- Experimentation with skipping Pictimos with Toal.
- Disclaimer: the Pictimos skip can be FUCKING DIFFICULT.
- Zava fight difficulty when you decide to Skip Pictimos at 34 or 35, and sometimes 36
- can be alleviated by doing the invuln glitch. can't confirm why it sometimes wears off,
- but it's definitely got something to do with when she goes inside a head. i can literally stand there all
- day before she's low enough to do it without getting hurt, whereas sometimes i start getting
- hurt on the first head cycle. If you fail the fight the first time it becomes infinitely harder
- due to not having the glitch anymore.
- Not sure if it has enything to do with it, but when i attacked the heads using Inferno the glitch
- never fell off.
- Now a real analysis of exactly what each "route" becomes.
- No real estimates on time saves yet, but a vague idea.
- Can't find a better grinding spot than blighted blood (l0l).
- Normal Blighted Blood Grinding -4:
- Fighting Kishgal at 34 levels you to 39. fight is a struggle unless you're good at it.
- fighting Zava at 39 levels you to 44. fight takes FUCKING DAYS M80.
- Hugo 2 is still free to invuln glitch. Beating him at 44 levels you to 52 (a level higher than usual).
- For the record you melt Dallas super fast at 52.
- Doesn't really make Darm any faster. maybe 1 hit per cycle or so.
- The 34/39/44/52 route certainly has potential. With the least grinding(as far as not being SUPER long goes)
- this is actually pretty hard to execute. not sure if worth it for the difficulty and Zava time loss.
- Normal Blighted Blood Grinding -3:
- Fighting Kishgal at 35 levels you to 40. fight is a struggle unless you're good at it.
- fighting Zava at 40 levels you to ?. the fight takes almost as long and is as hard as at 39 for less benefit.
- this simply isn't worthwhile compared to 34/39/44/52 or 36/41/46/51. it's as slow and hard as 34/39/44/52,
- and yet requires more grinding. rather than this just do 34/39/44/52.
- Normal Blighted Blood Grinding -2:
- Fighting Kishgal at 36 levels you to 41. Fight can be a struggle, but doesn't take much longer.
- fighting Zava at 41 levels you to 46. fight takes a cycle or two longer depending on how well executed.
- Fighting Hugo 2 at 46 is the usual. that's always been the case.
- This is probably the best middle ground there's going to be. Kishgal fight takes a little bit longer, but
- is actually significantly harder than the old route. Zava is simple still, but takes a little longer
- due to being 4 levels lower.
- Normal Blighted Blood Grinding -1:
- Fighting Kishgal at 37 levels you to 42. fight can be a struggle unless you're good at it.
- fighting Zava at 42 levels you to 46. fight takes a cycle more, 2 if bad fight.
- Fighting Hugo 2 at 46 is the usual. that's always been the case.
- This is the easiest of the Pictimos skip routes that are worthwhile. also the safest/most consistent.
- Fights aren't particularly harder, and barely take any longer at all.
- I'm almost 100% certain this is better than fighting Pictimos if you can do the skip first try.
- Normal Blighted Blood Grinding:
- Fighting Kishgal at 38 levels you to 43. fight is a struggle unless you're good at it.
- Zava 43-46. the usual from here.
- Frankly i dont see any Benefit to doing this. Everything is same difficulty/time (ish) as 37/42/46.
- I'm certain that route is better, the extra level of grind doesn't really change anything.
- Closing thoughts and opinions: I'm pretty damn sure Pictimos skip is faster, but only if you get it first
- try. Maybe my runs will one day be good enough that i reset if i miss the skip, but as yet,
- I'm simply going to fight Pictimos as usual if i miss the skip.
- For now, i'm going to fight Kishgal at 36, and see if there's any significant change/problems.
- If i can execute the post-skip part of that well enough, i'm going to jump straight to fighting
- Kishgal at 34.
- Yes, this means if i fail the skip i will be fighting Pictimos at levels 36 and 34 respectively,
- but i'm sure it wont be too bad, since i'll still be more levelled than if i get the skip.
