Sir Hyronimus Quatermain!

It's been almost one week since my last post, a lot of school works made me hardly got any time to sit down and write here! But now it's weekend, and I'm free :D

As you all know that we have the first ghostathon mission in November. And the reward is the last part of the best traditional contract out there which is SHQ.3. With -3 t/sc, x2 loot multiplier, this contract will surely introduce the new speed-raw power-full loot setup which is

Danse Macabre - Neon Lights - SHQ - Leprechaun - any bait - Twilight ID - MCC - Witch Cauldron.

How cool is that!! :D

I just realized that I am mumbling out of topic due to pure excitement of getting SHQ.3. Lol. Back to the mission, just arm your lowest cooldown with raw power setup (I don't recommend you to use mystic since it is risky). Go to the castle where you can get 100% catch rate with the raw power and hunt there. You should be able to finish the mission within 2 days.

While I am using Nightcap and Little Nessy for this mission, my friend told me that he was able to reach 1.5 min cooldown without any -t/sc from the bait. I was wondering how could it be done? Because the implications are big for this: you can simply hunt with mocktails that have no -t/sc bonus (generally mocktails with -t/sc bonus are expensive). His setup was:

Slapping Machine - Neon Lights - Dana Hunter - Diamond Whelp - any bait - Cosmic ID - MCC - Witch Cauldron

with about 266 raw power. With SHQ you can do the same, but the raw power will be around 340. Enough for going into Kirkyard Cemetery! This is one of the big implications of the SHQ contract.

Another implications will be on raid setups. Instead of using usual arcane-raw for minions and arcane-mystic for bosses, now we can implement traditional-raw for minions and bio-mystic for bosses, since the loot multiplier is better.

For minions:

SHQ gives x2 while SN only gives x1.75 and CW only gives x1.5

For bosses:

LR gives x2 while MM gives nothing

TWL gives x2.5 while SN only gives x1.75 and CW gives x1.5

so theoretically even you don't have white lady contract, bio contract is still slightly better. However bio contract can be less-mystic power if it's not set correctly, therefore you need to consider it carefully before going for raid.

Well I think that's all for today's post. I am planning to write about monster hunting sometime later on which will be very interesting. So stay tuned for the next updates!
