Seadaughter is my guess for normal abyssea.

Alruna's Gloves beat Schutzen. Considering Cor can 5/4 hit pretty easily, between QDs and WF Sea Daughter should lose in overall damage to Smouldering/Ultimate/Lone combo in general, worse during Triple Shot. I wouldn't bother with SD unless you were also using Cor for other procs.

Been contemplating what NMs blu could potentially solo now at 95 and I was wondering if it might be possible now for blu to solo Mother Globe? Was thinking adds could be one shotted with BA + Thunderbolt/CA + Efflux WoR, stun locking MG (don't know if immune to stun) with sudden lunge and heavy strike/delta thrust the adds as they pop, but don't know if the slave globes are immune to stun, since otherwiki has barely any info on them. Haven't had time to test this out since I barely have time except for events in ls.

Long time ago (I believe it was lv80 maybe) I saw a video of BLU + someone on another job (maybe RDM for refresh?) duoing MG. Well, after pets were dead BLU was more less soloing it, 1 shotting pets with (probably) Regurgitation and nuking MG in between with Regurgitaion and Blastbomb. Also, at 80-85 Avesta soloed MG on RDM with opening with Aeolian Edge 1-shotting all pets and then Bind/DoT MG + T3 nuking pets as they were popping.

In short, I bet you could do it, Thunderbolt/CW -> Grav/Bind kite nuke. And yes, I think MG is stunnable (I haven't fought her for 2 years now tho...).
GL, you can do this!

Suggestions on a duo setup for farming coins in dyna-bubu? One character is limited to MNK, but has DNC sub ready. While my main has rdm, WHM, NIN, and SAM. I have both thf and dnc subs ready.

I was thinking either MNK and NIN both /dnc, which I tried last night, or maybe MNK and rdm/thf? Who knows, just looking for any first hand experience and such. Thanks in advance.

The video you're thinking of is probably Rapakya's, which was at 75 cap. JP Taru, also had solo videos for various NMs including Fenrir Prime, Scitalis, Zipacna, Steam Cleaner. BLU can easily solo MG now, don't even have to get fancy with Grav/Bind... just straight tank it with PDT/Cocoon.

With Neo-Dynamis does currency actually still drop normally or does it only show up with procs now?

Basically I want to know if I can be a lazy bum and just farm mobs right next to the entrance for currency without grabbing TEs and worrying about proccing.

[Skeelo]

if you farm for the full hr without procs or TE's you will see maybe 10 currency at most, and thats being generous

"Yes" but you'll pull at best.. 40-50 w/out procs/TE as a THF main and several miracles.

im going to bump you because im wondering this my self
my duo combinations are
nin/dnc or mnk/dnc <--- this one has a gimp thf 90 dunno if that's good
thf/dnc , nin/dnc, bst/dnc
so any clue what the best combo is would be appreciated

[Esvedium]

What you need for lots of currency in CoP areas:
dnc main or /dnc for proc'ing /ja
Someone to kill fast, preferable a semi-evasive job, sub dnc for a few cures and s/i getting around for TE's and changing camps
????
profit

I've been doing dnc/--- dnc/--- thf/dnc the last few runs and we walk out with 300 coins per run, give or take. However, now that I have my NIN @ 95, I'll take that instead of my thf to speed up kills, have one dnc switch to thf (I'm a sucker for treasure hunter's placebo effect), and make the other dnc go /war and say fuck white procs. We're 0/tons on white procs over many runs. It's just not worth it, really.

For you I would say MNK/DNC + BST/DNC using the ladybug for TH. Should give you several JAs for proccing, good kill speed, and TH3.

Time to tell my wife to bust out her old bst gear then ^_^, i'll be blowing dust off my monk gear as well, but i did forget to say that the character with mnk/dnc has kannagi on his ninja does that make a diff?

Any good programs/scripts for auto leveling summoning magic?

[Tirgen]

I bought the Ultimate collection on Amazon - but hell if I can find the place where I enter the code to unlock the expansions. I know it used to be in the content Id section of playonline, but with the SE account business that doesn't work. anybody know offhand?

[evilpaul]

Need to login to the Squeenix Account on their website I'm pretty sure.

[Tirgen]

yeah, I got that far - but once I'm logged on I can't find any option except buying the expansion individually for 9.99 each....

Go to Abyssea Emph Paradox, Load up on Atma. Echo's at the end are so you can view your log file and see how far along you are, people are chatty bitches in say inside. I also suggest to put up /away mode. You need spellcast for this to work, some LS mates have gotten memory errors trying to load the script for some reason.

When you go to select service, at the Top of the screen next to the XI logo click "Add a service account"

I did some googling, but nothing seems to be really current.

I just got my WHM up to 75, so I wanted to catch up the "best" subjobs for it. (I only have SMN at 37+)

On my Server I see most with /BLM, but I've heard good things about /RDM and /SCH.

Is any particular one the 'best' ?

[Kyte]

Ganesha's Mask good for anything?

[Deader2818]

Think its good for MNK since you cap haste so should give a good amount of attack.

well i guess its not true capped haste ;/

I think there's a link on the left hand side that says "confirm service" (or maybe register service?) then you have to click FFXI and there should be a place to punch in that code.
