Random Question Thread XXVI: The Rise and Fall of the RQT

Is it possible to cap Subtle blow in Abyssea with just cruor buffs, but no subtle blow job trait except Rajas and Auspice?

Subtle blow and the AGI bonus were found to be separate bonuses if I recall, so no.

Not sure what you mean decreasing TP gain for mob via Agi is separated from Subtle blow.

Thanks, that's all I need to know. So basically for jobs without subtle job trait, still need to gear for it?

Farming a TH sash, how much amber should I aim for?

Coming back, got some questions, for evasion set, what is order of priority eva > eva skill > agi?, and vit is worthwhile now as defense stat? (think i read something a while back about Vit in an update)

[Radec]

1eva ~= 1.1 skill ~= 2 agi, vit largely worthless.

Realistically, make 2 evasion/agi magian weapons (~20eva 10agi each) and use normal DD gear otherwise and you'll be capped on most things.

Cool thanks for the info, working on lvling my nin atm.

1eva ~= 1.1 skill ~= 0.5 agi, vit largely worthless.

wait what? agi is twice as good for evas as evas? did this change sometime or did you just write that wrong?

Yep just bad math, 2agi = 1eva. Fixing

So after coming back to the game just last week for the first time since early-2010, I am leveling up a bunch of jobs to 99. I was wondering if I can get a quick summary of GOOD and cheap/easy-to-get weapons (i.e., not upgraded relic/mythic/empy) for level 99 WAR, THF, MNK, SAM, DRK, DRG, PLD, NIN, and RNG. After outfitting these jobs at 99 with "basic" gear, then I will decide on what empyrean weapon I would like.

For example: I know Kamome is a good and easy-to-get weapon for NIN.

Ugh, Widowmaker is still decent for War right? Dies Irae seems pretty fucking baddass if you won't miss the -30 Acc (you shouldn't on any abyssea content at least).
Aluh Jambiya is good off AH for Thf. Otherwise elemental magian daggers (Fire. Wind can be useful too).
OAT Magian polearm is boss for Drg.

[Plow]

how cheap is cheap? honestly go to the auction house and look, there's some moderate (500k-1m) weapons for pretty much everything that are pretty damn good, and some dirt cheap ones that are still acceptable (i.e. better than lv <90 abyssea stuff) while you work on other shit

and yes Dies Irae is insanely good for being like 25k, it's pretty beast in general

[Jayhawk]

500k-1m is cheap enough, thanks for the few weapons of interest.

[Septimus]

Is an 85 Ukonvasara worth using over a 99 VIT Telamon?

(I am guessing "yes", but want to be sure.)

Yeah I esp. like when people show up with it and don't even have a positive accuracy total in their gear. This great axe is shit, lol.

[Plow]

Pretty sure in abyssea a decent war would sit at 95% if the -30 was the only accuracy on their gear.
