Free Skill Ups.

[Darkzeru]

Haven been working on my great axe since friday morning on these things works great...went from 98-243. Skills up where rather frequent but now they kinda at a screaming halt atm.... still getting them here and there though


Ok I'm now 277 but from what i read in thread i can't do much here anymore.

For DRK, 276 is the 75 Great Axe cap.
And seeing I haven't got a single skill up on this Fortalice (was 277 before getting this one) and it's now down to 54% getting hit ~4-7 DMG. Think im done here

It was a nice to know for afk skill ups and such.

Never aggro'd a single mob. Just made sure my back face facing down the stairs and stay'd the longest distance you can while still being able to hit it which is about 4.1

I've been meaning to skill up my mule for a while, and finally got the motivation to do it before this week's update resulted in an overabundance of Cleave burns for Tunga-in-a-box.

Atma: Gnarled Horn (mule doesn't have Roaring Laughter), assume mostly full mandy pulls in Attohwa. All weapons single hit unless noted.

WAR: GA 273-361 ~2.7 hrs
WAR: GS 269-341 ~1.75 hrs
WAR: H2H 227-280 ~2.5 hrs (bare knuckle with shield)
WAR: Axe 280-354 ~1.15 hrs
WAR: Club (Kraken) 288-325 in ~.5 hr
WAR: Staff 285-334 ~1.9 hrs
WAR: Sword (Ridill) 277-335 ~1.6 hrs (slower due "Vudoku>> take em all and ill steal as many as i can")
WAR: Scythe 272-341 in ~.85 hr
WAR: Shield 166-315 6.25 hours. It'd go faster if just focusing on shield since you don't have to pull due to killing mobs - overlapped with 1H Weapons

SAM: GK 288 to 361 in ~3.25 hrs w/Soborro
SAM: Polearm 227-325 ~4.75 hrs w/Quint Spear
SAM: Parry 304-354 ~4.25 hrs

I'd estimate ~30 hrs spent doing it all. Parry went from 174-354 over the course of it. If you focus solely on parry it'd probably take 18ish hours for the range I did. I never built time, I just warped every after 10 minute warnings. I'd venture a guess that the weapons that were the same rank that skilled more slowly were when the dark miasma was up when I pulled and simply wouldn't fucking go away so I did a partial pull. I'd never remember to buy counter-agent between runs...

Pastebin with basic log scrape.

I am in the process of leveling NIN and my katana will be gimp.

Could I get away with Apoc/GH/Cloak and Dagger with an evasion set and just semi afk hit shit?

[Koyangi]

RR will do you a lot more good than apoc if that's what you plan to do. Semi-afk it'll work. If you want to full afk, Mounted Champion, Cloak and Dagger and RR.

also, who said that in your sig?

[LidenbokValour]

Great thanks.

Sig: Some guy on the wiki question thing, someone asked about CDC for BLU and he responded with that.

Edit: Turns out I don't have mounted champion, would vicissitude be an ok alternative?

[crux]

I spent a few hours trying to skill up Staff on BLM/RDM tonight with Vicissitude instead of Mounted Champion (GH and RL for the +counter). My HP was slowly depleting with only about five DC mobs, and the skill ups weren't nearly fast enough with that few mobs, nor nearly afk enough. I couldn't get Phalanx off consistently even casting with 1:30 left, so I had to outrun them or use Mana Wall to cast it.

I'll have to get Mounted Champion to see if the VIT instead of Defense will make the difference. The extra 5HP regen will help, of course, but I wasn't getting nearly enough 0 hits to make it work regardless.
