RB Gamma Info

EDIT: Sorry, don't know where my brain went. I meant RB DELTA.

What exactly are the responibilities of a Veno in RB Delta? I need to get past the 4th wave in Delta for my culti quest. Since I've only done a few Gamma runs with a squad that didn't know what they were doing, I need some more info.

From what I've read/heard from people, this is what a Veno is supposed to do:

After Brambling the tank and BMs, they run to the last room of the bean collecting area. Set the Herc to kill the mobs, and mine the chests. When told to, teleport/run back to main area. Help kill the boss, collect reward, give the beans to the leader, and repeat till all the beans are collected. Then help DD. Use Nova and Fox Form Myriad skills when possible and just generally pick off any mobs that go near the Cleric.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, left something out, or something needs to be elaborated on.

Questions:

1. While running to the last room of the bean collecting area, there's a big pit in the floor with stones you jump on to cross over. I heard it's faster to just drop into the pit than jump on the stones. Is this true? Does it work both coming and going?

2. What about the quests in the bean collecting area? Are Venos typically the ones responsible for them? And if so, which npc gives them and how do you complete them?

Thanks for any info/insight you can give.

    For Question #1 I believe it is the same as in Gamma. Sometimes its faster to fall running there, but NEVER do it running back. When u run back over them you will get rewarped back to where you were.

    #2 That i believe is the Job of some other class, but in Delta im not 100% sure. b:surrender All i know is you talk to each NPC that leads to the final room in order, then Repeat.

    I haven't moved to Delta yet, but from what I have heard - Veno does running quests and tanks first 2 bosses. Haven't asked for details yet.

    I'm sure every group does things a little differently, but heres how the groups I've gone with have done things:

    1st wave:
    Run the quests, cleric will tank the boss, go back when everyones called in for the kill.
    Use teleport insence when you make it to the end of the quests. Should get 5-6 quests done if you Holypath/charger orb/Demon fox. After the boss, stick around for a minute because the leader will need to talk to the bean npc, and make sure he gets the bonus beans.

    2nd wave:
    Same as first wave, but you will likely finish your quests now. After you turn in your last quest, run all the way back to the last room and start mining chests and killing mobs. You might be called to teleport back, for bonus bean npc randomly. The cleric should kill first boss alone, and everyone should finish all the chests+mobs in time for the second boss. Yay done with beans. Pewpew boss.

    3+ waves:
    Parasitic Nova is the key here, they should have chi aura up and it should be fairly spammable. Try to time it after BM's Heaven's flame for more damage(dragons). Parasitic when its on cooldown. Alternatively use Beffuddling mist + MyriadRainbow(fox).
    (NOTE: Demon Parasitic nova(lvl99 skill) -overwrites- Heavens Flame, and has less curse, try to space it appart and not ontop of Heavens Flame)

    9th wave:
    If demon, you will probably be relief puller(barb will take first half) on the last wave, have vaculity powder. Just grab the mobs and drag them out. Basically just stall so your party can survive, then run back and continue as normal.


    Good ideas for genie:
    Expel (helps wiz or yourself if in danger)
    Alpha Male (pulls aggro, helps for relief pulling)
    Holy Path (helps on quests + relief pulling)

    Always have:
    5+ Vaculity powder
    15+ Teleport Insence
    HP Charm

    Good stuff but not neccisary:
    Apothecary protections/imunity
    Multiflavor Jiaozi
    Chi Powder
    Speed powders


    I think thats right, lol.
