Now a while ago i decided to complete the bahama quests. just like that. just for fun cuz i was bored. 1st i camped for FF, and finally got it.. next obstacle was getting the elite amber bee. did that in 30 mins, i think i was lucky.
next one was getting normal aidanium and normal quartz which noone seem to have. luckily my Faction leader had it. did that, completed the quest, ran from the house back to Base Camp a few times, and the quest chain was complete.
next on the menu was the Gavin quest.
Note, the only hard part for me here was killing Novia. using pioneering/E84 armours and E92 weapons with brunie and ele, was kinda pain.
Anyway, as soon as you enter the ice wizards tower, you get teleported to an instance. if you computer is relatively new, or you don't lag, you have a chance of exploiting a bug there. as soon as you are ported in the mission run just a meter or two, forward, just to get the Veteran bless buff. it gives Atk/aspd/HP and AR/DR bonuses.
wait a second or two and 5 raidbosses will spawn. Novia, the purple dude, and 3 overgrown yu-gi-oh characters. be careful, if you ran too much ahead, the bosses will kill you in a second, before the conversation even starts, thus ending the mission before it even begins.
if you don't run forward to get the buff. wait till the conversation between the NPC's is over, and try to run inside the circle. after some time, i did manage to get the Veteran Bless buff, so there are basically two ways of getting it.
and you definetly need a Lightning ele for Novia.
Basically what i needed was: 10.000 hp pots, 17k bullets, 20 invisible pots, and a lot of patience.
first thing that happes after conversation: the three bosses aggro you, and use skills at the same time. thats 3x9k dmg for me with my armours, wichc was too much. so: you run away from the mobs, get your team killed, except you scout, use invisible pot to loose aggro, the bosses will aggro Gavin and Selva, you get back to your two members with your scout, ress them, run as far away as possible, and rebuff. then: TAKE DOWN BOSSES ONE BY ONE, NOVIA THE LAST!!!!
it will ease the mission, and you can kill Novia in few minutes.
so after you have taken down the raidbosses, start preparing for novia. use lightning bracelets on your ele, to deal her the dmg. now what i did, was to scatter my team so her attacks wouldnt hit them all at once. then i just spammed Lightning spells on novia. Brunie, fully buffed, her Aspd 11 with outrage got 75% of her attacks blocked by novias buff, so she was quite useless. the scout died the first. brunie was a few minutes later, and then i just spammed potions and spells.
now novia does tend to "freeze" your chars so be careful. i always forgot to bring Antidotes for my scouts recovery skill, so i was more or less frozen.
but after 12 long hours of trying, countless HP pots, and 40m in vis (dun ask), i managed to drop Novias hp on 50%, at that point a Conversation starts and selva or gavin kills the Novia with one strike. (which is pretty much retarded because a) they were both dead at that time b)Why didnt he/she use the skill in the first place ffs -.-)
so after that part you only need to complete the Katovic soup quest in order to get Gavin.
so I did.
and I got him.
stats?
STR: 6
AGI:5
HP: 6
DEX:7
basically a fighter with slover atk spd, and a wee bit more criticals.
and afetr VET-ing him, you may choose to give the point in AGI (to get a stock fighter with a bonus DEX), or just give him the point in STR like 90% of the melee fighters.
but do remember that he also has Outrage and sightshot. meaning that giving in AGI/DEX would make him a weaker shooter. which i dont recommend. just use rapiers on him. and after Selva comes out, get him, and Edward, and Selva in the team to get the 3man team buff :)

The one about Epic Grade Glazium equpiment (Pioneering)
Now, today i finally got my Gpoints. It took them 14 days to send me the friggin' codes heh. the codes must really be a pain to type since it took them two weeks, to write 30 numbers.-.-
anyway.
First thing i did was by Vet scroll for Calyce, and gave her a E92 Crossbow. then i accidentally teleported meyself to the wrong side of the town, and i ended up near the Pioneering support soldier.
So just for joke i tried a Lvl 100 poineering dagger for my Vet lisa. since shes already using pioneering Leather Armour, i expected to get a 26AR weapon that would match the DR of a Pioneering lvl 100 armour. what i got was a surprise. The dagger came with a 29AR!!!! so i quickly +5ed it, and got myself a 30AR dagger for 4X epic glaziums and 5Mp heh. you cant get cheaper than this. and kicking in a lvl 100 chip i almost got it with godly stats.
Now for people who don't know whats the bonus of chipping Pioneering equips let me tell you this.
Chipping armour will ALWAYS get : -DEF UP
-EVA UP
-M.SPD UP
-HP UP
-Mental res up.
and you always get ALL of those bonuses. not just one or two, but ALL!!!
Similair with the pioneering 100 weapons:
-ATK UP
-A.SPD UP
-CRITICAL UP
-MENTAL dmg
(and for ranged gear you get accuracy bonus)
now imagine spending 5mp for a 30 AR weapon, chipping it once, and not being afraid that chippin will only throw a chip away. (it usually takes me 2 chips to get atleast 36% atk up, and around 25-28% aspd up.)
those are the good sides.
Bad sides:
You can get Glazium only via ingame shop (and some quests), and Epic grade glazium only from quests. the costs are comulative. first weapon 4 pieces, next weapon of the same txpe, +4 pieces, next weapon of the same type +8 pieces... ect. so for 3 swords you'd need 4+8+12 pieces of Epic glazium. (and ofcourse 15Mp)
My Advice: if your E84 weapons dont dmg mobs the way they used to, get Pioneering lvl 100.

The one about Calyce Bernelli
So on saturday, i sold enuff of my items to buy me 50mp and get a Calyce RNC card. shes like a younger sister of Grace, the only difference is, she's not a "investigator" or a "policeman" as her bigger sis, but shes an assassin. She has both dagger stances (Escrima and Corte Duplicado), and along with those she has Arbalester and Saggita Crossbow stances.
crossbows are supposed to have same strength as rifles, but as far as i can tell, their strength is between Shotgun and a Rifle.
Her stats is actually pretty good
STR:5
HP:5
DEX:7
AGI:7
which is a wee bit faster than a normal musk, and a wee bit weaker than one. but vet-ing her would increase her DEX to 8 thus making a fast musk. Altough im still thinking of giving her vet point in AGI, which would make her attacks with a Bow insanely fast, and i could stil gain a lot if i choose to use her with daggers.
The quest:
2. Talk to the Mercenary Soldier beside Calyce to start an instanced mission involving combat. The level of mob is dependent on your level. (You can stay out of combat and let the NPCs do the fighting.)
3.Talk to the Mercenary Soldier again and give him 50 Mystery Powders.
4.Talk to Princess Gabriel. She is in the Reception Hall, Cite de Reboldoeux.
5.Return to Calyce to receive Calyce Character Card. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lv 60 crossbow
1.With Calyce as leader, talk to the Gurtrude Peterson (Jean-Pierre Gascon). He is located at F9, City of Auch.
2.Talk to Gurtrude again and choose the option to eavesdrop.
3.Talk to Gurtrude again after the cutscene.
4.Talk to Gerald. He is in Pegadilla, Port of Coimbra.
5.Talk to Calyce to receive a lvl60 Crossbow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sagitta Stance Book
1.With Calyce as leader, talk to Gerard.
2.Talk to the Mercenary Soldier nearby.
3.Move to the indicated location at F2, Porto Bello, Deserted Quay. The trigger spot in somewhere between the six pillars.
4.Talk to Mamon to start an instanced mission involving combat with Mamon. (He takes a while to appear.)
5.Go inside the Sea Elephant Cafe of Port of Coimbra and talk to Gurtrude and Gerard. (They are a little bit hard to click on. Rotating the camera helps somewhat.)
6.Remove Calyce from active team, go to City of Auch, and talk to Auch's Gurtrude using any other character.
7.Put Calyce back in team, head back to Deserted Quay, and talk to Mamon to start another instanced mission.
8.Let Calyce's HP fall under 50% (or just let her die) in the mission and Fritz will appear. Talk to Fritz to receive the Sagitta Stance Book.
now the first thing that is wrong here is that it lacks certain info.
YOU NEED TO BE IN BARON MODE, FOR CALYCE TO TALK WITH MAMON.
I really almost lost my nerves with this part, because someone wrote the guide, forgot this part of the info, and now everybody is copy+pasteing it, not knowing that it's wrong.
Is she worth those 50Mp and a freestancebook with a quest (or 60.000pesos), depends on your laziness lvl.?
it think so. I'm making a Brunie/Ele/Calyce team anyway, so nothing will survive long enuff to hit meh :D
