Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Tahona]

about to do some fafnirs, are n head or n legs (hq) with synergy augments any good for drakesbane?

[Neisan]

N Legs can get +crit augments I believe, check synergy thread for any augments on head.

EDIT: subforums > Sky Abj synergy thread.

[Ticktick]

nlegs probably not better than empy legs though

[dasva]

I believe skill adds a separate multiplier, and iirc it caps out at some point for Ichi/Ni nukes. Don't recall for San, don't have an exact formula.

/sadface. It's odd can't even V and M values

[Nightfyre]

Check alla, pretty sure Motenten (Kinematics) had some data in the NIN forums somewhere.

[Haborym]

WAR, restraint down, Perle Moufles or Armada Mufflers?

Using this set.

[TacoTaru]

Asking for a friend, are there any pieces of RNG AF worth getting and +1ing other than the hands? Also, are there any DNC pieces worth +1ing? Wife picked up the Apollyn piece and then realized she didn't know what the fuck to use it on.

Why would you drop the last bit of haste for... 5 accuracy? Unless you're having serious accuracy issues I guess?

RNG: not really, I've heard nothing on Legs enhancement to sharpshot because that's about it from what I can see.
DNC: I could be wrong but I think it was mentioned in the facts thread Steps have increased accuracy, so enhances steps gear was probably -invo.

They have haste on them, sorry.

[Neisan]

They have haste on them, sorry.

Still looks like mostly a wash unless you need the 5 accuracy then. Perle would be better outside probably.

any tips on Battleclad Chariot? a few days ago there were some questions and answers here and someone posted that any salvage zone is clear-able by nin+thf+whm but Zhayolm Remnants doesn't look easy + its 7 floors

a few strats on how to get there and kill the chariot would be awsome.

You don't need a strat beyond "bring a ninja," and only if you plan to do the entire zone+boss with 3 or less. It is seriously easy. Migawari allows everyone but the ninja to stay out of range of discoid. Additionally, between ninjas natural subtle blow+merits+auspice, it will not tp very often. The one oddity is if earth weather is up discoid will still one shot you for some reason. I had this happen once; not sure if I got glitched out or something (and yes I am positive migawari did not wear).

I triboxed Zhayolm routinely trying to get marduk feet 25.

If you're going just for the Boss, then ZR is cake tbh. A lot of it you can just skip. We did it last week with 4, going THF, WAR, RDM, BRD. We did 4fn frog too for someone's usu 15. The only thing we did that was particularly special was repop the 4th floor to make sure we got our last HP cells. Ignore the setups here because you have a NIN who can just eat Discoid but there are some runs worked out on the wiki... http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/wiki/Zha...ss_Walkthrough in terms of getting there.

[Byrthnoth]

That's an absolutely horrible strategy. 13 freaking people? Why don't they just open the strategy guide with "1) First, you shoot your hands"? Salvage doesn't get easier the more people you bring, it gets harder.

If you want to do it stupidly easily (and are willing to trade some gil) at level 90, THF + 2 BST/DNC is probably the way to go. Bring some pet food and Dawn Mulsums for the boss. Make sure you get at least two ranged cells for the BSTs, and three if you want to do NMs. The zone's gimmicks are Charmga and AoE damage. BST pets have unlimited HP with Dawn Mulsum, won't be one-shotted, and can't be charmed.

I am farming salvage 4-5 times per week with NIN + THF + SCH. I usually go as NIN/DNC to stun charmga and death when we are farming ZR. It is very easy to clear ZR (Jakko + Socket + 3rd/4th + 5th + 6th floor frogs + Boss) with 3 lvl 90 players. Sometimes we have 5-6 people when some friends wanna come to help but the run is usually a bit messy. As Brythnoth adequately put it: the less people you have, the easier the run is.

THF WAR WHM We did same route as above + all gears on the way for alexs.
4400/3= 1433, 716-1000 with MDT is not a big deal with curaga IV.

Asking for a friend that just came back last night after 3 years being off and doesn't post here at all. Is there a list on a website somewhere of good gear to use for level 60ish jobs? He has bst at 75, I think his sam is 72 (might be 75) and war is 61. He was asking me last night what to use and it's been so long since I was 60 that I had a hard time remembering. He doesn't have Abyssea yet so leeching to 78 to be able to use Perle set isn't an option yet for him until he'd get into af3.

Asking for me: Is there a website that lists zones and their weather status? Trying to do magian trials for great axe and need firesday/weather for the rest of my trials. Can think off hand of Ifrit's Cauldron and Mount Zhayolam.

Only shows forecast, though.

And uh, I guess if you really want to "pimp yourself" at level 60, there's hauby(+1), okotes(was thinking sam when i wrote this, surely there must be some decent hands i can't think of for war), the rk pants or w/e that have +str and maybe +dex, rse feet depending on race, sniper/rajas/str rings, w/e attack earrings you can use, peacock charm, swift belt/some str belt for ws, voyager sallet, and zeal cap/+1 has a little bit of haste, patroc helm is good for jobs that can use it, amemet+1.

I think I'm going to battle through and make some level 90 guides for Salvage, after seeing that atrocity posted earlier.
This is what I have for Bhaflau: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Bhaflau_Remnants_Guide

How does it look? Is there additional helpful information that I should include?

I'd like to design it so that three competent players who have never done Salvage before could read it beforehand and have a moderately successful first run.
