Best way to solo crabs in WoE?

Kill one, run away when it dies(more than 16') other crabs will move to where that one died, drop mule from pt, sac pull one at a time.

[Pendulum]

No.

thanks broder

[Koyangi]

Inside and outside Abyssea Evisceration WS gear, and Dancing Edge outside?

please provide a 2nd best option in the case of something being rare/hard to get/or unreasonable to obtain. Thanks.

repost, and new question:

Are the sky Gods capped on accuracy? a 90THF wearing extra evasion or even some negative evasion wont make a difference?

[Cymmina]

Anyone have a working link to the ZoneTimer plugin? Looks like the windower site has gone through some changes and certain links no longer work.

Hm, that's messed up. They were moving plugins to the forum file manager, but I don't see it there either:

THF and BLM can duo Amhuluk or should I add in another mage?

[Rikura]

You might want to add in a WHM for Amhuluk. Then it should be cake. TP moves and magic will be hard to keep up with with just Cure IV, on top of yellow staggering.

What combat skill level can I start skilling a weapon in abyssea? And what is the best target to start with?

[Rehn]

I started at staff220 on crabs in grau or something similarly easy. RR, dominion bonuses to your stats and such means your acc are going to be good despite the low level (even better if its 2 handed weapon). With crab sushi, my mage char had very doable acc despite the crabs being decent challenge to 90.

No, they are far from capped acc but it isn't a floored hit rate. Eva gear does make a difference but I don't think you need to max out eva in all the slots for capped eva, possibly just +40 in gear would be enough.

THF and BLM can duo Amhuluk or should I add in another mage?

Maybe possible with full meds on both chars, but the longer you have to hold the more boned you're going to be. Adding a whm will make it easymode.

[Martinius]

Rehn's right about method and mob. I started club at 190 and staff at 205 under those circumstances and had excellent results.

[samalis]

I could have sworn I saw this question asked a couple pages back but I can't find it now. Anyways. Whats a good pair of H2H to get at 90? Besides Vere. About to hit 90 and still using Destroyers.

[sunglass]

Is there any simple explanation for why the first character I log in always has a lot more lag/stutter than subsequent ones? I've had to start logging my alt in first so that I can play my main without having to deal with it. I can play 3-4 accounts simultaneously with capped FPS on them all, but the first one that's logged in always has this annoying stutter, especially inside the MH.

Would love to know if anything could be done to prevent this :\

Taurine cestis could tide you over until something better comes along (magian-wise). Blue !! drop off indrik.

[DNAval]

And I got 10 seals for a friend in 4 kills. Get grellow, have TH, accept that random is random.

grellow on 7/10 kills TH 7 on most TH 8 on like 2-3 of them finished 2 summoner bodies and 1 whm, many people agree tiger doesn't favor nin.

and what's with suggesting the obvious this far in the game, grellow is a standard for seal/+2 mats. and so is having a THF mule, go suggest that in alla not here

If you plan to play MNK a lot get the fire claws with 9str20atk they are BIS inside and out of abyssea aside from emp/relic.

Doesn't take too long to do either.

no, they're not

taurine are better and waaaaaaaaaaay easier to get

fire barely even beat oat in top end gear, and don't beat them in lower end

fire win by an incredibly tiny amount outside abyssea over taurine

[Syntex]

Yea I was looking at that link that was posted and I'm surprised that taurine are so good given how little work is involved in getting them.

[samalis]

Awesome, thanks guys. Also what jobs should I bring to Indrik? Glanced over there and it says BRD makes him trivial?

I haven't done Indrik since zones were first released, but if things haven't changed too much NIN with Migwari helps quite a bit.
