Seriously though, why the magic slot :/. Headbutt soloing gooooo~

Thanks to Mac/Khiin for helping me etch it over and over, at least 3rd "non-HQ" slot turned out high this time!

Should've left last slot open for future.

You can override the evolith in whatever slot you chose, so as long as it's water-based I can just write over it. If it's not and the last slot proves to be that valuable I'll just wipe it and start over, it's not that hard to farm the evoliths (although I was lucky and can't say I love the idea of refarming it, so that last slot would have to be pretty impressive... which I doubt at this point). If some day they throw in a 'healing breath potency' evo that will fit in that last slot, sure, I'll consider redoing it. But by that point maybe they'll let you wipe a specific slot or change an element with pigment type items, etc

To reinforce Mac's point- the most important thing is to HQ the first two slots, the magic slots are a wash at this point for things like spear. However, if you're going to socket anything and not wait indefinitely for the system to be expanded, you might as well throw something in the last slot since you'll have to resocket it on an element change / non-HQ anyway.

You're missing out on valuable dkp!

Nvm.

I hate you guys, there's no H2H weapon ;_;

Is it known which aptant you use to synergise alongside Ebon gloves to get Shikkoku kote? I've camped the wiki this past week and searched everywhere but nothing.

[Thiefami]

Aptant ishis

[Malacite]

That's one sexy polearm.... last slot is kinda wonky though?

Very wonky- it's too bad the final slot is open triangle, which means you're only going to be able to put 'magic' evoliths in its slot. My only relevant options for drg were either blu acc + or conserve mp on enhancing spells... hey, maybe sometime I'll land an important headbutt

[Havok]

can you get skillups when using the special abilities given by smocks/cuffs?

[macross]

Think so.
Don't think can skill up on recycle, but never tried lol.
Can skill on thwack if it's currently exploding.

ya, I got a .2 off using my WW smock's ability when skilling on nuggets around 46-48.

All of the Shikkoku items will require Aptant: Ishis to convert from Ebon. To desynth Shikkoku to Ebon, you will need Aptant: Arkhe. Good luck on that Aptant, I'm personally 0/10 on Aqrabamelu and 0/3 on Cactuar Corrido.

Can you turn Ebon Harness into Ebur harness and then synth the Ebur harness into an Ebur body piece? Or do you have to synth the Ebon into an Ebon body piece and then use pigment?

[Shamaya]

I think you would have to convert i back to ebon, mazmaz. But I'm not sure. If someone here happens to get an ebur, try upgrading furia directly to ebur as well. I don't think it would work but it'd be nice to verify I guess.

I've upgraded all 5 of my pieces so far but with th4 the drop rate was a bitch at frist. 1/9 and then after that maybe about 1/3. I seem to be about 1/3 on Furia pigments.

Just saw some JP's kill Oupire (the JP community seems to be all over the new stuff), but they would not sell me the pigment

Man, we had like 4 people sitting and camping Tiffenotte earlier today for pigments along with campers at Jenglot and Oupire. Combine this with the tons of ebon gear running about and sitting in front of synergy furnaces and id have to agree with the "JP love this" sentiment.

[Staren]

Ok stupid question but has anyone seen a filled diamond on an armor peice? Seems really stupid that theres no aern weapon for monks and all the lower weapons are worthless at 75 for that high of an evolith to be useful.

Edit:
So the body cant hold the diamond filled evolith like I was hoping but really what does SE expect a monk a sam or a pup to use the upwards unfilled triangle for. The only thing I can think of is to use it to get emnity for casting utsu on yourself since theres no recast - and you dont need/want accuracy for that. SE should have given these jobs the diamond filled slot seeing as they're all melee classes and not mage classes. I hope they fix this in an update or something I seriously am kind of at a loss as to what to use the third slot for. Gogo arrapago remnants body for my monk acc+/atk+ vs undead and emnity on usu. Seriously fail on the magic slot we really should get to choose what shaped slots we get just make the synergy for it difficult if you're worried about breaking the game.

I spend my whole yesterday farming Ebon Pigments and went:
2/10 no drop w. TH4
6/10 Furia Pigment w. TH4
2/10 Ebon Pigement w. TH4

Only to find out you don't need Ebon Pigment to turn Furia stuff into Ebur stuff.

All that is required is that you use a revenant to remove slots and evolites.

Once its back to a basic Furia equipment piece without any evo slots then you can use that with a Ebur Pigment and turn it into Ebur gear.

So now I have 2 Ebon Pigments just sitting in my mog locker lol ;;

Oh and on an Apetant note, Im currently 3/30 on Ishis and 12/30 on Tachus with TH4 so droprates on apetants not to mention repop timer and competition makes all of this more and more of a pain...

[Shin Volcano]

It's mainly jps all over this stuff, Tiffe and pease where bascialy camped like HNMs, i could swear i thought they put Nidhogg in west sarabuta S, same with jenglot.

We had a JP here, forcefully despawning Oupire anytime anyone tried to come fight him, which was a pain in the ass. they are taking this more serious then i thought.
