Stage 5 - Completed Relic Weapons List

[Ryko]

What I concluded is that you have an Aegis but you've hardly tanked much end-game on your PLD. (uncapped shield + parry?)

Aside from Gem Cuisses and not af2/homam the gear isn't that bad though. Need some more enmity however.

You could tank every day for your LS as a PLD and never cap shield if you didn't want to, especially since you can basically tank as a PLD/NIN with shield even as low as 100 points below cap and not notice a thing. Of course once you do cap it you notice you block a fuckton more when your shadows are down but before then you'd have nothing to compare it to.

Dunpeald on Bismarck finally finished his Aegis tonight

My gear is somewhat mediocre besides the Aegis, but working on it! Will never have Sattva or Knightly cuz I picked Rajas and Suppa ; ;

The Uncapped Shield skill gets me the most... how can you say you can do stuff with your LS everyday, and not cap your shield, when I got it capped and I don't do half the stuff my HNMls does cause of work. Its possible, they just don't use it enough..

Taru girls are so ridiculously cute....

This is true, but I don't think many PLD's /nin DD it up for most of their 60+ exping time and most career paladins still use /war for some shit. I don't necessarily agree with any reason they have for using /war, but they still do it. Shield is really easy to cap, just exping should get you within 20 of cap (even if you join merit parties as pld/nin for last couple levels) and even /nin I shield block occasionally between shadows.

But the parrying is way too low if you've been a 75pld for a while, I've been 75pld less than a year (got 75 last spring-ish) and hardly ever get to use pld and I capped at 225 parry on pld 2-4 months ago.

I figured the uncapped shield + Aegis combo would be unsettling for some people, heh. It's uncapped because I just don't show up as PLD to most events. Ninety percent of the time I show up as BLM because you hardly need more than 1 PLD at most events and we have a couple members with their only jobs as PLD. Rather than going as PLD myself and leaving out other people that can be participating, I go as BLM or something to keeps things copacetic.

Don't worry though, those paladins have known that I will be using PLD much more now and have been working on other jobs. I'm hoping the shield will be capped after a visit or two to Ix'Mnk :3

5 mandragoras, 2 WHMs, 1 hour, youll be done.

The 100 point below cap thing was speaking from personal experience, paladin was my uh... third job to 60, or 4th, but it was really really early before I even got a single job to 75, plenty of time before they added shield size patch and later the increased block rate patch. While it was within my first 4 jobs to 60, it was the last of 8 to 75, and I only took it past 60 because a friend suggested that I join them on PLD/NIN and just dual wield DD my way up to 75. I'm sure there are some posts here about it, I think it's in that meat/sushi sticky. As such when I hit 75, my shield skill was 176, if not lower >_> only recently have I gone out of my way (tehe mandies in DOR) to cap it, and I've tanked every single HNM in the game with it between the time it hit 75 and the time my shield hit cap.

The parry part rings true though I guess, though I got a grand total of 4 parry skill when I took my nin to 75, it didn't even hit the cap for my warrior.

I agree with this. That is adorable. I wanna see some tanking screenshots on a wyrm or something lol. Little taru vs huge mob = ADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORABLE

Same here.. I leveled PLD to 70 then went DD and I been going PLD to almost everything since January and my linkshell does events daily and lots of them. Tanked Tiamat and Khimaira solo... and my shield is like 265? Unless your full time PLD/WAR which is not a good choise being PLD/NIN is so powerful with the proper equip, you won't be capping shield anytime soon unless you go out of your way.

Also I might be wrong on this, but wasn't there something about 300 being the cap on skill needed for Aegis to proc the max amount?

I'd recomend chigoe over mandys imo.. i've gotten mad parry off those XD

[Allundaria]

Chigoes won't take you to the cap, they stop giving skillups a few levels below.

PLD/RDM can last a reasonably long time against pucks in Den of Rancor with a zoneline behind them for safety, if you can't hijack a few mage friends to help speed up the process.

Somepage /could/ be wrong but according to them...

Chigoe 62 - 66 Caedarva Mire
Chigoe 72 - 77 Bhaflau Thickets
Chigoe 72 - 77 Wajaom Woodlands

vs

Puck 74-77 Den of Rancor

so... they should be about the same o_o

[Luke]

lol@ Aegis with uncapped shield >.> I lvl'd 60+ as PLD/NIN; hit 75 then capped shield within 2 days in Den of Rancor, solo as PLD/RDM. I imagine you can cap it within a few hours if you have dedicated healers for it.

Anyway... no pictures but my LS finally got the attestation of harmony for relic horn for Ojaru(JP). (Ojaru isn't in my LS but does dynamis with us.) He had everything except rare/ex since at least 4 months ago(when we got his fragment); took that long to win randoms on glacier + get the drop... gogo /random with 3 other LS's sometimes.

So, now Ojaru has relic, maat's cap, ridill (zomg the big 3!) + a mostly complete set of HQ abjurations all crafted himself on his seperate crafting characters (kaiser cuirass, armada hauberk, dalmatica+1 etc) etc etc... only thing he doesn't have is D.ring lol. I'd say he would probably rank in the top 5 or 10 players of all servers but yeah.. I'm interested in seeing if he will keep playing as hard as he does or if he'll quit like some of the others who did when they got "the big 3".

Taru with Aegis = Cute

Taking off all other gear so no one can say anything = WINS

I knew somebody would call me out on it >.<

Here's a little something so people can say stuff!

congratulations Jackyl. So like... SA/SV what have you, how close to the 2nd Excalibur and 3rd Aegis? and why havent ya'll completed a Gjallarhorn? I dont want to the hear the cor+brd arguement

Thanks, nobody is working on another Excalibur for now. The third Aegis is on the final stage but I'm not sure how long it will be; maybe a few months still. As for the horn, we haven't completed the horn simply because nobody has stepped up to the challenge. Since the first Aegis was completed we've changed how the LS helps/supports a relic upgrade, and a member wanting to do a relic will need a lot of gil. :wink:

[Sylphet]

Sylphet - Gjallarhorn - Seraph

9th relic completed in the LS now!

Along with all of BtL and lolDynamis, couldn't have done it without you guys!

Never done it myself personally, so it could be possible. I was basing it off this thread deep in the bowels of BG search though. Specifically on page two Geno says he had trouble capping out on even the Marid spawned chigoes which are the theoretical 72-77 ones as noted by somepage.

Could try the Chigoe NM if you know someone that doesn't have the Mire Map quset done. Just have them zone or log after pop.

I did that on lolbst skilling shield and parry for a little. Wafik was nice enough to come Phalanx 2 and cure me. I was taking about 0-10 damage with phalanx 2 and getting tons of skillups since they take at 100 fist speeds.

IFRIT - MEEEEEEEEEEEE - AEGIS

I figured the uncapped shield + Aegis combo would be unsettling for some people, heh.

When we finished the Aegis on me, I only had 270/276 actual shield skill, so don't let it bother you that much. That being said, my shield skill was capped within like an hour afterwards, went to Dragon's Aery early, and just stopped at the entrance and let spiders hit me. Shield proced so much/reduced the dmg so much that I basically just afked and cure iv'ed once in a while.
