New or Returning Players Discussion 2: SoA Homeless Veterans Edition

[grover]

Since Delve was updated to allow solo, and I think Boss HP was lowered for small groups, would any of the bosses be clearable solo for an Aluvion geared BST or BLU? Any good strategies? Thanks.

[Commskywalker]

Where did you see that Delve was updated to allow solo?

Apparently I made that up...misread old update notes

[Essellys]

Is there a NPC to store old skirmish gears ? they really are clogging up my inventories @.@

EDIT: And old delve gears as well ?

[Mojo]

Leveling THF up for Treasure Hunter and tagging along with people farming stones in Reisenjima might net some newly returning people free Reisenjama gear. The fastest way to get stones is to farm T1, you can get head/hands/legs/feet from T1 and I'm sure it's pretty much going to be dropping to the floor soon given how many stones you need to get good augments.

Yeah, I'd probably suggest skipping Skirmish and going straight to Rei gear if you can find some people nice enough. My luck with Skirmish stuff honestly wasn't too hot.

Anyway, how does this last leg of mission difficulty line relative to mobs in the zone? Geared as I was (some 119 relic, meh Taeon, WKR and Oboro sword), I would say I wasn't doing too hot with my BLU trying to work on RoV objectives.

I was obliterating the place as THF/DNC as long as I had my Trusts all up, but the monsters there will take a pounding. Use a tank Trust, don't be afraid to let off if you're taking too much of a beating so they get agro back. Amchuchu or August can handle it in there.

The Panopts will heal off Light (and Fusion) SCs. Zeid and me did breddy gud though Rudra's/Ground Strike SCs. On the other side, the monsters near the shrine go to pieces from the same Light SCs and tend to shrug off Darkness. Switch up your DDs accordingly.

The Panopts will heal off Light (and Fusion) SCs.

These Panopts actually have two modes, grey eye and red eye. They seem to absorb all magic damage when in grey eye form and take normal magic damage when in red eye form. I'm not certain what the eyes effect has on meleeing, if any.

Does Shneddick Ring stack with Heralds?

Does Shneddick Ring stack with Heralds?

movement speed + from gear never stacks with other movement speed + from gear its just takes the highes present value. In this case you would have +18% movement speed. The ring woudl basicly obsolete your herald's

[arus2001]

Had a gobbiedial spit out a Tumult's Blood, but I can't find what it's used for and there's no sale history on AH. Any hints? D:

[Byrthnoth]

It's a UNM mob that might not be added yet.

[arus2001]

What NPC holds skirmish stones? Not seeing it in any wiki.

Edit: Found it. Divainy-Gamainy in Western Adoulin (J-10)... which is also the augmenting NPC. Derp.

[Fwahm]

It's a UNM mob that might not be added yet.

It's definitely out; you need to have cleared the Unity ToAU HNMs to make it appear in your wanted list.

Ah, I basically stopped doing UNMs after the Jugo Kukri bird (except as required by Escha). Thus, I don't have access!

[Jutubyaa]

Anything worth keeping from these Wildskeeper Reives? Some of the +cure potency items look good as well as some of the melee armor but can't say for sure. And if anyone is looking to cash in a Mog Kupon AW-WK, go to the dealer moogles.

- Port San d’Oria (I-9) - Port Bastok (L-8)
- Port Windurst (F-6) - Chocobo Circuit (H-9)

Thank you for the THF(TH) role tip for Reisinjima. Coming back to round out the last couple expansions and rhapsodies with zero direction. Glad I capped TH before my hiatus.

Back after almost a year break and getting caught back up. I went to see Paparoon, in Nashmau, to refresh my memory on how many alexandrites I had turned in towards a Conqueror before my break and I am getting the options and dialogue from him to start Duties, Tasks, and Deeds, and then I am told to make space in my inventory. This is likely for assault memoires which I already have because I have already started this quest. I did not abandon the quest nor have I completed it. Am I misremembering which NPC to talk to to see my progress?

Pretty sure you can trade Paparoon alexandrite and he'll tell you your progress. (using a SS from ffxiah as source )

Quick question on learning blu spells. I hit 99 now and now am about to go back and catch the spells I do not have. As I zoomed through levels, my skill is low. Is it a matter of having a magic skill level or job level when you can learn certain spells? If the latter, as a follow-up, does increased skill make it easier to learn?
