Most of you may have noticed that for 14th february, AE released a new Snugglefest Event, called Matchmaker.
I am not going into detail on the quest, but there is a scene where you
transform into Galanoth, and fight some monsters with a bouquet of
flowers (long story).
The scene is a common AQ type of quest, with its usual bright comedy and zany misadventures.
Galanoth's set, however, is not.
You have a 44% to everything armor (with a below average attacks), and a
shield that only appears when the armor is equipped and sets every
element to 21%.
Meh, you might say. How good can a puny armor and shield with everything
to 21% be? Maybe good for fighting Goggs and Nagas, but nothing out of
the ordinary.
The set's true potential, however, appears when used with its weapon and armor special.
I'll explain the weapon first.
- Spoiler:
Its description tells us it is a 0-0 earth weapon. When used with any
armor other than Galanoth's, its BtH goes to the skies (Not missed once
again Wolfwing), but is fixed to an earth element weapon.
When it is used WITH Galanoth's Form, its element goes from a simple
earth to a lesser element-seeking weapon, but, for some reason, loses
the Bth.
As for the armor special:
- Spoiler:
This is the strongest skill in AQ's history. Again, it changes any
weapon to lesser element-hit, but for its SP cost, 4 attacks is nothing.
With the flower boquet, it lesser element hits, gets the BtH back up and
flying, and its damage is boosted around 7x. This means you can destroy
tanks without breaking a sweat. In fact, I defeated every single
undefeatable in Aq Elite's list barring Carnax 1 on 1, so give it a try!
This concludes the explanation of what works what.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET THE ARMOR:
a)Today's Event -> SnuggleFest -> Match Maker (In case this goes
rare, open Admin Menu, and write "quest-matchmaker.swf" no quotes in the
box in order to access the quest).
b)Go through the quest (All dialogue, so use F5 to skip).
c)Get to the fight, and use "Back to Town" in Elite Hacks to get to Battleon.
d)You should have transformed into Galanoth, his build being that of a Pure Warrior scaled to your level.
e)In order to get your equipment back, just swap the order of two items
in your inventory. You will be able to use all your weapons, spells, and
shields.
f)If you read the explanation, you might remember I said the two most
overpowered set items were the armor and the weapon. Well, a close third
is the shield. It still gets you to 21% every turn, BUT this is
regardless of any shield you have equipped, and miscs can still decrease
your resistances. This means you get to keep the shield effect without
caring of its resistances. Use any IronThorn and Power Shard: Hogg to
get the maximum damage possible.
g)This is where the paths diverge. You can either use the SP hack (F4)
in order to get unlimited skills, or simply play legally until you get
the SP required. You will, however, keep a Pure Warrior build, so, if
you want to change it you can either untrain and retrain Galanoth's
stats or re-login to reset your character.
NOTE: I am not exactly sure how this works, but it seems the XP gained
as Galanoth if you don't swap your inventory items is added to your
character as you relogin.
