Final Form Magian Weapons

[Dathus]

Am I correct in my calculations that Store TP gun (Anarchy) + Skadi Legs + Rajas is a 5 hit for ranged?

Also whoever thought it would be a good idea to put VNM kills to get DMG+ weapons should be shot.

Go solo them on COR/NIN or COR/RDM if you're ballsy. Tier2s are easy to solo when pinned properly.

It already sold before the update hit. I'm still not sure why people would even buy it though.

Also, while I fully think Amano is quite amazing in most situations where melee is good (and I still think a Sam gains more from upgrading to Amano than any other DD gains upgrading to their relic),

I guarantee you THF gets more from Mandau than SAM does from Amano.

Would be funny if they started putting +Treasure Hunter on Mandau.

Knowing SE they'd save that for Vajra or Twashtar (or w/e the hell it's called)

Magian Trial 666: Kill Sozu Rogberry 100 times with weapon equipped.

I think that'd still be briefer than 2000 killshots.

I noticed on the other Wiki's Indra Staff talk page that someone did some baseline testing with the staff and saw roughly a 25% increase in damage. Has anyone done testing with the staff that favours M.Acc to see if the damage is inherent to the staff itself, or is it just the affinity bonus? I'm trying to decide whether to stay going with my Pet: MAB +10 staff or to switch up to the Varuna Staff with M.Acc +1 MAB +4.

It's the "elemental affinity: damage" bonus. +1 gives 10%, +3 gives 20%, +4 gives 25% (HQ elemental staves, which give 15%, obviously have a hidden +2). Indra's staves that don't have this stat won't do anything for your nuking damage.

No it will act like Dark/Pluto staff
Staff were always increasing dmg directly not increasing mab.
New staffs follow the same path and i dont know why you trying to compare them to obis when obvious is to compere their effect with old ele staffs...
As for a question Yama's staff will increase both macc and "dmg" of drain/aspir but which one is better (more macc or more dmg) depends on what you are fighting.

Thanks for the reply. Considering I have 338 skill and +13 macc in my macro it seems like more than enough skill/acc to take the Yama's DMG route.

Blah double post

[Atomic Skull]

They should put it on all three because if SE ever adds another +TH dagger to the game THFs will never be allowed to use their relics at events ever again.

And while they are at it they should remove the retarded "stat adds don't work in the off hand" bullshit they implemented when the mythics were introduced. If you can upgrade a Mandau and a Vajra you damn well deserve to DW them.

[Priran]

If you can upgrade a Mandau and a Vajra you damn well deserve to DW them.

And if you upgrade Mandau, Vajra, and Twashtar, you damn well deserve an extra arm so you can triple wield them.

Thanks for the reply. Considering I have 338 skill and +13 macc in my macro it seems like more than enough skill/acc to take the Yama's DMG route.

Based on my own data collection, given no other potency-increasing factors (e.g. elemental staff, weather, day, "enhances..." equipment), there does not seem to be an increase in the maximum Drain value above 300 dark magic skill. (I am not interesting in showing results here as I have no desire to convince anyone here) But since it is likely that skill will continue to increase accuracy beyond 300, and that the max skill level will increase with successive version updates, the "dmg" Yama's Staff would be better considering the accuracy bonus of the accuracy-oriented Yama's is most likely not going to be realized on old content that you might still do at 99.

Where's a good spot for the 200 wamoura kill for h2h STR path? Just tried the spot behind first gate in mount z with a sam friend and i'm gettin 45 kills before firesday is over...

Maybe try around where Archmoth is spawned? Do the big ones count too?

That's as efficient as you're likely to get in a duo. The spot near Achamoth is worse as the moths are significantly more irritating than the roaches. Suck it up or hope for an alliance that'll go out to the far west of the zone.

[Rehn]

Which "far west" camp are you talking about? How many does it have compared to the camp right behind the gate?

Had an ally today destroying everything, so if the other camp had more, we could have handled that easily.

Nevermind, think you mean Achamoth spot as mentioned. I'll check it out when I gotta hop out there again.

[Onorgul]

On the southern half of the western island of Mt Zhayolm where the Dahak ZNM is, there are a pile of wamouracampa. Be forewarned that there are also Emperor Apkallu near the coast there which, if there are many Monks or Beastmasters on your server doing trials, will probably be aggressive and obnoxious. But, yeah, bring an alliance (and for heaven's sake bring some healers and dispellers) and you have a near endless supply of Wamoura Princes to tear through.

[Riiaider]

How much better is the 2-3 sword over joyuse for pld? Trying to get a rough idea before I decide on doing it. Sorry if its been posted and I missed it, I searched back through this thread but the only comparison I saw looked to be when it was just OAT. Thanks.

[NynJa]

SE needs to add job stat enhancements on the relics imo
Mandau:
THF: TH+1
BRD: Song Spellcast time -%
RDM: Fast Cast effect

etc etc

[azagarth]
