Does the Floor 4 South frog in Zhaylom also drop Njord's Mask? Or is it like one of the lower floors where it's just cells?

Edit: Answered my own question.

[TacoTaru]

what atmacite should I be using on MNK/NIN for Voidwatch? For SCH? I've finally got a decent amount of clears under my belt and I'm trying to figure out what I should upgrade. I only have access to use two atmacite at the moment.

Are any of the Mog Bonanza prizes or kupons dboxable to another character on the same account?

Not Marbles, Kupons, or Cat's eye. Much of the other stuff is ok to send. You can get the Kupon for af3+1 seals, redeem it, and then mail the seals.

The post is a little out of date/inaccurate, as I imagine slip 14 is also unable to send, but basically anything where it'd be real nice to be able to mail, you can't.

Dring can be sent? I did not see it on list. (Hey one can dream right)

[RicFlair]

Yes Dring can be sent, my friend confirmed.

Does Benediction really remove ALL status ailments including Kaustra, Terror, Amnesia, Doom, Attribute down from Mantis?

Believe so, yes.

No, Benediction doesn't remove all status effects, its a bad description that they won't fix.

Kaustra not sure. Terror don't think so, Amnesia definitely not, Doom I believe is a chance like a cursna, attributes down should work.

it does remove kaustra 100%, as for doom I am not sure on that part.

I want to make sure I understand the mechanics of server jumping to buy a piece of gear, but leave my main on the same server it currently resides.

Account 1: Character that needs/wants said gear goes nowhere.
Account 2: Transfer character, with the appropriate amount of gil, to the destination server with the gear, and buy the gear from the seller.
Account 3: Create mule, transfer the newly purchased piece of gear to this brand new level 1 mule, then immediately transfer mule to same server as account 1.

I'm unclear on this because I don't know if you can transfer a character right away after creation.

Yes I understand there will be a fee for server transfer x2.

Am I missing anything?

Yeah, the only thing that uses a long enough terror that I'd maybe want to attempt a 1hr to remove is ADL and then I'm terrorized too most likely, so I can't say I've even attempted it. But for some reason I feel the answer is no, which makes me think I tried randomly a long time ago.

Doom I remember not working, but heard it worked sometimes, like cursna.

[RicFlair]

Thanks for the answers guys, guess I'll test Terror myself hehe.

Btw speaking of ADL, why do WHMs stand at the door with the DDs? Is it because WHM cant get in a good position to avoid the knockback grav from ADL as well as being range to cure DDs? I guess Esuna and Cura III are really effective but I'm wondering if it's worth being in range of breakga, paralyga, Tera Slash and terror. You cant have PD all the time and some stuns do miss.

Our group does it because you can get a rare random anomaly where when ADL splits, 1 of the 2 clones will pick any random person in the alliance and go after them. If a mage, or a mule is in ally and outside of the alcove an ADL can potentially chase them down, and if the clone that stayed in the alcove is wrong, the time spent running after the ADL will waste your PD.

Also, Violent Rupture's range is larger than casting range and has a huge knockback with a heavy gravity. So you'll be getting blown away from the people you need to heal if decides it likes that move.

You can do it with 2 or even 1 account. Doing it with 1 involves the seller trusting you to come back with the gil but if you can do it this way only costs you 1 transfer fee. If doing it with 2 accounts then yeah just make new mules on both accounts to xfer one to the destination and the other back home.

The only reason your WHMs are standing there is because they don't know that you can position yourself either of the two pillars (i prefer the right) before the castle to avoid the knockback/gravity death sentence.

Trying to get Sand Charm for quest. Any advice on camping the ferry for pirates, or is it simply dumb luck that they spawn?

There is a plethora of luck involved.

[shepardG]

15-20%ish so should get it around abouts 1/5 trips.

[fantasticdan]

Well not luck that they spawn, luck that you end up in the right zone. You can tell if you're on the pirate trip if you can target the doors as soon as you can control your character after you zone in. Or via apradar/whatever.
