Got my Rogue Armlets+1 today and seeing how they have the same +Dex as Custom M Gloves I was wondering if it would be at all worthwhile to continue using the Gloves for Sneak Attack. The only thing they have over the Armlets+1 is +3 STR.
Would the +STR warrant using them in my SA-Only Macro or is any boost it provides boost so negligable that I can save one inventory slot and use the Armlets in my SA macro instead?


On the same note, Dragon leggings go from 20-30k on Asura, whereas Marine M Boots go for around 500k last I checked. The Marine boots offer +3 STR for the loss of one AGI over the leggings. Would it beneficial to buy the Marine M Boots over the Leggings from a THF point of view?

I intend to level RNG eventually and the Boots would act as a long-term investment as I would likely use them on RNG, but I don't know how long it would take to get my currently 46 RNG to that point considering the cost of ammo per level and my relatively low Gil income.

Both questions regard SA, TA, and WS macros. TP in War Gloves+AF2 Feet since I got no Homam
Edit: Forgot to mention that I currently use Rutters for SA,TA and WS since they were free.

When does SMN gear actually take effect? Like if I have my avatar summoned and I put on all the stat boosts to avatars do I get them then? or is it calculated at the time of summoning?

When are BP statistics calculated? Like, can I wear -bp gear hit the BP, then switch to stat boosting gear?

Anyway, do people actually buy H.Q. organs from Sea if you bazaar them? If so, what's the going rate for them?

The H.Q. Organs for Tier II jailers are easy enough to just farm on the spot if you need one. The H.Q. Aern Organs I could see being sold to BLMs who duo/trio for that cape, not sure on price, not too hard to farm. H.Q. Flower Organs might sell depending on how often a LS pops Faith.

34 mnk, what ws should I be using?

[evilpaul]

Combo or Backhand Blow if you have the latter already...I don't remember exactly and had merits.

Backhand Blow seemed to need a lot of attack (and to crit) to put up good numbers, so I used that when Berserk was up (and ate Rice Dumplings for food), and used Combo while Focus was up.

Is Ix'DRG always this lame to pop? Been up here with another BLM friend clearing both north rooms consistently, and it's at least been a cumulative 5 hours without pop.

Meaning non-consecutive? if so then that could be the issue, otherwise yea he is a bitch.

Meant over the period of a couple days, like, a couple today, couple yesterday.

Does status bolts\spartan bullets play any sort role in a mob's accumulating resists?

Do I ever have a chance at selling my Deed of Placidity? I don't really have/do any sea that would require it. Can I make money or should I just store this...uh... thing.

[aurik]

Offer to trade it for HQ aern organs to sea-faring LSes. For ones that are actually trying to pop JoL, you just saved them a bunch of footwork.
