What's the easiest way to skill up my pup's ranged skill? Spaming in a worm party is mediocre... iassume terminus/prousesse rings and food don't affect it? only percolator? any non aggresive skill up targets?

Can your PUP's automaton survive normal Adoulin mobs indefinitely? Those are T at minimum to 99 and Ionis confers skill-up rate bonuses (I imagine they carry over to the automaton but I could be wrong). Otherwise, I received some advice earlier in this thread about Uleguerand worms (Ectozoons @ conflux #5) and those are great up until 350, at which point it starts slowing down, but you could still ride them further.

Finally went back and got Twilight mail, What do rules look like for it? For locking the set when say weakend and low HP?

Are WHMs really that inferior to SCHs in delve plasm farms? Every shout has people looking for sch but not WHM, even if it takes them 20+ mins to fill. Feels like there's no difference between a sch whm and hell even a rdm.

People are just weird. Really prefer any job /mage that I know cures and does haste over random shout schs and whms after what I've been seeing lol. Rather have whm for the plds holding nms though. Cure skin is nice

Have a question to which the answer seems rather obvious for me unless there is something i might be missing...

All over ffxiah people allways post ideal TP/WS sets and almost allways the WS sets tend to not even have 1/4 of the acc the TP sets have, esp now with delve. Isnt that pretty much pointless esp for WS that are more then one hit(since those are supposed to get a big acc boost, even tho acc of the following hits from a multiattack on that WS would have uncaped acc?)

What's the best place to cleave for EXP? Does a smaller and dense camp like Raptors in Abby Mis beat Detectors + Dominion Ops in Altepa?

[noodles355]

Just the paths. No bosses required.

Wait, not even Goldwing/Surtr etc?

A lot of TP gear has excessive accuracy on it for most things. If people are smart, they'll list the highest damage potential along with accuracy options. You can mix-and-match as you need to meet the accuracy requirements of the given scenario.

With the Sploog Bow what's some good melee weapons for Rng? I've been using my Crit5% Yata's for years and since I'm not using Jishnu's for the time being I need new weapons but can't think of anything.

Last I checked, should be the case. Bosses don't have multiple goals, and they aren't even shown on the goal-3 completion list from the NPC, since they only have the one goal.

One of the groups I roll with likes one SCH per party, and one WHM (partnered with a SCH) for keeping the PLD alive who is holding NMs. Just preference from what I've seen. Cureskin vs. Regen5+otherbuffs.

Do you have any of the NPCs other quests open? he has like 4-5. Also, any other WSNM quests open?

Thanks for the reply! So I did have another WSNM quest open for my GA, which I also don't have... Iron Eater just says something about the office and go away. So I find myself in the same position. If you don't have the axe are you just screwed?

*Just realized I'm on Waking the Colossus, thanks for you quest checking insight!

Any insight on what level you can solo/duo it?

Yes but i assume there is really nothing i am missing right? 1 hit WS have an acc boost and certain WS depending on TP%. So should allways keep the same amount of dex/acc in a WS set that also caps acc in the TP set.

Which Kariyah/Orvail/Thurandaut has NOT been outdated and is worth getting?

What is the most efficient method for doing achucka at 25 percent colonization rate? Cor, blm?

only thing whm have is cure V which are only really good for mega bosses fights... cure IV is sufficient otherwise, esp on mobs or NMs where melee will obviously have no hate issues

not to mention 7 min haste.... aoe erase if needed, 5 min potent regen

Most 99's that are good at soloing (BST, PUP, BLU, etc.), or Melee & WHM duo at 99. Should be able to talk to him multiple times to get him to process the GA quest dialogue, sometime that works. If you dropped it you can talk to him to get another or just cancel it.

For windower macros, do I need to include a wait in between my /console exec asdf.txt line and /ws "asdf" line <t>?
