Granted I just finished my Ochain a few days ago and have only used it a few times in Voidwatch since then, but I see no reason to ever go to much of anything /nin anymore truthfully. Did the Tonberry and Voidwrought and they were both ezpz with /war (Not that they were particularly hard w/o Ochain) aside from the things that /nin isn't going to save you from anyways which can be handled easily through earthen armor and sentinels scherzo. With Almace I like to ride Berserk since pld attk sucks and the more dmg I take the more mp I get back (obviously only good to a point) which is great as a Galka.

My question:
Has anyone tested the proc rate on Kikugosaku in regards to the Zanshin: OAT? I did a quick test with it and I'll admit it was a small sample size but it put it at right around 1.5% which is just about worthless (was just getting this info for when they make the job adjustments this next month to hasso/zanshin). I was hoping it was more in line with every other OAT weapon in the game and somewhere between 40~50%.

This is my approach but frankly the pure evasion set is basically unnecessary these days, especially if you have an eva sekka. My low, mid, and high evasion sets (need Hachi feet).

Best offhand weapon to pair with Almace on BLU, and best Atmas for it!? Also does anyone have a WS set I could look at and perhaps aspire to!?!?

STR Shamshir, RR/Apoc and either GH or SS. They're pretty similar, so depends on whether you want reduced TP feed and extra BT damage or more HP.

Have any of the Pet:MAB +5 augments been on NQ zenith pumps? Going by the synergy augments thread +1 only matter for Summoning Magic Skill, but I wanna be sure before I either go on a search for +1's or make NQ's only to not be able to get the right augment.

Does anyone know where I can purchase direct keys for FFXI online for a new account to start up? I don't have a steam account

I wanna say you can also get the new collection on amazon, and they'll give you the keys.

That worked, thank you

**shaddix** · 2011-06-30 19:18

Dyna windurst with 5 badly geared characters, 4 of which are dualboxed(war whm brd75 rdm thf). Is it possible to get the TEs without a 90blm or should I just go to bcd/xarc?

When I was making my twashtar, I think I read that some of the bats can repop as other mobs, including possible PH mobs. What I did was slaughter every single thing that popped on that tier and it went by pretty fast (if you aren't doing this already). If you are, then you're just having bad luck.

**arus2001** · 2011-06-30 20:20

Bats only, 2 PH (one north, one south), the PH spawn slightly sooner than the other bats when night nears. Either way, it's a shitty NM and I never saw a double pop even though it should technically be possible like Lizzy.

Meanwhile, I've seen lists of what mobs give lights in abyssea, but has any compilation done on the precise values things give? For example, Murex in Mis give a nice chunk of Azure, as does Levi with Amber, but what of mobs in other zones?

**Shiyo** · 2011-06-30 20:23

Bhumi in tahrongi gives 16-128 amber.

Posted in crafting forum too, but figure a wider audience here:

Anyone done gold 60>100 recently? If so, do you mind sharing the synths you did?

I've personally seen 5 smn skill and 4 pet mab on NQ but not 5 so cant say for sure.

Mostly a lulz thought, but, ideal Spirit Taker build for SMN?

**Soho** · 2011-06-30 23:26

Could someone please link the best possible Masamune 6-Hit gear sets for TP and WS (excluding augmented items)?

I did some poking around on FFXIAH but the results seemed to be pretty random.

**Julian** · 2011-07-01 00:38

Ok so, I just exp'd my rng to 90, playing around with jishnu's, I can't help but feel that I may be doing something wrong.

My archery is still about 40~50 levels below cap, how big of an impact is it actually having on my damage?

My current setup for Jishnu: (obviously not optimal, first time even using ranger since the level cap)
Yata crit dmg+5 | yata crit dmg+6
Maat's cap | Light gorget | Pixie | Volley
Loki's | AF3+1 | Rajas | Thunder
Cavaros | Light belt | Byakko's crit dmg+4% | Lithe

I was using Demon arrows (meh) and used both red and yellow curry. (It's exp :/ was using the reds just to see how far I could push the ws)

Obviously missing 3 dex from using volley, and not really sure what to do with hands, missing 4 dex from rings, but that's about it..? I was using RR/GH/Sea Daughter, since it was exp and the regain from sea daughter helped a ton. I averaged around 3k, sometimes dipping into 2k, and maxing around 4.5k. This seems really off from what I heard about this WS, I even recall someone claiming 13k inside abyssea?

Also, with Gandiva's 490 delay, how much STP do I need for x-hit builds? Since I don't plan on using Sea Daughter in a real event (if I ever even get to use my ranger :< Also-- what atma would I actually use on the 3rd slot?) or for outside abyssea.

Thanks

My ranger is pretty epic (not halfassed) - I will regularly one-shot worms (almost 100% with stalwart's) in La Theine. Sorry, that's about all I can tell you about my experience with jishnu's.

*My build is similar to yours, I always eat RCB and my head slot is MKD with 4dex/agi 2% crit dmg/ws dmg.

You were probably just fighting something with high defense or missing hits (skill).

**msthief** · 2011-07-01 00:42

Has anyone done hadhayosh at 90? I've done him once and that was back at 85 - I'm curious if a Nin + Whm could do it (basically, if I could live through meteor). Whm has all applicable atma and an HP above 2100.

**Gun-it** · 2011-07-01 00:42

anyone know what the Enhances "Spirit Link" effect does on drg hands +2?
