    Elemental Obi?

    Just out of interest... Has anybody tested any of the Elemenal Obis? I recently acquired the Rairin Obi and noticed it doesn't bump my max damage, just really increases consistency with the weather/day bonus. Anybody else have experience with the Elemental Obis yet? Any opinions?

    Assuming you have some form of +int in your waist slot, it does not affect your max damage. All it does is make all weather and day bonuses 100%. Thus, you will get 10% for every weather icon and day with the correct elemental spell. I don't know what the normal rate of the weather/day bonus kick in, but I estimate it to be 10-25% activation rate...so you are effectively raising your damage a shitton on the right day/weather (double thunder lightning day in boyahada=dead blm.

    BLMs in my LS says they can notice the difference (On spell thunder obviously). Full thunder potency merit upgrades, lightning day, and double lightning weather with Rairin obi and you're one sexy BLM~

    Yeah it makes the bonus 100%. But you're losing 5 INT without the Penitents, so technically if you get lucky with a Penitent's and get the full bonus you can get higher damage then with the obi.

    There's a difference between sexy and dead?

    What I'd like to know is if the elemental obi's help with magic accuracy. Would Korin Obi (Light) help with sticking a Brd's lullaby more? Or Furin Obi (Wind) with a Rdm's Gravity/Silence?

    Moggy tried experimenting with the light obi for his songs. On lightsday he said it didn't make any difference.

    Moggy also doesn't use elemental staves, buys stuff like Melody Earrings +1 before Erase and subs DRG to fight Vrtra.
