New Elemental Staves

[cdgreg]

Cataclysm works for dark kills as said above. Likely the best method to aoe dark kill.

So lemme try to piece together the best strategy for this, did you get the beyond/minkin/2 handed regain atma, lock trial staff into your main, -ga mobs down to a low % then WS? What kind of DMG were you seeing with WS and full MAB build?

On MNK, with Ultimate/Cosmos/Smiting Blow, I get 1500~1700 on average with 100tp. (and pluto's)

What do you get on blm with same atmas?
(at work or I'd just teat myself right now)

Edit: what is a good way to get the 150 light dmg kills for cure staff?

Banish III, Holy, Sunburst?, or Helix?

[Tambor]

Carbuncle pacts aswell. I imagine MM + Hell's Guardian(or Ultimate)+Beyond would do well in abyssea if you don't mind doing it there.

With a staff?

Fair enough, lol I had two sams who owed me from Bow trials come out and merc bunnies

I just actually got to the point on Yama's where I need to do dark damage kills and its already getting to me. After being spoiled on -ga kills there's no way I can kill them one by one. My current plan is to get a SMN friend to help by chaining 2hr boxes because I don't wanna skill up 70 levels of staff. BLM/SCH drainga is not a bad idea though if you can get enough mobs to 1-2% at the same time easily.

suck it up, I did them 1x1. Just be glad it's only ONE staff.

For the light magic kills I went to bibiki bay blm/whm and nuked gob pets. My divine was stupid low for quite awhile until it started to skill up. Id normally have to nuke bunny down with elemental magic then spamga banish, banish, banishga2. Once my divine got to like 180+ it was much much easier

Trueflight works well also, with Beyond/Ultimate/Sea Daughter, you can do 2k+ (more with asetics tonic) to easily snipe kills.

I was looking at my monster progression for the fire staff since I'm gonna do that next. And it looks like I can do them all in Abyssea except the final one (250 Evil Weapons). Anyone know any good camp spots for that one or am I just stuck with lolRo'Mauve? :/

Ro'maeve which is why mine is still NQ agni...fffffffuuuucckkkckckckckc

I thought you said in an earlier post you had Agni's +2'd? <.<;

Don't get me wrong, I'm a glutton for ffxi punishment, I have surya/indra/varuna/agni +2 and also did sheervandi(sp)+2 for a MDB+ build.

On an after thought, I just about this a couple hours after I posted, but shouldn't the weapons in the Shrine of RU'avita(sp?) at the old RNG burn camp be EP by now?

You sir get an A+ for reading comprehension. Was just too lazy to be more specific in earlier post. Once I get refresh pin ill finish agnis...but no luck so far with that.

[Neisan]

All the weapons I saw in Ro'Maeve are EP-- or EP- when I ran through there for WSNM.

i did this camp too, but after an afternoon of getting resisted the fuck out of banish 2 or banishga on blm/whm (my divine was capped on blm, but capped is 138 skill at /45 whm, blm has no native divine skill), i came back on rdm/whm. blizzard 3 > banishga 2 = dead wabbit and no downtime. of course, all this depends on your job availability.

there are actually two camps. the first one is on the border of f-7/8 and the other is the tunnel a little further down in the SE corner of f-8. use the 2nd camp... no bunnies to link with your goblin pets.

Meh, looks like Ro'Mauve will have to be my home away from home for awhile. The Shrine of Ru'avitau weapons seem like they have too much HP to nuke out large numbers w/o resting after a few nukes. But the weapons in Ro'Mauve go down a lot faster, I can gather up and nuke down about 6-10 of them w/o much trouble. Tricky part is getting them to s spot when I can nuke them out w/o getting magic agro from something else. -_-; I can't wait until I'm done w/ Agni's lol.... this path sucks. XD

EDIT: Too add to the my statement just now, I just found out that spots where ASA NM's hang out are generally pretty safe. To be more specific Fired Urn and Steely Weapon. Even though you will aggro them if you -ga near them it doesn't matter b/c you can sleep them. And since you do 0 damage to them you can't wake them back up with the next nuke. And after a certain amount of time elapses (seemed like about 1 min from eyeballing), they "fade into nothingness".

Maybe this trial won't be so bad after all. Definitely not as fast as Abyssea. But eh, I guess it could be worse.

[Michelob]

Then it wouldnt be a cure potency staff. (Also: Luminohelix)

Because its super hard to equip a staff precast then swap to a different one before it lands?
