Never bothered. THF is your best bet for drops, although one of our best pools came when I was on RNG/THF.

Isn't rng/thf redundant?lol Bounty shot with +2 hands gives TH2, and TH sash stacks with afaik.

[Plow]

flee/hide?

[TacoTaru]

Do Unkai Kabuto +2 and Unkai Kote +2 need to stay equipped during Seigan and WS respectively for their bonuses to remain in effect?

Can a WHM/BLM with macc atmas and a chatoyant staff stun apademak at a reliable rate?

It should work, I've done Apademak with WHM/BLM as main stunner for many times.

[Kidnoftle]

No reason really to stun @ 99; you'll interrupt a majority of casts and the thing basically topples over. I just whm/sch thf/dnc nin/war and use terrain diff.

[NynJa]

The above sounds like troll advice..."majority of casts" lol, enjoy wasting pops where you dont interrupt a cast and get fulmed.

I did MM, ambition and ranis atma (or raja, one of the two) for macc and it was more than sufficient. The effort of running it to a cliff (not to mention that while youre runnin it, it will cast on itself) exceeds the ease of stunning it.

I know 'alternate' versions of mobs don't really work, but this is sort of different I guess since it's the same zone -- does anybody know if Mythic trials in Salvage can be completed on the Lv.99 versions of the chariots?

[Kidnoftle]

The effort of making the mob impossible to wipe to fails outweighing the effort to watch stuns of which you could potentially miss one/resist. Got it.

150+ horns and I've never wiped to an apa using my set up and the cliff (having had it level multiple times in a single fight as well).

Also, who the fuck cares about the /one/ level up it might get on spawn, you'll outrange its fulm after self cast if you're running it to the cliff. The fuck are you scared of fulm anyway? Fighting it with taru DD w/ no merit abyssites?

Edit: my advice goes doubly so if you're multiboxing and not using a stunbot.

0 idea. Can't say I've bothered testing etc and have used RNG/THF a total of 2 times. Pretty sure BS proced but I don't recall the TH lvl.

Does not work, you need to be in the salv v1 zone. Tried recently on a friend's yagrush and nothing.

[dasva]

Yeah I've only apa like 30 times and we had a bit of DD power (2 mnks and a thf) but we didn't have a set stunner and never saw a single flum

[Cairthenn]

Thanks~ Sort of unfortunate, but not surprising. Hopefully Peryton will pop I guess; Skadi body is still the only original piece I don't have. -_-

Can a WHM/BLM with macc atmas and a chatoyant staff stun apademak at a reliable rate?

WHM/BLM works fine. I've even stunned on THF/BLM, dark merits, dark torque, merciful cape and Merciless Matriarch. (He has 99BLM so it's just stuff he had laying around.) I've seen 1 resist on THF/BLM in 35 horns - and the Stun that got resisted, the thunder spell was interrupted.

Do Unkai Kabuto +2 and Unkai Kote +2 need to stay equipped during Seigan and WS respectively for their bonuses to remain in effect?

Yes for kote. I Think kabuto needs to be on full time as well but I swear I've randomly countered with just seigan up and no kabuto before. Could have been a glitch or might only need on activation.

[dasva]

Yes for kote. I Think kabuto needs to be on full time as well but I swear I've randomly countered with just seigan up and no kabuto before. Could have been a glitch or might only need on activation.

It's not a glitch. Seigan allows zanshin counters now. That said kabuto doesn't add much

Once again showing how terrible you are. Melee hits will intetrupt apa most of the time now, but even if it does level up it shouldn't be killing you at all.


@Darkmagi I had it resist less than 5 times during the 40something fights it took to get 75 horns using Apoc/MM/Perfect Attendance on Whm/blm with a decent but by no means perfect stun set. Fulm won't really be anywhere near killing you and if you pull it to bottom of ramp and put mage at the top you are 100% safe provided you tank from side/back and move when it turns to face you for fulm. Contrary to Nynja's wonderful input, pulling it to the cliff isn't some laborious task, it will cast once when popped and won't again before you can get it to ramp so just stun on pop.

[Nattack]

when I rank up in a guild, do I get to turn in GP items for the rank I'm at or the rank I was for that day?

[Kamil]

You can turn in items of both ranks.

Also is Embrava still worth using in Meebles after the nerf? Old and new.

[Guild43]

Assuming yes, but is Marquis Andras soloable by crappy geared BST for Monster Gloves?
