Anyone have links to the past direct file links? I found the last 3 but friend is trying to update and it is taking to long so trying to see if there is an overall link for the file updates.

I don't think they were ever really reuploaded before the last 3 updates. Really though, it shouldn't take too long to dl through pol, since there's probably no more than one other person dling updates.

Any good spots where fire weather is common that has birds. Looking to do Trial 381 and take advantage of the bonus for matching weather kills.

[Nightfyre]

There's no such thing as common fire weather.

With the new gear, I can easily figure out a 5-hit without Carbonara with Kokushitsunotachi +1. Is there any real reason to keep my sTP Keitonotachi?

[Khajit]

In order to not need carbonara perhaps? Red curry's in season right now.

Best place to duo/trio/solo 37-42 jobs?

I agree with the Orobon being the easiest, but I was under the impression that the frog resisted nukes quite a bit.
For the frog, we do Sam + Mage. Spam cures, spam damage....nothing to it. Don't 2hr or anything. Sometimes we'd bring a bard or another mage or another DD...really it's a joke and you shouldn't have to resort to shouts...make sure shell is up and people have cruor buffs.
The T2 Orobon can easily be solo'd by a rdm/nin in <10min without using 2hr. Just stick gravity and kite. Really, a blm/rdm should be fine too, but may be a little riskier if something goes wrong.
The T3 Orobon I'd recommend 3, gravity/nuke.
Both Orobons are a total joke...

As for Durinn - no idea on the Soulflayer, always got pop item from chest (make an exp party and try to get some amber lights?).
The Dvergr (pop drops from corpselights) heals physical when it readies/uses WS, heals magic when it casts. We've done it numerous times with no trouble with sam/nin, brd, rdm. Could duo it. Need to spam erase. FWIW I always have the +hp atma and have full merit abyssites, but it seemed like a total joke.
Imp has en-absorbbuff on its melee hits. Do it with rdm + sam easily. Seems immune to dark dispel, so a bard to dispel shit it steals is nice...It's no harder than Bakka, and quite possibly easier since it doesn't cast aga4s.
Low HP on both.

Durinn himself is quite possibly easier than the lower tier 1. His AMs/etc get aoed. Thunderous Shriek can hit hard and gives him intimidate, but that's it. Definitely doable with rdm, brd, DD.

Obviously you can add a few more, but I see absolutely no reason why a normal <6 man group can't kill all this fine. Take dd+brd+rdm as a starting point, and if you must add people, add what covers for your group's weak points. If your DD is weaker, add 1. If the rdm is weaker, add that. Since you want Durinn atma, add some people with WSes that help with that...it really isnt hard in any case.

It's very encouraging to hear that I can kill most of these NMs with 2-3 people. I typically have difficulty receiving cooperation from more than 3-4 people for this type of stuff due to free riding issues and stingy HNM/EG LS members not wanting to do stuff outside their shell.

Has anyone figured out the spellcast for BLM Uggy/Goetia Chain/Artemis medal?

[rog]

<if mpaftercastlt="whatevermpyouneedtoactivateit">
<equip><neck lock="t">Ugga</neck></equip
</if>
<elseif moon="watever phase you want to use it in">
<equip><neck lock="t">artemis</neck></equip
</elseif>
<else>
<equip neck=goetia>
</else>


Pretty simple really.

Oh, artemis can give more mab than ugly, so check for full moon first, then if not check ugly, then for 50%+ moon, then just equip goetia if not.

Is there a cap on how many magian weapons u can hold? As in completed weapons.

The store TP weapons are universally superior if you can drop a hit to 100 TP with them.

That said, you need Stingray + Rose Strap + Brutal + Rajas + STP Body + either Ace's Sabaton's or Goading Belt to make something close to a 'proper' 5-hit. You could get away with less but you need to take a hit and land all hits of Drakesbane.

Personally I'd do the Store TP path, but it's up to you. Presumably future updates will make it easier to 5-Hit.
