I would like suggestions from Taru Blm for capping stoneskin.

[Pindle]

I'm trying to negate my dependency on the Errant body, as I hate how it looks and would welcome not having to use it anymore. With my whopping 200 enhancing skill, I need 114 total Mnd to cap Stoneskin, and I just hit that with my current set, so I need to find a way to spread 10 Mnd throughout all my equipment slots.

My current Stoneskin gear is as follows:

Kirin's Pole
Bugard strap +1
Zenith Crown
Morgana's Choker
Errant Hpl.
Yigit Gages
Prism Cape
Penitent's Rope
Mahatma Slops
Goliard Clogs

If there's anything you know of that you don't see here, feel free to flag it for me.

Rings

...

Ok, your point? I'm not looking to gimp myself for the sake of aesthetics.

Rings

Ah, yes. I had forgotten about getting rings. Thanks.

[Tormentormike]

Just .dat swap that shit away. I wear errant only for stoneskin, I can look away for all of the 5 seconds it takes to cast.

Devotee's Mitts +1 (6)> Yigit(5)
Ixion Cape (5) > Prism (4)
Communion or Star Earrings (2) > Nothing
Couple Aqua/Communion Rings (10) > Nothing
Morrigan's Pigaches (10) > Mahatma Pigaches (6) > Errant Pigaches (5) > Goliard (4)
Morrigan's Slops (10) > Mahatma Slops (8)

Yigit Turban is 1 mnd more than Zenith Crown.

[Kroot]

do a power search in ffxiah.com put mnd in description field, check blm, filter level descending, and then isolate one slot at a time. crtl+f enter mnd+1 mnd+2 mnd+3 till you get your max for the slot

This. Or you could check each slot you're looking to maximise.

[Xanthu]

Get a morrigan's body and don't care about the 2 MND lost

[Ashira]

mithras have the same base MND as Taru, as a 75 BLM/RDM, i need +55 MND to cap Stoneskin. Looking up my macros.... It's about the most efficient way I can set it up at this point, inventory wise.

Kirin's Pole
Yigit Turban
Errant Hpl.
Mahatma Slops
Yigit Gages
Witch Sash/Peni Rope
Ixion Cape
Balrahn's Ring
Bugard Strap +1
Tamas Ring


Don't even need Yigit Crackows in there, though that's an option, and I carry them anyway... I think when I remade the set I went top down... and prefer to keep gaiters on if i have to stop and run while casting anyway or something.

My point is.... you're better off inventory wise to keep the Errant Body around.

Do what I'm doing and work towards a super hMP set, and then get Mahatma Hpl anyway.

Would it be worth investing in 10 more enhancing skill in the form of torque and earring?

In all honesty, errant is too useful - suck it up.

[arshesney]

Not really, because 3 skill = 1 MND for Stoneskin.

If you really want to get rid of houppelande you need rings with the setup you posted. To get 10 MND you're looking at 2x Aqua or 2x Communion or 2x Sapphire and a Communion earring.

I cant carry my hMP stuff because i need other things for events i only make room for it if i'm soloing on blm

[Ultimagi]

Goliard Chapeau
Aslan Cape

What do you need that doesn't let you bring an hMP set? (Serious question).

What about outside of Assault?

[Corwen]

For my taru BLM mule, I use the following for capped stoneskin macro:

Kirin's Pole (10)
Bugard Strap +1 (1)
Morrigan's Coronal (4)
Morrigan's Robe (8)
Yigit Gages (5)
Tamas Ring (5)
Ixion Cape (5)
Witch Sash (5)
Mahatma Slops (8)
Goliard Clogs (4)

Total: 59 (base) + 55 = 114 (capped)

Yes, there are things that give more MND in a given slot than listed above (such as errant body), but my plan is to be as efficient with my inventory space as possible. With the exception of kirin's pole, everything else mentioned above is used in things other than stoneskin as well so I'm basically only sacrificing 1 additional space to maintain a capped stoneskin. I don't use errant body because I use AF1+1 body for enfeebling skill and the hMP+5.

[Ashira]

hmm... lol thanks, my macro's messed up. -.-

Yigit Crackows go, no more gaiters and running if needed! bound to happen when I've had to rewrite macros umpteen times in the last 4 months.

[Kupo-lox]

I need to cap out my SS set up. Taru blm's are to squishy.

[Babekeke]

AF+1 feet are nice for stoneskin, especially if you're being hit at the time. 20% interrupt rate down could save your life o.0
And it has 5 MND, better/equal than all but morrigan iirc?
