So I just got my Ukon to 85, and I'm looking for some gear advice. I'm not confident in going to NNI yet, so no Phorcys. Curious also about the Store TP amounts to get a decent hit build going.

I have these options currently (NQ unless specified):

Main: Ukon85, Jingang GS
Sub: Rose, Pole
Ammo: Ravager's Orb
Head: Ravager's +2, Fazhuelo, Mekira
Neck: Rancor, Chiv Chain, Peacock
Ear: Brutal, Ghillie, Fowling, Minuet
Body: Ravager's +2, Fazhuelo, Mekira, Ogier's
Hands: Brego, Rav+2
Ring: Rajas, Hoard, Spiral, Flame
Back: Atheling
Waist: Phos, Thunder, Warwolf, Snow
Legs: Rvg. +2, (probably getting Karieyh tonight)
Feet: Rvg. +2

Not great gear, but working on it. I think NNI is not feasable currently, but I'd definately like to get some Phorsys in there eventually. Otherwise mostly AH or Aby stuff for upgrades at it stands now.

Edited your list

How far behind is the OA2-4 Polearm from the Higher damage OAT Polearm?

Fuckig finally got a Lenitive Abjuration: Head and was looking at the hexed. Considering that i'm not gonna pay 60M for the -1 (and dont wanna server transfer even if i was gonna) Should i just buy the NQ for ~300k or should I just hang on to it and hope SE makes the -1 easier to craft?

[Verby]

Anyone else currently unable to get into the game? Keep getting stuck on the black screen after character select.

If you are patient, you should eventually be able to grab the -1 for the 20-25M range, assuming Serica Cloth stays in the 1-1.5m range each. You just need some clothcrafters to hit 109-110 and the price should come down since at some point it should be t1-able. It might take until 110 though if that goldsmithing sub is 60, it would require 119 cloth and 71 gold to hit t1, which means you need goldsmithing head or body. Alternatively, if they ever put clothcraft torque into the game, it should be t1 at 108 at the latest, maybe 107, again depending on gold sub.

Will that happen before SE obsoletes it? -_-

thanks for the info!

category 1 merits for SAM : 5/5 zanshin or 5/5meditate? Kogarasumaru SAM.

For Voidwatch, if I'm strictly going for Toci's harness, so I need red and blue cells, or just red.

If I get one/it loads, would it take priority over another(like if I were to get it and only got 3 drops, would it be guaranteed in the 3, or if I increased the drops to more than 3, that it now has an additional chance of dropping), or does quantity and quality both affect if I'd have a chance at getting one

[NynJa]

With Cells cheap as they are, theres no harm in using Cobalt and Rubi.

As for your other question, it hasnt really been determined. It always gets moved to top slot, thats all thats known really.

[Modoru]

People assume that the HQ drops are restricted to the first slot, but as they said, the HQ item just gets moved to the first slot so nobody really knows if it works one way or the other. No harm in using both, especially considering how easy it is to get cruor.

	kills	very	yes	maybe	no	very%	yes%
0-300	18	2	2	7	7	11.11%	11.11%
301-400	146	8	39	27	72	5.48%	26.71%
401-500	203	16	62	61	64	7.88%	30.54%
501-549	15	0	0	0	0	0.00%	0.00%
550	312	21	117	46	128	6.73%	37.50%
total	694	47	220	141	271

For what its worth, the 2 very rares I got with <300 blue was:
Vanasarvik 245 535 very 2 Sekiona Beret
Isaruktisck 277 550 very 3 Arctien Gauntlets

and I classify very rare as "anything below 5% drop rate on ffxidb more or less", though some of those drop rates may have changed since I marked those drops.


Either way, like I said, theres no harm.

does martial master apply to automaton skilling?

Can BST solo Fistule? I need its discharges.

[Jem]

My wife soloed it on BST before so yeah. I think she started going DNC after a while though, I guess for faster killspeed.

This was pre-update so not sure if enmity changes would make it harder now.

category 1 merits for SAM : 5/5 zanshin or 5/5meditate? Kogarasumaru SAM.

Meditate, gives larger margin for error on maintaining AM3 and zanshin is devalued by the already huge rate of over tp and the fact zanshin can't proc on DA/TA rounds.

I'm having this problem too... Can't get on main, but can get on mule.

[galka]

What jobs would Wrathwing Nails be good for now? considering high level gear for endgame content.

[Kidnoftle]

They're best tp feet for run afaik? Besides that still good for drk tp

[grevenilvec75]

Ok since my server is gonna unloack traditional bodies/helms tomorrow, I need to know if any of them are worth buying for Exenterator DNC or Upheaval/Ruinator WAR (have Phorcys).

I'm thinking just buy Thurandaut Body for DNC and ignore the rest of it (I have Athos Body though if that matters).
