Best way to finish Light Day/Weather cure pot elemental type mobs?

We burned through pixies on lightsday and I have 40ish left. My only option is to wait for Light weather in Ru Aun or lightsday, yea?

Temenos ELemental floor wouldn't count because they don't give EXP is what I was told.

Best option seems to be just wait for a new lightsday and finish it off on pixies then.

**Airenn** · 2012-03-21 20:43

Sigh stupid ass trial. Least I got a lot of it done in one lightsday. Had a lot of random people out there doing it and some LS help, so yay. Ah well~ Thanks though.

And you can participate in any VW and get item/atmacite/periapt rewards for them so long as you have a Voidstone. (Although you won't get quest progress on them until you have the proper stratum abyssite.)

Thanks. Yes, easing into it on BRD via city paths (Bastok T1 first) sounds like a great idea - I played BRD a ton at events from 2006-2010, and it's well geared again now. Easiest way to get familiar with how VW works, and get the periapt at the same time.

I never did Sky, but when I was doing this trial, light weather seemed rare/hard to find. Just finish it next lightsday ~

If you don't have much help yagudo avatars in past sara are good. A decent blm can solo them pretty faster than they respawn and there are 3 smns close to each other

Was disgustingly easy for me...just cleaved Grauberg pixies on my war (which is prety shitty), 200 in like 40 min, didnt even bother with pre-building lights. just PEWPEW

Seiryu's/Byakko's?

Kinda' vague, I know, but any insight would be appreciated.

Think shura head is still the best or at least situationally the best ws peice for it's jobs rest of the set looks meh unless you get lucky. seiryu/byakko still really good ws peices or sometimes tp. Zenith head is one of the better nuking heads for blm, gloves one of the better ones for rdm. Various peices can get pet stats that are hard to find. Armada hands can make a nice haste glove alternative maybe feet have pet haste and -call beast timers. Kaiser still looks kinda dumb but idk shield mastery head might be cool. Pretty much all of heca I think has something it's pretty good at. Blood mask can get -qd recast. Valk. Sabatons can get crit rate and crit dmg on them. Alot of the ein ones are kinda incomplete so hard to say how good they can be. Sure I missed something in there

Oh yea, that part was easy. I got about 285 done just on lightsday. Still left 30something to do though with no light weather anywhere. ; ;

I was mostly asking if there was light weather anywhere else that would work instead of waiting on the day. I was told Limbus doesn't work but I was looking for clarification.

**Khajit** · 2012-03-21 22:23

Anyone have a modified .dat for the PH of La Velue? My widescan on mule clearly isnt strong enough and i dont want to kill 10+ tigers at once so be sure i got the right one.

If your NIN was wearing his AF1 Chainmail, it can proc a shock spike and that causes it to level up. A likely time for that to happen is the first swing right after a -ga when your NIN may not have shadows back up.

That said, a hasted BLM should be able to stun every cast.

**Khamsin** · 2012-03-22 09:25

I don't know anything about NIN, but didn't figure any job's AF1 was worth TPing in.

**Neisan** · 2012-03-22 09:27

Af1+1 body is best assuming you aren't hurting for accuracy/near delay capped, then you would probably use Iga+2 iirc.

I use Chainmail, not the +1.

I guess he can cast spells on himself or you, and it is pretty impossible to know whether he is casting on you or himself, unless there are some filters that can do this.

I dual box it NIN + WHM. Stun is almost always up on my WHM but sometimes it is very close and not up. I think he has around 19% gear haste, will look into getting more. He can stun everytime without resists with MM MM Ultimate.

I will just stun every spell from now on.

Whats best Aeolian Edge set for pup?

**Yinnyth** · 2012-03-22 16:06

Is there anything which can prevent geodes from dropping? I spent 40 minutes slaughtering stuff in Valley of Sorrows on thf during wind or double wind weather (on windsday, even) and got precisely 0 geodes. Just epic bad luck?

**noodles355** · 2012-03-22 16:19

Needs to be over Lv90, or DC+, or something like that iirc.

**Darkmagi** · 2012-03-22 16:23

No, that's avatarites.
