Crimsonwood Badge Exchange Results~

Now that snowman is gone, I have resorted to cruel and unusual methods to make mesos.

First exchange attempt, and a first attempt at duo client attacking (trio client counting the Priest for HS). I used a lv124 STR/LUK F/P Gishlet and a regular stat lv135 Paladin, mostly using a Heaven's Hammer + Meteor combo, sometimes hitting mobs with Advanced Charge or Blast during the HH cooldown. Occasionally to finish off mobs during the cooldown I used Explosion and basic attack on the mage (her magic misses occasionally, physical attacks are a sure hit), and she was also the item looter.

​

This one took much longer than the other exchange attempts posted here. Didn't record how long it took, since I was constantly switching maps to figure out what worked and what didn't. I'll try to record the amount of time 45 of each etc takes once I have a strategy worked out, assuming I don't give up and try a different meso method instead. Also debating just trying the single-badge exchanges for Raven weapons and Taos. Clearly spent over 6 hours farming etcs for this one, but this duo can perform better with a proper strategy in place.

I've really enjoyed reading through this thread. This exchange seems like a fun way to break up the grind by punctuating it with a little reward after gathering the etcs. I hope other exchanges are revitalized as well. Orbis Exchange gives fantastic EXP early on, but the Showa Exchange item pool needs some love (please add Japanese Map because Ninto can suck an egg, Male Boss drops like one equip every few hundred kills, and Leprechauns are... a weird, weird choice for a mob to drop Jmaps).

If I may add to the list of suggestions can we put a woodchipper NPC in Dead Man's Gorge to shred the hunk of crap staff into raw Crimson Wood?
