What's Better?

[takethistoyourgrave]

For THF:

Adder Jambiya/Blau Dolche vs. Blau Dolche/Sirocco Kukri.

Curious which DW is better all-around. Assume maxed feint merits and no Thallasocrat/etc in PT.

[Cream Soda]

I'd say blau/sirocco 2handers should be fine.


Edit: Initial response was thief's knife, but trolling/ban, ect

[Thorny]

also, I have no idea how you find 11% and 8%? turban+swift belt+fumas=12%.

it's stephano, pretty sure he has headlong

Yeah it is, not surprising but I got the shit end of yet another swift belt run two days ago. I'm tempted to just wait until the CoP level cap is released and fucking solo it.

[Juravial]

Stephano, you should really consider bsting that thing up. All it takes is 2 bsts with some charmed eyeball pets and we easily took out the taru one every time (he has loldefense and as long as you keep him in the room, you won't get hit with his 2 hour).

If you were on carbuncle, I'd do it for you (both my characters have bst up), and it'd take about ~1 hour as long as you had full fomor hate and the codex.

Well I do have full fomor hate and a codex, but unfortunately can't find any BST's to do it for me ; ; thank you for your offer, now I wish I really was on carbuncle lol. Would the BST strategy work on the elvaan fomor? If so I'd be willing to look harder for help with it.

[mdkuser]

one bst is enough with 2Hour, 2bst is easy, but you kinda want a thief lol.

[Juravial]

Yeah, at the time I didn't have thf up on either character, but if you do have a thf buddy who can come along, all the better! I got 2 codexes, max hate with both chars, went and popped and killed, went 1/2 (the first pop actually got me the belt, the second one netted me nothing).

Edit: Another time, I did this to a friend, and made him come whm/thf to repose the eyes that I was trying to charm, and he also tossed a dia on the nm. It felt much safer this way, and he went 1/2 also this way.

I also went back and farmed up three subligaria this way (for my thf, drk, and bst), just using the eyes and laughing as I indiscriminately killed fomor for 30 minutes while 2 hour was active.

Also, 2bst strategy will make chump change of pretty much any of the nms, my friend Oracant was actually elvaan and that was one of the nms we had to pop/kill (the other, the taru, was actually what he got his belt on, funnily enough).

Does anyone have a link to a list of all the NMs and their drops (showing stats) added 11/09? I can't seem to find a comprehensive list anywhere. I know there was a thread here, but I'm looking for one with wiki links, stats on each of the drops, etc. Wonder if there is one?

Evoker's Spats or Austere Slops

I question how much the spats actually increase accuracy >.>

Perfect, thanks a ton. And sorry, I just realized this was the "What's Better" thread and not the "Random Question" thread. Woops.

What's the best over-all melee food 10-~26?

I've been told Rice Dumplings until ~26, then sushi or pizza; but I think that may be wrong.

Input?

Evoker's Spats. They give +14 Accuracy. The SMN Skill on slops is useless until you're capped smn magic, or using it for ele siphon.

Depends..most likely you're going to want the acc, so I'd suggest Jack-O-Lantern's until 30s then you can migrate to mithkabobs if your acc is better.

[Nightfyre]

3 STR and 20% attack boost >>> 2.5% hitrate when applied across both TP and WS, especially as attack is pretty powerful at those levels. The only food I can think of that I'd care to use in a lollowbie party that would compete is Dhalmel Pie, but I'd think Rice Dumplings would beat those too since your acc at that level is absolute garbage.

Breeze Gorget vs. Love Torque on Dancing Edge.

Love Torque when SA'd, Breeze when it's not.

[noodles355]

Love torque when it's unstacked too.

But with my Merits/Dex Love torque gives me 9 Acc (3 from Dex, 6 from skill), and 5Dex towards WSC and 7Att on all 6~ swings is > 0.1ftp on first hit easilly.

I've been syncing to my other character alot and leveling from 10-37, and at first, I used mithkabobs (they are cheap).

When I synched to jura's cor or tat's brd, I found them to be very good with accuracy roll/madrigal. Then I tried rice dumplings, and sorta fell in love with them with ranged attack jobs.

Cor/Rng/1 handed weapon jobs or dual wielding = rice dumplings for me

2Handed weapon jobs = pizza does the job nicely from 10-37

Upon reflection, pizza is almost as cheap as mithkabobs, and should probably be used even when there is a "buffer" job like cor or brd in a low level party. You'll be much happier with the results of overall, consistent damage.

[Juravial]

Astral burn and save your money.

I'm actually leveling up a job (in this case, it was thf, then drk) on juravial while using tatjiana as a synch-whore. thf never got party invites, and after around 67 I stopped trying to make parties. Drk...still doesn't have the best invite track record, even if I comment that I'll /thf and TA my ws's onto the tank.

Also, you have to like...wait in line almost to summon burn on carby, and of course, with 2 characters and rdm up on one of them, I have to be one of the idiots that runs around linking a crapton of mobs...maybe if I was one of the smns that just got a call once every hour or so to use 2 hour. Maybe I'm just lazy
