three dumb questions

[grunion]

1. where do you get the Walahra Turban? i read through most of the 25+ page thread but i didnt see the name of the actual NPC who gives it. thanks

2. what's QFt stand for?

3. i have brd and smn at 75, and not sure where to spend all the merits im getting for the turban. i've got smn and mp capped, a couple points in sword and staff (but want to keep weapon merits free in case i level up a melee job), nothing in magic skills (because BRD and SMN skills = useless for now, and if i level BLM i will want everything in that) and -enmity+crits capped. also 5+5 in smn, so that's capped. only places left to spend them:
BRD has 3 in -lullaby recast (bleh) and 3 in minuet (bleh). seems like a waste to spend them there for stuff that barely matters.
stats has zero because im not sure what would be worthwhile. +vit for less damage in all jobs? +agi for evasion? meh. so any advice here would be nice.

1. Trade 1000 imperial bronze pieces to "Ｇajaad" in Al Zahbi
2. Quoted for Truth (basically agreeing with someone)
3. I have no idea what you're asking here, merits have nothing to do with getting the Turban, you use Conquest Points (Imperial Standing) to purchase Aht Urghan currency, then give the currency to the NPC Ｇajaad

QFT = Quit Fucking Talking imo.

He means that he's getting a lot of merits while farming Imperial points for the turban and he doesn't know where to spend them.

You can interpret it however you like, but just know that to anyone else who reads it, it will mean "quoted for truth" and it means that they are agreeing with what they quoted.

[Deimos]

For the longest time, I thought QFT stood for "Quite Fucking True", but I guess I was close enough. Like Brennon says, I think it's pretty obvious from the context it gets used in that the quoted person is being agreed with.

[Teepo]

lol i was thinking the same, i read like 10+ pages of the turban thread and was like wtf so how do i actually get the damn thing ;;

btw anyone on remora wanna come exploring? lol went by myself and that didnt go well damn imps can burn in hell seriously.

The NPC that you trade imp. bronze coins to is Gajaad, not Qajaad.
I am sure people would figure it out pretty easily anyways, but i thought i'd mention it anyways. Also after 100 coins you also get an EX water that restores some hp/mp.

[Dank]

It means both quoted for truth, and quite fucking true, look it up on wikipedia

[layoneil]

3) i'd finish Minuet and Lullaby just because. after that do STR, no other stats matter, just do STR now so you don't have to do it later.

[Koga]

Wow... makes me think back to all those posts that i thought ppl were saying Quit Fucking Talking lol.......


Then again.. i used to think FFS = Final Fantasy Sucks for the longest time.

[othellojr]

For merits, if you are contemplating leveling Blm, then Int, if you are considering a melee job, then do Str. As for Brd merits, as was stated, do Lulaby recast, and Minuet (only song along with march that matter in a burn party anyways).

imo, walahra turban isn't that great for brd unless you're doing MP bard or you're a taru who's pulling in a burn party and can use the +30 HP. However, I haven't gotten the turban yet so I can't really tell you. But it doesn't really affect what merits you put in to your brd.

Actually Turban is pretty nice. If you normally use Opo + Pamamas, now you can use Turban + Tacos, get the defense bonus while pulling in an EXP PT, and not lose out on any MP or CHR(maybe a CHR or two). Combined MP/HP from tacos and the turban is actually more then the Pamama bonus from Opo.

I haven't used my Opo crown in a very long time because I got really tired of always having to carry around pamamas and use them for every little thing (yes I'm lazy). I normally use a Mahatama Hat+1 and only use the crown when I'm needed as MP bard for something. Even still, I have roughly 500 MP without the crown so I'm usually fine. I'm not going to criticize turban too much yet because I don't have one so i don't know firsthand which headpiece is better.

Bard merits are the suck...

You could always dump some merits into combat skill, looks like you haven't done evasion yet - lvl 4 is pretty nice for other jobs, and I suppose there is some small benefit to pulling as bard or other endgame stuff.

Also, supposedly they are going to open up some new JA's via merit points, at least that was mentioned during the fan festival (i think). Stockpiling 8-10 merits for those isn't a bad idea. Besides, worst case if you left yourself on merits and you got 10 merits and 9999 limit points to #11, you'd switch back over into xp mode...

[grunion]

thanks for the info guys

i agree >.<

xp capped already and i was sitting at 10/10 9999 limits already for 1 xp party. i forgot to spend merits and wasted about 15000 limit points lol. but i got IP which is what i want right now (for the hat)

Get BRD AF2 Hat... 5 CHR, + 10 singing skill and -3 enmity ftw.. can also eat tacos on top of that lol. Well for xp Turban would be fine.. especially for recasts on shit like finale in KRT where a Sorceror recasts ice spikes right after you pull him with finale lol (well if you party with lazy RDMs). Not like 75 BRD with merits has any problems landing crap on KRT mobs. ToAU mobs seem to be a different story though. Heh macro in AF2 head for all offensive songs (shit casted on mobs) put on the Turban for buffs like ballad, minuet etc. Well depending on how much CHR you have on other slots you can keep on turban for recasts... or if you are crazy enough to merit it lol... 4/5 CHR and 7/8 MP for my dumb ass. I never use my opo crown anymore since I got AF2 head.

we haven't done a dynamis-san d'oria for ages (cough sendoh and nikkei) so I haven't been able to get BrdAF2 head. If only dynamis could be soloed. Mahatama Hat+1 works just fine for me in the mean time.

lol, pulling BLM skeles in KRT with finale is stupid. Pull with elegy and finale them either as they are running towards or while they are slept.

I'm not going to merit CHR because I'm an elvaan and I'd rather put those merits in to something else. I have 7/8 MP too and since BRD job merits suck, I just capped out Minuet effect and Lullaby recast.

[layoneil]

if you have Sheik Gages, Haste gear does next to nothing for buff recast.
