I just zone in buy all 3 hands legs feet from all sets .

Chocobo Blinkers, 2.595 gil/cruor ratio. Idk what the ratio is on the hands legs and feet but I don't think its better than this, plus you can do much more in one trip if you clear your inventory

Double checking before I cause my unwanted pain: for the WOTG earring reward, attack and TP bonus combo is the "choice" for Masa/Fudo Samurai, right? By how much does it beat a str+3 earring, both inside and outside abyssea?

[Mohit]

Ok thanks guys for the emote torque info. +20 spaces woot! lol

Inside abyssea its win, outside who cares. Outside of abbysea, what is this phrase you use, I do not understand

What's the fastest way to blood warp in Eastern Altepa Desert? These anticans arfe taking forever

[Dooom]

I care, otherwise I wouldn't be asking There's a heap of updates coming, and all signs to them taking us out of Abyssea for new content, so it's even more a relevant question than it was two months ago.

I am not a sam, much less a fudo sam, therefore I cannot accurately answer your question. Yet, the answer seems obvious, or does it?

Edit - Because if you aren't Warrior, Monk, or Ninja, you are doing it wrong and you wasted time on your empy :D

Find a Cactuar and hope for 1k needles?

Because it's impossible to have more than one Empy, and Masa takes such a long time to get to 85? C'mon :/

[Eldelphia]

What are the best waistpieces for whm healing?
Still using p rope on my mule.

Cleric's Belt / Pythia Sash (+1)/ Cognizant Belt (for V/VI)

[Crosly]

How's equipment prices these days too? Such as HQ staves? Because I loved BLM.

Oh and what's SJ's these days? Still mostly /NIN for burn PTs like MNK for example?

OH! and also lol, do I need all 3 Abyssea addons to exp? or just Visions?

[Fereydoon]

Equipment prices tanked, at least last time I checked on Shiva HQ staves were about 100k, but their outclassed by the Magic Affinity +5 damage staves from Trial of the Magians.

You mentioned BLM and MNK, so subs for those. BLM: RDM for utility, WHM for healbitch, BRD for Procs, SCH for I don't even know but it'd help to have. MNK mostly rides /WAR, /DNC and /NIN have their uses, of course.

As for addons, no you don't but Heroes is where most of the parties are at, with Dominion. But if I had to recommend only one it'd be Scars, You get 3 af3 slots, and a couple of the best atma in the game. Namely Razed Ruins and Minikin Monstrosity. It also allows you to buy a second Lunar Abyssite, which you'd be without with one of the other two.

[Fereydoon]

Yeah, accidental double post powers activiate!

If that's the case are there any 1 handed emp combos that subbing one of those would be best?

I don't think so. Martial/Fusetto +2 for Aeolian Edge would be about the only situation I can think of where it's useful.

Is this only true with the Magian TP bonus weapons or with the other TP Bonus weapons like Martial Sword, etc? If the latter, it seems like the martial weapons just got a whole lot more useful.

Also, do the weapons have to be of the same type (sword+sword, etc.)?

Martial weapons have never worked offhanded, and I doubt they do now. I don't know if it has to be the same type, but the testing was done with two axes.

My first thought when I saw this was, "Oh awesome, SAM can use the TP Bonus+100 bow with Masa!" ...but lolMagian job requirements. Ranged attack jobs can't wear any 1H weapons and melee jobs can't wear any ranged weapons. Hi is the only WS worth using a lot. It would be an interesting idea with Rudra's storm (~30% damage increase), if Rudra's was worth spamming. It isn't, so it isn't.

[Atoreis]

So thf Aeolian martial knife + Magian +100TP bonus and drop smiting blow?

Isn't that make TP bonus Fusetto great dagger for offhand with Twashtar?

[Alkimi]

anyone know a good place to download FFXI soundtracks for free?

Except for the fact that:

Martial weapons have never worked offhanded, and I doubt they do now.

Also, you would only need one either the martial knife or the TPBonus Fusetto and Smiting blow to get to 300tp. There's no such thing as a 400tp ws. <_<

TP Bonus offhand Fusetto would give a ~30% increase in WS damage with Rudra's but won't affect aftermath. That would be awesome, but... Rudra's is not worth using unstacked. If it did affect aftermath, THFs could use it to keep AM2 up full time probably (longer duration and more potency) while SA/TA-Rudra's-ing and using Evisceration. As it is, the STP Fusetto probably outdamages it.

Smiting Blow is already not the best Atma for Aeolian Edge. Howling Moon (~+15-16% damage)/Gales/Ultimate comes out better than Smiting Blow (~+14% damage) with Martial Knife even with Ascetic's Tonic, at least with my build. Still, that's another 14% damage from your offhand if you use a 100TP Bonus weapon.


Edit: Re, the post above mine. TP Bonus +100 weapons from magian quests work offhand.

Except you need to read better. Martial main hand+magian offhand and DROP(change to other atma) Smiting blow.

stuff[

By Howling moon you meant Baying moon?
So Gales/Ultimate and another MAB atma with martial+magian looks best if TP bonuses stacks.

[AzazaelFenrir]

DRG can get 4% haste legs. BLM/SCH hat and legs if you aren't sporting the BLM +2 set (or are a SCH). I hear BLU can get nice feet.

This is a lie 4% haste legs do not exist. my 200+ trophies confirm this

Yeah, and even without the offhand an MAB Atma instead of Smiting Blow is best (if you aren't brewing).
