You are right. A neat trick that Rukuka taught me, is to release any npc low on mp, then resummon. When it comes back, it will be at full mp.

How do you release? /release <name>?

I think the verdict on Zeid is he is not that good for DPS because he is a DRK and spends too much time casting.

Nothing like an ilvl party member spamming tier-3 nukes instead of weaponskilling with his greatsword.

Ayame is just as good if not better than Zeid, she has not done any skillchains yet but does more consistent damage than Zeid. Zeid is a drk so he spends most of his time /wrist instead of doing dps.

I skillchain quite a bit with Ayame and Naji, it depends on who they're paired with.

That makes sense, I only had Ayame paired with Zeid. Who wants to skillchain with a stinky galkan drk?

I wonder if Shantotto will burst off of an NPC skillchain

Starting tonight Silver and I are going to be doing nightly/semi-nightly runs of either Einherjar or Nyzul (for tokens, but if we have some spark-geared players we can do Neo-Nyzul as well) around 7:30 PM Eastern. Einherjar I just need 3 people that have entrance access (ToAU mission... 17, I think? Right after you kill the Khim) to make a full party of 6 to run a tier 3 zone. Nyzul may require a little more of your attention!

The real Puppetmaster Vanity Mythic push begins now.

Always down for einherjar/nyzul runs, i'm only on floor 15.

So I finally got into Dynamis Xarcabard, figured i'd farm 2 hours or until I got my thief hands.

Got all 5 TEs, went to a nice area that I figured I could pretty much continuously pull in where there didn't appear to be any mage spawns. First mob was a kindred ninja that went straight up Allahu akbar on me. It didn't even swing its weapons at me, it just 2 hour'd and killed me before my sneak fully wore.

You're all kind of right.



The proc you land is based on the number of time extensions. If you have all 5 TE's, you will always proc red. This means there is 1 100% drop slot and 2 treasure pool slots in addition to the one that's already on the monster. These procs can be either gear or currency (though currency has a much higher drop percent.) This means with a red proc it's entirely possible to get 4 pieces of relic gear (though that would be exceedingly rare).

TH affects the 3 total treasure pool drop slots, but does not affect the 100% as that's already guaranteed and it is governed outside of the standard TH mechanic.

You sure about that? I could swear the gear and currency drop slots are separate.

They are the same. I have procced and gotten 1x gear no currency before.

Also is there any way for a fresh character to make gil?

I just want to die horrible deaths destroy everything with my BST again dang it

They're no longer a pain in any respect other than they have to be done. You can for the most part have a high level drag you along to get the items while they mercilessly murder everything, then you level thf or whm to 70 and do either of those maat fights. Leveling a job to 70 can be done in under a day.

Copycat Zero posted:

Anybody have any advice on a leveling path that isn't "as soon as you can, go leech XP in Abyssea until you hit 99"? I hadn't touched the game in about a year-and-a-half, and even when I was playing it I never really got past Garlaige Citadel/Crawler's Nest in terms of the old group leveling zones and the basic campaign areas in terms of solo leveling, so I'm more interested in seeing the zones I never really went to than I am hoping there's enough people still wanting to stand around and grind millions of XP in one zone as a giant alliance. I went from 26-50 really quickly (by my standards) on my THF just futzing around with RoE and FoV/GoV in the zones I knew about (Delkfutt's Tower, Sea Serpeant Grotto, etc.) while doing other things, but I'm reaching a point of not knowing from past experience where to go next (I need to go to Xarcabard for the telepoint RoE quest, so I know I can get some decent XP there, but, after that...).

Grab trusts and start grinding solo. You'll want to at least start the process of abyssea so you can get some cruor and start tagging maws to teleport to when you see them. Touch every homepoint you see to unlock HP teleporting, as well.

This chart isn't terribly inaccurate, adjust for gov/fov books and make sure you're keeping up with skills and gear if you're doing classic leveling. Sparks are a great way to get updated weapons through 50.

They give you weapons up to and including 99. The level 99 item level 117 sparks armor is really good. It will allow you to start working on getting end game gear.

They give you up to 50, then there's a void from 50 to the ilvl gear.

As I have no time to really play but want to keep my account around for the random breaks when I can actually get a bit of time in (usually while drinking on a Friday night), I've decided to slow grind up blue mage and collect all the spells while burning the sparks on rems tale pages for my 119 upgrades on either whm or rdm (both are at 109 now). One of these days I still need to get a Yumcax fight in to try for a tax club, how often do people shout for these nowadays?

They changed it- Dynamis is like any other zone now so you have to /sea to find out if there's room to camp.

Speaking of which, is there any particular method to get a specific relic to drop or do you just have to kill stuff and hope for the best? Trying to get my relic hands for my thief and I've very nearly collected every other possible drop in that zone.

The relic items for pre-ToAU jobs all share a common drop slot. It's random, and certain mobs in the zone don't have a better chance of x job's drop than other mobs. It took me 2 weeks of nightly dynamis to get thf hands.
