Secrets of Faydwer
I was like, WOW, I want this so I went and started it and then my merc charged me......hummmmmm
How can you keep a multiple of three on you if you have to adjust every 15 min.......another item not really worth the trouble.
Tinmyn's Oil Can

For max stats, you need to have exactly 243 platinum on you. (Or, any multiple of 3 afterwards: 729pp; 2187pp; 6561pp; etc.) |

I sat down to lunch and was haivng a Pita bread sandwich, oh the irony! Brousing thru Alla I come across this Oil Can ... I thought maybe I would find a mathematical way around this PITA...now that coin doesn't weigh anything...Monks rejoice but have to eat their purses...keep a "ton" of copper on your person and whenever your multiple gets out of wack just destroy down to a "good" number (feedback: ok, we need a Gnomish UI calculator now). Then the clock ticked 15 minutes and my Merc. exacted it's fee - is yours a multiple already? Would that be too slick or is it just too nasty! Nice hp's, but the rest lackluster or worse. What would you like with your PITA sammich?
258g, 6s, 6c, for awesome stats
258g, 6s, 6c, gives me 479hp/mana, w/ adventurers stone, and great stats to boot.
that you HAVE to loot coin from corpses, but you dont have to loot items. you should be able to do two things:
1) set it so that you don't HAVE to loot coins, and it appears as a coin on the corpse
2) set it so you can automatically REJECT a split. just because someone hands me 2cp doesnt mean i should be forced to take it.
this item is great. $oE's incompetence and inability to program make it a complete failure.

Haha wow. If even one of you is even half right in your explanation of how this thing works...which I'll probably never know....then the devs are as gramatically challenged as anyone.

Just traded mine to a guildy for a Wendia's Charm. Only lost 135 mana and don't have to worry about looting or autosplit. Very nice charm if you never loot....PITA if you do.
Reminds me of those crappy DoN charms.Its 10pm,charm at 80%.Cleric is to far away charm at 50%.The guy next to you poops green,charm at 30%.I'm sure they are trying to be inventive but give me a break.Looting any coin or getting coin from auto loot could be one big pain in the ***.

Everyone keeps saying multiples of 3, that is NOT the case, just as the charm says on it. It is POWERS of 3.
3x3=9 x's3=27,x'3=81,x's3=243,x's3=729 etc.
for what ever reason it sees 0 plat 2 gold 4 silver 3 copper as 243 also

BTW This is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. Charm only works with the coins u have on u. Hopefully Sony will wise up and nerf that lil bit. Working on my charm at the moment but if your telling me i can never loot a corpse again in fear of messing of my multiples of three I can tell you right now where Sony can shove it. They must have thought they were sooooo clever w/ this one.

Having solo'd this quest a few times, I went to check this out. It seems the Marauders were sped up and the place where I had kited before was no longer safe-the roaming gnomes who patrol the pad used to stay dead til the server or zone reset. They now pop back almost as fast as I could kill them.
I moved my kite place out farther in front of the pad to the large round disc. Pulled a Maurader and proceeded to kite him down using wiz instant nukes. Marauders don't regen once engaged so I was able to kite him down using instants. Took about 20 min because I was out of mana most of the fight and had to rely on mana regen to build enough for each cast.
tip: Save enough mana for 2 casts, just in case you get a Go*RM proc; you can use it instead of watching it fade away.

The adds CAN be mez'd.
They are low hp but hit hard.
the Cog Maruaders AE ramp. have fun!

Not ae ramp, single target.
Yes, it's most definitely single target ramp.
Key word kite. It was so much fun kiting a mob with no snare, for a group while they took care of the adds, have fun :)

Need a good grp to tank fight last mob, they have a ton of hp and pop 2 adds at 50%.
Another way though, is to get someone in grp that can keep aggro run mob around courtyard while the rest of the grp dots/nukes etc.this also makes peeling the adds off alot easier.
We did 6 last night very easily with pally stunning and running mob, 2 necs, shammy and druid. ( 5 in grp )
Necs peeled off adds aswell as maintaining dots on Marauder.
There are sometimes gnome roamers in courtyard, or other grps.We were lucky and had neither, but this could make things a bit harder if you have to dodge them aswell.
Very nice item for such an easy quest, can be done in one night.

Ok, here is the no doubt 100% formula for this charm
Carry money in multiples of 2pp, 4g, 3s for max stats
so you can have 4pp, 8g, 6s; or 243pp of 121pp 5g; or 2430pp, etc..
Also, note 243pp is the same as 242pp 10g (as someone else posted earlier) or 2pp, 3g, 13s is all the same... max stats
Enjoy!

MAX stats are bassed on multipuls of three, says so in the charm. Don't need 2plat 4g 3silver, but that is a good one.
For those of you decent at math you should never have to destroy to much coin=-) for those of you who suck at math, get a different charm.
Multipuls of 3
Any multipul of 3 copper = 6AC, 91 to stats
times 3
Any multipul of 9 copper = 12AC, 182 to stats
times 3
Any multipul of 27 copper = 18AC, 273 to stats
times 3
Any multipul of 81 copper = 24AC, 364 to stats
times 3
Any multipul of 243 copper= MAX STATS
Like said on other posts, the money is based on true value, so it doesnt matter what form you have it in 1 plat = 1000, 1g = 100, and 1s = 10. When you add up all your numbers if they can be devided evenly into the 243 you get MAX stats on your charm.
Monks that dont like money you need 2g 4s 3c for max stats, you can handel 9 coins cant u?

The formula for max stats appears to be:
81plat * (multiple of 3)
This is an easy way to figure out large sums you can carry for max stats.
81plat * (multiple of 3)
This is an easy way to figure out large sums you can carry for max stats.
I don't have the charm but from what I've heard, it's any multiple of 3. In which case the easiest way to check it in your head is to add the digits together to see if that is a multiple of three.
E.g:
2445pp ---> 2+4+4+5 = 15, and 15 IS a multiple of 3 so the charm works
4493pp ---> 4+4+9+3 = 20, but 20 is NOT a multiple of 3 so the charm stops working
Also, the method is recursive. So if you had a huge amount of plat on you, lets say 9897969594pp, then you could repeat the method over until you have a figure that's clearly a multiple of 3 or not.
I.e:
9897969594pp ---> 9+8+9+7+9+6+9+5+9+4 = 75,
75 ---> 7+5 = 12,
12 ---> 1+2 = 3, so 9897969594 is indeed a multiple of 3
E.g:
2445pp ---> 2+4+4+5 = 15, and 15 IS a multiple of 3 so the charm works
4493pp ---> 4+4+9+3 = 20, but 20 is NOT a multiple of 3 so the charm stops working

You have to have 243 (or 729 or 2187 or ...) for max stats. That's 243 *worth* of plat, so 242plat 10 goldwill do. That means 243plat and 1 copper piece will give you zero stats at all - ie like not having it equipped.

For max stats:
243 plat, no other coins.
Or any power of 3 above 243 works aswell. Enjoy.
