Pretty simple, stand at 30 yalms and reward as necessary, might want to bring some TH though

I'd suggest to bring a handful of muslums for each fight. If he gets spammy with scissors there is chance that you could lose your blue pop that took 30+ kills to get

Not saying you couldn't kite it while your timers were down, there just is no point to risking the pop for 30 or 40k.

Thinking about taking up SMN to bolster up my job roster.

Any quirky gear sets needed apart from Idle, Summoning Skill and Pet MAB? Or is that all?

[Radec]

-15 BP Delay set for starting pacts
1188 MP set for PD until it gets nerfed
Techincally, 2 idle sets, one with -perp for when pet is out, one with just refresh for no-pet, but the perp one likely more important.

[LidenbokValour]

Appreciate the swift response, thanks.

I'm looking for a race changer similar to plastic surgeon but works on other characters. What I want it for is I have a Hume M for my main character, but I use plastic surgeon on it to change it to a mithra, but when I play on my mule when I look at my main, it's a Hume M. I want to be able to change that specific Hume M to be a mithra. Is there a plugin or program that can do this? Or would I need to change all Hume M to mithra?

I can ask this in the .dat mod thread if that would be a better section to ask in.

Do smns not have mixed perp and skill sets for favor?

[Byrthnoth]

I do, you want 512 skill while capping -Perp and maximizing +Refresh

Is there something weird about Black Triple Stars spawn mechanics aside from the only spawning at night thing? I did the regular .dat mod swap of renaming the first mob in the group before the NM, but it (the PH, that is) isn't popping consistantly. I popped my first two BTS relatively fine, but now after like the 2nd or 3rd kill of the night the PH will just never respawn, but the NM isn't up unless it's roaming ridiculously far outside of the marked range. I started killing all the bats not only on that floor, but on the floor above and below just to make sure the NM or PH wasn't hiding out somewhere, but once it "disappears" for the night I've never gotten it to come back.

Also, I think this is just mappy screwing up, but there are 2 corpses for BTS showing up, but there's only 1 in the dat files?

I have absolutely no experience with mappy or Black Triple Stars, but there are two Black Triple Stars in the DATs. (0106E0C4 and 0106E0D8 if that helps you)

Huh, don't know how I missed that the first time around. Hopefully it's just a "one PH or the other is up at a time" thing a la megalobugard, which would tidily explain the missing PH. Modded the other PH and will check again once it's nighttime. Thanks.

Edit: Yep, that seems to be the case, only one PH can be up at a time. However, as far as I can tell from my ~12 game nights being out here so far, the first PH will always be the one that spawns at the beginning of the nighttime.

So I've finally decided to lvl up my mule, but since he has no abyssea access (only up to roz&toua), I need gear suggestions for whm and brd....

Honestly, just get Abyssea. Those are 2 jobs which really don't gain that much from salvage2/neo-nyzul gear, aside from a few idle pieces. You're missing out on -17% cast time (22 if you don't want to do Meebles for the arms), +1 to important songs, stat bonus on songs, and increased duration on BRD, as well as simple storeable m.acc/skill gear, though that can be replaced; WHM is missing out on a ton of CP, at least 1 tick of refresh (serpentes), bonus cureskin, and cure mp refund.

Granted, if you just want them strictly as a buffbot or curebot, most of that stuff doesn't matter as much, so you can just wear whatever the hell you want.

Edit: Not to mention Abyssea is a good place to do your staff trials. Killing elementals anywhere else sucks.

[dasva]

Pet elementals isn't so bad. At least if you going solo not so good if you got help.

What on earth does Bugle Call do?

[Kaisha]

Sagheera still need a conquest tally for AF2+1, or am I good to hand in before JP midnight? Can't remember if they actually fixed that BS or not.

[EDIT] Nvm, got my answer from the BGWiki. Not sure why I didn't look there first.

I see enhancing gear discussed for whm every now and then, what primary spells is whm needing to cast nowadays that require high enhancing magic skill, and how worth it would it be for me to take the time to make an enhancing gear swap for my whm alt?

[Buffy]

Boost-STR is the biggest one.

Boost-STR is the biggest one.

what kind of difference are we talking her ein terms of an increase? like 10 str for gear or like a whopping 1 more str for all my efforts?

[TheDirtyHobo]

1 stat per 10 skill

The cap is +25 from boost-whatever. I don't know what you're getting now, but you can decide if its worth it. +25 is at 500 skill.
