The Binding Coil of Bahamut, Act 2: Tail Slap is frontal, guys.

PSA: If you lag even slightly, do not risk getting in that one additional cast/attack when Blighted Bouquet is about to go off. I've died multiple times where I would finish that one last Cure or toss a Regen when its cast was 1/3rd of the way finished and it still ended up killing me anyways.

I wrote a Turn 6 guide for my Free Company if anyone is interested. Video included in the post.

So far it seems the "Super slug" strategy seems to work the best, for at least my group. Drops: Tank feet, healer ear

That's interesting; for two reasons: to have a 500+ cap requirement for Turn 6 when there's still three progressively higher turns, and for the miss rate between 499acc and 479acc is pretty tiny. Also, is there a parse files that show this, just to make sure it wasn't human error?

T1-5 all had the same acc requirement so I do wonder if SE changed it up and increased the accuracy per turn this time around. That said, people that are parsing accuracy need to take into account what side they are hitting the enemies from. At 470 accuracy, friend never missed in t6 hitting from the rear/flank.

Wait what? I recall Turn 4 requiring more accuracy than Turn 1/2, and Turn 5 even more than Turn 4. Or am I remembering wrong?

He got lucky then because i definitely missed many times @471 and occasionally miss at 481ish but those are probably when i cycle around the front to dodge shit.

I don't think you are, but I never worried about my accuracy.

Sorry for the slow response, and also for the incoming horrible formatting; this is 31 minutes and 11 seconds of parsing:

You can see that 1501/1502 hits connected, and that the one which missed was a True Thrust.

Main reason Turn 4/5 were thought to require more accuracy is because you have enemies that you end up attacking from the front. You normally attack from the flank/rear in T1/2 so it's not as noticeable. People didn't even know front/flank/rear accuracy was a thing back when they were pinpointing how much accuracy was needed. So the accuracy needed in each turn is the same, you just had to gear for which side you were likely to hit often.

I'm pretty sure that is incorrect, I was missing from front on Snake in t1, never miss from the back, same gear in t4 on dread i was missing on occasion from behind, ate acc food, stopped missing from behind on dread.

[Deadgye]

One through four definitely had the same exact acc requirement. I'm fairly positive turn 5 was the same as well, if anything it was only barely higher.

Could have had a bard use Rain of Death on the snakes possibly?

[Avarice]

That would depend on if it was before or after the RoD change (although in either case, honestly, the Bard shouldn't be using RoD).

[Obsidian]

Does anyone know if the slugs are susceptible to Heavy from Blizzard II/Stone, Lethargy or Miasma?

[Takiwaki]

Saw BG downed T8 on excal, also whats cool upgrading tome weapons to 110 seems to give it a very cool glow effect

[Seravi Edalborez]

Got DRG hands (High Allagan Gauntlets of Maiming) and BRD feet (High Allagan Boots of Aiming) from T6. From left/right chest respectively I believe, if it matters.

Welp, looks like it's happening again.

If you're implying they cheated well.. you get that unlocked for being in Turn 9. Check the other BG members in Turn 9 and you'll see they have the map unlock as well.

An unknown guild (they're my server; I've even heard of any them) with the same level of progress as BG, at their pace too? Not to mention that prior to 2.2 that hadn't even killed Twintania five times,


Can you really say that's not suspicious?


Their lodestone info has updated, so it won't show it anymore, but there was also a SMN in their FC who was sporting 3 High Allagan pieces, but then also had some CT gear mixed in there too, like Crimson Breeches. If the DPS checks are already tight enough in i90, you're not going to make them in i80.

Wondering, if those upgrade items are 100% drop rate or not O_o
hopefully not, or it makes the zodiac, somewhat useless till 2.25 (where you can choose your own stats, and if it goes to 110)
