Anyone recommend what I can get with my 2.6k login points before the deadline? Or should I just get any old crap?

Except it isn't WSD 10%, its fTP .1.

liminal residue and devious die (100 of each) unlocks an empyrean weapon skill of your choice. If you absolutely can't make a decision for now, wait till they announce next login campaign and see if you want to save 1500 towards next login.

Alluvion stones can be decent gil, or can be put towards alluvion armor. Enhancing magic duration or phalanx+ comes to mind as unique properties

[FallingHigher]

Thanks, I will look into the weaponskills

As a RDM, what do I need to worry about in terms of endgame gear? Do you still need separate sets for Enfeebling/Enhancing/etc or do they have gear that covers all of it?

Yes, separate.

Why, that's what this games battle system is all about lol.

Do you login points for just one account? Or can you login with other characters on the same account and each get individual points?

The latter.

They sometimes offer abyssean NM trophies as well (briareus helm, chloris bud, etc). I knew a friend who made 15 mules, got 1500 points on them, and deactivated them until a useful login comes along. He did it once when chloris buds were available and shaved off a good number of how much he needed to farm. Granted he waited quite a while... but he was in no rush to finish. Or rather he was in no rush to farm abyssea.

Again, this is pretty rare, but sometimes gil items can be acquired, or you can obtain more savory shanks to work towards your d.ring.

I was legit asking for this very reason lol

i have 6 mules, between the login points and the goblin, it's pretty damn sweet.

Same, it takes like a solid 20 minutes checking them all though.

[Xno Kappa]

Just checked how many traverser stones i got and apparently i have 3704 lmao. Thought farming in abyssea was going to be a gigantic pain in the ass with the time locks.

January 10th starts the Abyssea campaign so you'll get like all the best atma and shit automatically if you don't already have it and like 100k cruor for free.

[arus2001]

Bri Helms aren't too bad too farm on your own. The real Abyssea cockblock will be Apadamak and Sisyphus' respawn timer. Someone else farming at the same time just makes it that much worse. And while you can get the pop Sisyphus item from gold chests, that may translate to not being as good a job for killing Apa himself depending on what you have geared up, as he can still wipe ilvl people if they're unlucky with petrifies and such. Basically, I'd say it's an instance where having a friend along instead of just trusts will really work to your benefit all around.

Should I spend login points for Coins of Decay? I don't know if they'll be there next month and I plan on taking up DRK once I'm done with BLU since you guys told me GS/Torcleaver is the new hotness.

[Ksandra]

I forget if you are using a new account or old one, so sorry if these questions seem silly. Do you have a D. ring yet? Also, you can keep 1500 and roll them over into the next month.

Coins of Decay are pretty easy to get tbh. I spent most of my logins on Shank for D. ring (got now) and every trust/mount I can get.

Also silly things like the TH rabbit hat, etc.

[Funkworkz]

All coins are cheap, and not worth spending points on.

If you cant find anything, horde up sacred kindred crests for the next campaign.
