Assuming no Thaumas yet: does anything from either the Enif or Murzim sets have any place in THF TP sets?

[Draylo]

Has anyone gotten onto the test server recently using windower? I can't get it to work. I see the "play on test server", click it and then it attempts to open the game into full screen and then goes right back to the play screen as if I ALT-TAB.

Edit: Solved it, just delete ROM 9

Only piece that would really help is the body. Enif would be the better, I think.

Maybe someone can influence me on making me the right decision: I am wondering if I should turn in my 60 M. Silvers for horn or sell them to buy 5 marrows for great sword. I don't have a linkshell to do Dynamis with. If I did horn then I would definitely need to make the harp, which would take some time (solo player). If I did the horn then my Bard would be more practical.

[Dotsudoku]

There's very little reason to use a cent on horn until you have a 99 harp. The price difference isn't immense, and the latter is significantly more important

[Obsidian]

How do you define "immense"? 90-99 harp on my server is over double the cost of a horn.

You including the marrow? Because looking at prices low ball harp to 75 is around 95mil average marrow is about 12 mil each. While middle price for 90-99 harp is 184.5 mil

[Obsidian]

No, I was only really thinking to 95.

[Dotsudoku]

95 horn is an inventory saver, nothing more. The only reasonable comparison is 99 vs 99

[Guitarman]

Good general-purpose shoes for BLU? Mostly for TP phase, as I don't have the inventory to swap sets for all my spells.

[Kaisha]

It is 95. Leveling from 92-95 stinks.

On that note, what's the mob camp of choice now for fellowship levelling? Not really looked into what the GoV camps offer other than the worms in Gustav.

What are the best atmas for a Apoc DRK in Abyssea?

[Radec]

RR Apoc VV.

Protip, best atma for any melee is always RR Apoc (Something) where something is almost always VV GH or SS. GH or SS if ws crits (depending on ws modifier, any native critrate boosts like impetus, SA/TA), VV if it doesn't.

Even if they're not *perfect*, RR Apoc ??? will always be enough.

[Siniroth]

If I started a brand new account, how far could I get in missions (mainly RotZ and CoP stuff is my interest, but not going to skimp out on game) completely solo minus the key thing in CoP that needs two people to unlock? Time isn't an issue, just looking for something to do with my spare time. I'm guessing with the uncapped fights CoP is almost entirely soloable now, but something better than a wild guess would be nice

capped magic haste is bad? really? even now that embrav receives the nerf bat? also ballads might be needed now. and invo +20.

[MrSamuels]

Can a freshly dinged monk brew Rani with success assuming capped H2H? I do not really want to put too much time into my monk as the main reason I leveled it was for Blue procs in abyssea that I needed. Can get a few +1 if necessary but would do not really want to do much more than that.

Also has anyone had any issues when pre ordering Adoulin? I tried yesterday and needed to buy two copies and it has been the worst experience I have ever had buying online. I go to get my order numbers and the password I get is a generic <PASSWORD_BASED_ON_ORDER> in the e-mail, and if I put in the secondary details it asks for (5 digits Credit Card and e-mail) it will only ever bring up 1 order.

[Fake]

Its only ~1% haste ~1/3 of the time but horn is definitely underrated now. I'd also despise having to incorperate a bunch of non-horn instruments into 4song play, rather than just have a macro that swaps between the 2.

[Byrthnoth]

Well, Langelik exists and G-horn's skill isn't needed to hit the 800 skill cap of any spell, so 95 horn really just gives ballads (+2), scherzo (+2), and Inventory Space +~5 (Minuet, March, Ballad, Madrigal, Elegy, Lullaby) at this point. It also gives a boost to B-tier songs that I probably wouldn't bother to carry an instrument for otherwise (Etude, Scherzo, Threnody, Carol, Mambo, Mazurka), but the reason I wouldn't bother carrying an instrument for them is because I wouldn't generally use them. If I cared about Requiem, I'd use Requiem Flute.

Anyway, Dotsudoku is right for "the prepared bard." You're totally capable of obtaining alternatives that ape 95 G-horn and render it down to Ballad +2 (6MP/tick refresh with 90 Daurd). I personally wouldn't want to waste that much time hunting for random instruments when G-horn is so easy to get especially if it's one of my long term goals, but to each his own.

[mdkuser]

the gjallar horn + daurdabla combo, both at 99, is totally gamebreaking, don't get me wrong. Caped magical haste, 150~200 attack normally, and 450~500 attack during SV, double madrigal is also awsome, as well as free 10STR 10 DEX (or 20DEX). All this with a single job, that can also heal decently, with an infinite MP pool (close to 30 MP/tic).

If you have to just get one, DDB, definately. But the 99 Horn is not as "meh" as the 90 horn was. Also DDB ballads give 12/tic, and DDB+ghorn ballads give 21/tic.

[Sechs]

Well, Langelik exists

After over 900 red/blue capped Celaeno I'm inclined to say that no, Langeleik doesn't exist >___>
