Mercurial Kris

[Fira]

Only problem I have is my friends fishing mule has this item D:

same lol, but his fishing mule is a 73 galka brd, so it works out ok for us

[Sekkite]

P.S.: Does everyone doing the BC need the key item?

[Fira]

Does everyone doing the fight need the key item?

He's leveling up SMN for it. I already have SMN.

How much is the kris on Bahamut?

I've done the valk one 5 times, got 1 kris, 3 fuscina's, and timed out once. The tarutaru snare makes mobs hit for 1 damage, the mithran snares cancel a mobs 2hour. They are fairly resistant to sleep but not to bad. Me and 2 friends do this as blm brd nin, allthough blm blm nin is probably better, or maybe a rdm(if they have sleep1, I don't remember).

Mercuial Sword actually attacks 2-4 times even though it says 2-3 times.

double attack?

1) Double attack does not stack with normal multi-proct weapons.

2) PLD/RDMs have also reported getting up to 4 attacks in a round.

Its possible that if 3 swings get off, the delay on the weapon has gone full circle and that 4th attack is just your next natural swing kicking in after the animations have finished, either that or Square sucks with numbers.

Also....this is an 8 dmg lv 50 weapon....kraken club is 11 dmg, and you hit for really low dmg/0 a lot of the time. I don't see how an 8 dmg weapon is expected to break a monsters defense in any sort of reliable fashion endgame to justify that 30 mil (?) pricetag.

You can use the argument that as long as it hits for 1 you're getting tp, but you're also giving the mob however much tp that delay gives, on top of losing a shit load of your own natural dmg on your second weapon. If you were just using a 2nd dagger and triple attack kicked off, it'd be the same effect with like a 95% dmg increase.

damn, i forgot that we changed servers....ghey

Edit: I retract my not nice thing that I said about that Vboard.


I have a friend who is rank 4 Fishing, and is now on the Quest "Inside the Belly". I found the fish needed to be 9K a pop, and bought some. I plan to buy upwards of 80, but I really dont have much money and if 4-5 will suffice (I tend to be lucky) then great. If not, I'll sell my virginity for some more.

Now, the setup we have is (since the person on the quest HAS to come, the trigger item is rare/ex....isn't it?? Fuck I always assumed it was, but now as I speak...)

If so, the setup is;

NIN/WAR (me)
NIN/WAR (my faithful and sexually deprived wing man John)
BLM/WHM (the friend)

I thought about this. Assuming the BLM had to come with us, he could sleep a mob while John and I struggle with Ichi and XPotions, long enough for him to fish up some items. At which point, our two mobs may either be dead or hurting. We can all team up and alternate tanking on the third mob and the BLM could switch to nuking. Kite during two hours, if that happens prior to killing off 2 out of 3.

Would this work?

If not, please recommend a different job setup or strategy. I'd hate to waste that pirate map.

At our diposal, the following jobs could be used;

Me: RDM (obviously), NIN, WAR, RNG, BLM
John: NIN, SAM, THF, WAR
Friend: BLM, WHM, SMR

long enough for him to fish up some items.

You dont fish anything up in valkurm.


You get an initial cast to hopefully reel in a snare (it gives you plenty of time though), which Kuno has allready stated their use.

Wouldn't the 3 base damage difference be compensated for if your dagger skill rating is superior to club?

[Slott]

Hihi, I have a mercurial kris, actually the one posted in fira's screen shot is...mine. Anyway, the dagger is absolutely great for thieves. I rarely hit for 0 on it, and I even use it on fafnir and hit for 1, which is good enough because it gets me tp. On average exp mobs, never hit for 0.
This game doesnt have mitigation for daggers i'm assuming, or at all, because if i hit for 30-40 with blau dolch, i'll be hitting for 7-9 with dagger, except much more often.
In exp group, I often had 190-250 tp before the monk even had 100, when hasted, I get tp fast enough that I can SA WS, TA ws, then have tp right as SA repops, pretty much every 30 seconds. I used to use sirocco kukri offhand, but now I find it useless compared to the kris. It's superior to ridill for a thief (higher dagger skill = less miss, and the only time i've ever hit for 0, was on fafnir, and blau dolch hits for 0 just as well...heh.

John: NIN, SAM, THF, WAR

Your best bet is you: blm, john: nin, friend: blm. Here's what you need to do...i'll break it down for you easily.

Person trades, goes through cut scene, start fishing immediately, hope for a snare. nin vokes crab, while blms sleep the other 2. Use snare on crab, nuke crab down fast if you can...
next, nin vokes sahagin, other blm sleeps kraken while the fisherman starts fishing rampantly. Repeat for kraken. Snares make or break this fight when fighting. 100 fist will RAPE a nin if you dont have snares (taru snare makes mob hit for 1, yet has a duration on it, while mithra snare cancels 2h(not sure if you can use it beforehand and the mob won't 2h at all...but don't know) even chugging hi pots vs an unsnared mob you wont last long. Fighting 2 mobs at the same time is an easy way to get killed.

Bring hi pots, bring hi ethers and yagudo drinks, and hope you luck out.

All of you level SMN to 20. Easy.

[Cohibu]

masterorion have u looked at any of the pages? u will notice that picture if already up twice before u even posted

[Jerseyprophet]

Ok, we did it tonight twice. We wiped twice. We went MNK, BLM, SMR.

First time, SMR didnt use a silent oil when fishing to start (Got a Mithran Snare <3) and was one shotted. I slept the Sahagin fine, MNK had the kraken down to 30% and it 2 hour'd.

Second time SMR Astral flowed beautifully, took down the 2 targeted (sahagin and crab) to ...30-40%. MNK did the same, held the kraken to 40% and it 2 houred.


What we've decided is that I am leveling summoner to 20, John leveling BLM to 20, and it's going to be Astral Flow > Astral Flow (will more than likely kill the Kraken + the Crab) and the BLM will sleep the sahagin (again, IF it's still standing after the initial 2 astral flow's).

It was very fun, and we'll be doing it on sunday (provided I can get SMR from 10 to 20 over the weekend).

We still have the mithran snare.

We are 2/2 on trades for the pirate chart.

Also, it should be noted -- the normal mobs in the area WILL still aggro, despite being in a "BCNM mode" on the beach, yet noone outside the party can cure you while fighting.

It's a shame, it was a full moon. Oh well, I used that to my advantage and got a Carbuncle Ruby, after about 10 million leeches. Give or take

I want this dagger, I really really do. I can't afford 20-30 Million for it, and this BCNM was too damn easy to get in to to pay that anyway. They sell the stupid fish not three feet away from the quest NPC at the guild for 9k. Bought one, traded one, and we were ready to enter.

I'm willing to endure the dunes with Summoner for 10 levels. I will have this knife, I won't stop until I do.
