two quick questions regarding abyssea key item farming solo/duo (nin or nin and rdm)

do ephemeral mobs give enhanced lights in visions zones like they do in scars?

what would be the best mob to solo/duo for key item farm ( low hp squishy etc ) in abyssea konschtat

thank you very much in advance

yes

THF merits? Got maxed triple attack and feint. Was thinking of putting ass charge on a 10 min timer and 2 in aura steal. Nothing on group 1 jumping out at me.

What would be the best TP earring combo for THF for people without a Suppa? Brutal/??? ?

get suppa.

**Khajit** · 2010-11-29 16:59

Get suppa and lose raider's boomerang for a queermizango if you start running into the 80% delay cap wall imo

T1: I did 3 TA/2 SA just for balance (some prefer 5 of one or the other), though was tempted to do 5 Flee. Options are pretty open, just depends on what suits your thf.

T2: Went with 2 Aura Steal for a half-decent absorb chance, and the rest in Ambush. Useless for solo or tanking, but possibly useful elsewhere (though debatable now with the high chance of capped accuracy). Assassin's Charge just seemed like too much of a joke to waste merits on; might be slightly more useful for those with relic dagger, though, as the bonus on Mercy Stroke would be more substantial than the bonus for DE/Evis, but even then the increase in total damage is miniscule.

There's only a small handful of things you may want to chage in the rules section. It is mostly independant of any gear in use. Exceptions:

Weapon in ranged slot for pulling. I use Mamoolbane.
Club and staff used for proc'ing blunt !!. I use Warp Cudgel, Kirin's Pole and Light Staff.
Weapon for triggering guard skillup gear set. Legacy. Can get rid of it entirely or just ignore it.

(and actually, I might as well pull those out and use variables instead)

Switching to physical damage down gear set is currently commented out (I only use a magic damage gear set at this time). May want to put that back in.

Other than that, everything is dependant on the values in the Variables section and the sets in the Sets section. The rules are completely abstract.

You just need to do a few things:

Set variables that explicitly name gear to appropriate values. (a few further tweaks may be needed for Salvage)

Define your baseline gear set (Standard and Footwork, mainly), and figure out what changes need to be made to it as accuracy needs increase.

Do the same for weaponskills.

What else?.... Ah, should probably explain layers.

There is very little set inheritance in this xml. Each aspect of the gear sets is constructed as a layer. The end result is similar to constructed inherited gear sets (eg: {name=Engaged baseset="idle"} would become {equip set="idle|engaged"} ), but with far more flexibility.

EG: Each accuracy layer is added on top of the base layer. The base layer is, for example, "Standard". If you were at accuracy tier 3, the equip rule would be {equip set="Standard|Accuracy3Std"}. The more traditional approach would be to create the Accuracy3Std set as {set name="Accuracy3Std" baseset="Standard"}, however that becomes ridiculously complicated once you start adding more layers (evasion, -damage, etc).

So, each level of layering overrides the layers below it. If you turn on the evasion layer, it's considered more important than the accuracy layer, but less important than the damage taken layer. The layers in increasing importance are:

$BaseLayer|$AccuracyLayer|$HPLayer|$EvasionLayer|$ CounterLayer|$DamageLayer|$KiteLayer

So keep those in mind as you construct gear sets for each.

If you turn a flag off (eg: turn off evasion), it inserts an empty gear set (set name="None", which contains no gear at all) in that position, and thus has no effect on the overall gear equipped. Several set types differentiate between normal and Footwork mode in order to preserve the proper feet equip.

If that's not sufficient to explain, PM me for more detailed questions.

As a disclaimer I'm not really trying to flame you, but Ambush was never useful considering any half decent THF would be tanking fairly often (assuming meriting on birds, knowing how to gear their THF, ect). Same goes for Aura Steal, any more than 1 merit into it for a quick dispel unless you are extremely into soloing and wanna nab Haste or w/e was and is pretty much a waste. Lastly, saying Assassin's Charge is only worthwhile to Mandau users is discounting Shark Bite and Mandalic Stab by your logic, which I'm sure you can find the merit in seeing Mandalic pre-abyssea. Miniscule increases are more important than situational at best increases I'd say.

I was wondering if anyone had a low man strategy for killing Fistule?

are the adds kited? I thought they had + movement, or does the terrain mess with them?

**Nightfyre** · 2010-11-29 18:37

They don't have any significant +movement in my experience. If the kiter dies, just move Fistule away from where he spawned them and they won't link.

thanks for the insight on Fistule Nightfyre, I'll have to try it

Valid points. I actually had a different config for merits (hadn't merited Ambush) up until recently, but found it mostly useless, so rearranged things with spare merits to the above config.

My reasoning was that even if I'm only getting the benefit of Ambush 10% of the time (being behind the mob and having accuracy matter), 90 seconds of +9 (or +12) acc seemed more useful than 3-4 merits of AC (the remaining 1-2 in Aura Steal). The reasoning is somewhat situational, though, and relates to how I use my thf; for example, I almost always expect to be at least duo with my thf, TA'ing my partner, and thus having a greater than average chance of staying behind the mob the rest of the time (doesn't always work); I didn't really use thf for meriting, and nowadays partying specifically for merits is rather unneeded, so left that out of consideration. If you *do* in fact solo or tank a lot, then yeah, Ambush has almost no use whatsoever, and Assassin's Charge becomes the default for lack of anything better.

SB and MStab had slipped my mind until after I made the post, and I wasn't inclined to go back and edit it.

Honestly, it's hard to take a number of merit categories seriously when you'll be lucky to get even a 1% improvement out of them with 5/5 merits, especially when set beside things like Berserk or DA or Overwhelm merits.

Don't understand it in the slightest. Just forget about it. Thanks though.
