    WS Body Slot for PUP (and other jobs)

    Been trying to clean up my inventory and find some compromise to save some inventory slot.
    When I got to the body slot I've been a bit confused by the results I got on the spreadsheet.
    Premise: I will eventually get Manibozho R15 in the future, but I'm looking for another thing I can get fast before that.

    Until now for Stringing Pummel (and other WSs like Victory Smite, Shijin Spiral, Resolution etc) I was using Toci's Harness, which I decided to finally retire.

    Now I'm pondering between Thurandaut and Shneddick. Let's leave Otronif out of the way for a sec because it should be the winner but I don't know how easy/fast it will be to get.
    So Thurandaut vs Schneddick.
    Same STR, Shne has better DEX/VIT, Thura has +15 attack.
    What do you suggest to get for Stringing Pummel?
    And thinking about using the same piece for Resolution (RUN), Vsmite (MNK) and Exenterator (DNC) to save inv space, what would you get?
    (I suppose for Shijin Spiral it's no question, Schneddick should win)

    I'm kinda leaning towards Shneddick, because it seems to me attack is losing a bit of relevance compared to the past (easier to cap it thanks to the +skill stuff etc)

    Go with your hunch.

    If you also use Shijin Spiral, I would go with Schneddick. But that's just me, though. For Stringing Pummel, both bodies are close, so it's a tough call. Once you get Manibozho body to Rank 15 (STR path) that will win out, I think.

    Stick to your initial plan. If you have the funds, it'll take you all of 5 minutes to walk up to NPC and make it Rank 15. Rank 15 is not hard to get and would probably take you less time than figuring out another alternative.

    Yeah I know, it's fantastic. R15 Manibozho is kinda the best or close to that for so many WS on so many jobs, an incredible inventory saver.
    But the thing is that atm I'm kinda trying to shrewdly spend my Plasm (and gil!) until I win Body during a megaboss run, or Airlixir price fall even further and so on.

    On the other hand I'm kinda swimming in over 300k Bayld, so Shneddick could be something decent to use for the time being. This was my line of reasoning.
    Does it really make no sense at all?
    It has to be said that I won't be able to buy Shneddick body until next sunday though, but with my current playtimes I'm not really *that* bothered to wait 6 days for it.

    You run with some serious douchebags if you're having to win a body in fracture. That said, just buy the damn thing and upgrade it via auction house. That's literally two days worth the Dynamis, tops.

    It makes perfect sense, but think of it this way; if you spend plasm now on body you will have what you are after right away. Sure it may drop during an NM farming run and you may get it or you may lose a lot on it. In either case, if you get it now, you will refarm your plasm by the time it will drop/win lot. If you can buy it now, do it. That's my reasoning. The price of Airlixirs will take time to level out, so do not base your decision solely on that. It's a solid investment.

    I don't get what you mean.
    It's just random people from random PUGs and NM drops are freelot. How does this make them douchebags?
    And I wish I had time to play 2 hrs of dynamis a day AND do other things.
    Currency is like @3,5k on my server or something like that. Think forgotten items are almost more profitable lol


    @Hirronnimus
    You do make a very valid point, sir
