I'm a casual player; not in a full time or even part time event linkshell... I recently completed my PUP Relic +2 augmented gear...since I tend to use Pup/thf in dynamis CoP zones to make money (I generally get about 1mil per day from a solo run)... I use the gil to fund my personal solo adventures...which have been as of yet:

Getting PUP relic +2 to full augmentation (which I just recently completed) and I'm VERY VERY happy with the set. Now I'm completing BST relic +2, (not augmented yet)... I'm 4/5 +2 monster just waiting to get the +1 monster trousers from the NPC this upcoming sunday to finish those to +2, then I'll work on augmenting them via Dynamis, but to the purpose of this post:

I've always been interested in the Magian Scythe (+dmg, Occ attck twice)... but have been a little hesitant to take on Verthrandi... I've seen no testimonies about successful solos' and most people don't do Urd/Skuld runs, even with shouts... so I decided: I'm gonna solo the entire trial from beginning to end.

As I write this I'm not quite finished but this is my current progress:

Trial 512: Barbastelle x3 (completed)
Trial 513: Ah Puch x3 (completed)
Trial 514: Donggu x3 (completed)
Trial 520: Arcana x400 (249 remaining)
Trial 521: Hippogryphs x300 (300 remaining)
Trial 522: Trade.Eye of Verthandi x10 (6/10 storage)
Trial 1456: Trade.Manananggal's Necklet x10 (10/10 storage)
Trial 1466: Trade.Mictlantecuhtli's Habit x20 (20/20 storage)
Trial 2042: Trade.Daybreak Souls x30 (30/30 storage)
Trial 2445: Trade.Increscent Shade x50 (50/50 storage)
Trial 2878: Trade.Silver Mirror x150 (150/150 storage)
Trial 3341: Trade.Riftsand x150 (150/150 storage)

I'm excited because I didn't expect this trial to be as easy as it has been so far. I wanted share this experience since many may think some of these weapons are outside their grasp. This is proof that the magian scythe +dmg path occ attack twice can be effectively solo'd and within a fair reasonable period of time. I started this path about a week ago..and I'm almost done.. solo using a combination of PUP and BST.

^.^/ Just need to wrap of the last few Eyes, then it's just getting the rest of the kills which are easy prey.

/cheers and good luck to all...

I may look at the Great Sword Occ Attck Twice +dmg path now... hmm. :)

Should've done the Great Sword first.
If you finish that next, you'll never use that scythe again.
Silly thread, but gl!

I have 4 mains I focus on... PUP, BST, SCH and DRK (as FYI)... I'm 5/5 Entropy, not Resolution... I'm impartial to the scythe weapon on my DRK. That's the reason why I'm focusing on getting the weapon completed.

DRK is a fun job to me; and I've always adored it's concept. During VW runs I generally go Scholar or switch out to PUP (there's no shortage of DDs).

@Kvazz--I don't believe this is a silly thread; and it's not my intention to waste anyone's time. Someone out there may have similar interests-so what's the purpose of a forum/information board if not to share information it right? :) The only silly question is the one not asked.

My goal is this:

DMG+53
Occ. atk. twice

I was working on this scythe before I quit. I had everything complete except for the Eyes of Verthandi. Damn pixies. Best of luck!

Well goodluck to you casual player. It is good to see that this game still has many rewarding items for people who dont have the time to spam VNMs and go 0/200 on their drops. I solo'd many of my trials and even though it seemed long and tedious, you will get a good feeling in the fact that you didnt need any one to help you. You're your own boss!

After resolution came out.....dont think ill touch scythe on drk again, I have the 2-4hit scythe on drk, and havent found much use for it.... Entropy is a nice ws, just outdone dmg wise by resolution. >_>

only time I use scythe is when I feel like spicing it up in cb drk/rdm and spamming entropy, or when there is a lvl 5 vw weakness, or If im doing something like pil and I need to use Twilight scythe.......

btw...whats the proc rate on lvl 99 Occ attack twice weapon?
