Yeah, I have some of the ones he's done, just looking to see how to go about renaming others once I've found the PH (Using widescan, etc).

AF(+1) body when not delay capped/marches iirc? Assuming acc capped I believe.

When trading Limbus chips to enter zones (Silver/Orchid/etc) do you lose the chip upon entry? I got a scarlet & emerald chip from years ago and want to do proto-ultima again so people can get the atma. Hoping they're not like BCNM orbs, where you hold onto them, but they're inactive, cause if so, I got no idea if I used them.

If it's the case that they are retained after use, any way to know if the ones I have are active?

Random Question: When farming for dark rings in highlands, has anyone discovered the most efficient amount of amber light to maintain? I have heard a lot of differing opinions on this, so I figured I throw it out to the wealth of knowledge that is the BG random question thread. Suggestions on mobs and camps also welcome. Thanks guys.

For dark rings I always cap amber. For hairpins I keep it under 100. Anyone seen a Dark ring from a small chest?

[jaqen]

I have gotten dark rings from small chests, but if you have had luck getting them from max chests then that would be much easier to accomplish.

[Edelweiss]

Only once, and there were two of them. Even then, the augments were so fucking terrible (1st: 1% MDT 2nd: 1% PDT and Breath Damage taken -1% on both) it wasn't possible to entertain any other uses for them besides NPCing.

I lay out how to do it in the spoiler here:

They're just like BCNM orbs and Testimonies, you keep them but they're unusable. Good news is that you can just trade those to the thingie in Temenos to see if they're still good since they're only the tier1 chips.

High amounts of amber will increase your odds of higher quality augments. When I got my hairpin, I had capped amber and never saw a ring with worse than +3% PDT/MDT/BDT. I didn't believe the wiki's listed range of 1-6% until I saw someone with a 2% ring.

^this, though AF3+2 body may win anyway outside Abyssea depending on cRatio/critrate. Probably need accuracy at that point anyway though.

Guessing you'd be on DRK or SAM for anything outside Abyssea where you'd cap critrate during TP so the Byakko's Haidate/Iga Kyahan +2 combo isn't worth mentioning (and it's only especially good if the additional 20 DEX is what gets you to critrate cap anyway), but if you're getting support from a BRD with a March +3 instrument then Haidate + Usu feet would be the way to go since you'll overcap delay reduction if you cap gear haste.

My random question: what are the minimum and maximum durations for unresisted Jubaku: Ichi and Kurayami: Ni?

Is this a better setup than replacing dusk+1 with ocelot/aurore and usu feet with af3+2?

Also, inside abyssea, rr/gh/ss. Pre kannagi, best jin setup?

[Shiyo]

What blu spells are a must have as a 90 bluemage?

nvm this job makes me want to kill myself and is the least amount of fun I've ever had in a video game, I refuse to learn any spell past cocoon

[Cairthenn]

Yes - why would you do that?

[Secksi]

It's the most common setup I see people using around town. I'll switch out to Usu feet now.

very quick question about chocobo blinkers, has anyone been able to NPC them for more than 519gil each?
I been selling to NPC in port jeuno duty free shop.
Max fame of course, just wondering if all NPCs would price the same or does some variance occur? thank you tons.

NPCs in starter cities always offer more gil than NPCs in Jeuno/Whitegate/anywhere else.

Thank you, i did not know that. I am grateful for the info.

How much is the pet regen on the AMK hat? Would it be worth choosing as a second option over pet haste for a BST Anwig Salade? First augument being pdt.

Bumping for possible response.

Kind of stroking my epeen, but has anyone ever done 15 floors in nyzul? We got extremely close last night, but timed out on the 14th floor (lost the 10 floors by literal seconds), and were forced to leave on the 14th the previous set.

We failled on the 14th floor when we we were spamming nyzul at 75 a while back. We were lucky with the room placement (i think we had 3 freebies), but last floor ended up being 5 chariots with 1min30 left....just impossible.


Our best run however was a 5 floors (at 75) where we got no healing 5 chariots 5 soulflayers back to back, followed by soulflayer NM with another debuff. I'm still not sure how we made it out alive of that one. Every floor were the "worst floor ever".
