Fastest way to level whm mule 50-90? I'd rather not join an alliance.

[Byrthnoth]

I agree that he's dualboxable, but I thought the guy was asking how to get (free) Orthrus claws the fastest.

Join shout group. I assume you have a ukon (or at least a twashtar), you'll be killing enough solo to do it quite fast, let alone the whole alliance. Limit breaks might take a while, though.

[BahamutRicker]

Thanks for the advice. The WHM will be dual boxed by me, so I will make sure he is out of range.

If I were to farm the pop items, what would be the ideal amber to aim for in order to get King Tiger Hides? And how easy is Orthrus with NIN(Kanaggi) + THF + WHM(Boxed) ?

Itz was easy enough (with Orthrus's atma), hopefully Orthrus wont be much harder.

There always seems to be people leveling their mules in Bosaunieux Oubliette. My mule got up to 90k/hr while we destroyed all the leeches down below.

[lolwut]

Ok thanks.

So on legs, Attack+15 "Double Attack"+5% > STR8 for sure? how does Hachiryu Haidate fit in the hierarchy?

I can't remember the actual numbers, but I'm fairly certain AF3 legs beat Hachi, though that may only be on Abyssea/75 fodder content (which is most of the game atm). As far as hierarchy I'd say perfect Bellicus, AF3, perfect Heca+1, and perfect Armada all beat Hachi. Perfect Byakkos should also if they cap ddex for you, but there's not enough mobs where ddex is cappable that you don't already auto cap to really bother mathing that out.

You're doing it wrong if you have to resolve to Orthrus's atma.

Find a decent Dominion page. Go BLU/RDM. Cure yourself as need on the mule and AoE them down with Whisker/Pulse/Rage. Rinse and repeat to 90. Should take an afternoon.

Didn't HAVE to, but definately felt safer. Spikes can be crazy with nin attack speed.

Done with Carabosse moving onto Cirein-Croin. Duoble by NIN and WHM?

Have the weaponskill revamps hit the test server yet? Specifically i'm wondering if SCH gets staff WSes (cataclysm particularly) without war/whm/whatever subs now.

[Byrthnoth]

Iirc, they do.

I usually farm them with 0 Amber. Anything higher always seems to yield way more large gold boxes than smaller ones.

And yea, did quite a few Orthrus myself with Kannagi NIN + Twashtar THF + WHM. You'll be more than fine.

How do i set windower background resolution to 2x normal resolution? What other settings should i use to make it look better?

I tried these settings (cut and paste into my launcher.ini file), but, windower gave me an error when I tried to launch it.

Just have the NIN run out below 50% to avoid getting hit with the 2nd TP move, which can be Mayhem Lantern. Can have the WHM kite it but slows down the fight. Won't be TPing a ton with a good NIN tank anyway but just a warning.

[Nevermore]

Whats a good place for 200 beetles? Me and my brother are duoing smn staff trials and so far we are getting 6 every couple of mins in Crawlers Nest. Is this the best that were gonna get?

[Gustave]

Is the next bonanza likely around new years? I had trouble finding reliable dates for the last 2 years. I just remember seeing one about every 6 months. I made 10 mules and deactivated them a few weeks ago. Looking to lock in a V helm lol.


If the new gear is in the dats for the test server, can you see them in altanaviewer?

Yes. Just run CC around the bridge when ninja gets charmed.

[Darkmagi]

Also worth noting CC only ever does charm as the second TP move, so you can easily outrun or stun it.
