80.

Arguable

[Shiyo]

Well I've gotten 1 AF boot drop in a full 18 alliance in vunkerl in the past hour with 120 amber -_-

[Deader2818]

Are you getting large gold chests? If so. thats your problem.

Also arguable, how is that a problem?

[Deader2818]

I thought cause adding KI to the list of drops if you are going for feet gives it a lower chance to drop an item chest? I could be wrong though, just what I was always told.

People look at it like that now: more amber means more frequent chest drops, but also a bigger loot pool, while less amber means smaller loot poll (thus higher chance for boots), but also less chest appearing. So it's a matter of choice which option you want to use.

You don't get shit pop items for Quasimodo or other NMs in hueg Gold Chests though, so eh.

Exactly, with capped amber you gain KI but lose pop items, and at the same time raise the frequency of gold chests.

[Shiyo]

Got boots, no longer going to complain, yay. Was @128 amber.

Does Emperador de Altepa literally use tp moves back to back or is otherwiki just stating that because they fed enough tp between 1, that it did another right after?

If he's normal, then turning after a 4k needles to heal and turn back around again shouldnt be a bad strategy is it?

[Hyriu]

Only fought it once but it used 4k needles back to back to back, don't remember what the setup was though.

Can I duo Karkadann WHM + NIN? How hard is he?

after 25% it really spam 4k needles back to back even if u turn. should need at least 6 ppl imo

I fought him awhile back and had a couple of close calls, I don't think he should be much of a problem with all applicable abyssites (I only had half when I did him).

[Strawhat]

what's the good amber light to farm pop items like sisy fragments and king tiger hides + others for those sets~
i tried burning mandies in altepa, easy to kill them just didn't get any of those pop items, got all KIs i could and some high price scrolls~
i got 2 sisy fragments with like zero amber lights, some rubies probably, when i was fooling around~ just want to know some experience people had with these~
thinking of getting dagger, almace, kanagi and harp to 90, lol all of those stages would cost a bit too much~

[Ricekid]

What is a good Jailer of Love strat now days? PLD/RDM for tank? and 2 BLMs will be good enough to deal with adds plus w/e else for dmg? Any info appreciated thanks!

Can I duo Karkadann WHM + NIN? How hard is he?

I would think so. A good barspell build might be nice but he wasn't horrendous.

Been awhile since I played RDM. Besides minor teleport convenience and ... Stona? is there any real reason to sub WHM instead of SCH when you're focusing on being a cure bitch?

You'll miss curagas a ton. I think you don't get Viruna or Stona yet and situationally that can be annoying.

[Churchill]

I did it WHM + MNK w/THF for TH only. It's really squishy...I think it went 97-76 in one WS and I was like well maybe I'll get to trying to proc this.

Hate reset might suck but with max -emnity and how squishy it is I don't think you'll have a problem.

Edit: Karkadann

Can spellcast pick up buffs from non-JA sources? Such as haste, marches, an most importantly, stalwarts tonic.
