Given how many Windbuffet belts are on the AH right now on Ragnarok, I'd say the change was reasonably significant, but I have no first-hand experience yet.

Seems like the typical post-WoE-announcement WoE surge. I doubt it has much/anything to do with the update

Is there really anything for me to TP in other than Portus Collar on RUN? >_>

[Gwynplaine]

Anyone know what the new Mog Tablet rewards are?

Rancor collar when appropriate obviously, other than that there is some 8acc 8atk 5eva AH neck from meebles?

[Tahona]

I got a Vanadium ore from a mog tablet turn in the other day.

Houyi's is useful to complete x-hit builds. RUN/SAM, with my current equipment, needs it to 6-hit with Gram. Coincidentally, it also lets me 7-hit with /DNC even if in this case, just the 1 from Chivalrous would have sufficed.

Anywhere I can read up on low-man einherjar v1 strategies? Looking to do it with 6. Particularly interested in how to approach the different bosses (or is it just zerging t1-3?) and current strategy for Odin (NIN main tank, he should be only on it at 25% intervals w/ migawari, throw everyone else on there in between, have a rdm/nin with powder boots kiting adds, bring brd to dispel spikes?)

Edit: Also, ideal setups. 2xSCH 4xDD for t1-3? etc

Honestly, you can take almost any bunch of 6 decent players and make T1-3 work. You really don't need embrava. WHM is still very useful because of Misery+Esuna spam but we go with the world's most random setups for T1 and 2 and it really doesn't seem to matter. T3 we pay a little more attention, but not much. BRD is nice to have, healer and some DD...

Odin is straightforward too. NIN x 2 is nice for miga spam, THF/RDM for adds but pretty much anyone can cope with them now. As with anything in this game, if you have good players who can think on their feet and are decently equipped you'll have no issues at all.

Considering how hard they nerfed the mobs in WoE and how you can 2box anything but conflux 15 with ease now, I'd say the update likely has something to do with it.

T1 isn't worth doing, just do T2-3 then buy the T1 item for Odin. This is assuming you want to build up ampoules for mythic or something, if you don't you can just rotate T3 and Odin.

T2-3 chambers are a joke to clear with DD BRD WHM(or SCH), extra 3 jobs can be whatever, extra DDs and mages will make it go faster. If you get the T3 chair boss then kill the blms first and have whatever mages you've got try to keep stuff slept (they will keep being woken up).

Odin can easily be handled by BRD(dispel dread spikes) NIN, extra jobs can be TH/mages/DD. Migawari before 75 50 25 and everyone else out of range, adds don't need kiting since they will have floored accuracy against nin. With 6 people you can just eat 10k needles and kill it with better DD jobs, easy both ways.

I always cant remember... 10k is reduced by MDT?

[Fake]

Yes Shell reduces it.

[Atoreis]

Yes Shell reduces it.

Wouldnt Aegis PLD be pretty safe than?

Actually WHM + evasion tank and Sacrosanctity all 3 attacks?

[Fwahm]

Roughly how much AGI do endgame mobs (late VW, Legion, etc) have? Is that known?

[Francisco]

What's the fastest way to get bayld solo, on MNK? Seems those revie battles cannot be done solo, so I'm wondering if any of the quests given by the new guilds are worthwhile.

Mostly looking to get some of the new armor.

You do realize sacro has a long recast right? Not sure if it even works on it though.

Probably best off following the group of people destroying Colonization Reives in Ceizak on your server and just wailing on the Knotted Roots.

Team up with others is best. But otherwise get caught up on all the quest. There are 42 and all give Bayld.

Yes I'm sure Aegis pld would be fine but I've never used one for it.

Sacrosanctity has a retarded recast timer so its not really practical
