Crimsonwood Badge Exchange Results~

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

57. 5m
58. 5m
59. 5m

 

60. 5m
61. 5m
62. 5m
63. Crimson arcglaive (98 atk basically NPC)
64. Mesogear rings

LF>buff

 

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?

What maps do u guys recommend farming badges on? I'm not a mage (110 marauder atm).
Thanks!

 

Cavern of Valor for Nightshadows, Stormbreakers and Windraiders. Then take the torch teleport on the left to do Firebrands and finish the Stormbreakers. Finally exit the Firebrand cave and do Windraiders if needed. Crimsonhearts I always just buy cause I cannot be bothered

 

me trynna equip the ring in 2010

 

what are the subani ankh for?
can devolopers give it a function? or fixed value to NPC for $mesos?
maybe swap subani ankhs for dark tokens that can be exchanged for chaos scrolls?
(5 for 1 chaos scroll) via, NPC: ridley

Spoiler: swap subani ankh out for...?

Crystal ilbi

Also, change the meso reward from 5m to 7.5M??

 

Has anyone received a Raven’s Claw at all? I know 50 Shadow Badges has a chance of rewarding you with one?

 

16 rolls and i got mine i got one balance fury on my 4th roll but no SC

 

Found this thread while doing the quest chains, hoping to piggy back and ask:
Is the reward different for the different types of exchanges?
50 of one
25 of all
45 of all + 45 crimson

I'm sure it matters since everyone seems to be doing the last one, but I'm curious because I couldn't find this info anywhere

 

Yes, all have different rewards. The last one is a maplelegends custom exchange which has the best overall value, and is the one that everyone in this thread is doing.
