Ive started working on mine as of late and am just curious to see what the cap is and what others are using for a MDT set on war, i realize some people will have no need for this thread, but i want to become better at my jobs and war is my best right now.

input /equip ear1 "Merman's Earring";
input /equip neck "Twilight Torque";
input /equip head "Merman's Cap";
input /equip hands "Medb's Gauntlets";
input /equip ring1 "Coral Ring";
input /equip ring2 "Minerva's Ring";
input /equip back "Lamia Mantle +1";
input /equip waist "Nierenschutz";
input /equip legs "Inmicus Cuisses";
input /equip body "Coral Harness";
input /equip ear2 "Merman's Earring";

I realize there are better items that are Rare/ex, but at the moment im having issues gathering some, IE valhala helm less than 10 mil on my server, or even a VW body which seems to not exsist 0/25 lol, just working on my sets and taking any suggestions from pros at this sort of thing.

That's it? No rights to complain until you're halfway to quadruple digits.

This is a good starting set seeing as how Shadow Ring is fairly easy to obtain now.



Ogier's Helm is an excellent substitute for Valhalla helm, and I've seen good drop rates on all the Ogier pieces. Ways to improve on this set are replacing Iron Ram body with Mekira body and replacing the MDB in other slots.

That's actually normal for VW. Unless of course you're undeserving, then you get three in a row.

SE said a while back that the body drop from 1 NM had the same drop rate as the body drop from the others. I'm not sure where the Athos, Rubeus, and Ogier stand in that but, one body isn't more common than the other. Luck is lucky.

They had to be referring to T3 bodies. Athos/Ogier are definitely not in the same 'rarity' slot, Bot Rex's extremely rare drop is the weapon, I assume the same applies to Ig-Alima.

On topic: Do Noct Mail and Engulfer Stack? It would seem obvious but I'm not 100% sure.

Only 7 on Fenrir right now, lol.

And if they have a chance to proc separately, then their effect is better when stacked.

Okay, thanks for the helpful information thus far. Adjusting accordingly.
Let me see if i understand it, shellra 5 puts MDT cap at 30%?

Capped Shellra V gives you 27% MDT 29% with augmented AF2+2 legs. So you would need 23% or 21% from gear to cap. You can also put in Brachyura earring or sheltered ring (which do not stack) for an additional 2% MDT when Shellra is cast
