If I want to lowman Lugarhoo for some poise shoes, should I bring a THF or is the drop rate pretty good?

Anyone have more detailed experience with this NM now? Not finding a ton of info from searching. Can I do it easily with like 2 melee/tanks, rdm, brd...or do I need a couple more to be safer?

[Diddy Kong]

For someone pursuing faith torque vigorously, would Osode or PCC be a better buy? Note: I WS in mirke for all WS and use pizza most of the time.

I also spend majority of my time solo or PvP.

[requim]

Osode is the better tornado kick option, also good for waltzes. Just a solid miscellaneous piece.

PCC can still be useful once you have faith for evasive mobs, using steps (max acc!), potentially for some acc based counter build or whatever random option. It's still by far the best TP option for everything low level, such as past/lesser/normal colibri or MMM XP parties.

Both are increasingly less valuable so depends on your urgency and if you fight anything you need accuracy for / level sync ever. For most of the things you probably do chiv chain and aurore body on top of your other standard gear fill that notch.

[fredjanx]

Where's a good place to solo Amorph superfamily mobs? I need to WS 800 times on them on DRG/mage.

Pashhow Marshlands (S). There are like 11 leeches, but it's a somewhat long walk....

Well I don't have any intention to go below level 75 ever, or level another job. So I guess I'll go with the Osode. On top of that, I chi blast solo a lot.

if someone managed to keylog my wizbot id should i change all my passwords?

The magic word is 'keylog'. This means someone has shown a greater control of your computer than you. I wouldn't feel safe using a computer that I know has been compromised.

You should stop using that computer, reformat it, reinstall windows, and during the reinstallation process use some other computer which you know hasn't been compromised to change all your passwords.

[Marcicus]

1) Anyone have the math on WAR/NIN or WAR/SAM vs MNK? Can assume Ridill or RC/no RC vs w/e is MNK's best weapon now.

2) Gear setup for SAM80 that doesn't involve Usukane Haramaki/Sune-Ate?

[urat]

So uh, no idea if I shoulda posted this in final form magian trial, new job abilities, so Ima post it here.

Anyone tested yet how presto stacks with terpischore's step augment? Does it actually give you fuckign 4 finishes from 1 step?

If so jesus fucking broken ultimate dagger of omgwtfbbq. I'm super curious and really want to know.

Also anyone know wtf all the II's on the T2 relics/mythics mean? IE: Augments Steps II Increases Step Accuracy II

...

Does anyone even have terpischore?

As far as I know, Terpischore is owned by, like, one JP. In the world. Also, Presto wouldn't make it that broken--since it shares a CD with all the Steps, the only time you'd reasonably use it is either when you're not engaged or when you have 5 steps, are a couple hits from WSing so you don't want to Reverse Flourish, and don't want to sit on the timer.

Also, a little late but--

The slugs in Rolanberry [S] around J-10 were nice for a kill trial. They're a little squishy--no melee damage resistance like other amorphs--so I don't know if you'd want to use them for a WS trial, but they were amazing for my "kill 500 Amorphs" trials.

Worms in kuftal are good, just barely EP to me.

As for presto, I've already managed to grind myself into the habit of Presto prepping before battle. 10 seconds before I've engaged I have it out, start fight, step, boom free finish

I saw a terpischore in the relics thread so I might PM whoever it was I saw, they might be able to shed some light for us if they arent reading this already. Forgot who though... I'll check after.

Anyways, combined with terps 3 steps already, being able to walk into battle and instantly have 4/5 finishes with one step is pretty broken imo. If you prepped it right it'd making soloing SCs possible without any preparatory finishes, but it'd require some pretty precise timing and a good connection.

Also, what have we dancer's found to be the best solo skillchain combo? So far it's looking like Evi -> DE -> Evi for darkness is our biggest hitter if you have climactic flourish prepped before hand and a solid build for it?

I wonder how Fusetto with evis+10% would compare to even twashtar for that skillchain...

I think there was a English player on Caitsith with it?

Yeah I'm looking around, for one the of the top 3 mythics you'd think more people would' be interested in it. I guess it doesn't matter how good the weapon is though if no one is itnerested in the job itself to the extant of bothering with said weapon.

I'd love to take the time and start going after said dagger but I don't have the time nowadays, thus my slow progress towards the Twashtar~

Just scroll down a bit.

Whats the "cooldown", or time it takes for Joachim to charge new stones?

I have yet to go digging thru multiple threads for this info, figured it would be easier to ask here.

[miokomioko]

20 hours. I don't think there has been a report on how much the appropriate Abyssite key item reduces this. My guess is it reduces it by an hour.

[Diddy Kong]

Should I sell my Scorpion Harness+1 and get an Aurore Doublet for soloing in?

20 hours? Hmm, I got 3 at one time from him once, but that was a few days after the Abyssea release. I'm guessing since I didn't pick any up til then, my 3 accumulated. Thanks!
