Has there been any reverse calculations done on AV or KB to determine M or V values for meteor? No crazy theories here, just curious if it remains unchanged how much damage BLM will be able to manage.

I was wondering for u assault buffs, I'm trying to get a Yigit Gomlek for my bard. Which assault can I spam, or is an easy way to get the 20000 points needed for the piece. I heard Saving Private Ryaaf was easy, but are there others? I have up to CS rank. Thank You!

[Byrthnoth]

Ryaaf is the easiest one. Go something/DNC and eat Crab Sushi. Use Steps to one-shot the chigoes.

Some people like Bombs, but you have to take people who know how to do Bombs into it to get good points, which isn't useful if you're shouting for people.

Wake the Puppet (SL) is easy too, but you need to take people who knows what's up and avoid giving the puppet too many commands.

[Ricekid]

Hmm thanks I'll most likely shout for ryaaf, since most ppl have a dd job and can /dnc. Can it be done with only 3 members? Also any suggestions for me because I only have blm, brd, and rdm leveled?

If you make a mule with your name on another server, but delete it before migrating to that server, do you keep your name?

What were the announced rank 4 and 5 prize for Nomad Bonanza?

[Callisto]

Is M.Kris RNG meleeing for TP viable compared to shooting/K.Club in merits?

pumps and a bump

[Frankwhite]

If I have Leaping Boots on a mule character but on the same account as my main, can I still hold Bounding Boots on my main character? I saw that this is not possible with the Ranger's Necklace and was wondering if this goes for other Rare items too, or is it just exclusive to Ranger's Necklace?

You should not have any problems with Ranger Necklace.
1 Rare item per Character that's the rule, it is not per Account.

[Frankwhite]

Thanks.

odin and alexander statues.

yes, its definitely not a kclub, but compared to shooting the best perc is how you can then utilize the marches/haste since your using a melee weapon, i did it pre-kc, most often in dyna than anything, its alot easier too for some people since they can just sit back and melee>ws

Wiki has a tremenous chart that will allow you to know which npc is an actual npc not a mob. I used to dc myself into the zone and solo it on blm. I'd /rdm and fully buff before enting the room with my -pd set and gather up the 3 chigoe and sleepga. I'd go check the npc and overwrite with sleepga II and go on my merry way. I was far enough away by the time they woke up that they didn't come after me.

apradar -> defuse the threat(SM periqia)
show all, reverse qiqirn miners, use something with phalanx or invis and run around hitting mines

1760 AP with command and 15/15 mines, no reason to ever not get 15/15 with radar

[Priran]

I quit back in 2008, was thinking of coming back, and don't remember the stats/alternatives for these slots well enough to know which augments are best from the add-ons.

I was thinking:
Head: Acc+10,Att+5/STR+4,Weaponskill Acc+15 for monk, Int+4,M.Acc+2/INT+2, Fast Cast +2% for scholar, or MND+4, Cure pot. +3%/MND+2, Fast Cast+2% for white mage.

Body: Fast Cast +5%/M.Acc+4 for scholar

Pants: Movement Speed +8%/Cure Pot.+5% for white mage

As you can tell I'm only really considering SCH, WHM, and MNK

[Argettio]

Head: 4INT and 2 MAB is a better max damage nuking hat, the other choices are ok.

Body: MAB + MACC is the best nuking body for SCH in the game

Leg: Cure potency is a good call.

Did SE announce what the Chocobo Berets do?

[Byrthnoth]

So, assuming SE continues their Job Trait progressions and doesn't add any new JAs:
Dual Wield V = 90 (30%)
Store TP V = 90 (30 STP)
Martial Arts VII = 90/91 = 280 Delay

What do you guys think will be the new top DD at 99?

Personally, my money is on Monk. They've always been one patch from broken anyway, and the 1 skill = .11 damage relationship is going to destroy with 24 more levels of 6 skill per level. Then you throw in another -20 delay (putting them at 140 per fist without a weapon) and you're further into the range where TP/second increases. If the current trends continue, Monk should have a DPS over 20 without a weapon at level 99.

I think you found a perfect example as to why it's dumb to assume that old trends will continue at 75+...
