4.34.2 Airship Exploitation: Auction House: Golem and Zona Seeker
**********************************

In Jidoor, the Auction House is finally open. It's not so much the bidding
here that's annoying. You'll be asked two times if you want to over the current
prize; if you say no, you don't get the item, if you say yes two times, you get
the item. It's just that there are two items right now you want: two pieces of
Magicite. Golem and Zona Seeker are waiting for your capable hands. Here's how
the Auction House works.

There's a 50 % chance the item up for bidding is "a gorgeous pair of" Angel
Wings, a Relic that gives you the automatic ability to Float. If it's not, we
continue.
Then, there's a 50 % chance it's a walking, talking Chocobo. You can never buy
this 'item' no matter how much you pay, as the father will always buy it. But
if this item isn't the Chocobo, we continue.
Then, there's a 50 % chance it's the Golem Magicite! Nice. Try to buy it. If
you already bought it earlier, or the item isn't Golem, we continue.
Then, there's a 50 % chance it's the Zona Seeker Magicite. Good. If you already
bought this item, or if it still isn't this item, we continue.
If it's none of the above, it's an Angel Ring. Period.

So in the end, if you haven't bought any of the pieces of Magicite yet, the odds
will be as following:

Angel Wings 50 %
Chocobo 25 %
The Magicite Golem 12.5 %
The Magicite Zona Seeker 6.25 %
Angel Ring 6.25 %

If you bought Golem:

Angel Wings 50 %
Chocobo 25 %
The Magicite Zona Seeker 12.5 %
Angel Ring 12.5 %

If you bought Zona Seeker:

Angel Wings 50 %
Chocobo 25 %
The Magicite Golem 12.5 %
Angel Ring 12.5 %

If you bought both:

Angel Wings 50 %
Chocobo 25 %
Angel Ring 25 %

Don't worry; if another person buys a piece of Magicite, it will have a chance
of appearing next time you pay the Auction House a visit. Prices are as
follows:

Angel Wings 10000 Gil
The Magicite Golem 20000 Gil
The Magicite Zona Seeker 10000 Gil
Angel Ring 20000 Gil

If you don't have enough money, fly the Blackjack to an area where Fossil Dragon
monsters appear; they give great amounts of money and you should be able to
handle them pretty easily by now.

I've had trouble with Zoneseek and Golem before too. I always get them in the WoB and the damn auction itself is whats annoying. Having to pay attension and select no after you know its not you esper is what sucks. Anyways if it ain't exit the house come back in and try again. It will come up sooner or later.

If you think thats bad you should uncurse the Cursed Sheild

[Flying Mullet]

I've always picked up the Cursed Shield relatively early in the WoR and equippped it and a Ribbon on someone and continue about my business. The game's not that hard and I find I've uncursed it before I've finished all of the side-quests.

[littlewolf]

well i am as a matter of fact working on the cursed sheild now which i dont mind because it keeps me from getting in something i shouldn't
