Anyone know what acc I should shoot for in omen?

Edit: Ok found it. I need to hit like 1200 or so on fodder, which I should be able to make. I may not be able to hit the acc requisit for a nm without switching to /war, but you can only do one omen a day, and I need whatever cards I can get.

P.s. fucksticks. Do ALL the vanaversary roe quests. The keys can net you the rare bodies from omen. How rare are they? My group has been pretty consistent on omen since implementation, we have only seen 2 bodies drop total.

Step 1. Equip a physical bp rage gearset.

Step 2. Astral flow > apogee >volt x2 > conduit > spam volt until dead.


Congrats, you are now king deeps on like 90% of endgame because SE can't balance for poo poo.

What about other gearsets? Gearsets are for suckers.

What if my two 1hr abilities are down? Go stand in a corner.

Ok I was massively wrong about my accuracy, but now I'm into 1100 acc. Looks like I'll be spamming ambuscade until I get a full +1 set from there before I can bother with omen.

loving 1200 for the trash mobs? The post I read was from like 2 years ago, didn't mob evasion get nerfed awhile back?

Edit: ok I can do this. I need those cards. Just enough for the +2 set. I have barely enough cash for the ore mats you have to buy, and I have all the other upgrade mats already. All I need are the cards and I'll have my +2 AF set.

tia

Here are the sets I use, one for full-on tanking and one for soloing Escha NMs without additional damage:

sets.idle.Pet.Engaged.DT = {
main={ name="Oberon's Sainti", augments={'DMG:+1','Add.eff.:Blindness+14','Pet: Damage taken -5%',}},
range="Animator P +1",
ammo="Automat. Oil +3",
head={ name="Anwig Salade", augments={'Attack+3','Pet: Damage taken -10%','Accuracy+3','Pet: Haste+5',}},
body={ name="Rao Togi +1", augments={'Pet: HP+125','Pet: Accuracy+20','Pet: Damage taken -4%',}},
hands={ name="Rao Kote +1", augments={'Pet: HP+125','Pet: Accuracy+20','Pet: Damage taken -4%',}},
legs={ name="Rao Haidate +1", augments={'Pet: HP+125','Pet: Accuracy+20','Pet: Damage taken -4%',}},
feet={ name="Rao Sune-Ate +1", augments={'Pet: HP+125','Pet: Accuracy+20','Pet: Damage taken -4%',}},
neck="Shepherd's Chain",
waist="Isa Belt",
left_ear="Enmerkar Earring",
right_ear="Rimeice Earring",
left_ring="Thur. Ring +1",
right_ring="Overbearing Ring",
back="Visucius's Mantle",}

(Mantle is pet: Haste10 Acc30 Racc30 Atk20 Ratk20) - you can make subs like Midnights with the DT augment but do your best to get as much DT as possible because PUP can cap MDT at 50 and PDT at 87.5 with gear/maneuvers/attachments.) Use Valoredge frame and Soulsoother body with these attachments:

Auto-Repair Kit IV
Flashbulb
Optic Fiber 1+2
Strobe 1+2
Armor Plate IV
Mana Jammer IV
Turbo Charger 1+2
Resister II
and anything else in the final slot (another Mana Jammer or Resister can work, Tactical Processor, Disruptor or Regulator if you want to steal Pro/Shell from a mob.) Tank with 2 light/1 fire

For a damage puppet you want a ton of Pet: Store TP to try and get a 3 hit setup with triple Fire Maneuvers. You need something like 190-195 STP to 3hit and you get ~130 through triple Fire Inhibitors so you get the rest through augments on Herculean and Pitre+1 body. Aim for something like this:

sets.pet.STP = {
main={ name="Ohtas", augments={'Accuracy+70','Pet: Accuracy+70','Pet: Haste+10%',}},
range="Animator P +1",
ammo="Automat. Oil +3",
head={ name="Herculean Helm", augments={'Pet: Attack+30 Pet: Rng.Atk.+30','Pet: "Store TP"+11','Pet: STR+2',}},
body={ name="Pitre Tobe +1", augments={'Enhances "Overdrive" effect',}},
hands={ name="Herculean Gloves", augments={'Pet: "Mag.Atk.Bns."+13','Pet: "Store TP"+11','Pet: AGI+9','Pet: Attack+11 Pet: Rng.Atk.+11',}},
legs={ name="Herculean Trousers", augments={'Pet: Accuracy+17 Pet: Rng. Acc.+17','Pet: "Store TP"+11','Pet: STR+5','Pet: "Mag.Atk.Bns."+5',}},
feet={ name="Herculean Boots", augments={'Pet: Accuracy+21 Pet: Rng. Acc.+21','Pet: "Store TP"+11','Pet: INT+1','Pet: Attack+14 Pet: Rng.Atk.+14','Pet: "Mag.Atk.Bns."+2',}},
neck="Shulmanu Collar",
waist="Incarnation Sash",
left_ear="Domes. Earring",
right_ear="Enmerkar Earring",
left_ring="Thur. Ring +1",
right_ring="Varar Ring",
back={ name="Visucius's Mantle", augments={'Pet: Acc.+20 Pet: R.Acc.+20 Pet: Atk.+20 Pet: R.Atk.+20','Accuracy+20 Attack+20','Pet: Accuracy+10 Pet: Rng. Acc.+10','Pet: Haste+10',}},
}

with these attachments:

Optic Fiber 1+2
Auto-Repair Kit IV
Armor Plate IV
Mana Jammer IV
Inhibitor 1+2
Attuner
Target Marker
Turbo Charger 1+2
and something else in the final slot depending on ilvl of mob, either more attack, accuracy, or multiattack with a Coiler

gently caress man, the delve boss of morimar basalt fields is no joke. We lost two trusts very early on but held our own for a good portion of the fight. At half health we lost the tank, but still recovered until he hit 23% and proceeded to half max hp, stun and silence us all. For the third time in the fight.

Them I learn you can dispell his aura, and of course we had a RDM. Oh well, another time I guess. I need his horn and ring, so I'll be at him again later.

Win10 should let you download DirectPlay when you try to launch FFXI, failing that, check Google for the Direct X 9 installer and let that run. I had to do that to get XI working on my new laptop.

Hi, so I've been playing FFXIV for a couple of years, but I've been pretty curious about FFXI. I played MMOs back then, but never really tried FFXI. Heard they made it a lot less punishing and difficult, which is perfectly OK with me, saw it was on sale for $10, and since I am a big dumb idiot with no impulse control, I am now a Tarutaru Warrior named Frostypox on Asura. What have I done? :cripes:

Actually getting into the game seemed to be the first boss since setting up your account and logging in and poo poo was... not intuitive.

Creator was finally officially quitting, which is impressive he stuck around this long despite never really playing. You don't really have any options available in terms of passing down the head honcho position in game, either, so his hands were kinda tied there.

He also mentioned some LS drama involving banned members repeatedly getting pearls back, so some issues with sackholders I guess. I don't really pay attention enough to their conversations to know.
