    The difference is that ridill is far and away better than any other sword in the game, whereas torques are virtually indistinguishable, power-level wise, with PCC.

    How many times must I restate this simple point before it sinks in?

    I have a faith torque and a peacock charm!!

    I like my torque more. But I don't think it makes a huge difference either way.

    You lost the argument; just take a cheap shot and walk away.

    Hardly.


    "It takes too much effort for me to get 14-18 friends to track down Faith's ??? and kill it...so I'll just sit in jeuno and make 20 mil and buy a peacock charm."
    I stand by my original claim: you're lazy.

    I guess you think "not being lazy" involves wasting all your friends' time to get an item exclusively for your personal use on your main job. I happen to like my friends, so I try not to waste their time, and would much rather buy the equivalent item with a weekend of crafting and then spend my time with them doing something funner than Foot Stab.

    meaning acc+10 = acc+6 atk+7
    Why not use a grand temple knight's collar instead of a PCC then? If the attack is what sets the torque apart from the charm like the extra attack per round potential and 5 damage on a ridill sets it apart from the joyeuse...

    What the fuck do you think camping Fafnir for 3 months straight to get someone a Ridill is ??
    It doesnt take three fucking months to get a Faith Torque, like it does to get a Ridill.

    Difference is killing Fafnir might not drop Ridill in tons of kills, spanning over a month to several months.... but at least the rest of the LS gets abj, so-so rare/ex gear and get to lot on materials... Jailers you get a decent chance at torque, some ok to good weapons, pop item for next tier... and that is for only 2-3 jobs maximum... sea though can take relatively less time to max out on. While Kings can take forever... well if you are solely camping for Ridill. Both suck lol.

    Camping for only the ridill has already been acknowledged as a stupid and pointless retarded endeavor. Camping for the ridill while still obtaining abjurations that are far and away some of the BEST HNM gear available to the jobs that can wear it, money drops, and even decent options if not clearly the best for said jobs on the other hand...

    Yes and when Fafnir doesn't drop ridill he drops nothing. Except a dragon talon. And other money drops. And other rare/ex items. And abjurations. LETS NOT FORGET ANDVARANAUTS. And we spend only 10 minutes of the camp actually paying attention.

    Don't forget the Ridill's 2-3 attacks a round vs the 1 to 2 on joyeuse, guaranteed 2 attacks and possibly 3 is MUCH better than 1 to 2 not to mention the attack and delay differences... Ridill kills anything dropped off of Sea Jailers period.

    PCC is good for all DD jobs.. while torques are specialized to one to 3 jobs max that it is useful for. Also PCC takes up one inventory slot for a neck piece for several jobs. Torques take up multiple slots. Argus is a bitch to camp though, but a rare/ex version is nice. But that is not a Kings vs Jailers thing. That is AH gear vs Jailers.

    JoL definately does not take 36+ people...

    18 main alliance, 1 add pt for aerns (atleast how my LS fights it), and 1 outside pt of healers.
    Read what I wrote again...then read what you wrote. It's sad when you argue with someone who just said exactly what you said.

    My point was, you CAN NOT do everything in sea with merely 24 people in your LS (despite the fact that 24 people could beat JoL). People can't be online 24 hours a day. Do you get it?

    Well a 1h jailer weapon can give you 4 attacks per round, and Ridill is "occasionally attacks 2-3 times" so it can attack 1-to-3 times per round.

    going to kill something when you intend to sell every possible item it drops makes you the equivalent of a gilseller.
    Hardly.. My LS farmed Tiamat for 3+ months just to sell the drops. We didn't keep anything at all, the only reason to kill it was for money. I could care less what other people think of it, people don't think BST and SMN deserve to kill HNMs here, and some LS including one of the top 10 LSes on Big kills attempted to MPK us at Tiamat multiple times. They never succeeded, and it made it even sweeter to sell Gaiters 3 times for 150m+

    Sorry, but it doesnt take long to have faf's abjus go to free lot...


    wow a 2.5 mil (I'll be nice and say 4 mil, I'm being VERY generous in this) talon split amongst 18+ people. Someone before commented on 30-40 mil vrtra drops being shit because its among 40 ppl. So 30-40 mil amongst 40 ppl = bad, but 4 mil amongst 18+ = good.

    Once again, everything makes sense.

    You said you need 36+...then you changed it to "well you dont need that many people, its extra for when ppl arent on". 18+6+6 = 30, and that's for an easy kill.

    It's still the equivalent of a gilseller.. lol.

    Gilseller tendencies fulfilled:

    1. Restrict yourself to specific NMs, due to jobs, numbers, and/or skill, in this case Tiamat.
    2. Kill said NMs to sell any and all drops.
    3. Do so in a manner than pains any competent LS to watch.
    4. Fall victim to MPK attempts, successful or not.


    It's not meant to be an insult; if I were only a BST, I'm sure I'd try to get a piece of the Tiamat pie, but the method with which you do that is still equivalent to gilsellers.
