In abyssea? cruor prospector lets you dispose of it.

does updating resources.xml still bork yarnball?

We've been using Coeurls a decent amount as well as mandies. They don't give Ruby, and they're less prone to gimpshit exp parties moving in on them. Bats are a no-no if you're using a MNK because they take half damage from Darkness WS. Tahrongi's not so bad if you just clock up 1,000+ minutes and sleep in it to prevent re-doing the shitfest that is rebuilding every light. I haven't left the zone in 3 days and I'm on track to finish Vereth 80 in a couple hours. Getting about 16-18 buds a day with a Thf and Whm friend fulltime, then other linkshell mates on random jobs to leech exp/cruor and hold pop sets. Really once you manage to cap your lights and avoid Ruby on anything (3 days with only 5 total rubies is hot), Tahrongi becomes much much easier to deal with. The only hard part has been finding Non-EX gear to shove onto my friends so I can hold all 50 buds <_<

Derp, feel stupid about the bat question now seeing as the answer was rather obvious. My only problem with mandies is pulling them, I'll be in most of the time just triboxing mnk whm brd, and at times my brother will probably be there on war. Are coeurl easier to pull? As in can I just run around on mnk to aggro them and run back?

[Greatguardian]

Yeah, you can just run around and aggro them. I camped on the East side of the ravine just south of 06, pulling from both sides. Just need to be careful pulling the East side since Minhocao occasionally spawns or wanders over there.

Perfect! thanks so much

Other than just being a completionist, what is the reward to completing every quest in an abyssea zone, in addition, getting all abyssites or atmas in the zone as well?

Thanks.

[Byrthnoth]

Potentially Atma of the Savior.

[Koyangi]

What does the 1st part of the atma mean? On Otherwiki states enhances status effects.

[Davricle]

Whatsa good low-man strategy for Trisitia? Anything I should know about?

[Byrthnoth]

Unclear, if you get it let me know~!

Thanks.

If you get all the atma, all the abyssites, or all quests done in any specific zone then you get 10k cruor. So 30k cruor in rewards per zone.

What does the 1st part of the atma mean? On Otherwiki states enhances status effects.

I'm guessing it means you get more defense from protect, more magic defense from shell, better haste, better bard songs, better barspells, better regen... and so on and so forth...

[Yabby]

Does Griffon claw atma work on ranged WS's?

[Aihree]

Which atmas are you using for monk cataclysmcleaving? I have a great deal of Glavoid in my future, so am looking into this. Sounds like one should be using mab earrings and int rings instead of melee ones, as well.

[Greatguardian]

Ultimate/Cosmos/Smiting Blow personally. And yeah, Moldy/Hecates and 2 MAB+3 Demon's Rings, fulltime Ascetic's, Pluto's Staff, etc.

[TheDirtyHobo]

Best way to calculate Double/Triple attack's effect on your average WS damage? I was thinking of just adding (DA rate * number of hits in WS) to your fTP, assuming you don't hit the 8-hit round cap, but not sure if there's a better way.

Bumping for answer.

[Trix]

Will double and triple attack atmas work on avatar BP's?

[Hank]

What is the best G.katana, (not including Masa/Amano)? Assume I can get a 5 hit with a 450.
