As far as doing NNI on RDM (Topic!!)...
/blm for -ga (or /geo for tier 1 -ra i guess) and a good nuke set is all you need.
Alternatively if you just group everything up. Malevolence or Tauret up and Aeolian Edge should 1 shot pretty much anything in there.

You are not screwed with order,
Your whole description here is basically what I would call "get screwed". It doesn't mean you will fail (especially in NNI, since you dont even need to exit successfully, since Tokens are not a main target here), but loosing 5min doing stupid lamps and getting almost nothing is huge middle finger to your progress. Most other floors takes 10s-2m. There are also order lamp floors with 1 min running between lamps, which put Diabolos nightmares to shame. I hate order even while 4 boxing (I leave one char on each lamp, so I dont need to run to them again). If I would do it solo, I would feel like Dementor appeared next to me every time I see order floor.
I have been doing NNI lamps solo for several years. It can suck if you get the circumstances I mentioned. However, lamp floors are not that common to begin with, and many of the lamp floors are not that difficult at all. Out of all of the runs I have done, I only had to warp out of maybe 5 of them because of lamps. And if that lamp is on a floor right before a boss, I'm going to just endure and finish it because that +2 is worth more to me than the new KI i can go get. There's maybe one large map that has 50 doors that you should just chalk that up and go grab a new KI though. If you spent over 5 minutes on a lamp floor then you should probably bounce, it aint worth struggling, especially when you get lost. But on server like Asura where there's sometimes a line to get in, I'm going to make the most of that 30 minutes while im there. Getting screwed is overblown though. Most lamp floors take a minute or two at most.
And I didn't even get into //fillmode, which undoubtedly makes lamps like nothing since you can see through walls.
And I didn't even get into //fillmode, which undoubtedly makes lamps like nothing since you can see through walls.
by the way, points in this event are NOT based on floor you exit on, but rather total number of floors cleared.
Someone who goes consecutively floors 1-20 will get more points than someone who does all random jumps and only clears 15 total floors on the way to 60.
I average between 1700-2500 tokens per run solo. I typically aim for 60 and the plan to hit every 20th. (Random jumps until 1-2 prior to the 20 mark, then single jumps up to that multiple of 20, then return to randoms.)

I'm trying to breakup my RDM spells into groups for my various sets. (Magic Accuracy, Enfeebling-MND/Potency, Enfeebling-INT/Potency, etc). However, I'm having trouble when it comes to enfeebling duration. Which spells either land or don't, i.e. where potency doesn't matter so much?
Can someone tell me which RDM Enfeebling spells I can forgo Magic Accuracy or even Potency, ...for enfeebling duration?
Bind/Gravity? Is that even right?

INT: Blind
Skill: Poison, Frazzle, Distract
Potency only: Gravity
nothing: Dia, Silence, Break, Bind, Sleep
no idea: Inundation (probably either potency or nothing)
There should be both a duration & magic accuracy set for all of them.

Bind has an INT Potency.
From BG-Wiki: INT may decrease the chance of Bind wearing from a monster being hit.
Useful? Possibly. Worth gearing for? Mehhhh I wouldn’t bother? BUT if there’s ever some fight where you really wanna bind and nuke repeatedly, at least now you know it’s a thing.

Could've sworn silence is MND and sleep is INT? Could also totally be wrong though.

Ahh was quick reading on a lunch break. Gotcha.
I've been going through my sword collection for Red Mage and made a list of possible effective combinations that I'd really like to get feedback on. I definitely do not get to use all of these combinations as much as I would like and sometimes the right situations or events just don't come up either. However, let's discuss.
Do you think any of these combinations could be improved upon? (Obviously, we're talking about 'all things equal' so let's assume appropriate WS sets and the like, just talking about main-hand/offhand pairings here, and their intended uses.
For example, I feel these combinations are good in terms of accuracy or TP Bonus situations, but besides Tauret, is there a good offensive (offhand) weapon for Red Mage?)

I have mine setup like in these categories, note all these sets have a very healthy dose of MAcc.
potency - potency from "Enfeebling potency" gear only
mndpot - potency from: Mnd & "Enfeeb Potency" gear
intpot - potency from: Int & "Enfeeb Potency" gear
macc - pure MACC, also highest enfeeb duration set.
skillpot - potency from: Enfeeb Skill & "Enfeeb Potency" gear
skillmndpot - potency from: Enfeeb skill, Mnd, & "Enfeeb Potency" gear
It just so happens that my highest MACC set is also my highest enfeeb duration set which works out very nicely.
Note: I do have a rule for Silence Specifically when used with Stymie to use 5/5 Empyrean for composure bonus.

You can get much higher enfeebling durstion by using the Composure set bonus with Empy armor, so a highest duration set can't be a highest MACC set.
Of course, I guess I should've been clearer that it wasn't the highest duration set, but my highest duration set within the 6 sets listed above.
Composure Bonus 5/5 is indeed the highest duration you can get atm.
Speaking of composure though, I find that outside of Stymie+Silence I personally feel that casting enfeebles in full composure set to be, dare I say, detrimental. These days saboteur is ready to go again by the time your enfeebles are wearing out on basically anything that doesn't keep erasing them.

Your list is missing the very good Crocea Main / Daybreak Offhand for Seraph Blading things to death very handsomely.
I *think* that is the highest DD potential combination we can get in situations magic WS is valid or we aren't getting massive amount of melee / phys buffs or are unable to leverage the self SCing potential of Almace, and even then maybe...

Isn't Bio dark magic? Does potency/duration gear really work on it?
The attack down is static,but the dot is affected iirc.

Hey there, just wanted to offer some input (and I'm sure there are others that can refine what I offer):
1. Murgleis R15/Thibron/Ullr - Death Blossom Focus
- Allows crazy SC capability, and will also allow 6 steps (under the right circumstances) for seriously awesome damage. Aerix went into this a few pages back, and Apex mobs seriously melt by the time you hit the 5th or 6th step.
2. Almace R15/Ternion Dagger +1 (or Tauret) - CDC Focus
- W/ 630 Enhancing / Temper II, you can easily self-light for some pretty impressive numbers with good consistency.
3. Murgelis R15/Thibron: - Savage Blade
- I like this combo due to the TP generation.
4. Excalibur R15/Ternion Dagger +1 - 3 Step (DNC)/Beefy Set
- Doesn't require a bow for Fusion, and can 3 Step for fairly decent dmg (esp. if you have DNC subbed).
- Offers some utility w/ Regen +30 and Refresh +3. Combined with a Telchine Set (+15 Regen) and enhancing duration, you can easily hit 10+ min, giving you a relatively cheap 54+~ regen per tic (AF wears of pretty quick though). W/ DM augged Phalanx +5, Dashing Subligar blink, you're pretty beefy.
5. Crocea Mors/Daybreak - Seraph/Sanguine Blade
- On mobs that are weak to magic, wow. Currently R19 on Crocea Mors, went into Dyna-D Sandy for Wave 1 solo farm, put up Geo-Malaise/Dia III (no Indi-Acumen), pull Blue, dmg anywhere from 85k to 90k on all mobs (minus statue), shooting at 2.5k-3k. When mobs are more resistant to Seraph Blade, can use Sanguine Blade, which is more static and sometimes better since the dmg is still awesome at 1k.
I can't speak for daggers or clubs since I'm still gear hoarding for RDM, but I know they have their uses. I think according to one of Aerix's posts, he's stated that Maxentius/Thibron Black Halo > is better than Naegling/Thibron Savage Blade due to the multi-attack from Temper II synergy.
Please feel free to add info.

Thank you for going through the list!
#1 - Totally. Love Mythic/Thibron/Ullr for DD.
#2 - I hadn't considered #2, but your offhand suggestions seem like good approaches to increasing offensive capability. (My offhands where more for Acc/TP Bonus, which may not translate as potently for CDC in particular)
#3 - Do you mean to savage splam in R15 mythic? or did you mean Naegling/Thibron?
#4 - Not a fan of the mythic personally, but I should add it.
#5 - YES. This is the elemental WSes I forget to include in my list. Elemental sword WSes with offhand Daybreak!
What kind of numbers can death blossom put up with a R15 Murg? It seems to have a decent base fTP, and with the additional +50%~ dmg, id expect this to be much better than CdC (not including SC potential). Just curious if anyone has any data on this.
In my experience it’s weaker than cdc even with r15.
That being said I literally only use it to get AM 3 up and start off my multi step

Finally getting around to farming some Odin.
Can someone give me a rundown on how to solo this on D/VD? I've seen some mention of basically using level 1 daggers so you don't feed TP and basically just enspell him to death. Is that basically all there is to it, besides debuffing/making sure silence is always on?

Not level 1, DMG 1 Daggers. Top priority is feeding zero TP (No physical damage on attacks and don't let him land an attack). This means keeping him silenced and keeping shadows up full time. He gets TP from landing Kaustra as well so keeping him silenced is very important.
I've gotten away with 1-2 hits on me accidentally, even having kaustra landed on me. Best to keep stoneskin and capped DT if possible so if he does land an attack through shadows, hopefully your stoneskin is strong enough to absorb it. His Kaustra is pretty strong but I've survived it by reapplying stoneskin and healing myself until it wears.
He's never resisted para/slow/addle/frazzle as far as I can remember but resists Silence pretty regularly. You'll need a pretty heavy Macc set for landing it regularly, and even then expect a few resists in a row. You'll also need high accuracy and distract for D/VD.

Sub ninja, get a qutrub/ceremonial/wind dagger. fully buff up with enspell/temper/stoneskin/phalanx/etc. Trusts should ones with static/passive buffs, and not generate TP or enmity.
Go in and sabo frazzle/para/slow/addle, then silence usually sticks in 2-3 casts.
Then dispel/addle/distract/poison2
Engage and afk.
Its really slow and dragged out solo I caved in and got a MNK friend to duo on N and tag TH. With malignance and BIO3 he was able to survive the KO move, with 5 min kills. We were able to spam more frequently than solo. And if we had a COR or BRD that could go as a 3rd to boost defense and DPS, we had just as fast D kills.

Sub ninja, get a qutrub/ceremonial/wind dagger. fully buff up with enspell/temper/stoneskin/phalanx/etc. Trusts should ones with static/passive buffs, and not generate TP or enmity.
Go in and sabo frazzle/para/slow/addle, then silence usually sticks in 2-3 casts.
Then dispel/addle/distract/poison2
Engage and afk.
Its really slow and dragged out solo I caved in and got a MNK friend to duo on N and tag TH. With malignance and BIO3 he was able to survive the KO move, with 5 min kills. We were able to spam more frequently than solo. And if we had a COR or BRD that could go as a 3rd to boost defense and DPS, we had just as fast D kills.
I can see why you went the group route...solo is slowwwwwwwwww. Thanks for the tips regardless.
