Optimum HMP setup for BLU?

[Akyrey90]

Don't suppose anyone knows whether the euvhi in the garden or palace have a higher drop rate D;

they should have a better drop rate,even tho it's still very low

Optimum HMP setup for BLU?

Pluto's/Ariesian Grip/-/-
mirror tiara/eidolon pendant/relaxing earring/magnetic(or the other earring with hmp+1)
errant/Genie Gages/star ring/star ring
felicitas cape/austerity belt/yigit/Numerist Pumps

this is best one u can get,u can swap eidolon with beak necklace +1,felicitas cape with Invigorating Cape and austerity belt with QQ sash +1 since they r still expensive.

Mahatma body has an extra point of hMP over NQ, otherwise ^

Can swap Mirage/Morri body in and out for a couple extra points of MP as well if you're really anal about resting gear.

EDIT: Serpentes too.

[Radec]

Lore Robe +1 for body (HQ+7, NQ+6 if you don't use mahatma elsewhere), Augmented Rainbow Obi (up to 5hmp) from Azure Key - ACP.

[Draylo]

Lore robe/+1

Edit: Damn beaten by a second lol

My Question is about windower Keybind Macro:
I want to have more then only CTRL ALT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 for macro
I want to add few Key for macro purpose ( I will keep using CTRL ALT normal macro Case )

Which keys on a keyboard is the best to bind ?
I was thinking using 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 , Home , End Keys

You can double CTRL+ALT on a button, basically adding a third row to 1-0. On my RDM, I've also done the same for F1-F8, basically giving me 56 buttons to fiddle with while reserving F9-F12 and CTRL/ALT combinations for specific gear swaps like resting, converting, or even toggles for my spells to emphasize accuracy over potency. Can also do CTRL/ALT -/=, which I did for handling frequent Arts/Stratagem use when /SCH. Ideally, I know I should just jump to spellcast, but anyone I've asked to help me figure it out always bails out on me. :/

Is salvage gear obsoleted? And do you think the Magian Trials for armor will upgrade salvage gear? Or has that epic, epic struggle for this gear just gone the way of WoW? (Useless after level patch.)

No, currently it's not obsolete. Some pieces have taken a kicking but I'd wait and see what this update brings before writing it off. Currently, the marduk head/legs/feet and morri body/hands/feet still are very useful. I can't speak for Usu/Ares but in terms of skadi, the legs/feet are still great. Body/hands I think still have use. Not sure on head.

What's the ideal 5-hit setup for DRK?

If I do a STP Reckoning I'll have +13 store TP (out of +24 needed) which is not enough from what I figured out using FFXI Calculator.

[fredjanx]

Something like this works for 0 haste loss. Without White Tathlum you might need to use Attila's and Ecphoria Ring, though.
If you don't have Rajas.... you might need to use this.

depends what you have access to, the simplest is reckoning + rose + rajas + brutal + askar, if you don't land any extra hits on ws pop on some combination of chiv/ecph/tath/cape/ear

"optimal" is basically same shit with goading or aurum body depending on buffs and what else you have access to

[Fredjan]

Ya, don't have Askar and whatnot so for now I'll settle with a STR/Attack Absolution. Thanks.

I'll have Rajas shortly so I included that in the amount I'd have.

[Eleven19]

One other solution for body slot sTP is Carbonara. I'm not sure if you'd wanna go that route, and I'm not sure what the numbers would look like giving up on some somewhat higher attack food, or pizza +1.

I'm working on the same scythe, don't want to give up ebody for TP though. Shit better get upgrades for TotM.

Can the T1 Abyssea VNMs or the celestial avatars give out amber light?

Whats the best layout for SMN merits? This is pretty broad, but what is agood path to take?

[rog]

What level leather is coral legs? 46 or lower?

[Dooom]

Definintely below 46, I'd say it's even below 10.

[rog]

It's t2?

[Dooom]

Personal experience on them leads me to believe yes, though it's not a huge sample size so I could be wrong. But I'll be shocked if the leather requirement is T1 at 60 with only leather trousers being the leathercraft side of materials.

[rog]

Why the fuck is it 300k for a t2 with break even/small loss on nq -.-

brb synthing those

[Snick]

Are single target Shell 5(And I guess Pro too) affected by Shellra 5 merits?
