I changed the gear set to incorporate Ihina's and Ladyofhonor's suggestions. I agree with both of these. That's a great weaponskill set to target if you want to exclude HQ abjy pieces and random augments.

Thank you everyone for the responses!

By achievable, I meant non-HQ abjurations. For Reisenjima gear, idc about augments since the stones are free and can spam as many as I want.

Can the Demonry Core be replaced by Jukukik Feather, seeing as I have one for my BLU?

Hurr durr, ofc it can. What the hell was I thinking when typing this?

Why bother obtaining two "meh" Shijos when you can just as easily get Taming?

People need August and things from the event anyway if they haven't been doing it.

I would LOVE to get Tamings but my server doesn't do SR unless you are fluent in JP lol. I'm sure other servers are having similar issues. Could server hop but it seems a little desperate (or would it simply be necessary at this point? )

Is it that hard to make a group? Linkshell? :|

90% of the English playerbase on Valefor are super casual and very lacking in gear and skill.

So that nixxes shouts (when a trust is literally better than a human player, it's bad)

As for everyone else, they got all the SR stuff they want and getting them to go is usually like pulling teeth.

In short, I missed the wave :(
I wouldn't be surprised if there are similar cases on the other less-populated servers, but it is what it is :D

Jim, you're asking if a piece with 4 dex on it can replace a piece with 4dex on it.

Guess.

Is anyone else having trouble getting angel skin from ANNMs since the update? I've done one everyday and haven't gotten one since.

I figured I'd throw out a current "attainable" TP set while I was at it. Note this is merely a listing of useful pieces for reference and not necessarily intended as an actual set. Make substitutions where applicable. (dudgeon/heartseeker's, asperity, plunderer's poulaines +1, Ginsen, patentia sash if you can't get reiki) etc etc etc...

ItemSet 342123

There are probably items I don't know about yet so if I missed anything obvious feel free point them out.

You are way over on dual wield, unless this is some sort of solo salvage set. In which case you could use a little more dual wield.

With capped magic haste you need 36 dual wield to cap delay, thf gets 25 from traits, so you need 11 dual wield from equipment and gifts. However if you have no magic haste you need 74 dual wield total. In which case if you have 5 dual wield gift you can used the floral gauntlets and Taeon boots and as long as the augments on your boots and cape add up to 9 you are set.

Point still stands. The earrings and belts suggested are not very useful except in situations where you won't be buffed, like salvage. You don't need much dual wield at all and going over on it actually hinders tp gain.

This is what I've come up with:

ItemSet 342175

- Only at 203 JP
- Canny Cape: DEX2, AGI4, DW4, Crit DMG1
- Herculean Gloves: DEX13, Acc20, Atk26, TA2
- Herculean Boots: DEX7, Acc13, Atk25, TA4

I realize I'm at 14% DW. Dropping Canny cape would reduce me to 10%, though conflicted if I should even do so, and if yes, which piece to use. Lupine Cape/Bleating Mantle?

For neck, I have Lissome/Clotharius/Asperity too. I suppose all 4 pcs are similar?

Edit: Subbed in Adhemar Wristbands.

Adhemar is superior for gloves. And I prefer Kentarch belt +1 for TP if I need acc, or Chiner's +1 otherwise for lulz.

Heca/Lustratio seems to be cheap. I've bought all 4 of my pieces for 40m or under. Probably best just to farm up the gil and wait for someone to sell.

I have the bonecraft for it. I'm not going to pay a ridiculous mark up for something I can craft. If anything I should be the one selling it at a 25 mil profit.

I'm starting to feel like a broken record droning on and on about angel skin, but I might have found another place to farm it. I was doing MMM for the accuracy vorseal and one dropped from the gnoll on maze 9, Skoll. I had 6 C.C. or whatever when I fought it but since then I haven't had it drop again. I tried to look up what all drops where in the mazes but the information I found is scarce. Anyone know anymore? It could be a useful farm since you can go into MMM every hour as opposed to ANNM which is daily.

Just came back to mess around with the game. Just got to 99 on THF again and have no idea where to even start. Right now I'm rocking the 5 sparks pieces and the sparks dagger w/ a random offhand. Nothing else. Any suggestions on where to start? Going to be working on doing all the missions for accessories and such, but still even not sure where to begin.

It's a new character so nothing is done at all. Just level 99 with a few rhapsody quests done.

I'd say just do missions, find a LS, and if you see them talk about skirmish, or anyone need x/y, ask if you can come.

Alright, so what do you guys think about cape augments?

DEX+20, acc/att+20 is a given. Do we go STP+10 for TP? Crit dmg+10 for WS? WSD+10?

Sadly I pretty sure you only can get one aug.

Types of augmentations
The types of augmentations an item may provide varies by type. A list of items and their properties are given below.
* Only one property may be obtained per item.

So what SE meant is one per catagory then sweet. Actually that still doesn't make sense though cause both acc and att are from same aug item wtf.

Acc/att are the same augment, so there's nothing confusing here. The choices are acc/att, racc/ratt, macc/mdmg, eva/meva.
