STR

[Datonare]

Thanks

DEX gives you more of an overall increase in damage than STR on any job where accuracy isn't capped.

When a mob has a move that does damage and add a status effect on you. Do you get hit with the status effect first and then take the damage or the other way around?

For example, those Mamool pld when they use Blazing Angon. Would I get hit with the defense down first and then the damage causing me extra damage?

Magic Accuracy +2 vs. Dark Magic Skill +3 for dark magic spells.

I was asking because I just got a MACC +2 earring from doing ACP 7, and I can't really think of anything to use it for between DRK and RDM. Any advice?

[Thorny]

skl earring+loq usually best
could use skill earring+macc for bind grav sleep

Why is Jinpu stronger on Windsday as opposed to other elemental weapon skills matching their days? >_> I keep seeing people bust out 1k+ on Windsday and nowhere near that on other days lol.

This is probably stupid, but it's all I got; I personally capped evasion on THFs using Sea Puks. I'd zone into Jade Sepulcher when I was low on hp and basically just let em beat on me. As PLD/DNC or something you could probably solo them, or at the very least stay alive quite a while... they attack reasonably fast, so it's a big reason I picked them.

Anyway, I'm sure there's better, just throwing out a possibility.

Den of Rancor Pucks, mandragora-type monsters, by the entrance where Woodland Sage pops in Yhoator Jungle.

Superior to most other things, especially if you have an RDM sub available.
(Helpful Hint: Aquaveil makes it easier.)

My dyna shell instituted a "policy" in Tavnazia, where any AF that gets auto-sorted results in -20 points (equivalent to 4 runs worth of points) Somewhat common rule or is the person who came up with it a fucking moron?

[Jeryhn]

Fucking moron, because AF doesn't drop in Tavnazia.

Moron, autosorted gear should be worth the same as if someone lotted it. The piece doesn't become any less useful just because nobody asks for it. Plus having a lower cost or no cost for autosorted AF creates a disincentive to pass them as soon as they drop if someone doesn't want them enough to pay full points, which down the line oftens creates an issue in Dynamis with people d/cing or stuff dropping right at the end.

[Argettio]

Auto-sorted items in my shell cost the same as lotting the item. Which for our shell in Tav means: The lvl74-75 items cost 4 Points (4 runs worth) and -1 Legs/body cost 5 points (5 runs worth) no matter how the item is obtained.

You didn't say if 20 points is more or less than the cost to some one who wants the item so lots and obtains the drop the 'normal' way.

If a Tav item normally costs 20 points, then I would say its a rule you have in common with us at least.
