Any recommendations for what to grab in World 3 with Blue/Red/Beastmaster/Dragoon? I got Mighty Guard already, but it feels like the only means I have of doing damage is Air Knife Aeroga and I feel like that isn't going to cut it in the Rift (currently does ~1,800 at level 25).

Also level up spots would be appreciated. Don't really care about AP though.

e: Also also: I remember seeing a google doc with a list of a bunch of pixel remaster mods, does anyone have that?

My preferred level up spot is in the Ronka-tileset area of the Void - specifically, the room right before you go into Phantom Village. There's a nearby healing pot and the mobs have useful drops (Elixirs and Phoenix Downs), and the XP is pretty decent.

In terms of damage, the best you can bring to bear against NED is slapping !Catch on everyone and throwing four Dragon Aevises at him, assuming that still works on PR. Each one is 25% max HP damage, so you're shearing 9999 off of every part with each one.

Aevises makes sense for sure, thanks.

Another question, my friend is having issues with the world 2 Exdeath fight with his knight/zerker/geo/dancer party. I really don't know what to tell him since most of the things I'd have thought of are only helpful in hindsight (ie. farm reflect rings). Any ideas?

The big trick is being able to survive Almagest. There's a few different ways you can pull this off besides levels for more HP, like Shell or hitting it with petrify or aging. How many levels you need otherwise depends on your jobs' vitality. Some can comfortably get it done at those levels. Others need to go higher. It deals a little over 1600 on average without Shell or aging in play, so shoot for that much HP (plus a little more because of Sap).

I had Gladiator so I "survived" Almagest by way of blowing it the gently caress up with targeted tactical nukes before it could go off. Hooray for Finisher! It's not an instant kill, it's not a wibbly status effect, it's just a big chonky gently caress you, and sometimes that's enough.

I'm doing a Typhoon Run with Berserker Risk. Out of curiosity, does the BR's percentage trigger just once, or is it RNGed with every draw of a new Job? Cuz I got lucky so far and have Blue Mage, Red Mage, and Thief after just finishing up Karnak Castle.

Cure Beasts, the rabbits that show up in the grasslands out by moore, drop elixirs if you want to farm them. Without a source of theft or the foresight to farm reflect rings, your friend is going to need a lot of HP and healing.

Thankfully Geo is one of the less fragile (not)magic classes. Unfortunately, Dancer is literally the most frail in the game.

Might be better to slap the Dancing Dagger on the Zerk for more Sword Dance potential and use the Main Gauche (or an air knife) on the dancer; late w2 is when axes are at their absolute worst and zerky is also your most consistent damage. That said, give the Aegis Shield (if your friend didn't run the numbers let it burn) to your Knight or better yet, one of the two squishy classes via Equip Shield; chucking high potions/elixirs/phoenix downs is far more important to keep safe from spells than Zerky.

As far as I've been told, it triggers only once unless you click the option to allow duplicates. Incidentally, doing this when the risk is maxed is the only way to do a !blame run anymore.

Sheesh, that's... pretty loving brute force, honestly. Without reflect rings they're kind of in for a nasty time. Only thing I'd suggest is the knight go in with Icebrand/Ice Shield so they have some manner of self-healing that isn't items.

Of course, you still need to beat the boss, too. I'm still brainstorming, so I might come up with other ideas or change this before the fiesta actually starts. I'm welcome to other folks' ideas too.

This was easy to get with Geomancer. In fact, 5 of the Skull Eaters are dead before Cray Claw died.

https://github.com/VulpineAmethyst/Exdeath allows for several nifty things on the GBA version. XP/ABP/gil multipliers, several QoL abilities innate (Dash, Passages, Pitfalls, etc), a laundry list of custom NED sprites from the community (several are mine!), and you can choose one (or none) of the optional balance patches to apply at the same time, some of which are more radical than others. (I like each for totally different reasons.)

I hated King Behemoth before Azulmagia, because although break blade murders king behemoth easily, not having that save/heal point for the bosses inbetween the two drained my hi-potion supply severely lol
