Decided to gear up BLM and take it to 75 next currently lv 42. Should I get an elemental earring for 450k or would morion +1 be more beneficial ranges about 500-600k?

I used Moldy/Elemental Earring until I got Novio. I never really like INT there.

Thanks now I just have to find an elemental earring been waiting for one to pop up on the AH for days and I missed one this morning which sold at like 4:30 am

Where can i lvl BST @ 32? Guides say Kokacola tunnel but all mobs there seem to be dc

The wiki suggests Gusgen at 32, although I'm pretty sure I waited until 33 (32-35 pets at 32 didn't excite me). I highly recommend it; it will help forge you into the solo BST you should strive to become Exping on mobs like bombs in dangerous areas is, IMO, a large part of what makes BST fun in the first place (and I think it's more fun getting it to 75 than being 75). I loved areas like Gusgen and Bost[tab] where you were pretty much guaranteed solitude.

I think I might have stayed in Qufim until 33. Leeches versus each other are not so bad. There's also no shame in mowing down a pack of DC mobs with something stronger once in a while, especially before 35 (and especially not now).

If you have the cash, elemental would certainly be nice at least until you get Wizard's Gloves, after that you may not need the extra skill. Really though, you could just as easily toss on a cunning earring and save a ton of gil.

Obviously you want both but am I imagining or does a crits boost your dmg way more than a double attack?

Double attack has the potential to boost your damage much more since you have another hit that you could get a crit on.

A place to skill up sword (230 skill right now) that is not boyahda or besieged?

Did quadavs in Pashow [S] and worked good, just looking for other places to keep it interesting.

go merit with some friends who'll let you melee on rdm
use joyuese/justice if you got'm.
(assuming rdm from sig)

where's the ephramadian shade camps for ~level66-68 in caedarva mire?

As mentioned before, take the Dvucca Isle staging point and then head SW. You go through a tunnel and come out near a bunch of them there are a couple of camps a little further on in passages. Be careful party members don't run through the water there, an NM can pop...

Couldn't locate this anywhere via /sea.

Does /drk LastResort affect RATT like Berserk does?

Please don't trouble yourself in regards to the application, I just want a verified answer.

Commander's Cape (STR+3, DEX+3) or Smilodon Mantle+1 (STR+5) for Frenetic Rip and Disseverment? I ask because I'm tempted to get a Commander's cape for Hysteric Barrage anyway (Since it's Dex% only vs. DEX+STR)

im gonna be 70 warrior soon enough and i got a joyeuse from my brd, and im trying to avoid getting a jugg as i'll eventually be man/joy at 73

a couple questions i guess:
i) how does kriegsbiel compare to jugg for damage, (kriegs 48 jugg 46 base dmg)
ii) should i just stay gaxe and /sam and use berserkers til 72 or 73

a friend said jugg is offhand only and just go axe/axe

idk lol, skip the joy offhand? can the dreaded jugg be skipped?

for reference i have no axe or swd merits, kriegs i own for rng (1m on my server) and jugg is 2.5+ on my server

[Tajin]

You don't want to go Axe/Sword unless you have merits. No need to buy a Jugg, but please don't use a sword D:

Could always go Gaxe >.>

[Ferien]

The draw to Juggy isn't the base damage, it's the 3 STR and 30 attack. For that, Kriegs doesn't compare.

However, without merits, Axe/Joy will be lackluster and Axe/Axe will still not match up with Great Axe. You're best off just staying WAR/SAM with Gaxe. If you want to use axes, Woodville's at 72 is a decent complement to Maneater (but doesn't match up with Juggernaut).

After Store TP merits, how much store tp + gear does SAM need to get a 6-hit build with a 450 GK?

[Dioma]

Thinking about the HP+10% from Turtle Soup, is it applied when you first use the soup or does it drop even more if you equip gear with even less HP?

Should give you HP+10% based on your current gear/status etc. So equipping HP- gear will bring down how much it adds.

Regarding Axe/Swords, I.R. Pick is a nice one to look at, D:47 Dly:268 Att +10 isn't shabby at all, lvl 71 too.

As for modern Warrior, if I did it all over again, I'd sub /Thf as long as I could, generally about 40 where you just start sucking too much MP. Then go /Dnc when possible, /Nin where not, and /Sam at 70+, and besides my preference for Gaxe anyways, you get free accuracy/attack using one. Hard to argue with, unless you just prefer Axe/Axe or have merits for a DW build.

Or your tank sucks. Or you don't have a tank and bounce hate between all of your melee. Or you don't trust your healer. Or you don't want to be an MP sponge.
