i did two hours in SSG last night w/ ebisu/shrimp lure, 100 skill and never got that message on any fish once i'd depleted the stamina.

(also, kudos for using the random question thread, no fault there, but if you look at the top of the advanced forum, there's a subforum for crafting, and within that, a fishing thread with some very helpful ppl if you can't get this sorted.)

I'm using Halcyon/Shrimp Lure and I'm level 23. Standing under the bridge seemed to be the problem, I didn't know about that RMT patch. And sorry, I'm new to the forum, didn't know about the Crafting section but thanks!

Looking for suggestions for head, legs, feet, ears mostly.

Don't know yet if im going to farm spells as I level up, or just spam a couple of DomOps and worry about spells/skills later.

I have a decent core TP set for my SAM, but would Like some input on the Neck piece and Ring2 piece.

http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/157143

kikugosaku/sword strap/ thew
unkai2/ / Kemas/ brutal
twilight/dusk+1/Rajas/ /
atheling/bullwhip/unkai2/ace's

I don't have a masamune right now, however I'm most likely going to complete one eventually. Now I'm focusing on finishing Orthrus' for Ukonvasara, so my SAM is more of a casual job.

for the neck, Unkai comes to mind, but I shouldn't need the STP or the accy. what else could I use? I don't have a justice torque

as for the ring, again accy shouldn't be an issue, also STP shouldn't be necessary since Im rocking basically a 464 delay GKT with 32 STP in equipment. just do a DEX ring? or sniper's?

**Gabai** · 2011-03-01 10:59

464 with sword strap and 32 stp is not a 5 hit, unless I'm missing something.

The GKT he has listed is 480 delay. With strap it's 464. 29 STP with a 464 is a 5-hit, but you have to keep it all on WS. Think 34+ allows you to WS in 0 STP.

**Gabai** · 2011-03-01 11:06

I was missing something after all, thanks for the clarification. I haven't kept up with sam ever since they raped it.

Agasaya's Collar comes to mind from the t2 Attohwa VNM. Slightly more acc, a little less atk than Justice Torque, but a nice bonus of subtle blow. Just make sure to bring a blue proc'er for it. I'm 0/13 with just TH, 0/2 with blue...

Will there even be a march update? Considering they usually start with teasers 4 weeks before a "major" update goes live, I haven't seen a single teaser yet.

We haven't seen traditional teasers but I'd say their Twitter posts are the supplements, if not outright replacements, for the notes where we would say "why'd they bother making a post with this, we want the Job update notes."

Can Nahn be fished up with 0 fishing skill reasonably?

yes, he's a monster, so will be a good feeling with !!! and should be relatively easy to pull in, compared to the fish. if you use a minnow, your !!! bites will be giant catfish (relatively easy to pull in) and crocodilos, which, if they even bite, will be impossible for you to catch. release all ! bites.

you would be better (sadly) to /dnc or /rdm and be a gimp ass healing in abyssea (or box bitch!) to 75-90 and then worry about spells/gear. the ppc should last you but if your worried about buyers remorse i'd say stop buying gear till your at 90 sense almost all of it will be a waste anyway.

Its been a long time since I've done nyzul, but I'd like to get f100 just for completions sake. With that I ask are the Lamps #s in order of their ID ? or is there a special way to easily determine the order

I THINK apradar v2 shows it actually, may be wrong though, I don't remember what my old group used.

Did they "fix" being able to pop a t2 with a t3? I followed a softly in altep but it popped an ifrit. D:

You can pop/track t2s when in possession of both t2 and t3. Sure you didn't just see solidly or land on top of the t3 by accident? Sometimes I mix up solidly and softly when I'm not paying attention.

**Not Kuno** · 2011-03-01 14:12

Nope was definitely soft, even took a SS because I didn't believe it. D:

Spoiler: show

Edit: The t2 ended up being like 150 NE away

**Yugl** · 2011-03-01 14:15

Maybe he just spawned?!

**Not Kuno** · 2011-03-01 14:17

No someone that had the t2 told me it was up (but I went to pop since I had t3 and didn't want to upgrade).
