I prefer a handful of legacy classes that I've gotten a more fluid feel from, specifically SB Bouncer, in regards to melee fighters. I don't know, the class's timings just seem really off to me, and I'd be okay with that if it wasn't for the fact that DPS-meta seems to end up going that way in the end, meaning I'm just going to have to adjust.

I'll figure it out, though.

Hey ARKS Ops, I've been farming Yamato for my very own set of Jupiter Tullus Soaring Blades for so long that I ended up making a video guide on the encounter, just in case it might be helpful for anyone having trouble.

That's it, just wanted to share. I hope everyone is having good luck on their own treasure hunting journeys!
