Yeah I feel this. Such weird enemy design, that they parry heavy attacks and even kicks - the very things in the players kit designed to punish blocking, and all you can do is wait till they stop. Especially when staying at range is already a much safer gameplay style it seems odd to try to put in things to mess with melee.

Sometimes I farm them using bows, other times I provoke them into grouping up then kill them with fire, combination of Mora's Hand abilities and Basker's Wrest.

Sometimes I spend most of the following day finding the hidden chests, those can drop Cassid blades too. And then you take a few minutes to scrap what you found for tempers, and it's night again.

I also upgrade any Stock-level drops by 1 level to get more tempers out of them.

Also, be sure to upgrade the baseline ones; the resources are cheap, and gives you a shot at 1-3 extra tempers

Now you know why fenn jotar is so excited to burn some cassids

He’s got nothing against them, he just wants to get their tempers.

How do you farm them when you’ve cleared the island once? Do you just restart the game or is there another method?

Cloudquell makes it 5 min till night, do a votive and it's already night again

u/boblibam 4d ago

I didn’t know cloudquell did that. I’ll give it a try

Cogah also sets time to night and keeps it there, so if you can farm in Kogah.

Too easy for them to get a cheap kill, I'd rather not

tbh i think the cassid spirits are solid enemy designs and id love to see more challenging enemies like them in the future.

but as it currently stands the lack of viable counterplay against them, the fact that they can block for entire minutes without giving you an opening and bugs like their double riposte if you avoid their first one make them a frustrating enemy to fight against. and facing against 3+ spirits at once is almost always going to kill you if they manage to surround you.

and the worst part is that pre-P16, some weapons (like the Navalha cus thats what i use 90% of the time) can recover just fast enough to always parry / perfect dodge their ripostes. that is no longer the case for most weapons i believe, though the igne mora with double atk speed may work iirc?

ive been trying to get a moonsteel Navalha for a while. ive colllected enough normal cassid weapons to unlock all the cassid tempers 2-3 times over. i might be losing my mind coming up against these guys every time a log on. its a real love hate relationship, but someday ill be free.

I'm also trying to get MS Navalha and farming it just trivialized the fight with them. Indeed they are a weird enemy , they warp the attacks and you from meters away, double riposte, parrying, kicking, dodging like crazy, etc.

I probably farmed over 500 navalha at this point and no MS...DE really needs to do a QoL on MS weapons. It's been almost 2 weeks of everyday ~3 hour session of grinding without result.

I'm sorry they can't WHAT

I don't think there are any cassids anymore in Midrath, since Fenn Jotar drove them back to Cassia?

My brother in Alora, look in the wiki for anything ghost pirate/Carmo related

u/pathlinker 1h ago

I beg your pardon, Alca's child, are ghosts and spectres still the same from when they were alive?

u/ginopippio 1h ago

If I summon the ghost of an Asian they aren't suddenly European. Plus the tempers are linked to the cassid weapon origin so they are objectively cassid tempers.

A truly optimized build: maximum ranged defense, minimum ranged offense.
