bleh was hoping to be able to do it myself. Not much help out there these days w/o having to shell out gil

[Hitou]

Just gold box it, there's only 2 KI in that zone. His melee swings have enpetrify so it can be a pain without shadows.

[Cream Soda]

How many lights recommended? Admittedly have never gold farmed or never gave a shit in exp pts either, let other ppl handle the lights.

looks like murex gives 16 amber, so it may take a few kills to build it up

[Hitou]

Probably in the 100 range, it takes very little amber light to start getting big gold boxes in Heroes zones. Especially if you have all 3 gold box Abyssites. The name of which I've forgotten.

Turn on Awful Eye, but you should really bring a 3rd person in case Torment Tusk kills you (NIN to cover the other red procs?). I think about half its moves cause enmity resets or dramatic enmity drops.

I dualbox it all the time. Torment only gunna kill you if you lowish anyways. I've never seen it kill anyone that wasn't weakened myself. And I've only seen Awful Eye and sometimes scutumto effect hate. Though seems to be more like takes you off the list than reset since can get hate back with 1 hit usually. Only thing you gotta be really wary of is if both you and your healer get petrified. Oh and yeah nin works a bit better on it since it can enpetrification and is fairly accurate and double attacks like 100% of the time.

That said if you just going for a certain +2 item probably be easier faster to either join the rush of people making ochains or do another mob. Ironclads are good and easy and need no prior farming. Or maybe something else not sure which one you were after

[Carraway]

I've only killed it a few times myself, always with 2 or 3 people, but yeah, the 3rd person is just backup in case shit goes wrong.

Assuming you want Coins of Wieldance from Azdaja, I agree, you can just kill the Ironclad Executioner in Vunkerl (timed spawn) and Ulhuadshi if you need the other +2s off him and/or the fangs. Ironclad Pulverizer is a little more annoying/time-consuming.

[Kyte]

I would just do the Executioner, as he's easy to solo or duo and doesn't require building a pop set.

[Cream Soda]

Aren't they a bitch to proc though?

[dasva]

Kinda but still probably faster with some th. There are no IC options that are easier too. Find someone making ochain lol. I got like 4 stacks of +2 stuff making mine and I didn't get a lot of them

Does excess blue magic skill increase the chances of learning a spell?

I'm aware that there is a minimum blue magic skill level for learning each spell, but I'm interested in knowing if having an excess of skill helps.

[Kyte]

Aren't they a bitch to proc though?

You don't really need to proc. Ironclads can only drop 1 of each +2 item anyways and they will almost always drop one of the two possible items even without TH.

just came back after a 4 year break. I have been leveling up DNC and im wondering what sub is usually used for Worm / xp Partys.

Ironclads can/will drop +2s without procs. I farmed them for JoWs, took an afternoon and that was being lazy.

It really doesn't matter in an exp party, but /WAR should be best.

Has anyone done testing into Desperate Blows post update to find out how much Haste you get as /DRK?

Which is a better mnk neck piece for Shijin Spiral, Justicar's Torque or elemental gorget? Having just been able to take some merits out of Req and put into SS, trying to build a good set and so far all I've been able to come up with that looks promising is this: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/31...ons/2/#2291053

Justiciar's, if I correctly recall. I have personally never seen a Gorget recommended over that.

I've finally registered Adoulin, but now I am getting some weird error. I had installed it Aldouin already, just not registered, now that I am registered, whenever my character moves, my position is shown in an [x][z][y] format. My chat log is spammed like mad. I've never seen anything like this. Anyone have any ideas? I'd post a screenshot, but I need 10 posts first.
