Yaanei duo MNK/WAR or MNK/NIN with a RDM? Counterstance or no?

Yeah just fulltime cs and get him down. I did him as NIN and RDM was fucking close. Make sure MNK has rr gh and the terror screen helps a lot under 25.

Sanguine>cata all the time, so i would assume yes.

could i ask why? what makes sanguine better than cata? (not picking a fight, just curious. i have really good results with cata).

questions of my own. tried the what's better thread, but probably better to be asked here:

putting together a jishnu's build. i'm pretty set with most everything, but have a couple of spots i'm not sure about:

backpieces: with the increase in crit hit damage, does this make cavaros mantle the best now? the options seem to be cavaros (crit hit dmg +3%), terebellum (ratt +20), sylvan (str/agi +6, store tp +5) and vigilance mantle +1 (str/dex +5).

earrings: no clue... every set i looked up on ffxiah had different choices. i'm not dropping bajillions of gil on jupiter's pearls unless those end up being #1 at 99, but some say str, some say dex, others clearview/store tp... elvaan if that makes a difference.

lastly - i know that jishunu's lines up with light belt/gorget, but is it aligned with any other sea gorgets/belts?

thanks!

Anyone know the .dat for small Sandworms?

fINT for Sanguine Blade is (PlayerINT - TargetINT)*2 and doesn't seem to cap, which is different than most elemental WS. The STR 30% / MND 50% WSC is decent as well.

Additionally, Innin boosts the damage by ~30% for NIN mains.

Has anyone had trouble getting the new Tux for the 9th anniversary? I've talked to the moogles a lot, but they never want to give me one Q_Q

[Ksandra]

Was gonna ask this in the dyna thread but it's too basic and I didn't want to shit up the math going on in there, so hopefully someone will read this and know the answer.

We're about to go do jeuno with a group, one in our party needs the clear.

How do we go about popping the boss now? Is it still the same difficulty? I know they buffed a bunch of the bosses in dyna, but not sure if that includes the zone bosses.

[edit] disregard question, we figured it out and zone boss was cake with 4 people lol

there are two moogles. One gives the ring/statistics, the other gives the gear. For the one in bastok (where I got mine). Both are near the fountain. The one next to a red treasure chest (on the AH side of the fountain) is the one that gives the outfit (if you click on the chest you can get the dinner jacket set if you didn't have one already).

How long do temporary items last in my inventory? I looked on wiki, and it said they disappear when I zone, but that isn't the case with the Terror Screen obviously.

[Radec]

Abyssea temps stick around forever, wiki means temps from caskets.

Abyssea temps stick around forever, wiki means temps from caskets.

I was hoping that, but I didn't want to get it and log off and it be gone or anything. Thank you.

Went with 7 last night, just make sure you have a blm or rng for when he is flying and a solid DD on the ground.

They are resized server side, so there is no 'small' dat. I tried changing them and the game would glitch every 4 or so Large sandworms. Wouldn't recommend changing them.

Looking for a good COR XML for a friend of mine. I've PMed a few people about COR stuff before, but either only got QD sets or no response. Thanks.

[Chun Liroy]

Are JP and US reg. codes interchangeable? I.e. can I use my US installed version with a purchased Jp version of collection 3?

Edit: and when does adventurer appreciation end?

My mule's Mog Sack is only 60, but his inventory and satchel are 80. Why?

His Locker is inactivated and his normal moghouse safe is 50.

Talk to artisan moogle.

Apologies for the likely stupid question, but does anyone have a simple/quick way of getting enough Grauberg fame to do the quests for Atma of the Ducal Guard? Thanks in advance for any tips/tricks (and thanks even if there are none).
