Wildfire 2 shots Alfard

Really. Thought it was strong against magic/fire crap. Thanks for info.

[Byrthnoth]

I did ~80% bats, ~20% Coeurls for 150 Glavoid shells. If you can get bats without competition, they're the only choice.

[Ocara]

scorps can be good for cata-cleaving since bats resist dark. As a bonus, scorps wont deagg (track by scent) and aggro sound so is pretty easy to wrangle them up. They dont link though and the cliffs are a bit of a pain, so really only good if elsewhere is busy, but its what I always used.

As long as somebody doesn't fuck you over and WS in-between the two wildfire then yeah you're good for a 2shot. You need the darkness SC is all.

ToA - How much of it is 2boxable?

I just burned through ZM as BLU & WHM, and finished up PM5-4 through PM8-4 in the last 48rs (took a week break after PM5-3 cause fuck all the running around for that), considering doing ToA again for the hell of it.

Not much reason that I can see for actually doing it event-wise (only Einherjar needs you to finish the first two) other than as a time waster. Perhaps I'll lvl SMN on the account one day as an Alex-bitch, who knows. I just need something to do in my LS offtime, and unfortunately magian trials bore the living daylights out of me.


On the subject of missions, are the story add-on augmentable rewards usable at all for a 90WHM? Only thing I can think of at a quick glance (and being sleep deprived) is Movement speed & Cure Potency on ASA pants to swap in when I dont need the MP from +1 AF3 pants as well as keeping up with my main's crimson pants a little better, and that's it.

Getting close to being just about done with my soul stage, and I haven't really played with Azdaja a whole lot in the past other then the hand full of times when heroes first came out, what's a good WS to use against him for brewing? I'd assume anything darkness based like sanguine blade and cataclysm would be total shit.

Priority for DEX, INT and MaB for Aeolian Edge? Mainly in ring slots: DEX+5 Ring, INT+5 Ring or MaB+2 Ring? inb4 gimp get +7 rings, working on it. But until then?
Edit: Oh, this is for both Thf and Rdm, guessing results could be different as Rdm has more native MaB.

[dasva]

Generally MAB, int then dex. Though in abyssea your fint should be capped (pretty sure aeolian uses fint) so dex and int should in the end be equal there) However 2 mab vs 5int not sure kinda depends on all your stats and atmas and such. Assuming ~300ish int/dex combined and 70ish mab before traits (think that's around what mine has in newer zones) would be pretty close but I'd say MAB ring on thf and about the same on rdm. 7 stat should win in that case though. 4 mab would beat that. Of course theres always the ring from t4 vnm...

Iirc 7 stat rings are actually kinda cheap right now. Cheaper than 6 stat rings lol. Though getting 6 dex ring from quest is pretty easy and can net you seals. Plus you might get that mythical 6 att augment on it.

Well I beat Odin MNK+BRD and took 1 CureIV (Avatar fight) and the only mildly difficult fight is making sure you don't get 8 Gesho's blowing up on you in ToAU35? or the one shortly after where you need to keep the cat lady alive. None are hard but if you don't do them right you'll lose. As far as Alex, he's pretty stupid easy lol.

[TacoTaru]

As long as you have movement speed (which shouldn't be too hard to get nowadays) you can just kite Gessho during the multi-Gessho phase. As far as Naja's BC, just attack whatever one she's on, but I'm pretty sure I just cleaved the whole fight.

[samalis]

So I think I want to work on Vere. What would be the fastest way to accomplish this? I have NIN THF MNK (still skilling up staff). I know cleaving mobs is the way to go for tahrongi but do I need to build certain lights before cleaving or just go straight to cleaving?

[Gustave]

Is crit hit rate dDex floor 5% ? Is this floored when you are not within 50 (maybe 60?) of the targets agi?

[Churchill]

https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/DDEX#dDEX

shorter answer: yes

edit: more correct, it would be 5%ish when pDEX=mAGI but this is also true for values where pDEX<mAGI as well.

This 5% is separate from the 5% you can merit

[Ratatapa]

Could DNC/NIN solo airship BC for COP?

[Landsoul]

Is brewing Glavoid with Farsha viable since Glavoid is Earth based and Cloudsplitter is lightning? Would there be any issues with resistance?

[Nitrous24]

Does anyone who has played around on the test server know wtf this means:

In Abyssea, enemies triggered by colorful demilune abyssite have been relocated.

I'm 3 souls away from finishing my ochain (already have horns) And i'm hoping that doesn't mean i have to find out where they path again....

[Diddy Kong]

Could DNC/NIN solo airship BC for COP?

Yes, but I wouldn't bother with /NIN. I did it /SAM.

[Limlight]

anyone hosting update?

[Buffy]

anyone hosting update?

Pretty please?

[Eddard]

Is anyone else having trouble getting the Siren's tear for level cap quest? I dont have any weapons equipped and dont have the item in my inventory anywhere...
