Easiest and quickest way to farm blm, whm, brd, mnk, nin body seals(+1)?
Easiest and quickest way to farm blm, whm, brd, mnk, nin body coins(+2)?

seals: chione (t2 avnm in uleguerand) drops blm, bring magic reduction and it's easy to handle

gamayun (t2 avnm in grauberg) drops brd and mnk, and imo is slightly more annoying to deal with (sup aerial blast), but as long as you're evasion tanking it and your hp bar is +80%, you shouldn't have a problem with it whatsoever

edit: ps: whoever pops the avnm, have them zone/log before it dies so the abyssite doesn't change <call4>


gems (+2): hedjedjet (scorpion in altepa) drops jewel (blm) and card (whm/mnk), uses hell scissors in-place of death scissors before 50%, stun the -gas the entire time (which by-extension stops his following -scissor move) and it's an absolute joke to tank with shadows (ninja, mnk/nin, etc)

empousa (gargoyle in uleguerand) drops stone (brd/nin) and card (whm/mnk), hits soft on the ground, spams tp moves in the air and also possesses a 50(?)/tick bio while flying, but, like chione, as long as you have a magic reduction set handy for when he's airborne, it's a pretty big joke to tank

for the +2's, if you trigger yellow on either, it increases the drop rate from the usual 1/per to 2/per


as for the striked-out jobs: idk bro

So I am trying to update my CC. After the 3-D completes and at the final step I get this twice:

Then this once:

Anyone have any experience with this? Does that mean a congested server and I need to keep trying over and over? .. or that my mastercard isn´t liked?

When I got that it was because they require your CC info to be inputted absolutely correctly, and by correct I mean capitals in the right place correct based on how your bank has your information listed. You might have to call the bank and confirm the CC info you are inputting perfectly matches what they have on file, yes SE is anal like that.

edit: Is a neck w/ acc+5 subtle blow+3 and crit hit rate+2% good for anything?

I'd kill for that neck for TP, better than using Ravager Gorget on War imo (assuming you don't need Stp on the neck for some reason but that's a bigger loss than switching to white tath; aside from Mnk and maybe Nin I can't think of any jobs that can get better in the neck offhand if acc is capped, maybe Nin).

Hmm.... might then be my Province I live in... it has a - and a ü in it, which I cant enter in US POL... ugh that would suck

[Neisan]

Well there is some leeway for symbols I think, but for me my info was wrong because my bank changed my address in their files without notifying me and I couldn't figure out wtf was wrong for over 3 months...

I'd assume faint light = 1 light.

How many lights is a feeble light?

Anyone know exactly how far Turul can roam? Sometimes I have so much trouble finding him -.-;

[Kyte]

AFAIK, no nyzul or 290/300 WSes are blue procs. They are all available without Nyzul @ 75.

That's what I thought as well, but usually wiki isn't blatantly wrong so I wanted a second opinion. Thanks, glad to know the pattern isn't broken.

I got Scars and Heroes a couple weeks ago and only just tried to do Bastion battles today. I tried talking to the Bastion Prefect in both Vunkerl and Attohwa but neither of them give me the option to receive Pennant status. I can only do Resistance Ops. :S What am I doing wrong?

[Rehn]

'Receive pennant' option will pop when a bastion battle has taken place. Select "current situation" to see the % of probable battle from the 3 incoming waves. 100% means the 'receive pennant' will pop at any moment and you'll just have to refresh it until it shows.

1. Resistance Ops person is different from the person who gives pennant.
2. You can only receive pennant status when a battle is about to occur (Turn off campaign filters to see when).

Ah, thank you!

I recall seeing him as far west/southwest as the funguars to as far east as the bugards.

What influences Hedjedjet? I ran all over the place last night and I couldnt find him nor a death spot.

[Rehn]

Did you check the dominion influence for the scorps? Saw that there were OPs for the akrabs, so might be that.

[Skie]

so joined the shin bandwagon the other day and wondering whats the best way to get come crour. Most of my pts dont hit the 100 mark untill till 2-3 hours in.

[Rehn]

Detector mobs in misareaux were giving me ~400/kill after 2 hours of popping silver/ebon chest repeatedly when I did my relic trials.

Lowman strat for Fuath or Graub boss?

Requires Shaula at 100%, which in turn requires Vadleany at 100%. I'd imagine the ladybugs and scorpions have to be at 100% for some combination of the aforementioned NM ???'s to pop.

Graub boss is a joke. Find DDs that know wtf they're doing (i.e. not swinging when it's in magic dmg mode) and bring 1-2 WHMs to cure them through it (1WHM should be enough, but in case they're morons...). Bring 1-2 RDM for nuke mode.
