There's a pair of dusk gloves +1 in a bazaar in juenomart on quetz right now. Should I go for it at this point?

Depends a lot on the job you want it for, how good a deal they're offering, and how close to haste cap you are without them (and is your job likely to offer haste on the AF3 hands, etc)

Anyone know the .dat number for the log-in music? I have POL music turned off, but as I'm logging onto my character, I get blasted with the shit and I can't remember which .dat I removed last time to get rid of it.

How much STP needed for a 437 GKT in tp so that you can ws in rajas/brutal only.

Is there a way to make AltanaViewer read the new files? Mine can only read files up to september.

100-15.6/5=16.9

That requires an additional 12 stp (18 total) for tp.
If you have VV, you can drop to 96-15.6/5=16.1, which would only require an additional 5 stp.

Add them to the lists.

But omg what do you do until you get that +10% gk? Are you going to get the third best gk to use until you finish it? And what will you use while working on that!? Are you going to get the fourth best to use until you finish the third best gk to use while working on the second best, so you can use while working towards a fudo gk?

Waste of time, etc.

Because the fudo GKT will be finished so quickly, amirite?

I guess I'm assuming too much when I assume that the guy who doesn't have a WoE group would benefit more from six-ish hours of soloing or low-manning non-boss mobs in WoE than finishing a WS DMG+10% trial.

Is there a pin spot in mis where i could do manohra? or other NMs too perhaps?

Here's the deal:

I use a card to pay for the game that is automaticly deduced from my account every month. A while back I got a new card from the bank. My old one wasn't about to expire or anything they were just sending out new ones. I had it laying around but didn't activate the card till yesterday. Then I remembered I need to update my payment method cause the card has a different number and they do the registration server maintenance like the last day of the month. Problem is I forgot there was only 30 days in November. I tried to hurry and change my info but they started maintenance as I was trying to do it. ><

My question is for anyone who knows about credit/debit cards. When you activate a new card does your old one stay active for a while? Or does it switch to the new one right away? Sorry for the long post.

is 12m a good deal for a mars ring? with all the updates coming out, i cant imagine its going to stay at high prices anymore.

[Andradi]

Gonna go on a whim and say retardedly overpriced.

What earring should I wear with my Brutal Earring on SAM? I don't have a Bushi because I have Suppa. I pretty much only do Abyssea exp parties with SAM, if it matters. Thought about just subbing DRG and buying a Wyvern Earring.

fowling for a nice, cheap AH-buyable option. If not, the attack+7 ear, whichs name escapes me at the moment.

Aesir Ear Pendant; Kemas Earring is an upgrade to Fowling, if you don't mind paying a little more.

[Krazy]

Alrighty, thanks.

So been on fake-break for a couple weeks, gonna be back fridayish. Decided on leveling SCH and MNK to go with SMN and COR. But I need a lot of subs leveled. <_<

See: My Gimp Ass. Basically I intend to solo those. But I don't actually want to solo any of those. I kinda wanna just bot them in the background while I read a book or write or something.

So my question is, bots that will allow me to do this?

Is there some sort of hidden effect on Sipar or is it just a trash drop?

So wtf do I sub on DNC now? Nothing really seems to offer a big damage boost in a buffed Abyssea mob-slaughtering situation. Also, Steps and Flourishes seem worthless in Abyssea.

/WAR - Berserk and Aggressor (10% DA doesn't seem to stack with Saber Dance, Berserk only improves the average damage of my non-crits, 26% of my swings, 60% of the time)
/MNK - Counterstance/Focus/Dodge/Boost/Chakra (I evade so much on Dancer that Counterstance would almost be a waste.)
/NIN - Utsusemi
/SAM - Sekka/Meditate/15 STP
/DRG - 5% Haste (Hard to justify, because the 2 second ability delay for jumps is longer than my attack rounds and DNC already has Acc bonuses.)

Also, it's hard for me to justify using Steps or Reverse Flourish when buffed in Abyssea. 75 TP Reverse Flourish costs me at least 8 seconds and 20 TP. That's 6.3 lost attack rounds, or about 16 hits with Saber Dance up. So that's 16 hits worth of damage and more TP vs. lowering Defense on two mobs by 7%/5% and being able to Self-Skillchain once (~+1000 damage from Pyrrhic Kleos when I go PK -> Evisc -> Darkness and one-shot a mob).

So should I basically be using Saber Dance, Evisceration, and Berserk only?

Ive always heard it was junk
