Colibri - eat nothing, maybe mithkabobs
everything else -
DD build - tav taco or bream/dorado sushi (varies by camp - overhunting = taco, quick chain = sushi)
Turtle - tav taco

Erucas maybe carbonara, since they have a habbit of 1 shotting some PLD. Imps sushi is great with a DD build.

I never went through the ToAU areas exping pld, back in the day it was Tree, Den of rancor to sky. Bibiki bay in there too when it came out.

If you use an xp scroll in toau areas, why does it not give you imperial standing?

Do you get CP if you use it old areas? <_<

What's point of getting exp scrolls anymore? Won't you just get more exp for participating in campaign in about the same amount of time?

edit: Forgot to mention that i meant through the escort quests and stuff. Not through dynamis and einherjar

When they let me use Exp scrolls for Limit points, or I get frustrated enough with Dancer to go do em, I'll worry about em again.

Right now Dancer is fun, and Campaign gives limits, so I haven't done my normal scroll run in a couple weeks.

perhaps to use the scrolls on a low lv job?

You can also use it as a cheap elixir if you're under 700 tnl for Maat fights, solo enm, etc.

Miratete's Memoirs is level 20, and the lower limit for exp in Campaign Ops is 10. I don't remember if a limit was mentioned for Campaign Battle, but I would assume that's level 10 also. So you could actually get exp sooner from WotG areas than exp scroll quests, assuming you can figure out a way to build up points on a level 10 character in Campaign Battle (can just buy reraisers with AN). This is something I've been meaning to test.

What's the lowest level character anyone has taken to Campaign Battle, and how well did you do, rewards-wise?

My Bst friend said Blu spell spamming gets him more points than meleeing on Bst does.

75 lolBst, 60 Blu.

what is the cap on -physical damage taken gear ?

[Naramaska]

what is the cap on -physical damage taken gear ?

-50%


Keep in mind: most of the values on equipment are rounded. FFXI works these in 256ths, so "20%" reduction on Earth Staff is really probably 51/256, meaning you'd be sliiiiiightly under the actual -50% cap with "-50%" in gear.

increasingly, it looks like it's actually 512'ths (haste is definitely 512's for instance). although beyond that your logic is the same. (earth staff is probably 102/512 for instance)

my question: is -damage gear treated as -phys and -magic damage gear for the purposes of damage reduction caps? (obviously there isn't enough -damage gear to test the independent cap of the stat yet)

It counts as both and doesn't go beyond the pre-established cap for both. D ring's "damage -10%" doesn't reduce beyond shell 5 and aegis's "magic damage %-", for instance.

Personal experience, Aerns.

(Where in Norfolk are you? My parents retired to the coast in Norfolk.)

SE is more retarded for not making more places for BLMs to get good exp (and take 30 seconds to get to).

To Keria:
It depends on the scenario, if the wtf-kind-of-set-up-is-that-freaking-retard-trying-to-build pt was there 1st, and the BLM got there 2nd and still decide to camp there, the BLM is retarded. If the BLM is there 1st, and that wth party came 2nd, the wth party is retarded to camp there, as there are better camp even for that wth setup, so why kill the EXP of someone already camping there when they could get something better? For example: D-A-H-A-K.

On a side note, anyone who go with a party of more than 3 people on flan for merit is the most retarded. Flan is a solo-small party camp, anyone needing a full party to merit there really need to get TFO.

And to Acorn... Word. Let's hope WotG offer some nice manaburn camps.
