Why would you want to use a Homam Zucchetto?

So you can be 5/4.

[Drex]

Walkure Mask til O-Hat, O-Hat til Walhara Turban, don't use the zucchetto ever

I had heard Sensen (sp?), some Japanese word for "front" or "battle front" or something.

The JP word you're looking for is saizensen. But unless comes in and verifies it as appearing that way in the JP version, SHADOWREIGN.

Actually, I'll stick to Shadowreign regardless of what the Japanese version says. Their Shantotto doesn't rhyme, so they lose. D:

I need to skill up my shield skill pretty bad. Where is a good spot to skill up 225?

Depends on your level and subjob. Crabs in the Tree are solid until maybe 250. After that skillups get slower on everything. I've heard people suggest Puks in the Den of Rancor, but that can be dangerous if you dont have proper support.

The best way to skill up shield or parrying is to just use it in endgame. I capped Shield in Sky on Zip, and I capped parrying while capping my NPC at 70 in the Bay against the dhamals there. In both cases, I wasn't primarily interested in the skillups, they were just a nice bonus. That made the whole process for me much more bearable. Substitute in Sea, Limbus, Einherjar, Salvage, Nyzul, Assaults, or whatever endgame activities you do instead of my examples.

Just a word of warning though. Capping shield isn't that hard, but capping parrying on a first time job is such a pain in the butt. Having capped parrying and shield on PLD is quite nice though. The shield you will come to rely on, and the frequent enough parrying will just be an extra bonus that sometimes surprises you (or screws you on an Utsusemi Ichi recast).

[Tricen]

My parrying is like, 195 atm, so it's not too bad. Lvled it on RDM... somehow... But uhh, yeah, I've been going PLD/RDM on steelshells, which is ok I guess... Kinda slow :/ I'll just have to whore a RDM out for phalanxII goodness D:

I'm oldschool but doesn't PLD/RDM on Pucks work until cap? Once the shield change took place I capped the last 20 levels on RDM main in like 3 hours (little easier on RDM than PLD I imagine, but still)

edit: Sorry missed the post above, but Pucks are right at the zoneline just like steelshells. Whoring out Phalanx II would be complete and total win, you would certainly be hit for almost nothing and be should able to pull all of the 4-5 at the zoneline.

The warnings all over wiki (and from the NPCs in game) tell you not to accept that one unless you are willing to finish it

Is there any rhyme or reason to the order that Healing Waltz removes debuffs, if you have multiple on at once? Thanks.

[Acturus]

If I were wearing full Goliard (MDB+10) and a Jelly Ring (Magic Damage Taken +5%), how would the damage be calculated?

I assume Jelly Ring damage is added first, then the MDB is applied.

[Ultimagi]

Magic Defense Bonus is applied first, to calculate the damage dealt by the attack. The Magic Damage Taken +/-% is applied after, followed by straight reductions such as Phalanx or Stoneskin.
