Has anyone tried trading all 4 new winds from gods or the 4 old ones?

Combinations of 4 items yields six permutations when paired, and only 4 in triple. (Pretty sure I didn't miss a combo)
So if it's 4 items like these... Then it'll be like the T1s only needing all the items.

[Hoshiku]

I think it was 9 in combo for the 3 items:
abc, abd, abe, bcd, bce, cde, cda, dea, deb

Also I'm pretty sure I have the VD clears for the 5 arks but not DM so if there's a req there it probably requires a VD clear on DM.

Well there is no order in a trade in FFXI. What he ment is:

If you pair the items you get:

Weed + Log
Weed + Crayfish
Weed + Duskcrawler
Log + Crayfish
Log + Duskcrawler
Crayfish + Duskcrawler


..or if you tripple them up:

Weed + Log + Crayfish
Weed + Log + Duskcrawler
Weed + Crayfish + Duskcrawler
Log + Crayfish + Duskcrawler


All combinations that don't seem to fit into the 5 pops needed for AA

[Verendus]

Has anyone tried abjurations in any fashion for AA ki's? With abj. as a single part of the combo, it may fit 5 AA's with head/body/hand/leg/feet. Kind of against tatter's since there were 6 sets (not counting phantasmal/hadean), but the sky god pops all used the synergized scraps.

[Hoshiku]

Sorry, that was before coffee - that was for 5 items not 4. I was just naming them letters since we don't know what they are.

[DirtyWattz]

So I guess the Koryu fight also involves luck on not getting AoE Absolute Terrored after screens? Not to mention hoping the adds don't pop too quickly. I guess with 2 plds and a run and the whm/sch/geos rotating screens it wouldn't be too bad. This sounds extremely annoying without Idris and/or Mythic SMNs zerg though.

[Damane]

long stretch but anyone tried the Ark pentasphere that actually gives you the possibility to fight DM?

[Hoshiku]

Yes, we tried the ark pentasphere. I believe illuminoink was also tried. The person who tried ark pentasphere probably didn't have all the VD clears because he was gone for a lot of that. Seeing as it's a group of four items or four types of items the ark pentasphere still seems unlikely on its own.

[NynJa]

Has anyone tried including the 119 upgrade items (Exalted, Bery, Mali Coral, etc) with those trades?

[Hoshiku]

You should try them in combination. I only tried them individually with the corresponding chapters.

Actually if someone could test one of the following things I would be obliged: (up to 10 of each thing if you have that kicking around)
chapter 6, Maliyakaleya Orb, Gabbrath Horn, Defiant Sweat
chapter 7, Hepatizon Ingot, Yggdreant Bole, Dark Matter
chapter 8, Beryllium Ingot, Bztavian Stinger, Macuil Horn
chapter 9, Exalted Lumber, Waktza Rostrum, Tartarian Chain
chapter 10, Sif's Macrame, Rockfin Tooth, Plovid Effluvium

I would try this but I am at work for a while yet.

[Damane]

the wording is strange. 4 trigger items, but maybe you need only 1 of them and get to choose a KI?. Try your DM earrings ... its 4 earrings (since you can reget one if you drop it no?)

[Skudo]

I need a quick sanity check...

Venerian Abjuration: Legs (Amalric Slops) drop from Naphula. Right? Right?! ;-(

[Radyyn]

Yes, Venerian legs drop from Naphula. Anyone know what other items drop from Warder of Justice? Wiki only lists neck piece. Also, Seki Shuriken drops from where?

[Skudo]

I just picked up a Halitus Helm from Warder of Justice. Thanks for the confirmation, too. 0/20-ish on Naphula made me doubt everything I knew. Boohoohoo.

The wording is actually a little weirder. It doesn't say 4 trigger items but types of trigger items... could be a poor translation but if they meant it like that it could mean all kinds of things

You used the crafted items, don't forget to try non-crafted.

[Hoshiku]

So I only had 3 waktza rostrums and as such I tried the 9, lumber, rostrum, chain route. I also included 3 exalted logs in my trade. Thankfully that didn't work!

[Sechs]

I apologize for the sudden change of topic, but anybody mind sharing some more details on Seiryu?
I've tried it only 3 times, each time we failed because of the clunky hate mechanics.
It seems to me it's not a bug and it's not random either.
There seems to be a trick, altough I cannot grasp it.
Look here. Even though one of their PLDs dies at a certain point, hate of Seiryu is fixated on the tanks 100% of the time, it never moves not even a single time.

We experienced Seiryu "fixating" on certain characters, and once he fixated on them, as soon as they performed an action he was going straight for them.
Happened the first time with a SCH, as soon as he was casting a spell, sometimes just using Immanence, Seiryu was turning around to go at him.
All the while I was nuking like crazy on GEO, never got hate a single time.
Another time he fixated on our GEO, as soon as she cast Geo-Torpor, Seiryu aimed straight for her, multiple times.
Another time he fixated on our RDM, he didn't cast anything other than several Haste2s spread around and a couple of debuffs.
All the while I was DDing and debuffing like crazy on DNC, never turned not even a single time for me.

I dunno, this seems strange, there clearly seems to be some game mechanic going on with him and his "fixations", it doesn't seem to be hate decay or hate reset, it's something else but I don't get it.

[Lyramion]

Simple: Seiryus gimick is to immediatly hate anyone who is doing Dark Based magic. Nukes of course, but even Frazzle will do. This is why in the JP video they use THFs only and no magic.

[FaeQueenCory]

That's why I think it may be 4 items and you choose (ala T1s); if it means 4 items...

For type... I can't think of anything related to the AAs like that.
I'm usually good at seeing SE's insane troll logic... Being an insane troll myself... But this has me stumped.
Everything we think of has too many items (5/6/9)... The only thing that has 4 even the most tangentially related is the sky gods' breaths.
I don't recall if someone did the new ones, but I believe the 75 ones were checked and yielded no result.
