Does anyone know what Vermes Carnium(Sandworms) in Tahrongi canyon drop?

Drop? As in lights? I recall Amber, Azure and Pearl. Ruby IDK.

Hard game is hard? Am I dumb for trying? Couldn't have been too far off if I got it to 5% with a lot of resisted nukes.

No, but why are you asking what you can do about resists, when it's so obvious? You're missing some int, and 50 fucking ele skill.

Getting Debug: report icon for Animus Augeo using Rog's 57.dat. I was kind of hoping, Rog, if you could fix it up and re-upload it for me, or explain to me how to go about changing it? I downloaded FFXI icon changer but have no idea how to go about it because I can't even find the original icon for Enmity Boost.

1, do wajoam tigers drops crests'?
2, is there any certain beast type mob someone can recommend that drops crests?

[Not Kuno]

Is there a new recast thing for all the new spells/JA? Very confusing on blu when half your recast just says unknown spell. D:

I'll fix it, and pennant in a little bit.

Hey, I'm sorry. I only ask this on a site where Lv40's solo genbu.

[Nightfyre]

Make sure your nukes land while he's charging/using TP moves, as I never had any issues with resists during that time. If he's still resisting then /SCH (if you aren't using it already), merits, and levels are in order, but my one nuking attempt on BLU (waste of time, shredded him in 20 or less at 80 with physical spells) was pretty much devoid of resists when I got it off while it was readying Carousel. I do have magic merits and obviously had 3 levels over you, but I cast in pure damage gear, no macc/blue skill.

Oh, i did genbu at 41. I wasn't confused when i couldn't land my nukes though.

Why do people say Aurum body surpasses Heca for WS, but place Warwolf ahead of Swordbelt+1?

[skeelz]

what is the formulas for testing which gk weapons are best?

[StevenW]

I never really thought about that, maybe that's why I had so many less resist during Chainspell is because I could get them off while he's readying.

Can you break latent in Abyssea? Stopped getting refresh over an hour ago, so I swapped to axe of trails and took the 1 DMG hit

Of course.

Alright so I just came back from a break recently and got my blm to the point where I can use the teal set, and I have some questions.

I have a regular igqira weskit with +5 int augmented, does it beat the teal saio for max damage nuking and how does it compare with it for HNM/higher resistance nuking?

For legs, mahatma vs teal slops for max damage and HNM/higher resistance?

Aside from the teal set, Lgm. Pendant vs. Elemental torque for resistance nuking?

and finally, Omega Ring vs Aquilo's Ring for resistence nuking?

Thanks in advance.

1 int vs 2 mab? I hope i don't need to explain.

Teal legs.

Lemeg is 1 less macc, but 4 more int worth of damage, get rid of your ele torque. Also goetia chain.

Depends, omega gives 4-5 macc, while aquilo's gives 3, unless Δint<10, then it gives 6. I'd probably just stick with aquilo's either way, especially since nothing is really resistant anymore.

Quick question,

The new baracudas offer +10% ws damage with a 23 DMG. However, there are now quite a few H2H options with 28+ DMG. Any reason to go for the barracudas?

Perfect answer, thanks. And I saw goetia chain but it'll take me some time to get so I left it out.

Not really, it's pretty easy to get if you've got a few friends.
