That's in abyssea onry... and might be different if you aint Hi ing... anyways idk mainhand crafted offhand delve?

If you're talking about Pamun then I was thinking about something realistic Dasva

Enju is ok but I don't want to spend that much D: My DA Majimun is probably worthless as offhand, I was kinda thinking about Nakajimarai. Cheap, easy to craft and gives me some acc, which I need a lot in my current TP set, especially if I want to use Yonin.
Altough you could argue once I get Kiji I probably won't need more for the kind of stuff I use NIN on.



As for Sushi, Crab Sushi has a cap if I recall? Other less used Sushis do have a cap too. I always wondered about other sushis like Sole and Squid back in the lv75 era but never found 100% definitive answers, sounds strange that they don't have a cap, like... almost everything has a cap in this game? I just always assumed it has a very very high cap, but I'm sure there has to be one.

What pieces of AF3 do I need for MNK? Do I really need to go and get Black Belt too? :\

IIRC optimal MNK TP set doesn't even use BB, it uses Windbuffet. Usu+1/Thaumas/Tenryu(or Nom)/Tantra+2/Usu+1?

To answer your question: Tantra +2 body is necessary if you are using crit WS because it applies retroactively, Head +2 is a decent piece but you'll live without it. Get the legs 110%, they are incredible. Feet are damned good too, dune boots +6 with a cherry on top.

[NotGreyheim]

edit: resolved

[Kidnoftle]

At this point for mnk af3 you could probably just settle for legs and be fine. As to blackbelt, I would highly recommend getting it regardless of the fact that is isn't used in high end tp sets because it is just a retardedly op pdt set piece.

Get the 17.5k plasm for Manibozho legs and don't bother with any mnk af3

My friend is trying to turn in 5 cells to make mura. But it wont let him. Does he need to be able to pop Uptala for this to work? or just have the kill/title?

To get title don't you have to be able to pop him?

But yeah you need access to the mob.

Ok thanks, hes gonna be so pissed lol

I thought that the fees for FFXI used to be basic service+1 character = basic price. Extra characters = $1 each per month. Did this change when they switched to the new system? I'm getting charged for all my characters my main included.

[Kidnoftle]

After talking about it in shell for a bit we decided that you could probably skip all of the af3 from mnk at this point if you so desired. The new mani pants are a better tp piece.

Any testing on how much AGI SoA/Delve/Fracture mobs have? With the upgrade paths being acc/att/dex and /att/acc/str and many gears having +dex and such, I'd like to know which path is best for me as a mithra thf full dex merits. I'd rather have +10 str than +10 dex if it's fSTR+attack vs +5acc.

you have to turn off the characters you dont want to be billed for. its in the sqenix account thingy.

You misunderstood; he's saying he thought one character was included as part of the base price.

Gwyn: My memory is hazy but I don't think a character was ever included as part of the base price; I remember that being something people complained about, actually, as it was confusing that you could be paying the base sub fee and not actually have an active character.

He actually said that he's getting billed for all of his characters. I dont think i'm the one that misunderstood.

Hmm maybe I'm totally derping and misremembering then.

Edit: No I was right. On the old system they used to include 1 free character with the basic service and extras were a buck, but apparently they changed it with the new system so all chars are $1.

[Aumaan_Kujata]

I think they lowered the "base" price by a buck at the same time? So it's just a change in accounting, not a change in price.

[nekura]

Assuming the price here is correct, then yeah you're right. I found my old Xbox 360 manual, which states that a single content ID costs $12.95.

After debating back and forth how I want to proceed in this expansion considering the ability to share gear between jobs, job usefulness outside of abyssea, cost/time investment for multiple jobs...I've come to the following conclusion:

Main DPS Job: MNK
Secondary DPS+Utility: BLU
Mage: ???
Healer: Mule WHM

Getting jobs to 99 is easy. Getting jobs to 99 and usable in any content outside of abyssea is not. I'm done trying to play everything that looks fun. It's smarter for me, with my playstyle, to just pick a few jobs and hone them as much as possible.

With this in consideration, I'm wondering what my mage job should be? Which mage job(s) are seeing the most promise for usefulness and demand for SoA content?

I've decided that while NNI/Salv2 gear is ideal for doing delve content, there is workable gear without said pieces allowing the possibility for plasm farm. T1-3 NMs in Delve are doable with my current gearsets on said jobs. As such I'd like to focus most of my time to Delve and possibly Skirmish/Naakual if need be.

Clearly I will need to farm abyssea/voidwatch a bit more if I level up a mage job, but depending on the job it may not be so harsh. So again I ask, which mage job(s) are seeing the most promise for usefulness and demand for SoA content? And ideally, which will require the least amount of NNI/Salv2 gear to be useful in SoA?

Is there a way to fix spellcast preventing self-skillchains on blu from registering in the chat log?

[Cream Soda]

Justicar still have any use with Asperity around?
