Is there any point to Awilda's Gun?

[Massimo]

Question about earth carol II and glavoid. I read someone on an earlier post say it was a 100% proc on dmg null with AF3+2.

It's most likely a glitch that they haven't fixed yet, It's making carol II's proc 100% of the time, and makes Scherzo give a -95% DMG cut, when you're wearing two or more +2 items. Skill seems irrelevant.

on a related note, can you counter disgorge by tanking behind it like minhacao?(sorry, no experience with the fight)

No. Glavoid turns. Stunning it is your best bet.

After capping azure/pearl lights, what is a good mob to farm TE on in La Theine with 5-6 people?

Only times I've farmed TE were on mobs that don't give ruby, and just about everything in La Theine appears to give ruby (if wiki is accurate). Does this even matter much?

If TEs are your only concern, I don't really see where your problem lies. It's very easy to kill mobs between NMs to keep your time up, even if you have to watch your weaponskills a bit. Other than that, cleaving/-gaing frogs is still the quickest way if you're not killing PHs inbetween stuff.

Odd question but can Royal Knight's Aketon be augmented from FoV? Anyone tried it?

Screenshot yourself tossing it, that's about it.

Send 1 BLM to worms and you'll still be left with more than enough for NMs and have unlimited time.

I can't say it's the best, but this is my QD build. Demon's Ring is from Tahrongi gold box, 2mab 2mcrit augment. Spellcasts swaps between Artemis'/Ugg/Navarch depending on which is active/highest dmg at the time. I do Iratham with 4 + a mule and it's pretty easy with that setup, belt drops 100%. Easy to camp while farming gold for Demon's/KI, so neither is particularly hard to get, just time consuming unless you get lucky. Gun takes a while due to the low drop rate on Birth Coins, but for QD only the Magian MAB gun is very competitive and can be completed in a few days. Novio is a bit pricey, but JoL is loleasy now.

Thank you so much for the assist on this one. One follow up question: is it worth carrying around the elemental grips? ie Fire grip, dark grip, etc?


EDIT: Also, while im thinking of it, what are the best atma for QD? I have Baying Moon now, but I dont really have a good second atma. How bout atma for COR ratk? Any general guidelines on COR in aby would be very helpful. I just recently picked it up again and just started working on getting it up to snuff

Not worth the inventory space. Isn't there an AGI or Macc grip out by now?

You should look into Beyond as well. +60 MAB is a very nice boost.

Once again...thanks for the help...they really need to just add a matk grip

Quick question: is there a way to find out which servers are the most active? My wife and our friend decided to pick up FF11 again, but they're under the impression that Ifrit is pretty dead. They're leveling lowbies at the moment, so their opinion is probably not based on a whole hell of a lot of information other than pure speculation, but they'd like to transfer to a server that's more active.

I do Emphs, but if Emphs don't give enhanced lights for amber (Rumor thrown around here, but I usually get capped in ~8-9 kills), Limule are a good target for amber.

Could look at http://www.ffxiah.com/database - not perfect, but a busy AH likely indicates a busy server.

Just a quick one.

I can't find any testimonials on either wiki's regarding the VNM T3 Lusca in Abyssea - Attowah Chasm, can this be lowman able? aka 3-4 people or would I need more. Seeing as my LS only farms +2 items from the NMs and Itzpapalotl is being stingy so Lusca is the other and best source for Cards of Vision. Thanks in advance.

Ele grips aren't worth it at all, just use Reaver for the agi or Rose for stp (QD tp gain is effected by stp the same as any other ranged atk) if you're looking to ws as well.

Baying Moon/Beyond is the best all purpose selection, you can use Khalamari's atma as well if you're interested in shooting for tp, it gives Racc+Ratk. TBH though you shouldn't have racc problems, and you'll get good bang for your buck on elemental ws making Baying/Beyond the ideal combo. I personally use Beyond/Smouldering, just because I get better results from the fire element atk on Smouldering than I do on the MAB.

You could certainly kill it with 3-4 people, but you will be better off going with more and forcing Grellow. Still, 2 mages and 2 melee should be a comfortable fight. BRD, RDM, PLD, DRK and fight it on Light or Darksday.

Great thanks !

Great thanks !

Err.. just so you know, hitting him and curing him when he's in his absorb-physical damage mode doesn't give him TP. You guys will have to nuke him to feed him TP so he changes back. Upside is, you can hold him and test out the spells as much as you want. I recommend your Paladin and Dark Knight start with TP so they can get off to a strong hate-start. Also, remind them that they can nuke too.

I, and my small emp weapon farming group, thank you! off to go kill glavoid 35~ times!!

Is Lamprey Lord a safe duo with SAM + RDM if you don't intend on pinning?

[Deader2818]

What is a good katana combo to use on nin not barring abyssea/woe weapon? Thinking of taking mine back up again but not sure what is good to use for main hand /off hand now

[Skeelo]

If you have fudo you can pretty much 4 shot it if rdm dispels att down quickly. If no fudo can be done but will be rough.
