Final Form Magian Weapons

[Atoreis]

Haha, why do people always critique Arthar's motivations (and comment on his <100mil gil) every time he posts a new Empyrean?

Maybe the guy just finds farming NMs for an Empyrean fun. I actually kind of do. Cleaving Tahrongi is really pretty relaxing for me, at least, and I could see someone with HNM experience enjoying competing with people for claiming NMs like Amun or Tunga.

PS. He keeps under 100mil on his main account so that he can't accidentally buy a 99'd item.

Actually I'm not that kind of person. I actually read what he post. He wrote he have nothing left to fill the time in his game play before update and new stuff. Both proposition I made in my post are another things that he could do following his motivation. I have never commented about his gils too.

6th weapon for my shell :3

[The_OG_Nelta]

Seriously?

Ok I will make it more clear:
The a) was option for him to make something more epeen because that seems to be a reason for him to keep doing empy, also Ryunohige shits over empy.
In case he after all not only after epeen but something effective then much better would be: Gjallahorn, Daurdabla, Carwenhan, Yagrush etc. on his mule or even some zerg friendly empy on mule to have an option to zerg on 2 chars.

What about the fact that Emp's are a million times easier to get than mythic/relic and much better weapons most of the time?

[boo]

How about, it's his $14.95?

Idk why you keep making empy you almost wont use instead of:
a) make an mythic (more rare and more epeen which seems to be important in your case)
b) make some support empy/relic/mythic for mule (yagrush, gjallahorn etc.)

The answer for me will probably be points on ffxiah

i do play those jobs fyi

NIN and DRK is my fav job. i always play them both, but thanks to abyssea's nature, i play NIN more. Sam because its SE fav job. I dont always play rng tho i admit that but i do use MNK for blue proc for my returning cousin's equipment and /bandwagon on

does this mean everyone should only make kannagi and h2h empy only cos its all that matters?

as for ur queries:
a) lolmythics. i know they are very hard to make but lets face it, who still uses a mythic anyways even if you liked that job.
b) for a mule? really? i only dual box a rdm or whm. I will never dual a bard because i will never trust another whm besides myself. yagrush may be the only real reason i may make but i dont think im up for that.

i'll toss in a c) everyone is at a stalemate in FFXI atm. i got friends who log in and dont know what to do anymore, or dont even log in anymore till next VU. what should i do now? i cant make another empy? hmmm anyway im working on friend's polearm, cousin's masamune and a bored friend's staff(yup we are that bored now) so im not all over about my own epeen

my cousin is also my semi mule, and we did a empy gun. thats a ranged mule support with bounty shot if you ask me or his cor's rolls

Cleaving Tahrongi is really pretty relaxing for me, at least, and I could see someone with HNM experience enjoying competing with people for claiming NMs like Amun or Tunga.

this is very true. after this h2h i realise i liked cleaving way more than running around the fucking place to proc a NM, going in and out of abyssea to add time/buy triggers. its more relax and you will never run out of time. There is once i had 800 mins and i go to bed while my ID in abyssea, return the next day with 100 mins left and cleave again

you can call me a sadist, but i enjoy outclaiming 6 people on amun every single time. even if i lose, i offered my nin and war's proc help. thats -1 competitor so its not about my own ego. I just like things to be efficient.

there are people who claim and kill even they got KI tho just to cockblock, so idk whats up with that

Real men do mythics so they can post on BG with inflated egos !

i have all respect to people doing a mythic. it is at least 100 times harder than a empy. its just sad why SE make them that bad actually its more like why SE made empy WS that good zzz....

wtb empy WS quest next VU

[Nermie]

Dammit Chrono ... you caught up to me. Now I have to finish Ukon.

Congrats!

[Jeryhn]

How about, it's his $14.95?

Fucking casuals.

Also, it's his $25.90, not $14.95.

I do agree that he should do a mythic just because though.

Tbh I wish I had the resources to work up to a Nagi, purely for aesthetics. (inb4 .dat swap.. but yeah that's happening too) Really love how that weapon looks, its a damn shame its so useless compared to the Empyrean.

Having said that, I'm posting this while waiting for my 2nd round of Zi'Ghi Boneeater to start Kannagi. I'd like to solo as much of this thing as I can, I have SAM COR WAR NIN PLD DRK THF to work with and no mules. I haven't read up on solo strategies on Briarius and his key item NM's, any tips?

[Raen Ryong]

Three pre-NMs, solo them /war if you can;

WAR: Easy, no special notes needed.
MNK: Moribund Hack is used exactly 1 minute after Ice Roar; outrange it. Don't attack its spikes at low HP because they will rape you. Long and annoying fight.
RNG: Make sure your evasion is capped. Hope Catapult doesn't hit you too often. I believe Trebuchet is used exactly 1 minute after Lightning Roar similar to MNK. Be careful of the spikes stunlocking you (and they get quite strong). This is the most dangerous out of the 4 NMs (3 pre-NMs and Briareus). You cannot proc red on it mid ranged attack.
Briareus: do whatever you can to convince a THF to come with you; hardly worth it otherwise. If you are going to solo, NIN/DNC. Try to stun TP moves. If this fails, all but Mercurial/Colossal are fairly harmless. If Colossal, backtank it until your curse is gone and get yourself high before a new TP move. If a 1111 Mercurial, run and outdistance 3 Colossal Slams.

NMs for Bria KI are really annoying solo cuz of spikes.

Adamastor:
- joke for nin
- wear evasion when needed
- makes 2-4 grand slam so don't waste TP trying for red when he makes one just turn and wait till it finish

Pantagruel:
- will always use Ice Roar then Moribund Hack after some time pass ( I think 1min)
Wont use Moribund w/o Ice Roar (If you stun all Ice roar you wont see Hack)
- Can outrun Hack if you start running few seconds before he use it
- When he uses Hack it will lose Ice spikes

Grandgousier:
- Wear full evasion full time or try to swap it in for every catapult
- Catapult has en-dispel effect
- will spam catapult every several seconds
- at low HP catapult can do 1k+ damage

Briareus:
- joke for nin
- it was doing 5-7 TP moves when my friend was soloing on NIN
- If you see 1111 Mercurial strike (it will 2hr after this) run away and let Bria run to you and start Colossal slam and move back a little so it wont hit you
- take potions if you /thf because mercurial strike is magic and will hit you for 111-1111 so you will take some damage during fight.

[Sho]

Since people posted strats:

111 = Impact Roar (through shadows, does not wipe)
222 = Grand Slam (1-3 shadows)
333 = Grand Slam (1-3 shadows)
444 = Power Attack (1 shadow)
555 = Trebuchet (1-3 shadows, does not wipe it or go through unlike Grandgrousier)
666 = Trebuchet
777 = JA Times Reset to 0:00 (including 2hr) / Uses Mercurial Strike on the next TP move
888 = Colossal Slam
999 = Colossal Slam
1111 = 2hr Meikyo Shisui (Will use Colossal Slam at least 3 times, run away from him)

Yoinked off of otherwiki. Is good to know if you are doing NIN/DNC or NIN/DRK. Other NMs are jokes if you turn during spikes phase or stun roar on point.

[Eleven19]

All that doesn't sound too bad, easier than I figured at least I never really tried to fight any of the Bria trigger NM's. Sounds like a nice project to keep me busy tho. Thanks for the tips.

[Ksandra]

figure this is the best thread to post in. Came back to game, working on gearing up nin since they're useful in abyssea. Which trial should I do (not mythic or relic as I don't want adding another step)?

Can list two but put priority there, since I'd like to kinda focus on one at a time.

[Plow]

evasion sekka +2 no question for your first one

kamome is also way up there on the quality vs required effort

You should also make a WoE weapon if you're not going to do an emp. They're just too good and too easy not to.

[TheDirtyHobo]

It may be 'easy', but that doesn't stop the zone from being an absolutely miserable shithole and ragefest. After getting my ukko axe there, I never want to fucking go back, it would be less stressful to just kill the abyssea NMs.
