Yea, the update note was kinda confusing. The note mentioned pet stats and main weapon lvl on one paragraph, and then pet lvl scale up on another paragraph. I was confused about the pet stats and pet lvl.

[Sechs]

From what I understand, beast affinity merits/af2+2 gloves augment increase the level cap of those pets, but not the level itself, and mainhand ilvl does the opposite.

I see, but how does this work for the old pets? For example Nursery Nazuna. For that pet BA merits would still allow the pet to be level 99, right?
So basically this new system is for "after level 99", while under that everything still works like it used to be, correct?

And the axe needs to remain equipped, remove/swap it out and the pets hp/level seems to go back down.

Aw lame... and I bet the opposite doesn't work, i.e. equipping the axe after calling the pet out, right?
This is annoying, now BA is actually useful, I don't know what to get on group 2 anymore, currently I had Feral Howl + Beast Healer.
Altough I use BST basically just for Dynamis... probably could go 1/5 Feral, 4/5 BA, 5/5 BH and still be more than happy.
And fight DC actually because EP would die waaay too fast. They used to be too fast to die for me before-SoA, can't imagine how fast they'd die now with the new gear.

With regards to the 4 new jug pets, their natural caps are slightly above level 100, which means that they'll be capping at 118/119 if you have Kerehcatl + BA 5/5 + Gloves+2, whereas the old jug pets will still be stuck at 114.

So they'd be over 99 even without BA merits, hmm.
Are they good? Expensive?
They mentioned a Delve-jug too but I've only seen the 4 craftable ones.
No THF job I bet?

Yeah, all this BST chatter is related only to levels above level 99. Everything else functions as normal.

Your Beast Affinity merits will apply after you equip your iLvl > 100 axe. I guess you could say your pet is "level-sync"d until then.

3 of the new jug pets are crafted, rabbit/crab/chapuli. The 4th jug, HeraldHenry (the CourierCarrie model) is the plasm jug. And correct, no new THF pet.

[fantasticdan]

Has anyone tested the chapuli jug? Seems like the only one of the new four that has a chance to be any good.

Also if Falk is right and I don't see anything wrong with his testing it will be the highest lvl one I think. Because bst is too good to get all it's pets all the way lvld up with merits + axe when others do get theirs with just the equip... I'm really not sure if it was just SE pissing on bst again and wording the update notes weirdly or a bug... anyone post on OF to see if it is a bug?

[fantasticdan]

Well the plasm crab is higher level from what I've heard, but I assume it's a paladin type...

[dasva]

And it's 2k plasm per use....

Speaking of the chapuli where the hell do you get the ingredients for it?

Couple mythic building questions:

1.) What is the minimum setup now for Gurfurlur the menacing and Medusa?

2.) What is the most efficient way to build nyzul points with a group of 3

Thanks!

1.) I did Gulool and Medusa mnk+whm (2boxed). Never was in any danger. I just did Gurfurlur last night. Since you need 6 people to get there, setup was pld/mnk/mnk/blu/whm/sch. Didn't plan on that setup. Just asked some people to help get there. It was a very easy fight. I would guess a kiter for the adds + a DD and a healer would kill Gurfurlur pretty easily.

2.) I've been doing it as a trio. Mnk/Thf/Whm (mnk+whm 2boxed). I leave the whm at the rune, except on lamp floors. Healing any damage done after porting to the next floor. Lamp order is really the only annoying part. Having to do a 5 lamp order floor with 3, is just annoying. I usually leave with 5-8k tokens, depending on which objectives i get.

Trying to help my group get 1st Tojil win, I have Oatixur access but no MNK 99 yet, very little inventory left and no merit WS for MNK either. Been thinking about getting an Oatixur for easier win.

Should I invite another well geared Rigor MNK? Or is it better to get Oatixur, bandwagon a MNK and use what I already have, and do 1/5 shijin(I don't really want to completely drop other WS) for it?

Or to be more specific, well geared Rigor MNK with usu+1, full WS merit and AF3+2, v.s bandwagon Oatixur MNK using universal light armor DD gear+ 1/5 WS merit, which one has greater chance to get Tojil win, assuming both knows how to DD? I have thaumas manibozo Letalis and majority of light armor DD accuracy gears that's not MNK specific, no AF3+2 nor BB though.

Thanks! For nyzul are you doing V1 and just starting at floor 1 and exiting when you're almost out of time? I'm wondering if I can BST solo Medusa. If for some odd reason you hear of either of them up let me know, from my search it appears they are a bitch to find up.

Oh another one rq, can I begin assaults now, or do I need to finish titles first?

Just invite the other guy. Don't need shijin though, asuran is fine.

Is there a minimum level to get the 700 bayld at the end of a colonization reive? I'm wondering if I could leave a low level job in one in a safe place overnight, and get ~5500 exp.

Need to finish titles

Do Nyzul1 starting at f96, A) F100 is basically a free floor and B) you get points from f1 as if it was 101, should be able to get ~5k/run or so for a 12-13 floor set

[Revati]

Someone on official forums was saying you can select 1 wildskeeper reive drop if you have killed all 5. I checked bgwiki and couldn't find anything. Anyone know if that's true?

[Radec]

Yes, complete this quest: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Order_Up

Afterwards gives option to pick of the shark/trex/bee drops(or bayld or KU), after that an option to pick a bird/tree drop, after that gives 10kbayld and a KI

What's this I hear about ionis giving gear haste? I've heard both 1 and 2%; also are there any requirements to get it, or is it auto?

[Dotsudoku]

Automatic, and it's 1% and some change

[Chocobunnies]

What are the Moist Rolanberry and Ravaged Moko Grass from the login thing for?

Thanks, what is the easiest way to WS for Medusa and Gurfurlur? Sadly, my work schedule doesn't really allow me to camp besieged to check there.

edit: might have figured out medusa; dvucca staging point, run to exit 2, scan from there. Going to try it now.

what's the minimum/maximum respawn times on Abyssea T3 VNMs?
