Talk:Tidal Wave Cylinder

So these new cylinders are basically beefed up versions of the elemental cylinders we can assume?--Bryanneo 13:07, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I think these are basically "elemental" versions of the tower cylinder. Like how normal cylinders we have the Water Cylinder now we'll have a Water Cylinder version for the Tower Cylinder. --Miyuna 13:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

You're definitely wrong. They're arm-mounted. Hell, even looking at the weapon's inventory icon should have tipped you off to that. Fishman 14:57, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

He's right, they are arm mounted and used like normal cylinders. They are more powerfull in their respective element but more harmfull to the others. As of the July 24 2010 patch it appears that if you are not using the Alchemist Job that they do not work correctly. Tellos 18:12, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

My bad then, I was just under the impression these new cylinders were ways to have elemental advantages to a tower cylinder. --Miyuna 02:21, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Eh, sorry a little late back to reply but you might have thought they are elemental tower cylinders because the size of the cylinder in the pictures are huge (look at the tower cylinder and the earthquake cylinder, their both big). Tellos would you happen to know how much better these cylinders are? --Bryanneo 19:22, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't have exact numbers, and I can no longer buy them at Nerys on the test server but the difference is significant and they are worth hunting down if you have higher ranked alchemy skills. When equiped they are equiped like any other cylinder, although they are about width of a G12 giant's arm. Since I can no longer find them, I can't really get any more details on them than that. From my understanding they have the effects of the current elemental cylinders magnified so their element gets a large boost, while opposing elements take a large detriment.

*Wants the tidalwave cylinder now* ~kotarou3 ^TALK_CONTRIBS 20:07, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Can anyone who used an Artisan Upgrade on one add it to this page and this page? (Yes, I really want to know...)

well i just got the tidal wave cylinder through the event with the Korean and Japanese npc give you gifts, what i can say is that it does a fairly noticeable increase in dmg with water based alchemy and i cant complain too much about the decrease in dmg with wind, clay, and fire alchemy for you to care, i dont know anyone who has gotten this cylinder through the grim reapers drop like the page says so this event so far is the best chance you have of getting one of these cylinders.
