Atheling/Goading/AF3/AF3

AF2+2 hands if you don't need acc/Restraint down, or possibly Ogier's Gauntlets for an xhit.

I'm curious about this as well. I've been thinking about replacing Coercion with Valiant. The haste lets me rework my TP gear a bit, the large stats boost will increase TP and WS damage, and the HP+10% honestly wouldn't go amiss at times. My biggest qualm about it is the 2.6 million cruor required to max it out.

EDIT: 95 Brovura is much closer with than it used to be. Not sure if sets are perfect but it's only a few percent behind 90 assuming 30% ODD and ~10% behind 95 same thing. Adding in temps and it falls further behind (up to ~10% behind 90 and ~17% behind 95); but at that point I'd expect Conqueror to win.

This is using post adjusted crit rate of 20/35/55 for UF.

Just wondering, does anyone know of Gerra's Staff has any cool hidden effects? I got one from Botulus Rex, and all I see is +10 INT and lol add effect: Fire Damage. D:

Can Zhalyom Remnants be done with 3 people not going the pet route on the boss?

**Koyangi** · 2012-01-16 21:19

3 People easily, I did it with MNK, RDM, THF, and THF was only for TH(dualboxxed).

Discoid is 4,400 DMG. If you find two others with capped MDT sets, that's only 733 DMG each. It seems workable.

Any good place to farm royal jelly? Most mobs have really horrible droprate and looking at it to cap my cooking

Migiwari, or mdt sets.

Total snoozefest with Migawari if you don't go the MDT route.

**Prothescar** · 2012-01-16 21:55

Not sure where this is supposed to go, so just going to put it here.

Did some testing on a couple of the VWNM's stats.

Kaggen
99INT
96MND
105CHR

-0% Magic Damage Taken
+50 Magic Defense Bonus

Pil
113INT
98MND
90CHR

-12.5% Magic Damage Taken
+50 Magic Defense Bonus
-50% Water, Earth, Ice, and Darkness Damage Taken

Botulus Rex
137INT
89MND
??CHR

+12.5% Magic Damage Taken*
+40 Magic Defense Bonus
+Elemental resistance based on weather**

* - Not a typo
** - Not entirely proven, mostly a theory. Resistance seemed to increase sharply while it was raining.

From this we may be able to extrapolate, to some degree, the other stats of these NMs. Should also give a decent idea of what stats look like on the others, but will do some more NMs when I get time.

**Aragon of Odin** · 2012-01-16 21:56

Nin would suck to do Salvage with anyways, Cleaving just makes everything go so quickly!

**dasva** · 2012-01-16 22:08

Could put it in the monster/player stat thread

**Mrbeansman** · 2012-01-16 22:19

EA or Schrezo work in place of migawari?

mine:
1.) Do all nightmare mobs in dyna-valk drop rdm head-1?

2.) Where can I get .dat modded dynamis maps? I have previously installed .dat modded maps, but it doesn't seem like dynamis ones were included in that pack

I know about curry however dragon meat sells rediculously fast after being put up or is way above going price. I've been looking on ah for a good week now and am lucky to find a single one within 50% of the going price. Forget stacks. Given how well buns sell I wouldn't be suprised if there wasn't an ah bot or 2 for the few that go up on ah

So again royal jelly

If anyone could spare their time checking with alchemy NPC, I'd greatly appreciate that.

I just checked Alchemy recipes and its not listed, probably smithing as plain bolt heads are usually smithing and additional effect ones are alchemy.

Recipe for adaman bolts from version update notes is synergy rank artisan, WW main/smithing sub: holly lumber, adaman bolt heads.

**Prothescar** · 2012-01-16 22:46

General rule: Unless it's a bullet or poisoned, it is not Alchemy

If you haven't farmed up refresh pin/dark rings you can farm dragon meat from the chests in Kons. I'm slowly grinding my cooking to 97 on Dawn Muslin and sitting on 3+ stacks of dragon meat gotten from Aby. Tell your friends to save it for you as well, if your relatively close it makes a difference.

Also, the bee's that drop white honey? They drop royal jelly, but its a shitty, SHITTY drop rate even with TH7. Not that I care, the money from farmed dawn muslin, horey sheeet.

I'm getting a friend with wood working to make divine sap for me so I can close the gap to 99 since Kitron's litter the AH now from voidwatch. I've got 4 stacks of those, I'm hoping that once I hit 10 I can just power through to 99 and then the last level wont be hell on wheels.

The fire damage does a shitload, like ~300ish.

Question about Orison Pantalon +2 and Praeco Slacks. Should i use cure potency in midcast(spellcast) if i don't cap cure potency?

Orsn. Pantaln. +2
DEF:41 MND+7 Healing magic casting time -12% Converts 5% of "Cure" amount to MP "Divine Benison"+1 Set: Augments elemental resistance spells

Praeco Slacks
DEF:39 MP+20 "Cure" potency +4% "Cure" casting time -3% Enmity-8

FFXIAH say inside abyssea Cure MP return is useless(since so much refresh) so i guess Praeco slacks inside abyssea , orison outside?
