Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[home]

Besides astral burning, what is the fastest way to get a mules job from 1-30, provided I can use my main to heal it. Just standard kill shit, or is it faster to do GoV pages on my main with my mule in tow. Thanks!

[Atoreis]

First of all it depends what you wanna lvl on your mule. Pure melee jobs are much easier to just PL with healer and doing FoV/GoV on EM-T mobs. PLing your WHM would be rather hard on the other hand because of kill speed obviously. In second case probably best is to have a mule on follow while doing GoV. In first case you can also use Anni ring and skill up at the same time which is good for you.

Basic / more advanced Nin MDT set? Right now just consists of merman earrings/rings and Lamia Kaman +1

Denali Wristbands, Colossus' Mantle, Lieutenant's Sash, MKD hat with MDT-2% if it's available to you. Dark Rings with higher MDT augments and/or Shadow Ring are a plus. Empty slots can be filled with MDB/INT if you so desire. If you don't care about TP, Oupire drops a MDT-5% katana.

Is the flame sachet 100% from brulo? I would assume it is like the others, but wiki has it listed as ???

[Gun-it]

atma's for Aeolian Edge on NIN not brewing and while brewing? If its different.

Physical weaponskills of all types cause ruby.

Magical/elemental weaponskills of all variety cause amber.

Magic spells cause azure.

Normal attacks/avatars/melee kills cause pearl.

I'm aware of that page on wiki and am generally familiar with how that stuff works. To be more specific I used Gekko to kill a mob and got ruby light even though Gekko is listed as a wind based WS (by the color in the WS list). I'm probably thinking of it wrong and I'm starting to think that the element designation of the WS doesnt make it "elemental" for the purposes of amber vs. ruby so that's why I was asking if there is a list somewhere that just spells it out simply. The Abyssea Lights wiki page doesn't say what WS's cause ruby or amber, only that ruby = physical and amber = elemental.

[Churchill]

The only WS that will amber vs ruby are the ones that are actual Red Procs + Lv300 WS in some cases. I'm not sure if burning blade does, but based on having the same description as RLB I'd guess that it would be an exception

Elemental is a misnomer. All ws have elemental properties which help determine its skill chain alignment. What gives amber light are ws that do magical damage (like jinpu, koki, and kagero)

Gales, Ultimate, and (I prefer) Baying Moon. You can use Beyond in place of Ultimate if you don't have that one. I believe it's pretty much something like this a lot of the time.

Gales and Baying Moon are super easy to get. Beyond is a little more difficult if only because he's a T3 VNM in Abyssea - Konschtat.

[Gun-it]

Thanks
edit:
Just so I know what to work at whats a good set look like for nin AEing?

1-10 in starter zone, at 10 just go to gusgen mines: there's almost always an xp ally going (on Bahamut at least), just spam page 1/2. At 27 xp might slow down if you can't find syncs, in that case qufim is you best bet: grab the page with pugils/crabs or pugils/gigas, with outside healing you can chain #5 consistently.

Smiting Blow instead of Baying Moon unless you have a martial/TP bonus knife.

2.75 * 1.8 = 4.95
3.5 * 1.5 = 5.25

3.5 * 1.8 = 6.3
4.0 * 1.5 = 6.0

[Radec]

Aeolian Brew: Gales Smiting Ultimate, Add in Hateful Stream depending on day, in place of ultimate.
Aeolian nonbrew: Gales Smiting(If not using Martial Knife) Ultimate [Hells Guardian|Beyond|Baying Moon](If using Martial Knife)

Good setup for Aeolian:

Martial Knife/Anything/---/Anything
Anything/Anything/Anything/Anything
Anything/Anything/Anything/Anything
Anything/Anything/Anything/Anything

I kid, but martial does more for your damage than anything else. Slap on whatever mab, dex, and int gear you have, it's unlikely to be worthwhile in buying anything but martial for an AE set.

Me:

Martial/KClub/---/PhantomTath
Ree's Headgear/Artemis Medal/Hecate/Novio
Osode/Nothing/Galdr/Demons(3Mab Augment)
Nothing/Obi or Nothing/Byakko's/AF1+1

I think SE said something about WoE change, did they already change something or is that next update.

Next update.

[Okan]

Oh, well then I had some wrong information. Thanks for the info, I'll make sure to fix it.
Granted, I do Cata more so than Aeolian Edge, but I'm sure it's still mostly relevant.

Just to point out for AE:

http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/21...etto2-off-hand

Tp bonus Fusetto+2 has been tested to give its tp bonus offhand as well

Here's my current AE build I'm aiming for: http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/169222
Notes: Matt bonus+4 on body, and I have a matt+1 augment on my warwolf belt.

Other than that the only hard parts of this gearset to get is hecate's earring, which isn't super hard, and the martial knife, which goes for a lil over 1mil on most servers.

As for atmas it depends what I'm using AE for, but overall I'd suggest baying moon + ultimate + gales, since martial knife + fusetto put you at 300 tp all day erry day.


Still need to buy a martial knife, get denali kecks, and

[Colenzo]

are you sure the TP bonus applies when its in your off hand ?

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, look at the link he posted.

yes, all sachets are 100% unless the entire party/alliance have them.
