Are there key items or ROEs that increase Unity Accolade gain? Doing Gain Exp with a newer character and it is getting 300 per and an older char with a lot of content down is getting 570. Both in Sylvie Unity.

Check your set objectives for any differences first
Then it comes down to what those are

If it's do dmg and it's a equipped character vs relatively new character this will have a big impact.

Gain exp however might be influenced by the amount of XP you can gain especially with rov ki

Anyone got a good addon to manage these across characters

Rhapsody KI Azure, Mauve, and Ochre. 30% each if you havent done your missions

Thanks, forgot about the RoV KIs. New char is only a few missions in.

For WS wall, do SMN / BST non-damaging abilities count? Like Blood Pact Wards (mewing) or Leech TP drain kiss?

I swear I read that they do, or maybe I'm misremembering and it's only the Rage pacts / damaging BST abilities that do?

Question about the wording on Emp Cor body wrt Triple shot


Does the piece have be equipped prior to JA usage and be locked in the entire time to gain the benefit similar to the old relic war and drk boots (where removing the boots will nullify the bonus and re-equipping wont restore it) or can you safely remove the frac after use and re-equip it for /ra? If so, does it have to be equipped in precast or midcast to get the triple shot bonus?

Don't need to use it for the JA usage, ONLY need to use it in the midcast for the shot.

bump du du duuu

one at a time until you finish ROV, then just get cleaved during an xp campaign on everything else.

you'll still have 2100 job points to learn how to play the job if you need it, that is the new 99 baseline really.

What's the best way to do kindred bc for rem's chapter 2? I remmember dying to SMN AF sometimes.

I have all jobs but smn pup bst

Rune tends to be survivable enough.
But all depends on gear etc.

Were gonna need more context on how many PC's and what setup.

I just blast the NM and 90% of the time it doesnt get AF off in time. That other 10% of the time I just eat it knowing ShellV, Barblizzara and a low-tier DT set with modern 119 meva gear will keep me alive.

I mean solo and I wasn't sure it was possible to kill and avoid AF or not, rarely do it and haven't done it for years. Gonna try BLU it

Theyre susceptible to stun, so sudden lunge should stun it long enough to kill it before it triggers AF.

Did it on BLU and on N can engage another mob and one shot it with SB from target select, can probably do it on D. Might try VD. I remember doing VD on brd a few times to sleep everything and do smn last.

Sudden lunge did work on VD.

Does the new volunteer ring? Come from Guggul ja?
Lacertilian Ring

BLU can solo VD without any issue. Gear creep is so strong now, in MDT set you're not threatened with dying. You can also save diffusion for Magic barrier when fighting the summoner so your trusts survive. Sleep/Entomb everything and kill one by one. Sudden lunge lock everything, 4 min or less clear

Well engaging another mob on D I could 1 savage blade the SMN anyway. I dare say I might be able to on VD but didn't try. I would try and sleep them if I was going to do it on BLU again.

Interesting thing, the kings have been updated to 119 since May I believe but they still drop the lower level rings. I don’t think the new two rings and the hands are obtainable yet unless they are a VR drop.

rems 1-5 VD is easy on blu;

Go in > entomb or yawn/dream flower whichever is best > kill em 1 by 1, lunge stops them for about 7~10 seconds and mages drop in 1-2 SB, melees could take 3 or more(mnks love to guard if you dont swing around the back) do BSTs last because charm

Looking for some guidance on Sortie Casket #B1 (Vanquish 3 Biune foes within 30 seconds of gaining enmity.)

Im mostly doing solo runs as cor, and folks were saying you should be able to just solo this easily by using magic WSes on elementals, but I dunno if my gear is just too *** or what but this seems way off, is there a combination of trusts that make this more viable or is this just an issue for cor?

I tried Shining Blade, Burning Blade, and Aeolian Edge (on elementals weak to light/fire/wind respectively) and it just seems like the damage is way too low to get there.

ItemSet 400023

This is my current set, mind you my Nyame is still pretty low rank (I've been focusing my odyssey efforts into gil rather than ranking up my gear to buy a Rostam, after I get Rostam done then I'll start ranking my gear up), but my Nyame is around... Rank 8 I think? I don't recall.

I'm hitting for around 9k on elementals or so, which seems way too low to zerg them down in 30s. Using Matk and Regain rolls, Joachim+Sylvie+Arciela+Uka+Ygnas for trusts.

Is the magic sauce gonna be skillchain+magic bursts, with someone like Shantotto II?

Leaden Salute. Either through spamming, but more reliably just 3-4 stepping it can down say wind eles pretty reliably. Leaden > Fast blade > Leaden > Wildfire. Can rep fast blade with wasp sting/viper bite if main handing dagger

Needs more Leaden, less Sword WS.

Aight, I'll take a look into whats involved to get a good leaden salute set online.

I presume Molybdosis is a good entry level gun to go for still?

I'll run the numbers and see how it compares to Deathlocke

Moly, doomsday properly augmented, TP bonus is best if you can tackle the missing macc. Deathlocke can work i suppose but wont be better than the other 3. Assuming you lack any remas as arma's a fine one and DP is obviously the best

Doomsday I presume you go with Matk / WSD / Magic Dmg? Is that considered the best non-DREAM option? I presume between:

Doomsday: 25 matk / 7 WSD / 10 Magic Dmg
vs
Moly: 30 matk, 25 AGI

The former comes out ahead usually?

25 mab / 7 WSD / 20+ AGI on doomsday. Magic dmg does very little for magic when their base dmg is already very high. Could also do 20 macc/20mab on snow if you wanted some extra accuracy.

How do you deal with the fact Arciela will be very likely to AoE aggro the elementals, but you also cant really pull them anywhere because they spend like half their time casting spells?

I gave this a try and while the damage seemed almost there, in order to have enough tp gain to 4step, I needed to use Arciela for Haste II.

But Arciela loves to do AoE stuff, which would aggro multiple elementals and then she'd go down pretty fast.

I also have found Uka is my best bet for maximizing haste, but she was very very prone to interrupting my 4 step skillchain so ended up more hinderance than help

How are you maxing out your attack speed enough to 4step, without trusts *** it up?

Has any testing been done on stun ws potency?
How long can it be? What's the cap?
Any particular ws better than the other?
Is it all because of the changes in macc?

I was curious if hobaku could do similar to leg sweep
Shoulder tackle
Flat blade
Did I forget any?

unresisted I think it goes
shock squall > leg sweep > sudden lunge > the rest
if you mean ws only, nothing comes close to leg sweep.
