Does anyone have or know where to find the update notes for the RNG Nerf patch few years back?

I Just got my set 2nd of BLM AF+1 pieces. I have Hat, but having a hard time choosing between Body, and Hands. Which would be better to upgrade?

You'll be using the body a whole lot more if you have Zenith or Morrigan's Cuffs than you would the hands, although I would also say if your LS does a shitton of Sky gods, Ouryu, Tiamat, etc. etc. the hands would probably be more beneficial to you. If not, do the body, extra enfeeb skill helps a lot for solo/lowman activities.

[Deader2818]

Well, we do Sky gods once a week. Don't do any HNMs, and just starting up doing Ouryu, have 3 this sunday coming up actually.

Its really a hard choice, I have Cape, Nashira feet and Head so maybe I can get away with those and not use hands. I Have Zenith hands as well.

body if you solo exp or enfeeblable NMs/do dynamis a lot on blm

hands if you fight wyrms etc a lot, or any situation you would use af hands

in other words weigh up the 2

ps die, my last blm temenos piece was ~9 months ago ; ;

[Deader2818]

Believe me, I know how you feel. I waited about 6 months as well for this.

I Lost one because my friend took me to limbus and for some reason, didn't lot it for me when I dropped. I lost a 2nd one when I went with a pick up group. I lotted a 964, and he lotted a 970. LOL

[Liseth]

Based upon what you've said I'd go with the hands. Don't bother nuking in M.acc stuff, you'll be gimping your damage taking up three slots on M.acc.

[Deader2818]

Well, I meant Relic Head.

Honestly, I dunno anymore, every LS ive been in before wanted me BLM for everything, this LS actually likes me on COR most of the time and Ranger when we have another cor present. Who knows if ill even be BLM for Ouryus now, XD

[Amastacia]

nin solo

I only use my nin for solo/duo/low-man stuff, where I'll have at most one brd and generally no cor. Given that, any point in getting af+1 hands for WS, if I already have o. kotes?

In any reasonable situation, Ninja Tekko +1 provide slightly more damage than O. Kote or B. Kote.

BLM was so rare in my group too.

Spoiler: show

Only took about 2 months for everything. :D

why would you even waste the coins upgrading feet? >.>

[Tormentormike]

Didn't have Numerist Pumps at the time, gotta get them white boxes.

I toss 'em in my sleep macro as well. I want to use them for something now. >_>

[Aurara]

anyone able to give me a decent magic-% gear setup for rdm?
i assume Coral(+1)body/hands/legs/feet mermans earring/ring and resentment cape. but what about for neck/waist/weapon? i saw in the duo of ks99 behe, the rdm swapped to a staff i didnt recognize w/e he got hit with meteor.

[Drex]

weapon: kebbie
waist: lieutenant's sash

[Aurara]

also, should i bother buying all the +1's for now? or hold off until im sure ll be using it often?(most ill be using it for is possible ks99 wyrm tank or soloing mobs who cast strong magic)

[Wulfgang]

PS Wall of Justice for Yovras is amazing, thanks for the walkthrough. Boxed the RDM at the Mea zone, pulled to wall, killed with SCH and BLM in ~8-10 minutes. I think the only way you could get flagged for this is if someone really went out of their way to report you. We did a few Yovra organs between jailers.

Both are excellent, if you do Dynamis/Solo a lot then body otherwise if you do HNM I'd go hands. You'll want both. I went Hat > Hands > Body and I use my body far more often but we don't really do anything *that* tough yet.

[Aurara]

i did Hands>Hat>body

Scholar soloing question:

Puddings at Mt Z are usually taken, so I've been trying to think of other mobs/camps I could try. I've heard some things about Wamoura Princes being an alternate to puddings. Has anyone tried these on Scholar? Input from Black Mages would help too.

[Aurara]

eh, i would just do aerns in garden/palace if you have that. much easier imo. wamoura princes are decent xp, but i just dont like the general are if shit hits the fan :X

[Kaelen]

Aerns sound ok too, but my main concern is their reraising. Just sleep/zone if I need to?
