Certain elements (read: most) of crafting deeply confuse me. What exactly do magic craftsmanship and regular craftsmanship do for me, and which are used for the differect crafting jobs?

**Aozora** · 2012-09-09 17:27

Craft/M.Craft increase your progress gains and chances of success. While you shouldn't completely neglect one or the other, craft is for items with "physical characteristics", and m.craft is for items with "magical characteristics"... whatever that means.

Alternatively, just hover over the stat in the attributes window and read the tooltip. It pretty much says the same thing.

I wonder if we have to make sure we have <100 items in our inventory on Nov 1 since they are reducing inventory from 200 to 100 in ARR.

**Gokulo** · 2012-09-11 11:16

No, all the items "lost" because of the reduced inventory will be re-obtainable from a special chest/NPC/whateva.

**Raldo** · 2012-09-11 11:18

I have a feeling they'll just put everything in that special chest/npc/whateva, and you'll start how all the newbies start with an empty(ish) inventory.

**miokomioko** · 2012-09-11 12:01

I'm hoping we start out naked, kneeling on the ground, with electricity sparking around us and a sphere cut into our surroundings.

**shepardG** · 2012-09-11 12:22

I lol'd

**Gokulo** · 2012-09-11 12:23

double seals from foundation day dont apply to turning in primal weapons?

**Pyree** · 2012-09-13 15:40

There are no double seals this year. But who cares with this new Atomos event, this event is 12~15k seals per 70 min. And you only have to actually play for like 20 min of those 70, then do whatever else you want for the rest.

Since I haven't seen it posted anywhere else here yet, I'll put a quick description in to hopefully preemptively answer some questions on the event for those that don't know yet.

Atomos spawns at 0:00 and 18:00 for camps with an orange aetheryte (killable Atomos):

Camp Brittlebark, Mor Dhona
Camp Revenant's Toll, Mor Dhona
Camp Ever Lakes, Coerthas Central Lowlands
Camp Glory, Coerthas Eastern Lowlands
Camp Bluefog, Northern Thanalan

Atomos spawns at 6:00 and 12:00 for camps with a blue aetheryte (non-killable Atomos):

Dragonhead, Coerthas Central Highlands
Emerald Moss, North Shroud
Crimson Bark, West Shroud
Black Brush, Central Thanalan
Horizon, Western Thanalan

Atomos seems to spawn at every camp at the same time. I have only farmed the orange ones, I don't think the blue ones are worth farming.

When Atomos is killed, a Voidstone will spawn on the ground under his body. Everyone in the area can click on the stone to get rewards. If you don't already have an Over-aspected Cluster in your inventory, then that will be distributed to you first every time. If you already have the cluster, you can click the rock again and get one of the following:

3~5 Over-aspected Crystals
20~40 Anima
30 min run speed buff
90 sec gravity debuff

There is enough time to click on the rock a maximum of 4 times before it will despawn.

If you take the Over-aspected Cluster/Crystals to the GC stand set up in the city you joined, the NPC on the right will let you trade them in, 3k seals for the cluster, and 1k seals for 4 crystals.

Atomos seems to despawn after ~3h20m of game time, which is enough time to kill him twice every window. I don't know if every server is doing the same camps, but on Hyperion last night everyone was doing Bluefog first, then Glory. You can only carry one cluster at a time, so for maximum seals you should port to your city and turn the cluster in after the first camp.

One game day lasts 70 min IRL, and you'll be able to get 4 clusters plus some crystals, netting you 12~15k seals per 70 min.

**Raldo** · 2012-09-13 15:44

Probably closer to ~9k per 70 min, unless your server happens to actually be responsive on your teleport requests. It seriously takes it a full minute to realize I've requested to port out of Glory, and by then the people in the other camps have slaughtered him.

**Ratatapa** · 2012-09-13 15:54

it's 12k per hour

I do 18:00 Glory CheckX4

Run away then tele to grid, give the Cluster then tele to everlake (atomos still alivE)
Kill again check X4, then back to grid to give all crystals + 2nd cluster

Back to Glory wait till 0:00 and repeat

**Pyree** · 2012-09-13 15:59

On my server everyone was always killing Bluefog first, then Glory. So you could get 2 clusters per window, 4 clusters per game day, coming out to the minimum of 12k per 70 min. Even with the massive teleport lag killing him twice per window is easily attainable. Sometimes we've been close to being able to kill him three times.

And in case everyone doesn't know, you can click on the Voidstone multiple times and there's a chance for it to give you 3~5 Over-aspected Crystals, which can also be traded in for seals, 1k seals for 4 crystals.

**Raldo** · 2012-09-13 16:17

Must be nice. I can catch a second kill on occasion, but it's not a regular thing. I haven't seen any server organization on Ridill, so I never know what 2nd (3rd, etc.) camp to port to either.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned, for those that are unaware, there is a way to bind "Target Nearest NPC" to a key (mine is F12 -- might be default for some setups), which can be used to easily cut through the masses so you're not tabbing through people trying to hit the stone.

**Pooke** · 2012-09-13 16:28

Which Immortal Flames weapons are worth getting for someone who is 7/7 Ifrit weapons and no interest in Moogle...and no luck trying Garuda?

**Churchill** · 2012-09-13 17:14

Bow is the only real standout

**shepardG** · 2012-09-13 17:14

all of them are better than ifrits

**Arximiro** · 2012-09-13 20:56

So I just got BLM to 50 recently, but I have a newb question.

What is the conversion ratio of INT to AMP? Is it 2 INT = 1 AMP? Also is that all INT is? AMP in another form. Or does it actually modify damage in other ways? TY

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-09-13 21:25

Is this public content that you can jump into solo then get grouped up or do you need to have a group beforehand? :/
