He asked about Neo Nyzul Isle, just to be clear.

I don't know, but I wouldn't bet on it as the progress isn't recorded on your runic disc.

Ooops! Never noticed the "neo" there. My bad.

[Eldelphia]

Actually it does say something about recording your progress on your runic disk when you do NNI. I'd be surprised if it interacted in anyway with the weapon unlocking but stranger things have happened. You can't get the weapons in NNI though so I'd assume it was an entirely different event. You can check which floor you've recorded with the mission NPC no?

I might be able check this on my mule as he has level 5 progress recorded on his his original NI missions. I took him along for a NNI mission but I'm not sure whether we failed it or exited ( he was a bit of a gimp sch). Saying that, even if he exited on floor 70 something that's a fair amount of WS points to do for science

IIRC s/e explained that the reason it says it recorded your progress in NNI is a result of copying and pasting original nyzul over to NNI and that it has no effect on progress in both events.

Looking at doing relic ranger pants augment. Sans Kraken Club, assuming Ridill/haste gear would be next best option? I have a whm mule available that can keep me alive. Any suggestions on best approach would be great, thanks!

Well I'd do on of those shouts for doing zone that I see often. But as far as melee tp setup I think mkris would be faster tp. When I was doing anni trials I'd use that random haste and store tp gear. Well and some DA gear. Works decent especially if you have a good last stand set

Any easy ekillup recipe for Synergy 70+? 55 Atm, figure Platinum nugget will take me to 70 but idk what after that. Only crafting skills are 64 bonescraft.

You're pretty much screwed past 70 if you don't have a high level craft or know someone who does and is willing to afk in the zone in a pt with you. Bone is pretty cheap to get to veteran compared to other crafts so it's not too bad if you want to go that route.

How do I go about dual-boxing Tunga (NIN+WHM)? I read to stay in-range for Slowga and out-of-range for Breakga, but I haven't read much more than that. What's the AoE distance for those two, and anything else to make this any less of a pain in my ass? I'd really rather not amber farm it if I can help it.

No idea why you would stay in range of slowga. I'd just keep the whm at max cast distance from either the nin or tunga whichever is closer (since you will need to cast on both) and healing and erase stona etc like normal. Main difference is right before it would chainspell stun it and take below its chainspell hps before stun wears off. I assume you are trying for KI so it might be useful to have some form of regain so you can back tank it while getting tp to search for the right weaponskill then murder it while procced

What constitutes "pretty cheap" x.x?

[bluecresent88]

Do the Crystaline Prophecy missions have level restrictions?

[Buffy]

All missions-related level restrictions have been removed.

Possible exception for 5-1, just can't remember.

[Cairthenn]

That's not entirely true. All mission burning circle caps and zone-wide level caps have been removed.

The restrictions such as Lv.30 Delkfutt climb (ACP) and Lv.1 Zvahl run (MKD) are still in place.

[cdgreg]

What is the average drop rate of Savory when popping with beastly.

edit: answered my own question: http://ffxidb.com/items/3342

I started to like doing Staff Trials XD and i love the fastcast. ( i have Cure/Thunder/Ice so far )

Does anyone here use Light Magic Casting time-14% Tom Staves for fastcast on Cure/Curaga/Raise?

It would work right? Does it worth it?

I also thinking doing -13% MDB, This would be better then +20 Magic evasion ? right

[Mrp]

Double post , i lagged... Firefox always bug since new version.

Since i'm here

Any other staff trial that worth doing?
Smn perp? baa
Pet magic attack bonus maybe
Magic ACC ? I dont think so

RR Apoc Earth Wyrm on Nin, Earth wyrm Apoc MM on whm, keep barstonra/barpetra up with a half decent enhancing magic set/skill. I just had whm stand within barspell range of nin because getting barstonra back up instantly if it gets dispelled should be a priority. With that much earth resist break/slow will barely ever land, if they do it will almost certainly be at reduced duration and the chance of getting unlucky (both chars hit with full duration break) is extremely low.

I never lost a single tunga in 100 scales worth doing it this way. This was at 90 cap and losing sanguine scythe/gnarled horn doesn't really affect your ability to kill itza without changing atmas around.

Slowga is permanent hate reset while the slow is on, but ofcourse sacrifice will take care of that.

Lsmates and I are working light macc/recast staff right now for raise, arise, erase, sacrifice, cursna, etc. I would not use it for cure since I can't give up the 24% cure pot in that slot...

edit: I also have a Tuahjebat (MDB+13) staff that lives in my storage!

Can always swap out midcast now that they have different names

That's an interesting thought....start in recast arka and end in cure pot arka. Would I need some type of delay for that?
