[Wakabo]

there a cap to it?

there a cap to it?

I don't know, and I don't know if it has been tested.

But I would assume it would be 50%.

[Wakabo]

Ok ty :3


Random question again~

lvl 72 mnk right now in a pt with 75's. One just happens to be relic rng that I didnt know had relic, how much do I win?

[Cream Soda]

Not very much? Lolrng in merit pt.

[arshesney]

I can solo Eraser on SAM/WHM with 2hour easily (whm for diaga to remove blink if it pops with it), and even easier without 2hour when i dual box my RDM alt.

Planning to move on to the turtle in VoS for some magey equips, will I run into any trouble at all compared to Eraser?

Turtle can also pop with undispellable Ice Spikes, definitely worth bringing RDM alt (it is also easy to bind/grav just in case things gets hairy)

[Maguile]

I know its been asked to death, but how much sTP needed for a 6-hit with a 501 scythe?

Moliones set beats Tred right? And Perdu beats both? Even with 8/8 scythe merits?

And where does Death+1 fit in all this?

[Tirrock]

I know its been asked to death, but how much sTP needed for a 6-hit with a 501 scythe??

/SAM + 8 store TP, or 23 store TP total.

FFXI calculator is awesome, Statistics tab > Delay tab has all you need to know for haste/store TP.

Edit: Totally forgot to add in the TP from guillotine, go with answer the guy below me gave. >_>

[Raen Ryong]

+21 if you want to land 3/4+ hits of Guillotine/Insurgency works~

Perdu generally always beats Moliones' (remember you can use Blitz Ring/Forager's Mantle/Walahra Turban/"stronger" food sometimes if accuracy is too high) though there is a small niche for Moliones', and Moliones' is always better than a 528 Scythe.

Best case scenario for Death +1, it is approximately equal to Perdu Sickle. Most of the time, it is below either Moliones' or Perdu.

[Shinryuu]

528 scythes shine if you can make a 5-hit, though. It's a shame Apocalypse isn't 528.

Is there a program which can be used for more user-friendly macro editing off-line? I know there used to be at least one, but I can't remember what it was and I can't find it on the windower.net forum. I'd like to revamp the macro sets for most of my jobs, but using the in-game editing system would take me several hours.

Yeah, I agree with that. If you could get a Store TP augment on an Ori Scythe or Death Scythe it would be rather amazing.

[Shinryuu]

Orich only, you'll be hurting for ACC more easily.

[Khajit]

WHat were the 4 ws gorgets that could cover all of the "good" ws again? I think it covered all of em except for penta.

[Max™]

Snow Breeze Aqua Flame I think.

[Bakthi]

Since you asked, I shall once again pimp my very ugly chart:

Sea Gorgets

(should be correct still, unless something has changed or the wiki was wrong).

As shown, if you have soil/snow/breeze, you can get either flame or light. I got light because I had already farmed most of the organs, plus it lets me carry just one gorget on COR (which is why the light column is there in the first place). YMMV.

Linkshell DarkMystics on FFXI Sylph

Thanks, FFXIME should do the trick.

[Miroku_Asura]

If I use Manifestation + Absorb-Mnd/Vit on a load of mobs (see- Dynamis) would I receive the +18 boost from each mob or would they overwrite each other?

[Argettio]

+21 if you want to land 3/4+ hits of Guillotine/Insurgency works~

You can drop to 20sTP (/SAM + rose + brutal) and still hold your 6 hit with 3/4 hits.

22sTP if you don't trust your acc and can only land 2/4 hits.

[Argettio]

Excuse the double post,

I did some sky last night (1 Genbu, 1 Seiryu and 2 Suzaku), and it was the first time I have had chance to try out BLM since getting my Sorcerer's Petasos.

And I wasn't that pleased, my resist rate still seemed too high for my liking.

BLM/RDM
2/5 INT merits (working on capping these slowly)
8/8 Elemental merits
7INT food
(329 skill, 116INT [339 skill, 121 INT with Ice])

I assuming more INT would help? (Second INT ring, AF+1 hands, 5INT back)
What do the more experienced BLM think?
