Ree's Headgear, but a WSD head will do better. Augmented ACP body w/ mab if you're not using it. The stuff you have you use elsewhere as well I assume, and it's worth keeping for that, but buying more gear for cleaves (aside from massive boosts like martial staff) isn't usually worthwhile. 5000 hp mob dies in 3 hits to both 2000dmg and 2100dmg aoes.

I'd say you've nailed the big ones. YMMV on the others. I've never been a personal fan of the dances, myself, but I've never actually liked closed position either.

Cheers Neisan+Radec for the run-through + links, big help.

If I'm using Raider's Boomerange and swap to Qirmtz Tathlum for WS will I lose TP since they occupy different slots (Boomerang=Range, Tathlum=Ammo)? Someone told me they don't but then if that's the case will I lose TP for swapping out Ziska's Crossbow for the Tathlum?

You lose the tp. Would have taken you 10 seconds to test that yourself, instead of waiting 25 minutes on a reply. >.>

Was at school and I was reading this: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Aftermath

. . .

For example: You are using a Raider's Boomerang to TP in and you switch to Qirmiz Tathlum to weaponskill, if you switch back to Raider's boomerang after the weaponskill the Aftermath effect WILL wear off. Verification Needed

Couldn't figure out why someone would be using Boomerang to TP and Tathlum to WS if TP is reset. I originally thought TP would be reset until I read this and it made me question it.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-03-20 18:05

You don't lose TP if you swap from a ranged to an Ammo. You lose TP when you swap back to ranged. I just wrote that as an example.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-20 18:11

Bah so no way to use them both effectively? :/

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-03-20 18:12

Nope

There are a few Hurricane Wyverns in Gustav tunnel, but most of them are fairly spread out. The repop timer is 5 minutes, so if you can catch earth weather you can go to the room with three Wyverns and do some work on the trial, but earth weather is being finicky when I can do trials.

There's also Ajattara in Grauberg (S). Higher level, will require sigil for decent evasion, but can drop avatar-ites.

Ignidrakes would be best camp imaginable if it weren't for the 16 minute respawn in the zone. There are 5 Ignidrakes and 6 Blazedrakes near the pop for Unstable Cluster, one Upheaval will drop about 50-80% of an Ignidrakes HP because they are so low level, Blazedrakes are significantly harder though. (Blazedrake with signet seem to hit harder than Ajattara without Sigil.) Would probably be able to kill 5 Ignidrakes and 2 Blazedrakes in 5 minutes (respawn of the first Ignidrake) if it weren't for the long-ass dungeon repop time. There are more Ignidrakes elsewhere in the zone (I think close to the Unstable Displacement for Bahamut), but then travel time eats up potential kill time and you need a giant scale to open the path.

One of the slowest trials for me IIRC

I have been trying to get earth weather in Gustav, for some reason duststorms don't exist right now. (I suspect that they will exist again when I turn in my 15th Titanite.) I did try out Abyssea - Konschtat before I made the post, the problem I can see with it is that Balaur likes to roam the area; He isn't that hard with WHM support and a good Shellra, but killing him eats up time and (even worse) doesn't give credit for the trial.

Right now I need about 33 more, I will probably finish up on Ajattara in Grauberg (S). I got 4 Garudites so far on them, not going to spit at those.

I guess it doesn't matter much if you're almost done with the trial, but what about cleaving the blue wyverns in aby uleguerand? I'm pretty sure there's no timed spawn NMs there.

**Azuark** · 2012-03-20 19:27

For some reason i cannot start the Unwavering Resolve quest (Odin Take 2) the gate keeps saying its firmly closed... halp?

**SaviorSelf** · 2012-03-20 20:26

What software do people use to record long fights in HD? (30+ minutes)

Edit: Fo free.

That is a good idea.

Potentially whooshing, but Unwavering Resolve starts at Naja.

Does Monarch Drink have no effect if I have Atmacite of Coercion giving me 3TP/tick regain? About to rage at spending like 2mil in cruor for this.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-03-21 10:40

No, Atmacite of Coersion is an Atmacite effect. Monarch's gives a Regain effect. They stack.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-21 10:43

Edit: Forgot to set it, I'm an idiot -_-

**GeneyusTitan** · 2012-03-21 10:45

What situations are Ogier's legs better than other options?

Consider both augmented heca +1 and not as I'm still working on those.

**Churchill** · 2012-03-21 10:55

Well on my Time Mage/Rapist they are always better

What job did you have in mind

**Midnightjade** · 2012-03-21 11:47

Beginner's guide to Voidwatch? I got back a few months ago and will finish getting WHM, BRD and BST to 99 with decent gearsets this week.

VW looks interesting but all my buddies quit long ago so probably stuck with PUGs.

BG Wiki guide the best to start with? Begin by doing city battles? Worth doing with PUGs, or just skip it since they'll probably suck a lot of the time?

Thanks.
