How long do you think it would take to get 29 evil eyes via Pluderblade?

[Aelin Galathynius]

I have 1 more armour piece to make then 14 weapons to craft and upgrade once each.

So far I've actually killed Fatalis 4 times. Most hunts end very early in phase 2 if they even get that far.

At this rate I'm wondering if it would be quicker and easier to just Plunderblade the entire thing.

How long do you think it will take?

[Malakith`4f]

Quite a long time depending on your RNG. I've never gotten any with the plunderblade. Try breaking the head 2 times even if you don't manage to finish the fight, It will give you 1 guarenteed evil eye every time.

Almost as long as to come up with an answer :p

[Dokainin]

the plunderblade only has a 1% chance of rewarding evil eyes. a full hunt generally can have the cat plunder about 4 times. so you have roughly a 4% chance to get one every 25-30 minutes... so it would take you a very long time to get them that way.

Gaijin Hunter put out a video on how he got the full armor and a weapon without ever killing the monster. worth looking at if you want to go that route.

[Mandalorian Deathknight]

you can plunder blade the mats but like others said it will take time if the RNG gods hate you.
plunder farcaster swich cat items from plunder to another item then back to plunder.which resets the cool downs repeat till four plunders.

choose the second one on leaving if you are done not the first. rinse and repeat till you get what you need.

[Aelin Galathynius]

If you just run around in phase 1 without fighting and you keep resetting the cooldown via gadget swapping you can get the 4 plunder items in what, maybe 5 minutes?

So if it's a 1% chance and 4 items per hunt then that's 1 eye per 25 hunts.

So just over 2 hours per eye which is 58 hours in total.

Still wondering if that would be faster.

[Dokainin]

you would be better off working out a build and gameplan to break the horns. breaking both guarantees that an eye will be rewarded whether you complete the hunt or not. that would also facilitate actual practice against the monster which would mean greater odds of actually clearing the hunt and getting eyes from carves or end of hunt rewards.

slot on partbreaker and heavy artillery and when the roaming ballista is ready, soften the head and use a binder then unload on the head for a potential 6k+ damage which goes a very long way towards a double head break if you use both ballista opportunities.

once you polish up the process you can probably get a guaranteed eye every 20ish minutes.

[Xilo The Odd]

2 years. average.

but in all seriousness, just keep at the fight and get the double head breaks. there are plenty of hunters that have it down quite well and work in groups to help others get on track.

[𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒶𝒶𝒶𝒶𝒶]

It's extremely rare to get eyes via plunderblade. It's much, much faster to just simply look for people who need the eyes and farm them, 2 SA will completely break the head in about 15 mins or faster if they are SA mains.

wow people go that far to get the items without actualy killing the thing???
may as well just cheat at that point if you're not going to properly fight it anyway

with fatty 2 part set the fight becomes a lil easy to handle

I've got the entire beta set but with the rate that everyone is failing this combined with the fact that the head spends at least 80% of the hunt out of reach of melee weapons and using a range weapon is just asking to get one shot it really doesn't seem like that bad of an idea.

[Maffeketel]

I'd recommend building a ZSD spam build if you want to easily farm the eyes.
You can reliably break his head that way and basically every attempt will yield at least 1 eye.
This is probably the fastest way to farm them.
I'd be happy to give you such a build should you need it.
Keep in mind that it could require some decorations that you might not have.

Other then that you'll have to find ways to reliably hit his head. Flinch shot him when he's on all fours, use the artillery combined with the heavy artillery 2 skill, use the clutch claw attack often and try to hit is head during his sweeping fire breath attacks and during the cone shaped fire breath attack.
Partbreaker 3 is essential of course as it's nearly impossible to break the head twice without it.

You can break the head twice with most melee weapons, but it's never an easy thing to do.
The ZSD spam build would be your best option.

Slight problem with this plan.

Literally watching Arekkz tutorials for Swaxe right now.

Sure give me the build, might come in handy.

Gonna make a set and practice against some other monsters first I think.

Not long if you find a sturdy, dependable team. I have 20 Evil Eyes in my stash, I've made both layered armours and actual armour sets and two of his weapons (R12 Hammer and LBG) and I've got exactly 20 Fatalis kills.

I will point out that I was able to snag an Evil Eye when helping a friend Plunderblade him a bunch of times.

Basically I don't think they're that rare, for me it was always either Fellwings and Cortexes I had to worry about. I've even seen someone get five of them in a single hunt thanks to carving two and getting three in the rewards..

If you're competent with your ability to fight (I consider myself only average, I've never really strived to be "good" at this game, merely "ok") and you find others who are the same, and you find a routine to follow each time revolving around efficient uses of binders, gun emplacements, sleep and paralysis, ghillie mantle alpha strikes etc, you can burn Fatalis down in like 15 minutes on average.

If you don't have that, there's always the 100% chance from a head break, I haven't bothered with the strategy myself but I do hear there's a literal foolproof way of wrecking him with a Switch Axe and spamming facial clutch claw attacks on him.

Hell, if you found a "perfect" team you could probably get a fast double headbreak and then return from the quest, guaranteeing yourself one Evil Eye in the process if you're not up to killing him, but I think if you were doing that you may as well just kill him anyway, right?

A long time, man. It's purely RNG so technically if you were #Blessed you could get like, 2 Eyes per trip and only need to make 15 trips.

In theory though I made about 10 trips in total each lasting no longer than 5 minutes while helping a friend get himself the Fatalis armour (ironically he wanted it so he could make an epic gathering set to mine coal with in the Grinding Lands so he could get lots of stuff from the Steamworks this coming festival, strange lad) and I only saw a single Evil Eye from all of that.

So that's like 1 eye every hour if you're lucky, lol. At least based on my limited experience with it, anyway. It's probably faster if you solely brute force the one ability that steals the item directly as you can't pick up an eye from a dropped shiny I suppose.

I recommend you just find yourself a competent group and go to work on Fatalis as much as you can, get three to four kills every hour, do an hour or two a night and you'll have your stuff right quick!

I bet if you made a post here and posted your session ID asking for help with Fatalis, and you reaffirmed you're not looking for a carry but just want to get some slaughter going, people would join you and help no problem. I would, if I wasn't so unwell right now that handling Fatalis would just cause my brain to explode

Wow I commented on this thread twice within an hour forgetting I had already done so. I am thoroughly retarded, but I'll blame the bug I'm currently afflicted with

[𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒶𝒶𝒶𝒶𝒶]

You don't have to watch a tutorial nor practice SA that much, 5 mins in the training arena will do.

All that you have to know is to draw SA into sword mode then circle > circle > hop > circle or B if using xbox controller to get the bar ready then just latch into the head then circle + triangle (B +Y) and spam triangle to do zsd.

Also I have killed Fatalis before fully breaking the head with SA so if all you want are the eyes, don't use the dragonator .
