It depends on your atma combos and the mob. RR GH SS will make vorpal win against easy mobs.

What's the fastest/most efficient way to earn Resistance Credits? Am I stuck doing Bastions? It seems most of the OPs are pretty mediocre on credit rewards...

Bastion is the fastest afaik...can get 1k credits in like 2 battles even if they are short.

Fanatic and AoE bastion (RDM CS blizzaga, WAR fell cleave, Blu whisker/wild/other, etc.)

Can get 1-3k from one like that.

RR/GH/SS for any particular reason? I'd have thought RR/GH/AoA or RR/SS/AoA, but that's mostly because I use those on NIN/THF/MNK. Am I missing something about BLU?

[Lyltia]

How much Defense does Kirin have, and how much Attack would be necessary to cap?

[cdgreg]

Is the Out of Range spawn alert from Apradar3 working properly for anyone?

[SaviorSelf]

Merits for BST?

Was thinking Call Beast 5, Reward 5, Beast Affinity 5, Beast Healer 5?

Think I saw this answered on the previous page or few.

I actually check the forums all the time. Already decided to not use speed hack at all since really isn't needed for me. For GM tag I don't train zones, however I would assume if you did then simply turning off GM tag and then backing up should fix it. I will admit I am curious how you were jailed? Was it the way the mobs acted or something? Never used it for this purpose so trying to envision what happened.
I am wondering if there is anyway SE can detect the rate at which you are moving. I mean "warp speed" seems like a obvious way to be detected.
I am thankful for all the help people offer.

Yes, it was how they were acting, and I did not realize that was the problem at the time. They were literally all stuck on top of me.

And some zones do have some form of trigger if you're moving too fast, the starter zones I know for a fact have them. Can't say for sure how they work, but I know they're there. I WAS LAGGING THIS TIME TOO, I SWEAR GAIS.

Did you try to uncheck the GM tag and the move back some? Just wondering. How did the GM become aware of the mobs being stacked ontop of you?

I've never heard an answer to the question of BLU melee atma since the SS patch, so you could be right. I went with GH over AoA for the following reasons:

1. If I'm tanking, I don't want to give the mob TP and I don't get higher tier subtle traits like MNK.
2. AGI also helps Benthic Typhoon.
3. Counter is nice for tanking.
4. No quick cast to mess up my Ichi casting

SS v AoA I could see AoA winning, but I would think the utility of SS increases with critical hit rate while the utility of AoA becomes undermined via the mega-DA we're beginning to receive. Also, additional HP for survival is nice. You could be right about AoA, but I'm too lazy to simulate it.

WS (Ascetics/VS), Counter, and PDT set for MNK?

Edit: Specifically for PDT set, am I looking to cap with Staff or just in melee set? 24% Haste + 35%PDT v 25% haste 29% PDT?

^ Quick answer would be nice since I'm holding an Arhat Jinpachi+1 and in 1mil deficit because of it.

I'm suprised about the lack of MM, I think I asked before about Blu atmas and got RR/GH/MM as the normal setup. Been using that pretty much exclusively.

[Lyn]

Can you unlock Blade: Ku & Blade: Kamu at the same time?

It varies by what you're doing. If you're spamming spells, minikin is an obvious choice. However, some mobs aren't worth casting against (See: Alfard/Ningiajajhnuqnbjhbqshqb). Generally, this applies to high DEF mobs since BLU ATT for spells is shit whereas critical hit adds a bonus point during the pDIF/ratio formulation as well as raising the cap.

[Aihree]

Pretty sure that unlike magian weapons, wsnm unlock weapons must be in the main hand to receive credit. So no.

[Kaisha]

Alright, I'm lazy atm and not in the mood to skim all of the VW thread right now. Has it been confirmed yet if cat2 spells are potential trigger? I know cat2 JA can trigger highly vulnerable, so that gives me worry in wasting merits just making sure everything that affects a mob in some way is meritted on all my jobs.

For NIN Iga+2 set can anyone remind me what the Aug Dual Wield percent is per piece? Thank you.

So dismal that its not even worth mentioning and you should just use the traditional cookie cutter gear.

If i recall wasn't it 2% per item after 2 pieces, with a total of 10% DA?
