What would be better:
1)Chaos Roll/Hunter's Roll/March 2x
2)Chaos Roll/Hunter's Roll/Minuet/March
3)Chaos Roll/Fighter's Roll/Minuet/Madrigal
4)Other

Assuming the following : 2h Gaxe War, Ridill WAR, MNK well geared, RDM and they eat meat. Mamools mostly.

I've been thinking over this one for a bit here as I started meriting once again, I like choice #1 generally, but also like #2.

4)Chaos/Corsair/March x2

With a Ridill War and a MNK you are definately going to want either a madrigal or a hunters roll, if they intend to eat meat. I would go Chaos/Corsair/March/Mad

Anyone have that link to the site that tells you what the Item of the day is at your guild?

[Aireiya]

How much Acc does a MNK need w/ merits to eat meat at most merit camps?

perhaps this is what you're looking for.

does overwhelm stack with TA if person used on is still "in front of mob"?

[Malinn]

Yeah, it does.

To anyone who's done a relatively small manned DL(22ish), did your melees /nin?

Titanictus worked awesome for me.

I think our lowest is 18? And no, didn't have any /NINs at all IIRC. Honestly if the DL attempt gets to the point where shadows actually matter when you have a small group of people, odds are it's a failed attempt anyway.

DL living longer than 1m and summoning dragons/not having CS Stun means a wipe will usually follow shortly even with larger groups. Same applies if an Oblivion Smash gets through.

Are y\y time based? If so is it smarter to just bum rush him or to have someone pull him back and mages on top the ledge, we'll only have about 2\3 blms so I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to do the latter

Any tips on how I can get my NPC to wear the Shinobi Gi outfit? I've been leveling up in Gustaberg lately to try to get it, but I haven't been able to get past the Kenpogi set without it resetting to something else.

[izembo]

it'll depend on what mobs you kill there as well, there was a bunch of tests on this where the crystal drop or something or the sort also plays a determining factor.

90 seconds from when DL is first engaged (i validated this myself a bit ago,) however they always spawn at the gate, so if you're a distance away, kiting to you is a factor. still, if you're pulling it away from the bridge, you're pulling it to the cliff giving y/y a quick and easy way to get to your mages and munch them, so you won't necessarially get back what you lose. if you were crazy enough to pull it to the dragon cliff though, then the kiting might be of some value.

Pulled it to that cliff once looooong ago, all went well until he split and 1 copy appeared up top raping all the mages, while he stayed below raping everyone else.

the best i can discern, when he splits (and i think this may be true of y/y, but don't quote me on that.) he picks the top 3 targets on his hate list and pops 1 copy next to #2 and #3 with him still standing at #1. i remember one time when he summoned 1 copy of himself below to join his original bad self, and the other copy popped up at the mages. alpha strike make alliance go boom all at once. i suspect if you could keep hate below more readily it might work, and it's something i'd always wanted to try, but i'd never been able to convince my LS to stake a DL run on it. DL's actually remarkably easy to pull. one time after a wipe, one of our smns decided to see how far he could get with it by sicing titan (w/ earthen ward up) on DL then running in the opposite direction. he got down a couple cliffs before titan got punked, and was able to make it a very large distance before he stopped to see if it was coming and got his ass handed to him.

Does maitnence effect Guild item? So like say today was Leather Gorget, when servers come back up, does it change?

There's a guide that I found quite helpful on the (boo hiss) Wiki:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Adven ... _Equipment

I found sticking to the supposed crystal of that nation quite useful. I.e. for Windurst gear only kill mobs that drop Water crystals (Pugs in Giddeus or crabs anywhere else that's under Windy control really). If you're doing this in Gustaberg for Bastok gear I suggest trying only killing Saplings or Sheep (earth crystal dropping mobs) and definitely lock all other armour pieces except the one you want to change and do them one at a time.

1. If you auction a Tredecim Scythe, does it still keep its memory?

2. If you have a lvl 75 thf in a 40 cap zone, dead, does TH2 kick in because dead characters revert back to their normal level?

3. Has anyone tested what damage type throwing weapons are? Chakrams and tathlums being piercing doesn't make a lot of sense.

[Amele]

1. If you auction a Tredecim Scythe, does it still keep its memory?

I highly doubt it. I'm fairly certain that items get 'reinitialized' when you get them from the AH.

2. If you have a lvl 75 thf in a 40 cap zone, dead, does TH2 kick in because dead characters revert back to their normal level?

would depend on if TH works while a character is dead (and how you'd test this I have no idea) but it's entirely possible.

As a BLU, is it worth NQing a couple pieces of gear (Prince's Slops, Akinji Bazubands (waiting for points/drops for Homam)) to buy ABCs for a Brutal Earring? I only use these pieces for WS and CA-Spell anyway, as I TP in Dusk Gloves and Nashira Seraweels (2% Haste, once again, till Homam).
