Relic Augments

[Appie]

Ran around in Abyssea Vunkerl for 20minutes, did some 1700-3200 (TA'd) dmg Final Heavens, so ya nothing changed. Then I looked at the quote on the official forums and noticed they didn't give a timeframe for when it would be added lolz.

Liberator Lv90:

Enhance Absorb modifier increased to 40% (1.4). (The first two upgrades were 5%, the last was 10%).

AM2's effect has been increased. I didn't test Lv80 and Lv85 Liberator, but Lv90 def has an increase:
206 tp - +32 attack
260 tp - +70 attack
299 tp - +89 attack

It looks like AM2's range has increased to 30 Attack->89 attack. (Lv 75 was 20->60)

I didn't test AM1, but my bet is 15acc -> 29 accuracy or something similar. I will run some testing when I get the chance, but it's much more difficult to do this test now.

AM3's effect has increased:

It seems like an odd number to get considering the sample size. Might be from a few non AM3 hits that got mixed in. In any sense, it seems Lv90 AM3 def got a boost. Again, I don't know if Lv80/85 versions saw these boosts because I never tested them.

AM3 Test Details:
DRK/DNC, no Zanshin/DA eq or atma was used. I fought crabs in Abyssea-Grau, using Insurgency every time AM3 wore off. Sometimes a non-AM3 hit got in. I did 20 WS total. I used haste for the last half of the test.

I constructed a simple time-line graph of my attack rounds. AM3 DA seems uniform:

That's pretty awesome. There's a world of difference between level 75 and level 90 Mythics.

Just to confirm again, "Absorb+40%" doesn't help Absorb-TP but it does help Drain, right?

I use THF Tonberries in Konschtat (without Cruor buffs or RR) to test Acc stuff on Dancer, but your 2H-ness might make that hard. DA gear test activate!

Best spot for 300 beasts w/ spharai?

I'd say rabbits in abys-mis. I recently did a staff trial there with a dual box mule and killed 150-200 finishing off with a nuke in less than 2 hours. Shit was super fast because they're so close together, with flat terrain, and boosted lights on murex make capping azure a breeze.

What cd said though if you're solo you might wanna go to like Boyadha tree for rabbits instead. They're low end EP so faster kills and if the camps are free they repop quick enough for no down time. Did most of my Amano trial there.

Thanks guys

edit: yay spharai 90, that last trial took longer than I thought. hydra stingy with the pops.
