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?

Gob pet beetles in I think saur (S). There's 2 camps around the mountain in the middle of the zone.

Fastest way to farm Orthrus pops?

hardest part is tiger king hides
what my group did was get about 20-40 amber (no more than that) and cleave Surveyors for gold boxes.
hq dhalmel we just straight farmed them
sharaba hide too, just killed the nm for it
then killed the lesser cerb for orthus pop KI

Yeah don't see any new threads about it either... is it buried somewhere in one or something?

Thank you, but that's someone asking for some improvements, even I can see that's not a fully complete set for either situations.

I was hoping for some perfect TP/WS builds for 5-hit etc, just something to heard towards Ya Know?

Whats the minimum to kill AV? I know he is a joke now, but I don't want to be over confident and lose the pop.

I understood the question to mean weaponskill availability being adjusted, such as SMN gaining access to Cataclysm. As far as I know, the weaponskills themselves haven't changed.

I heard that you can't block ironclads or shinryus "melee hits" with a shield, is that true? Also, even if you can, what's the best offhand weapon on PLD for DDing if you have an almace?

Yeah, where was that sad? Didn't see any post made that they were going to adjust who can use certain WS.

Use a shield. Our Ochain does it all the time.

I know they patched 1st floor madame pop requirements so logging out doesnt pop frog anymore. But has anyone tried unlocking just say a healer (and in this scenario he would be a 2nd healer, 4th person in the group) and then have them warp out and leave thus leaving everyone in the zone with still 0 cells used?

It blocks hits as well as their additional effects. Don't know who's spewing that bullshit.

If my mule has enough crafting skill to be able to purchase a crafting emblem (for stalls), would I be able to send that emblem to my main character on the same account to use for Synergy skilling 70-80?

Just got Ganesha's mask, is it worth using on the jobs its avaliable for? Mnk looks to be the only one that would benefit for the most part. But even then you are losing the fraction of haste, 10 subtle blow, and 7str.

[Rikura]

You aren't "losing" any haste (4 head, 3 hands, 12 waist, 7 legs should still get you 26). I'd say it's the best MNK TP piece but AF3+2 head still has its uses.

Welp nevermind, brainfarted on tantra hose. F that noise then

Head is 7, legs are 6.

That aside, it's got potential when getting haste+2xMarch as you'll be slightly over the haste cap with true 25% gear and a brd with march+4 (hands and gjallar or Voidwatch march harp)
Magical: Victory is 96/1024 base, +4*16/1024 = 160, Advancing 64+4*16 = 128, haste 150 = 438 of 448 potential
Gear: Without knowing the exact values, at worst it'll be 246/1024 using the mask.
66.7% total haste, 67.7% if SV'd a march.

Delay: Taking Vere and using Tantra+2 body, you're at -205 delay, 531 base, so 38.6% reduction

1-haste * 1-delay = 0.2 speed cap, max haste is 67.4%, ~691/1024. It ends up coming down to exactly what haste you have from the mask set without SVMarch, 253+ and you'll be capped with it.

I don't remember how far back there was that discussion about uggy not working with quick draw, but mine's working fine (0 MP merits, /sam) but probably because Mirke Wardecors has 10MP on it. If I have 0 native MP, 0/50 (0/10 visable) QD (uggy, demon ring x2, mirke), should still be fine if I get the MP cruor buff right? (Cus choosing all is faster than choosing individually!). LS/WF should be ok too as they have 0/20 visable gear MP (anwig, mirke), and I guess under brew the ele gorget is better than uggy's anyway?

Also, does the "Enhances Quick Draw" 20% damage boost to subsequent attacks work from dark/light shot? Would using dark/light shot (even if resit/no dispel) increase the damage of dark/light spells/WS/etc?
