Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[Athas]

Familiar adjustments
Treasure Hunter effect for Dipper Yuly and Faithful Falcorr will be reduced to level one.

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhy?

[Buffy]

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhy?

Cause fucking BST in dynamis is going to make the rest of us rage like school girls? I rarely agree with nerfs, but this one CAN'T FUCKING HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH.

[SaviorSelf]

Because having BST be useful at anything is OP.

[Nightfyre]

Any BST that isn't rocking full Perle or worse will more than likely go less than a week before they have TH2+ again. Quitcherbitchin.

Can someone give me a current list of MDT and PDT sets for MNK please? Thanks.

PDT

MDT

MDT set is actually ~2% over cap if getting Shellra V with Sheltered Ring enhancement and the bonus from Cleric's Pantaloon's +2 (2% each, 27% base). You'd want 3% more if getting NQ Shellra V, 1% more (meh) if getting Shellra V with Sheltered Ring bonus.

[Limlight]

basic cor merits? Also could anyone link me to their ffxiah or someone they know who has some cor gear sets for qd, wildfire, etc?

[Ricekid]

Can anyone post some sets of Mercy Stroke? Stacked and unstack maybe please thanks!

I just wanted to check and make sure I have the right atma builds for these 6 jobs. Started 2 new characters and the grind will be beginning soon… The only reason I put Sanguine Scythe > Apocalypse for thief is because we will primarily be using it as a tank for our duos/trios.

Are there any specific atma we should look into for monk tanking? I got the impression that RR,GH and AoA are the end all, but I could be wrong.

White Mage:
Minikin Monstrosity, Allure, Undying
Black Mage:
Ultimate, Beyond, Baying Moon
Blue Mage:
Razed ruins, Gnarled horn, Apocalypse
Warrior:
Razed ruins, Sanguine Scythe, Apocalypse
Thief:
Razed ruins, Gnarled horn, Sanguine Scythe
Monk:
Razed ruins, Gnarled horn, Apocalypse

p.p.s I have no clue what the fuck I’m supposed to be doing on BLM, so those could all be wrong for all I know! Thanks for any help / input!

I use MM, Allure, Ambition for WHM (Ambition is ASA Atma, so is annoying to get) My mule uses MM, Allure, Stormbird (Turul, far easier to get).

BLM I use MM, Ultimate, Beyond for the refresh.

I don't do melee.

[Radec]

WHM
Minikin/Barely/Matters
BLM
Minikin/Ultimate/[Beyond, unless you know you need to use one element. Then use the strongest +dmg for that element, eg Gales or Smouldering Skies]
-Hell'sGuardian also works in place of Ultimate if you want more maxMP

Situationally SS could beat apoc for blu. iirc they were about the same for boost cdc but apoc had better dot... but with crit spells too now idk

[Nightfyre]

I'd either go RR/SS/Apoc or RR/SS/GH if you're going BLU/WAR. I've been favoring the latter lately due to GH pushing up Quadrastrike's damage (great with Efflux, may even be worth using under CA depending on target). If you're playing more conservatively (/NIN) or don't have a lot of DA/TA gear available yet, consider the former.

Has anyone seen scoria's going prices? AH shows but a scant number of sellers.

[Falaras]

Do cobalt cells only increase quantity of worthless drops or will they help in obtaining gear drops from voidwatch?

[Byrthnoth]

Do cobalt cells only increase quantity of worthless drops or will they help in obtaining gear drops from voidwatch?

An eternal question. No one has proven it either way (telling the difference between a 1 and a 1.5% drop rate isn't easy), but I am personally of the opinion that they don't matter at all.

[Lyramion]

They replace Body drops with Logs.

Which skill up food do you use for which levels of magic? I've generally heard the consensus for melee skill up food is Saltena <200, elshena 200-300, montegna 300+. But there seems to be no information on the magic skill up food I can find? Basically I have 200~ Elemental magic and need to know what food to pour money into.

There's quite a few on Valefor in Bazaars for 20M, none higher, none lower.

[Jem]

Regarding Armed Gears. Throw a Twilight Scythe at it and see what damage it does. If that still does fail damage then you're probably SOL on the melee route unless you don't mind lengthy fights.

[Byrthnoth]

Twilight scythe hits for normal damage on him.

How would any BST, regardless of how gimp they are, get TH2+? BST/THF is certainly out of the question.
