Random Question Thread XII: Don't Believe Advanced's Lies

[Nightfyre]

Good lowman strat for Jailer of faith and fort?

Fort can be done with whatever ragtag band of BLM RDM SCH BLU SMN you can throw together, kite everywhere til the Qf'ghrah or whatever (adds) deaggro then train to one of the towers. Movement speed helps but isn't necessary. Faith I think it was established that MNK WHM RDM BRD could do it but for the love of god bring healers that don't suck, if Viscid Nectar or petrification stays up for any length of time you're fucked. Position yourself so that the MNK is the only one eating AoE.

Did it do anything significant or irritating? I got the hands last night and need to go for this mob for the feet.

Nah, it was easy. It has enplague which is annoying, but not a big deal.

I also just soloed it on rdm/sch, which took 30 minutes. Could do it in 20-25 probably, but it took me a little bit to get used to pinning it on the fences there (not a great place to pin it, but it works) which slowed me down a lot.

Also i lol'd at it running out of mp after 28 minutes of aspiring on rdm. Probably is just /drk maybe ? Not that it matters, whatever.

Is Flashy Shot still worth meriting now that the level cap is increased?

[Diddy Kong]

I know this is a very broad question, but: I'm almost done getting all 3 items for my Usukane Haramaki, and I'm nowhere near 14M for the ingots, what's a fairly sane way to get that kind of money? My normal NM camping isn't quite cutting it anymore, since everyone is undercutting the prices and I can't sell for what I used to.

[Khajit]

well for one the Imp wootz ingots have dropped to 600k each here and probably on most other servers so double check prices.

It is still well out of my range.

[Khajit]

At this point i have to say quit your bitching and if you couldn't afford to complete the item even in a long term strategy you had no business wasting your group's time over something you cant even use.

[Aerynlia]

Is there any lowman strat for Lugarhoo?

Interested in this as well.

First of all, I wasn't bitching. And I never said I couldn't do a long term way to get the money, I was asking a simple question to see if there was a quicker way than farming Serket for 300K rings once a week. And I didn't waste anyone's time, since it was all in pick up groups. Get off my dick.

[Khajit]

If you cant figure out a semi easy way to make more than 300k a week such as somehow getting a khroma ore from somewhere then you need to redirect yourself to random fail.

[Dooom]

Assuming you don't have a craft levelled or someone to buddy up with for ENMs/BCNMs/etc, you're basically looking at camping NMs or farming shitty mobs. Buy things from NPCs and re-sell on the AH at a mark-up to dumb people; whore out your ISP/CP/AN/Cruor; hell, even sub thief and go farm the shit out of Ladybugs. Making money isn't hard; it's just normally slow and/or boring.

[Skeelo]

Interested in this as well.

We did it with Mnk,Sam,rdm,whm,brd,(db'd) Thf

Keep auspice and penance up as much as you can. About 30%, intimidation gets kind of unbearable so have sam 2hr and rdm nuke. Can probably do with other dds but counterstance and PC works wonders. Mages have to be quick because fevered pitch can rock you. GL

[Byrthnoth]

Stop leveling more jobs. Stay active and do things that make money (BCNM, ISNM, KSNM). Do events that allow you to replace gear with R/Ex (Dynamis, Sky, etc). You might be surprised how fast the gil will pile up.


Anyway, Dancer question! So these are my current sets:
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/169186
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/169187 <- I actually can't remember if I use Virtuoso or Warwolf's at the moment.
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/128690

Toreador, Cuchu Mantle, Tumbler Trunks are about 2mil each.

On the R/Ex front, I'm going to try to re-do the MKE and Shantotto final fights this weekend and get Waltz pieces from them. Other than those, my hitlists are:
R/Ex
WS: Agrona's leggings, Orc hat, Enkidu Harness, Surge Subligar
Step: Choriea Earring
Waltz: Temperance Torque, Etoile Cape, Verthandi's ring, Volunteer's Nails
TP: Auric Dagger, Charis Necklace, Bullwhip/Velocious/Goading belt, Lucky Coin, Ocelot Trousers

Buyable:
WS: Tumbler Trunks, Threw Bomblet
Waltz: New 6CHR Ring
TP: Dusk Gloves +1, Cuchulain's Mantle, Speed belt, Toreador's ring


I guess I forgot my question. What the heck should I upgrade first? I have a pretty well geared RDM/NIN and several actively playing friends. I work regular hours now and large groups lag me out.

[ronin sparthos]

I saw you didnt put the Etoile Tiara down, you're gonna want one of those for sure.

[stamos]

Where is the best spot for 250 bombs(not Snolls/Clusters) for the last str/attack hand to hand trial?

I did mine in Ifrit's Cauldron.

I did mine in Ifrit's Cauldron.

Remember where? Since if I remember they are pretty scattered around there

I don't remember the exact POS, I kind of just ran around and killed bombs for a couple of hours.

[Byrthnoth]

I guess it would be good for Curing waltz IV and maybe Divine Waltz II, but I intend to use the MKE Waltz Recast -2 hat for Curing waltz III and Healing Waltz.

[Marcicus]

Since we're talking about gear here, I'm looking to improve my COR TP and WS sets.

TP:

Joyeuse/----/Martial/Steel
Turban/PCC/Brutal/Suppa
Antares/Dusk/Rajas/Iota
Foragers/Swift/Aurore/Enkidu's

Slug Shot:

Joyeuse/----/Martial/Steel
Maat's Cap/Light Gorget/Vision Earring/Triumph
Aurore/Blood/Rajas/Flame
Amemet+1/Buccaneers/Enkidu's/AF+1

Gonna pick up a Cuchulain's Mantle when I have the money for it, and I haven't seen Oberon's Bullets sold in stacks once so yeah. As for Slug Shot idk if I'd be better off WSing in Maat's Cap or Anwig Salad (RACC+10, WSACC+15), and what about Aurore vs Denali Jacket?
