When BGwiki says sunny, it just means no weather. Morimar can't get fire weather.

[Zadimortis]

I'm aware. It's just always cloudy/snowy there, any time I go.

Also I answered my own question - Magian Spectacles work there. Still can't find any dedicated NPC for it, though.

So I see some guy shouting that melt series of weapons def down stacks with itself... and that he somehow mathed out being able to get -100% def. What is this?

I am going to go with, "He dumb."

Any word on what the Enhances Divine Caress effect does on Mending Cape?

[Squah]

I ran into a friend of mine testing it out in a random ass place in whitegate with paralyna and paralysis potions, he said it adds one more resistance to the effect.

I've seen many talks of a twilight auto-reraise autoexec, but I've not seen the code for it. Is it hush hush code, or just not allowed to be displayed publically?

nothing on this? anyone care to PM me perhaps?

I have a question about the quest Don't Ever Leaf Me. What kind of rod do I need to get the Fishing KI and what kind of bait?

Used Halcyon Rod and Sabiki Rig.
Got the item 1/1 on fishing point near the colo reive next to the Frontier Station, west of it.

Speed Belt is the best option if you desperately need the gil.

For Cleaving for DRK rings and Refresh hairpin, what mobs do I cleave? I'll be going as PLD/RDM since no WHM mule for WAR. What Atamas be best to use as well?

Can't answer this whole q, but Max out amber, I don't think leeches give ruby if the ws you ultimately decide on would ruby.

Cleaving options are pretty lousy in highlands. Leeches link, but are pretty spread out. Tonberry's aggro, but magic casters make them stop too far away. It's pretty lousy.

So what's the best route then for Rings/Pin? Thought Cleaving was the way. I don't have blu btw or curing mule.

Cleaving is the way because of the number of boxes it can generate, I'm just saying the zone sucks.

If I had to go pld/rdm as you are describing, I'd run in, get like 50 pearl and 50 azure and start pulling leeches and using AE. By the time you hit 30 min left, your azure should be over 128 and pearl should be over 100, both from red box, and amber probably capped. You can throw 8 or 16 ruby in there if you want to ensure you get the occasional red box. You should start generating TE at this point and could go indefinitely.

But definitely the worst zone to cleave in of all nine.

edit: after double checking, only the Cryptonberry's are mages, the Tonberrys are thief mobs. Tonberrys might work better for you because leeches do that attack down move, but Tonberrys have everyone's grudge. Gobbues might work too, but they silence.

So if not cleaving, best would just be straight up killing fast as can? Does it matter which zones or mobs? Only reason why I said Cleaving or Highlands is from post I seen in the past I believe from people doing it this way.

I can basically use any job but BLU SMN and RUN.

[JamesRay]

Lizards are close but they don't link or aggro. They are what I did but basically have to switch target or Dia etc each one. I personally don't mind that for how close they are

Well the zone matters cause refresh hairpin and dark rings only comes from highlands. Canyon is augmented MAB rings and cure schaller, and la thiene is TH sash. I don't have ninja, but alot of my friends used to say they could kill straight up on ninja just fine and keep time up. Amber with an elemental skill, ruby with a physical skill, melee for pearl kills and ninjitsu for azure. It your ninja can hit the haste cap, that might be a viable alternative for you.

Both my refresh hairpins came from lizards, this is a good suggestion. Does /rdm get diaga? Lizards can stone you, but normally not a big deal. Lizard camp has some pluses too, martello right there, Pavan can pop in there so easier to amber, T1 abyssite can spawn in there, so easier to build pearl, and a clionid spawns in there for upping your lights faster.

[bruice]

I have NIN as well that's decently geared. Better then PLD. So I might try that. Lizards, that's what I remember reading people did it on.
