Element ore + Wind = bead. Odin has 20 singles and 20X12 stacks.
Edit: Shiva is about 1/2 that.
You're killing me, Smalls. Well, you could always grow them. It's not that bad with Mog gardens (four days or so).
If you have left over plat ring+1s from skilling up on the lvl 72 rings the recipe using the +1 rings cap at 99.
Snowsteel ingot is 100. ores drop pretty common from certain reives. iirc it's dho, kamhir and raka. Also pretty easily mined.
Could do hepatizon ingots. A few over on your server and pretty easily farmed
And always some good ole silver cassandras
If you still under 106 the lvl 72 rings with nq plat rings still work
Muscle Belts seem like your best bet to get you to 100. If you know someone with high enough leather, just farm a bunch of manticore hides and have them turn it into leather. You can make your own Gold/Brass ingots as the guild NPC has ores on infinite supply (12k for Gold, 250gil for Brass, not incl crystal or break cost). Theres no NPC supply for Manticore hides, and ffxidb is down so theres no way to check which mob has the best drop rates, so grind those out. An hour of farming should net you quite a few Hides and last a bit. Or you can camp the AH and hope someone else is fighting manticores and not NPCing/tossing those out. Your other option to get to 100 is to make Platinum Rings and synth some of the lv72 rings. ffxiah says there are 90 (between stacks and singles) of those stones on the AH right now on Quetz.
Start stockpiling whatever Orichalcum you can get your hands on, cause you'll need it to get to 110 unless you plan to just do Hepatizon's (which you could). Silver Cassandra's are a decent option as well (get the Hexagun from sparks) if theres no supply of Elemental Beads/Ores.
You cant rely on the Ugol set as Palladian is almost non existant (Provenance drop, or Legion I think), as is Durium (WoE). You could make some hexed stuff, but thats pricey (and Ormulu supply seems dry too) So ya, stockpile Orichalcum.
XIDB got hit with a quasi-ransomware through a mongodb exploit. We have an offsite backup, but we're taking this opportunity to re-investigate hosting and see if we should change providers.
Abyssea is the best bet for farming most mobs even if the actual drop rate is lower than another zone just because all the mobs are in one spot, making it easy to AoE farm, and the repops are way faster than world spawns.
