[XVc] The Bowazon

Gracias amigos! I've added the Athulua strategy, as I managed to kill her today after work.

I must say it is a really fun fight when you actually have to pay attention to her mechanics and abilities, instead of just 1 shotting her with mind flay like my pally did some months ago.

Awesome guide, Suchbalance !!!!! (at last, I´ve been able to read everything...when I finished, I felt like having a tea at 5 o´clock; perhaps a side effect or something ?).

A minor thing to comment, because that one is a terrain I´ve never explored:

Therefore only roll a single jewel 6 times at most

So I assume that even at the sixth roll you can get really good jewels; good to know!. Just for ease, when jewelcrafting I roll the jewel five times only (1 jewel per crystal), but as many times you get what you are looking for much earlier than on the fifth one, at the end I finished with some free arcane shards (well, being honest, with a huge collection of shards because as I don´t like to craft much, I do it eventually once I see that there are a lot of unique jewels+arcane crystals on my vault), so knowing that I have 1 more roll per jewel it is really welcomed, if only to reduce a little bit the "tetris" part I have to face at the end to pile all those remaining shards on crystals again  

P.D.: by the way, cookie´d at last.

Nice guide! Well done.

Tea is good for you mate, Earl Grey ftw

With regards to the jewels: 6 rolls still gives you a Jewel with an item level of 72 (the last time this will be greater than 71) so it has a 100% chance to spawn 4 random affixes.

If however you are only interested in 2 random attributes of the jewel. Say you want 2% LL and 2% dex and flat life, and don't care about anything else, then you can roll the same jewel 13 times (because on the 14th roll %dex and %attributes will not spawn). I'll add this to the guide too for more info!

I must say, a very, very good and detailed, complete guide. Congratulations! (Not gonna make a bowzon now, but it's a very good guide!).

Finally Marco publishes a detailed update of his Zoology guide!!! Oh......wait....

Just arsing about. Nice guide.

Right, I'll take that as a compliment then

Did Astro and added tutorial. Bowazon so stronK.

*Unless cheesed. He is killable with this character, but because I only like parmesan on my pasta I will not reveal the method here.

I guess you mean Athulua's Command Reflex Bow

Naughty, spoiling my pasta! And yes and a bucketload of nih runes.

Nothing to spoil dude, it's obvious :-D btw how muchy do nih runes increase duration?
