  1. Hey, Doctor Haldarn of Alexander here!

    I just visited a Strange Apparatus beneath the Eldieme Necropolis. Using the information you've collated and experimented on, I was able to pick my timing with tremendous results!

    It's Windsday, Last Quarter Moon (60%). Don't know if it makes a difference, but I was facing due West to use the apparatus and equipped myself with an Ice Staff for good measure!

    Overall, I only had four Clear Chips on me. They achieved the following results:
    #1 6x Rune Arrow (Boooo!)
    #2 Arcane Flowerpot (Yay! Exactly what I wanted!)
    #3 Rune Blade (Well, why not!)
    #4 Arcane Flowerpot (Most awesomely excellent! That should cover my 88,500 gil outlay nicely!)

    Thanks for your advice Doctor Aaiaa. Good luck in your future studies... I hope you crack the secret of these Strange Apparatus!

  4. Hello~wello, Doctor Daimonics of Diabolos reporting today! (tounge twister there huh?)

    Well, I'd like to say thank you for actually having this site up still after all these years, all the attempts of trying and getting crap and runes I can't use etc etc, till I found this a few months back. Sadly by time I had what I thought was the good chance to throw my stuff into the boil of wonders, I had no time to get back with you and this site on what I found. Needless to say I'm currently waiting a different opptune time to try again. I can vaguely give you what I remember from last time I did this with 5 attempts (5 chips, 5 cores, blah blah), however this time will only be 4 (kinda getting broke)

    This took place in Dangruf Wardi, I recall it being Firesday to match the chip, and remember not a full moon but rather it was 95-98% this I'm not sure or, nor if it was before or after the 100%.

    My findings where:

    Cerment chunksx6 (x3)
    Rune arrows x6
    Arcane Pot x1

    can't say that made up for it all seeing as I nearly spent over 100k for chips, but the cerment made up for some.

    However here is my next attempt today, and now being New Moon (%5) after 0%...Total opposite I know right?! Watersday, oh and yet again at the Wardi.

    Cerment Chunks x8
    Rune Baghnakhsx1
    Cerment Chunks x8
    and finally...
    Arcane Flowerpotx1 (W00Taru!!)

    So now I'm torn, but the thing is I'm using this site to hone in on the flowerpots, I now have 18 spaces to fill and gawd that's alot of gil. However, lets hope that means more info for this site from me, with hopefully less winded speeches.

    The Taru stuck in a Galka's body,
    Daimonics

    p.s. Love the music selection, by now it's the frist thing I do when I log in here is pop-out the list to another window. =)
