About five days out from reaching Rose Strap in Campaign, and was wondering if there are any other items that are useful in the current state of the game? Outside of Campaign, anyways.

Where does Fulad-Zereh fit in for the hierarchy of war bodies?

there may be a better ammo for actual dnc, but I'm fairly certain for doing stuff with dnc sub there's nothing for any other job that beats the 2% potency ammo for waltzes... assuming you're not on a job that uses a boomerang or whatever

Can someone point me to a good informational area for SAM? I started back last month, and have finished my 85 Masamune today, however I mostly geared my THF as it was just better for basically duoing everything with a WHM, and the TH was very nice considering doing most things without procs.

For my SAM I basically have 4/5 +1 and +2 pants (which I'm mostly TPing in atm)and not very good WS pieces atm. I'm not sure how I should be gearing in regards to store TP in what slots and so on. I'm basically going to be working on SAM gear from here forward, and would like to know a direction in which to go.

I could still use help with this if possible, I also just got my +2 body, so, yay and what not.

Also, another question, is there any reason to hold onto beastmen's seals really? I have a friend that really wants a ridil and considering turning them into kindred's seals for Fafnir pops, but not sure if beastmen's seals are really worth keeping these days or anything. I'd assume not because it seems like there isn't much of a real market for lowbie items these days, but I'm not really sure what all you can get from the BCNMs that the beast seals are used for.

Go check the usual BCNM40s ... utusumi ni, phalanx, absorb str are worth a bomb.

So 40 seals can get you a shot at a mil or 2. I see honey wine for sale all the time for 1.3~1.6mil

yeah if it's for ridill just buy pops, only reason to convert to KS is black belt items


aside from just the scroll drops and stuff, converting to ks would take 300 seals which is 5 shots at a kclub...

Iron Ram Hose can still be used (assuming MDT is capped by other slots + Shell) if you have the space to carry them around.

Where does Fulad-Zereh fit in for the hierarchy of war bodies?

It's 1st, 2nd or 3rd best depending on context (how much Store TP you need, how much accuracy you need, how much the DEX is helping your crit rate, etc). If you need acc, probably worse than Armada since you can't swap to Mars's Ring or Ambuscade. If you don't need acc, probably worse than Valk unless dex is a big factor. Armada's still best in more cases than the others (valk being the absolute best in the right context), but keep in mind that the spreadsheet's mob AGI guesstimates play a significant role in determining which piece comes out ahead out of these three. Edit: Regain also shakes things up.

Anyone know how marduk's Tiara +1 works on regen yet?

[Bikpik]

Can Sch AF1 quests be redone?

[Sechs]

Anyone know how marduk's Tiara +1 works on regen yet?

From the other thread:

marduk's tiara +1 gives an additional 1 HP/tic for Regen 1 and 2, 2 HP/tic for Regen 3, and 3 HP/tic for Regen 4. updating wiki.

Sounds like a Savant's Bonnet +2 that other jobs can use as well.

Where does Fulad-Zereh fit in for the hierarchy of war bodies?

perfect augmented valkyries Breastplate > perfect augmented Armada hauberk > Fulad

mash in Ares body +1 in between fulad and armada hauberk if you use other ares +1 pieces (head, legs, hands). Thats for TPing.

As for WS: situational what WS you are useing.

Not sure how it is nowadays, but just bring mnk(s) and meds and should be fine.

Not even, I think Savant's +2 is 1/2/3/4/5 on Regen 1/2/3/4/5. This one is just 1/1/2/3 on Regen 1/2/3/4 (N/A on Regen V since no SCH).

Just came back, what are the cool people using to parse these days? I installed k-parse but I assume the memloc is comically out of date.

[Obsidian]

Kparser automatically updates its memlock as far as I'm aware.

[cassiraa]

It doesn't seem to be for me, I got it from http://code.google.com/p/kparser/

ok, I got it fixed up
