All-Round Setup Made Possible

This weekend we have a very interesting mission titled 'Feat of Strength', where we are supposed to trap 300 ghosts, 15 monsters, 6 special ghosts, 10 raid ghosts, 30 party ghosts, and 50 midnight ghosts.

As you know that all of these type of ghosts requires their own specific attributes:
  • 300 ghosts generally need low cooldown time with enough raw power;
  • 15 monsters need a considerable amount of malty mist and mystic power;
  • 6 special ghosts need Nessy's as bait;
  • 10 raid ghosts need a raid team (this is separate case actually);
  • 30 party ghosts need mocktail/Nessy's as bait;
  • 50 midnight ghosts need some midnight attractions during the day and low cooldown during the night.
Of course the first logical question that comes up to my mind is, can I craft a setup that can satisfy all those requirements? Some arguments arise on whether we should choose raw or mystic based setup, mocktails or Nessy's, or if we choose Nessy's will it be wasted and such.

Surprisingly enough, there is one setup that can satisfy all the requirements and answer all of my concerns above! That magical setup is:

The Black Knight, Wax Pyramids, Black Widow, Mr Alistair Crow, Amber Dragon Whelp, Cosmic ID, MCC, Witch Cauldron, Ice crystal

The raw power supplied by TBK is enough up to Count Church (320 raw by itself). The mystic power supplied by MAC and WP as the main source; while ADW, Cauldron, Blackwidow, MCC, all contribute as secondary source to total up around 72 mystic. Low cooldown supplied by TBK, BW, ADW, Cosmic, MCC, and Ice crystal, reducing the total cooldown up to 2.5 minutes (with tombstone collection of course). Midnight attractions coming from TBK and WP itself, while Malty mist contributed by BW, ADW, and Cauldron are enough (12) to attract monster steadily.


The second trick in this setup is to arm this in Count Church; with BW armed it is quite easy to attract Frost Ghosts as party ghosts and Green-eyed Temptresses as Specials. Why I don't use Nessy? Well, you may use Nessy if you want to, but with one word of warning that it will give you 100% catch rate with 2 min hunts, so don't complain if your bottles of Nessy are gone quickly!

The only drawback of this setup is that I sacrificed all the loot multiplier stats. The only loot multiplier you have is from the cauldron and mini mocktail collection (if you have it). But given such a tough mission, I don't care about the loot multiplier, since the loot (reward) from the mission is HUGE! lol :D

See you on the next post!
