Random Question Thread XXIII: Neun und Neunzig Luft RQs

Does "Augments Jump" on Ryunohige have any additional effect on Spirit and Soul Jump? IIRC, the augment was to make jumps do critical damage, but that's what the new jumps do naturally with your wyvern present.

Asking for a friend, as I know nothing about melee. Would a shadow gorget work for Blade: Yu?

No, soil/aqua.

On what weaponskills are elemental gorgets and belts best in slot for thf? For the WS where they are not best in slot, what trumps them and how/why?

This http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/wiki/In_the_Name_of_Science covers most of em. It's just that Yu is new >.> We got aqua but weren't sure on second. Thanks Radec ^^

FCed smn up to 95, what's the fastest way to skill up smn skill?

When treasure casket hunting for the new items does it matter what lvl the mobs are or do they just have to be EP+?

[Koyangi]

Any level, doesn't matter. I got 2 Prouesse Ring's from Ding Bats in Z Mines.

I don't mean what gorget works with what. I'm asking when should I be using another neckpiece or belt over the elemental gorget/belt. I am currently using a shifting necklace and a chiner's belt.

How well does whm/blm stun Glavoid, would I have to worry about resists if my only melee is a Nin/war (Kannagi 90 and stuff).

[Nightfyre]

Should be fine.

[Xantavia]

my own question. While the exp here has been pretty nice for lvling my new account, Bostaunieux Oubliette, are there any other areas that are comparable? I'm getting a little sick of leeches <_<.

basically Looking for a nice GoV area with a page around the same (bost caps at a little over 4k per page, 9 mobs per page) leeches are plentiful and spawn on a nice little circuit to run around on. I DO NOT wanna deal with lvl 95-100 mobs and their bullshit. Basically I'd like to find someplace that I can rage around on against EP mobs. Thanks.

edit: second question because I didn't see the answer on wiki (or I missed it)

What lvl can I start doing GoV pages, say in bostaunieux oubliette, and leeching. Can I take a lvl 1 job and page lock myself? Or do I have to be a minimun lvl 10 or higher or whatever?

I've been doing page 5 in Labyrinth of O. lately. caps at 2700 a page, but only 5 mobs (4 toroma, 1 manticore). Only stumbling block is when Narashima(?) pops and throws off my pages. Sick of killing that bastard for his shitty hide. (HQ coeurl hides sell for more on AH than his crap)

[Rehn]

I did a page in maze of shakhrami with 3x triple bat + 3x leech. Very, very easy, since both group of mobs are practically right next to each other. Triple bats don't link, but leeches do.

Trying to do the new limit break quest and I'm supposed to get a Siren's Tear. Otherwiki says you have to do it without main or sub weapon equipped, but I've done it like 4 times naked and I keep getting "The shining object slips through your fingers and is washed down the stream." Checked inventory, mog safe, storage, mog locker, mog satchel, mog sack and I don't already have the item...is there something I'm missing here?

Edit @ above: Ranged weapon, make sure top row is empty.

Given that Relic -1 drops like candy now, what pieces are worth anything?

So far I can see +1 ing RDM hat and THF hands for giggles, and I have MNK and NIN hands from back in the day. Looking at all the sets in general though almost all of the peices seem like side grades to the NQ versions, with few exceptions. Is it all junk or are there any situational pieces I'm over looking that haven't been eclipsed by abyssea armor.

I'm upgrading DNC AF2 feet (more Acc for steps) and already did Body (more Acc for Violent Flourish). I'll also upgrade DNC head and already upgraded DNC legs, but I might ignore DNC hands on principle. In the past, the main justification for most Relic +1 was so you could re-get the NQ relic and store the set. Not an issue anymore.

Spoiler: show

Just double checked inventories again...any other ideas?

[Apelila]

get someone else to get it and trade it to you? its not ex, i'm lost why thats not working

[Royal]

Came back after not playing for a couple years. Thinking about getting some of the AF gear from coffers but I'm not looking to do some of the quests. Can i just get a coffer key and unlock the chest on the job to get the piece? or do i have to do the quests before I can do this?

[Apelila]

Have to do the AF2 or start the AF2 quest. If you dont finish the AF2 quest, you can't start the AF2 quest on another job.

Example: You have started lolBLM feet, you cannot get the nice PLD feet until you complete lolBLM feet.
You can however pop all BLM related coffers.
Offer not valid in Aht Urgan or the crystal war.
