Now I am looking to buy the -1 and almost half the list of wanted on ffxiah are from asura. This is why one of my pet peeves is people claiming Armadaberk is easy to get because you can buy it now.

For the -1, I asked around. Someone proposed a very good deal at 15M, or just a tip if i brought synthesis (even a 5M tip would have been cheap). I already tried 40 synths a few years ago. Despite the update to crafts, I didn't want to try to gamble again so I just manned up, went to Abyssea on my 3 characters and shat blinkers until I reached 19M.
Some guy was selling for 21, another for 19 and I missed one at 18. Usually the one at 19 is ALWAYS up (the guy had another up the day after I bought it and still has one right now) yet people bitch and don't buy for this price. I can understand that it's 4M above the cheapest but well, you'll make at least 20M by the time another is available at 15M. Time is money etc.

I don't know any crafter on Asura but maybe try asking around? That's all I can advise but really, on the 4 servers I have been on, I always managed to find a Smithing 100 + subs ready to craft it for free/for a "small" tip. Good luck!

As for Abju drop rate... my very first Nidhogg ever dropped 2 E bodies, that's where I got mine. Went 1/1 Sweet tea when they updated HNMs, E body + M body dropped, my mule had E body before I could even uncurse mine.

I have yet to ever see an A body, though.

1/1

I went 0/5 on my own pops, then 1/6 trying to buy off other peoples teas. Even 0/1 on Einherjar so I guess I'm 1/12.

**Eanae** · 2012-08-20 12:15

I don't even want to count, because I'll end up depressing myself since I need a new one.

**Mairja** · 2012-08-20 12:28

Luckily we did what Cairthenn said, we pretty much spammed Odin for that month. Got a bunch of ebody abjurations that way, think we pretty much capped the ls out.

**Botosi** · 2012-08-20 23:48

Grats on your Armada Tam! And also.......

Got 2 today in about 10 hours of [stressful/annoying] work. One for me and for jr.

Looks like bitching about it on BG was the key, as Odin finally dropped E Body for us.

Now to find a -1 hauberk on Quetz for less than 20 mil (wishful thinking).

Why do people bother with fishing torque?

**Botosi** · 2012-08-21 01:27

Higher bite rates would surely help me out when I get my ebisu. I don't have any mules to fish on so higher bite rates = less time fishing = more playing for someone like me.

**Yugl** · 2012-08-21 08:00

Still pointless. If you're using your main for fishing, you'll either 1) Leave your character on overnight or 2) Fish while you're actively at the computer. If (1), then fishing shouldn't cut into your play time. If (2), multiple points:

- Your fishing is limited to Matsya (Odin is flooded and your LS is the biggest culprit), Nebominite, and Hakuryu
- If Matsya
** You gain the most out of your torque through this fish, but in the long run, Matsya require you to sit a mule at Selbina; if you have access to said mule, simply use that character for fishing
- If Nebominite
** The torque hardly matters
- If Hakuryu
** You'll need to spend a ton of time to bank off Hakuryu
** If this is time spent actively playing, you'll probably make more gil doing other activities

**Draylo** · 2012-08-21 10:18

Yeah really, I'm inclined to believe you follow (1) from looking at your screenshot. Don't even bother lol

**Botosi** · 2012-08-21 10:38

I actually only fish when I'm at my computer doing something or right next to my computer playing Xbox/watching TV. The whole reason I'm leveling fishing is for when school starts I have something productive to do in-game while I work on homework/projects.

I still don't understand how spending 5 hours per character is a waste of time if it's going to help my fishing speed up for the rest of the game. It's less time spent, less of a hassle, and cheaper (because it's free) than it would be to make and level a mule/get it access to Nashmau and all other areas/level it's fishing (I had my main's at 20 when I re-started recently from the past).

With my current school schedule I have class 8am-5pm (bazaaring fish time), get home for Dynamis 6pm-8pm, Fishing and homework til it's done -> Sleep. Rinse and repeat. The earlier my character finishes fishing the earlier I get to go to sleep.

If I'm going to do something as time consuming and annoying as leveling fishing I think I could take 10 hours out of my day to make it as good and convenient as it could be.

torque won't effect bite/catch/anything for Hak or Mats, fishing skill is lol.

Use those "5hrs/char" and do shit you can't get done during the school year. You'll quickly find that torque to be nothing but placebo.

Actually this is true for me so often that it messes with my head.

Well, on a topic of an actual GOOD torque, managed to run to QSC with a friend yesterday with his LC mule (Lvl70 with Hand 2 Hand @ 100), spent about 3 hours there, gave him a 5 minute warning I was probably leaving soon and got 2 torques in 2 gold boxes back to back, one for him and another for another friend who came to help. Now he's T1 on Pho's.
