Yeah, I've seen the Fellow Armour drop from Nightmare Taurus in Dynamis-Tavnazia

Kaope: Questions:
2) Sam/Rng may be good, depends on which HNM, usually lower level HNM's(like Simurgh). On higher level HNM(Sky/Gods) Sam/Thf blows everything else out of the water.

shit is situational. if you can melee straight up sam/war will be the better combo against harder hnms assuming you can keep your pdif out of the basement and control your hate enough to not get eaten (heavily dependent on tank quality).

if you need to to crit just to crack your weapon D in per hit damage, then sam/thf is gonna be your go to sub.

sam/rng is excellent in many other endgame activities (salvage/limbus/dynamis etc.), although that's a bit beyond the scope of the original question I guess. although sam/rng works well on sky and some sea; it's not typically as useful in ground.

Discussion in my current lowbie pt. Can you skill up off a counter?

[aurik]

skill up what? h2h? doubtful.

[Lexa]

Anything. The WAR/MNK in our pt wanted to tank to skill up Axe. He said it'd help to tank, because he had Counter.

[Ashael]

Lowbie party? How low?
If the 30 range, the War/Mnk is probably your best tank, forget skill ups, just tell him to use GAX and laugh.

[Amele]

haven't skilled up yet with counter from seigan/gear but I suppose it's possible the trait could be different. and a negative result is not the same as negative proof.

[Lexa]

Lvl37 party.

[aurik]

You can skill up defensive skills (albeit very rarely) on a counter, but not offensive ones that I know of.

[Kirschy]

I'm pretti sure I've skilled up a parry on a counter before. It's possible the log was messed up... although it seemed fairly clear my attack never went off, I didn't parry a normal attack round, and recieved a parry skill up. I also noticed Dread Spikes works when you are countered.

How many maps are there?

I'm trying to get all the maps. I thought I read somewhere (that I can't find now) that there are 75 map key items you can get. Right now I have 67 and I can think of 7 that I am missing. That is only 74 though. Anyone know how many there are?

[Tirrock]

Wiki says 75 maps.

I guess in order to get every map in the game, I'm going to have to do Ballista >.>

Behemoth Knife+1 or Jambija for THF mainhand?

You can just enter and leave, takes no time at all.

[moguri]

Behemoth Knife+1 or Jambija for THF mainhand?

Behemoth knife +1, trading 1 base dmg for 10 attack sounds good to me.

[NynJa]

Blau Dolch would be better than both personally, though I'm not sure how accessible they are on asura.

Another question on taru NIN gear: Use the federation tekko and federation kyahan for the att.? or use taru RSE which gives +2 or +3 STR each?

[Calais~]

An Idolater can be defined as one who blindly or excessively admires or adores another. There's a quest where you see how Qutrub come to be, which would explain why they excessively admire/adore Lamia.

What quest is this?

Another question on taru NIN gear: Use the federation tekko and federation kyahan for the att.? or use taru RSE which gives +2 or +3 STR each?

Federation gear will provide better DD, but honestly the HP would be nice on the RSE. i guess it depends on how good your pt is.

good healers = federation
bad pt = taru rse
