They're additive

BLU nuking set is a bit more serviceable now (~2100 subductions on mandys outside Adoulin), so wondering some good spots to JP grind. Tried Biovac 2 in Marjami with the frogs/pugils, but I've had some issues with losing aggro kiting things along plus sometimes I've had other people show up. Don't have movement speed gear, so the size of pulls is also somewhat more limiting when it comes to kiting/taking hits.

i love farming but looks like they nerfed those lumber that dropped from the gobbue in bohoyda tree. i know dynamis and eminence are still good but any other solo farming thats really good these days?

[arus2001]

I'd say unless it's tied to upgrading AF/Relic/Empy, your basic farmable is pretty dead on the market. So, yeah, there's RME currency, HP Bayld, and I suppose converting sparks to NPCables. Think I read full stock translates to about 1m gil. Best time to farm sparks being the EXP events, but those aren't frequent enough to probably be called reliable if you really need gil right this moment. Sucks, but that's kind of the reality when the best gear is both mob dropped and subject to their RNG augment systems.

What's the shield order for PLD these days? Is Priwen top of the list for the +shield skill/actual i119?

magic, derr aegis
physical, priwen > ochain IF you can full time reprisal. it's doable, but mobs like to dispel all your buffs so... yeah.
the new aeonic shield, rumor has it there's a magical set that makes it much better than both ochain AND priwen, due to achieving similar block rates but blocking a lot more damage per block.

sounds about right. guess i'll keep doing dynamis currency. i hate that they always nerf the stuff that you can npc like the wistoria lumber

[Fwahm]

Farming Alexandrite is also an option for gil.

Cool. Thank you.

Never got an appropriate shield for my pld. Was wondering what was still viable/quick.

Also keep in mind that with one of the RoV KIs, the VNM KI upgrades in Abyssea are 100%. Really doesn't take very long to build a 90 OChain.

Note though that that magical set basically requires a bunch of +block rate from reisin gear using dark matter.... so it is truly magical but in theory you could get 100% block rate with 100% dmg blocked

I forgot to add the flair.

Just made a new character on the Odin server. halp!!! Character is Nayamin

[nayaminfenrir]

Also, should "windower4" be the windower I should be using?

[chazzyphizzle]

yes. and if you find an ok shell let me know, just came back a monthish ago, beniciodeltoro

[Raelia]

As an extremely lazy bastard with RoV completely done, what should I be farming for gil?

I know i have infinite dyna access, but 300k hundos isn't getting me very far...

[Anoat]

Doing the high tier battlefields for REM materials, doing WKR for HP Bayld. Reisenjima stones sell pretty well too.

[arus2001]

Bayld probably isn't much better than Dynamis and is further dependent on how many people are zerging at the time. People on the low-end of 119 probably won't be able to get the other 2 with reliability, either. Sucks, but real progression pretty much requires convincing people to drag you along to good stuff.

[Keibler]

Heya. Been gone for 7-8 years and decided to come back with a friend. Game feels almost like an entirely new beast; loving it all over agian. Anything I should be aware of as a monk?

[Psion]

only your crushing inferiority. ;x
