Atmas for FC'ing?
VV/GC/??

If you're going to have mighty strikes up a majority of the time, RR. If not, Stout Arm or Apoc, not sure which would come out ahead.

Does your NATURAL skill (minus merits) have to be 230 or above to start weapon skill trials? I'm standing at the npc on blm with 230 skill (222+4 club merits) unable to trigger quest. I have no weapon training guide key item and I see Blood and Glory (staff quest) in my quest>completed section which I did a few weeks ago. He won't give me quest, he just rambles on about the timely return of the minister has saved the orastery mages.

Has to be your natural skill. Merits/gear don't count.

Natural skill.

[cdgreg]

So much for that shortcut! Thanks lol

[Gun-it]

Can get atma's anywhere in zone?

[Pendulum]

As long as you have visitant I think yes. My group were doing Orthrus non-stop while allied to another ls party that did several NMs such as Dragua/Hedje and always got the atma.

yes

Asking for a friend who just got a Masamune.

Can I get an ideal tp set as well as a ws set. He needs the help badly. Looks like a dumpster of gear atm lol..... just everything is thrown on him. Assume he has nothing and needs to be worked from the ground up. Thanks in advance.

Five-hit TP:
Masa/Rose/___/W.Tath
AF3+2/Unkai/Centaurus/Brutal
AF3+2/Dusk+1/Rajas/Hoard
Tactical/Bullwhip/AF3+2/Ace's

WS:
Masa/Rose/___/Thew
Varangian/Ele.Gorget/Centaurus/Brutal
Byrnie+1/Heafoc/Rajas/Strigoi
Unkai/Ele.Belt/Hachiryu/AF3+2

16.0 TP on WS, 21.0 TP on melee for a 5-hit.
WS is going to vary slightly depending on buffs and target, but that's the general idea.

Thank you Nyosan now time to work on this for him.

Edit : Forgot to ask what were the ideal atmas he should be using. He is currently using Apoc, Stout Arm and VV

So it's been over 2 1/2 hours since I've seen Gangly Gean (I was the last 1 who killed it), what's preventing him from repopping?

Are you killing all the Treants? He has three placeholders (only one can be up at any given time) that spawn in very difference places.

Is there any way to get macros to work properly if you have, say, two of the magian staffs with the same name? Like the Earth Potency and Earth Accuracy staffs, for instance. I'd want Earth Potency for elemental magic, but accuracy for Slow.

[Koyangi]

Where can I download the abyssea map packs for apradar2, not finding it on their site, I can unlock it but I get no use out of it in abyssea without the map packs.

Derp, wrong topic

No, they have to be different. You can have a +1 and a +2, both of them will have the affinity +5 on it. Have to pick which you want more on the +2: cast time or recast time.

Wiki lies?

I don't know if they adjusted it. You can see Nynja's comments in that thread. I know that before the Abyssea NM patch, you could pop him by killing the PHs I listed (and they wouldn't be up if he was up). I numbered all of them and ran through it as one of my first few NMs because a NIN in my LS wanted the drop.

All Abyssea NMs can now be lottos off of themselves and have no minimum repop times. Just for safety, I'd kill the three Treants I listed.

[Koyangi]

All Visions NM's or does Gukumatz work this way too(I've never thought so)?

Also how can I obtain the files so my apradar2 shows the map and works in abyssea? After obtaining these files how do I properly implement them too? Thanks.
