Ok I might have spelled it wrong, sorry. lol

Mostly Earth, occasional Fire. http://ff11info.com/bazaar/en/weather.php

Fire typically not forecast and just shows up.

Ok thank you, have to fight 250 Aquans there for Guichard's +1. Did it a year ago for axe and want a second Astolfo. If I remember right, its the pugils I have to kill.

Any reason why Ironclad Executioner would be intimidated by itself? I was kiting it temporarily as call beast was on cool down.

iirc, it had something to do with its basic attacks being self-targeted AoE, so when it gets intimidated by the player, it's on itself since it's not targeting the current hate target.

For walk of echoes, is the drop related to the exp you gain?

Aka - for 5k-7k all you get is devious die/liminal residue?

Have anyone gotten those armor drops with such exp gained?

Thank you.

Have you noticed that when it does its cannon move it fully heals your pet temporarily? Is this some kind of glitch that has yet to be fixed?

That makes sense. Thanks.

It looks more like a very strong HP down effect to me but it doesn't affect players. Although I did not bother counting to verify, here's roughly what happens:

He uses arm cannon
My pet gets full HP
After a while, if it does not use arm cannon again, my pet instantly drops back to 20%~ (critical) HP
If it does arm cannon again, my HP will go to full or near full
After a while, it'll drop again, to the 10% region

It never felt like it was being healed.

EDIT: I say curse, because that is how curse behaves to your bar of HP.
Likewise, I always insist using Purelent Ooze on Gooey Gerard when opening a fight, because that's 10% (?) damage right there without you needing to do anything.

If you use purelent ooze when a mob is at 95% and HP down sticks, you'll notice the mob's HP bar goes to 100%. This is what lead me to believe that arm cannon has HP down properties on it.

Arm cannon is a strong hp/mp down, it doesn't apply to players since they always have cruor buffs.

I was lol'ing because there is a port to it.

1. Which CoP mission do I have to complete until I can buy Brutal Earring?
2. Is Rajas Ring good until 99 (for war/drk/mnk)?
3. What are some of the cheap/easy-to-get earring options for war/drk/mnk at 99?

Thank you!!!

[Radec]

1) If you can't just buy ABC and trade them right now, then probably just sea access (7-5 complete)
2) Yes
3) Ghillie, Brutal, Bale all good. Ravager/Tantra are ok. Kokou's if need stp. - Of all those, ghillie is buyable.

[Corkadile]

1) Just beating Tenzen to get into Sea, I think.
2) Extremely.
3) Bale Earring is decently easy to get for DRK. Ghillie Earrings aren't great but they get the job done I guess and they're super-cheap. All that comes to mind off the top of my head.

How does one get to Halvung starting from Al Zahbi? I haven't been to it for 2 years and I can't remember.

[Cairthenn]

There is literally a box at the top of this page that you can search "Halvung" in and it'll bring up a wiki page that will show you zone connections.

Ok I'll look on that, thanks. :D

For the Ix'aern (MNK), do you guys recommending trading 1 HQ Aern Organ at a time or 3 HQ Aern Organ at a time? Assuming you're after Merciful Cape. I've heard people say trading 3 at a time will only get you Deed 100%, but that's not what Wiki says. What do you guys suggest?

[Cairthenn]

I used three organs to get my capes, but there's technically no data to demonstrate how different trade numbers affects vice drop rate, if at all. I'm just more comfortable knowing I'm getting something guaranteed.

Thank you.

We have done WoE #15 several times. We use 3 mages and 3 DDs. The DDs get 10k+ each time, the mages 1~5k. We have gotten an equal number of grips on either characters. We have yet to get any nomkhapa mittens after 300+ chests total, that shit is worse than the failed glowing weapons from VW. The drop rate is so low that I dont think anyone can conclude anything on the relation exp reward to drop rate.

I tend to believe exp is linked to the number of items in the chest and not the quality of the rewards, personally, but ive never done anything elses than #15.
