rancor collar or portus collar for war?

rancor collar or portus collar for war?

1. For what ws?
2. Probably Rancor or elemental gorget depending on said ws

If for tp, I'd personally go with Rancor if not needing accuracy (which you shouldn't) or using that slot for store tp.

[Taint]

Rancor collar has 6acc....

And yes Rancor > Portus

[backstab]

for tp ofc... just curious how much better rancor would be then? portus contributes towards WS frequency aswell, would portus beat rancor in certain situations?

except ofc where the -10dt hurts or if mobs have -crit dmg traits.

just wanna be sure i dont loose all 2 much dmg if i use portus over rancor in situations where i rather not have -10 DT

The general concensus is Portus is for your moogle. If DT is a problem you should be in a DT set or atleast a hybrid DT set, neither of which use Portus. For all other situations use Rancor. DA has diminishing returns and WAR has a lot of it to start with. Most mobs/situations Rancor is just fine to use, in the rest of the situations you'll have fighters roll.

Portus is for monsters with throat stab.

How hard are ZNMs these days? Minimum needed to make PW popset and then to kill it?

[NynJa]

3 boxed with minimal effort, thf mnk whm. I dunno what jobs you got at your disposal

[dasva]

If you really wanted to and wanted to go hard route I think it's 100% soloable. But yeah for easy mode healer, dd, and puller/zoner/add tank

[JustaWAR]

Oh, alright thanks. Seems like it's pretty easy overall

[Kincard]

The most annoying thing about ZNMs is how out of the way some of them, like Nuhn and Experimental Lamia, are.

What about the PW fight itself? I've never fought it in the first place

[NynJa]

I havent fought mine yet, but ive geard a very good group of 6, 12 rag tag is sufficient

Started the upgrade process for Mythic and traded Windslicer to Abquhbah then to Naja to complete An Imperial Heist, I have my books from paparoon. However when I speak to Abquhbah again after zoning he asks if I was able to "find any of the weapons of which we spoke".

Is there any way to check which mythic you are currently locked in to and is there a way to cancel if you wanted to do another?

Load your character's data to the test server and trade him a different weapon. He'll return whatever weapon you were already working on, but this will reset your quest progress so you don't want to do it on the real servers.

Does anyone know how to obtain the stove furnishings from starlight festival this year? I tried looking for goblins outside on chocobos but couldn't find any, so i'm flummoxed on how to obtain them. (pot topper, etc)

SE even shows a picture of them in the POL post...

::Edit:: aaaaand now suddenly as i went to trade in my tokens, i saw another moogle right next to the one i traded cards to that wasn't there before talking about the goblins. guess the event just hadnt started until now, since i've talked to the same moogle a few times trading in tokens and there wasn't a second moogle right next to him before each time.

rancor collar or portus collar for war?

Rancor unless fighting monsters with Critical Defense Bonus. Portus otherwise.

Yes thats obvious but thanks....

I asked the wrong thing tbh, wanted to know how far apart rancor and portus are but nvm.

I put together Provenance Watcher runs just about every night here on Siren from a pool of regulars. I always go with the same setup, using the same strategy, and hardly run into any problems.

PT I: DD x4/BRD/COR
PT II: DD x4/BRD/COR
PT III: BLM x2/RDM/THF/DRG/SCH

I use a mixture of eight WAR/DRK with 90+ Ukon/Rag/Apoc and only take solid DD.

Songs:
If neither BRD have Daurdabla: Marchx1/Minuetx2/Madrigalx1
If one of the two BRD have Daurdable: Marchx1/Minuetx2/Madrigalx2
If both BRD have Daurdabla: Marchx1/Minuetx3/Madrigalx3

Rolls:
Chaos/Miser's/Tactician's/Fighter's

I've heard Tactician's isn't ideal for zerging but am honestly not entirely sure on it.

We buff up, pop temps, then just zerg it down. PW dies fast enough that it's fetters don't make a difference.

3% DA is 3% DA.
