Bonnacon can pop off any of the buffalo in the pop area ?

question came up once before, I think.

ah, yeah it did: http://bluegartr.com/forum/viewtopic...672249#p672249

start there and read the latter half of the page.

the short version is 'maybe'.

I know this is probably a dumb question but for Galka BRD:

Vermy Cloak or Serket Ring worth it?

Right now @59 have about 320ish MP with Rolanberry Pie.

Rings I use now Astral/Ether.
RSE Body, Nobles Ribbon.

serket isn't bad, but it's also fairly expensive. if you're feeling ritzy, go for it, but the chances you're going to need the extra MP over an ether isn't that high. as for the vermy, absolutely. MP only functions as a buffer, it's very literally a pool to draw from. if you never scrape the bottom or fill up completely, MP gear is wasted. refresh, on the other hand, enhances your endurance, your ability to KEEP that MP pool from degrading. having an additional refresh tick can easily make the difference between you getting that cure3 off to save your tank from your brain damaged whm and from him eating pavement. the short answer to your question is yes, both are good, the longer answer is that serket's more of a luxury good while vermy is, while not essential, very much more valuable, imo.

I have bard and red mage final artifact quests open.

If I talk to the Galka in Upper Jeuno, which artifact hands quest will this open?

The job you are using to talk him. Was always like that, doesnt really matter what previous AF mission you did, as long you completed the weapon and started the 2nd.

Did you complete the Boghertz quest for BRD and RDM? You can leave other AF quests open, but to get the Boghertz quest for other jobs you can't have it open on another job.

ex: I still have BRD body quest open (and completed hands), but when I get PLD high enough, I'll get the Boghertz quest for PLD hands.

Is that clear? I may have confused myself here

[Obev]

I've completed them both previously. I'm re-questing Red Mage hat and Bard legs to store the sets again, as I now have them +1'd.

[Secksi]

Anyone ever find Birdman Cape or Ravin Raven? I always theorized he was a lotto pop off one of the Bhoot at Periqia, but I could never get people out there, and the one time I did I was perditioned very quickly and only a whm with me. This was a linkshell ago though, and I haven't tried in ages.

Anyway, has anyone ever killed the 2 or 3 over and over that pop there to see if maybe it pops? If not I might get some people out there and try again.

What's the right sub for my soon to be 50 (48 and a half right now) Samurai? I got a soboro the other day and was reading the Ringthree3 thread about Brutal Earring. Do I continue with /thf even though Warrior finally gets double attack at sam50/war25? Should I be using /drg for Jumps?

I'm too poor to be /rng I'm afraid.

Thanks. I assume at 60 I'll go back to /thf for SATA, so it's really just 50-59 I'm worried about.

I personally always -hated- /THF. Double Attack, Berserk, Defender are such great JA that I didn't want to lose them for SA and TA.

I'd suggest going /WAR all the way to 75.

Sub WAR.

Enpi/Jinpu are pretty lame, and the fact that you are using soboro makes them even weaker. With that in mind, the name of the game is DoT, and Berserk is the best way to augment that. And even if you want to argue that Double Attack JT will somehow hurt Soboro performance, don't forget that the Soboro multi-hit won't proc on weapon skills but the JT does. Subbing THF just isn't worth it.

Prepatch I took SAM/WAR 50-72 with Soboro and I outparsed every single person I came up against, with the exception of another Soboro-wielder who happened to have better gear than I did. Its a lot of fun

please correct me if i'm wrong, i'm not a melee so it's very plausible, but when subbing thf, isn't the only effect of SA to force the next hit to crit? from what i've read on the boards here, it seems like normal hits are pushing well and good into the crit range, making SA almost obsolete, assuming the nerf bat doesn't hit too hard when it comes. as such, there would be very little reason at all to sub thf on sam, even at the lower lvl range, since things like attack boost and berserk from /war would be so attractive.

I read the same, but even eating Chiefkabobs and with as much +attack gear as I can possibly attain (including Okotes, republic sub, walkure mask, earrings, swordbelt+1, hasso, etc) I still see Tachi:enpi (no SA) do 180avg on ITs and with 120-180TP Sneak Attacks I see 390-483 on Enpi. That was off last night's parse at 47-48 against Rumble Crawlers.

/thf is a horrible sub for soboro sam (but you can get away with it at 50 because soboro still does good per hit damage)

you will be weaponskilling really frequently and hitting a lot with a soboro - so increasing the damage you do every single hit (with /war) will significantly outweigh the (still 1/min) crit bonus to enpi/jinpu.

personally, I've been using sam/nin since the update, but that may not be entirely necessary at 50.

grats on the soboro though talisien^^

Thanks Amele^^ Got it at the cost of a 7 hour camp and enough drama bombs to start a third world war, but it was worth it.

I've been considering /nin now when I don't get a group with a Pally, but I've been lucky enough to have a RDM + WHM in most of my parties, so I just soak up the extra healing. I'll have to see what my gear translates soboro into (only missing Voyager sallet I think, though once I hit 60 my gear will turn crappy again (need a swift belt)). I can tank once my SA WS goes off since the mob is at 30% after bursts, but with Soboro if I'm firing off at 100 10 seconds into the fight, I'm gonna be tanking the whole way home.
