Apples to oranges analogy. You assume everyone who has Ampulla paid 170M (or whatever) for it and then whatever it is to use/play each time. It comes from Trove (or Gobbie Box), maybe it was free. is a thing though, so philosophically I don't agree with "getting an Ampulla for free." You chose not to sell it, thereby foregoing 170m, so it cost you 170m whether you like it or not.
It's still an insanely valuable item and provides a boost unlike basically (literally?) any item in the game, so I don't think the price tag (or the gil you throw) is unjustified, but I don't agree that it's a "free" item.
If you get a KC from Up In Arms and then don't sell it, you got a "free" KC also, but you also are essentially "paying" 1b gil to keep it, the 1b you could have if you sold it instead of holding it. |

You lose the artifact armor titles when you reset the quests so it wouldn't surprise me if you lose the shield title.

Just to confirm, is 71 subcrafts good enough for HQ2 or is 72 required? Asking because the idea of farming more crafting torques after a day in the boyahada tree with nothing to show for it is gonna bring me to tears.
The other thread mentions 71 but I've seen people recommend torques, not sure why.
Rather slow grind up guild points for their +1 items if 71 is good enough.

If 200k gil for an increase is a bad investment (subjective opinion), then so is HQ gear with literally +1 stat. HQ necks, food, cheer effects, REMA/Primes (dealing 99k vs 90k w/e), Master Level 50, Balder Earring +1/Skryrim Cord +1, etc. Horrible strawman, horrible.
If you bought your HQ gear for one event, you can use it for all of those other events at no cost until it gets outdated, or SE adds some augment (UNM gear)
After the 170 mil investment on HoxPulla, it becomes pay-per-use |

How can I can I use a macroable, sendable, or windows command to lot an item. Abyssea pop items are rare, so treasury doesnt work well if I want a single, varying character to lot something.

When you map out BIS (Best In Slot), you consider all options. I still remember when Nyame came out, some people raged that Path B WSD was unreasonable to include in gear sets because not many people could obtain the Bumba V15 clear. It was a silly suggestion, since people DO indeed want to see the best possible damage or speed-to-tp set possible, whether they can obtain it at the moment or not. It's a future goal anyways, but it's also just good for people to see the improvement in damage straight up.
Hoxne Ampulla is buyable (9 in stock right now on Asura, last few sold 170m), so it's accessible to a lot of players far more than Nyame gear ever was. Don't people still care about BIS? I would think so. I can't see any reason why you wouldn't include it in TP sets now, since it's a huge DPS increase for every job that can make use of it without conflicts with ranged/ammo slot.
Cerberus.Shadowmeld said: »Edit: Am I just that stingy?
Stingy how? Gil is virtual currency, it's not real or used for anything if its sitting on your character doing nothing with it. If you bought a piece of gear that improved your damage, you would pay gil for it in exchange for numbers. How is paying-per-use for the same exchange any different? You're paying as you go, instead of all at once up front (plus you can choose when to use it, so it's actually a more efficient use of your gil).
I do spend money, but I also don't earn oodles of gil. I can't ever imagine myself using Hoxne just because gil has always been something I've struggled to earn over the years. Sure it's virtual currency, but I'd much rather save gil for equipment or other things than just spend it blindly not seeing how much it's taking from me every time I use it. I feel like I'd end up sooner or later stuck somewhere because I don't even have gil to HP warp or something (I know this is irrational, but it's me).
Not saying this is you or anything, but sometimes I feel like people are either sitting on multiple KClubs to sell or to them buying gil is so trivial that it doesn't mean anything to them. That isn't me. |

Currently at 1050 titles and losing medal still brings me to 8 - maybe because you've completed all Ops?

is there literally ANY real use for having the BLM/SCH/SMN set? Maybe one piece of it is BiS for SMN but without any Magic Burst on any of it, does it have any use on BLM or SCH?
It's a marginal upgrade for free nukes, but that's it. No one free nukes things so this set currently has 0 value in the game. |

Or is it best to save materials for the HQ+2s? This is not a thing
you can turn in the NQ piece and the +1/2 piece and have your rank transfer over
I mean, you are actually spending an extra jewel uncursing the NQ/+1 piece, so you are saving those materials. Maybe you also spend another gem transferring the augments as well? IDK, I'm not a poor. |

Fenrir is best boi and you'd be upset either if they locked you down in a well to turn your energy into mana to use in their city
I don't know why, but this kinda reminds me that Bahamut (seemed to have) reverted to his original animal form while he and Selh'teus were stuck in Al'Taieu. I don't know what animal he was before being Bahamut, but the idea of Bahamut as a random lizard, stuck in an an Al'Taieu terrarium is kinda funny.
Legitimate question, does the game ever tell us where the Star of Tavnazia came from? IIRC, it's a piece of Emptiness magicite that was found in the Baptismal Box in the northlands. But do we know anything else about it? Iirc, Prishe refers to it as being partially responsible for what lead The Shadowlord to Odin. And Shikaree Z knows it's what drove The Northlands Expedition to insanity.
I don't think there's an exact origin given to it in game, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd imagine that it is magicite born from when the Kuluu destroyed The Ark of Vahzl, after all, all other magicite shown in game forms in the pools beneath fractured pipes of The Crystal Line.
So an entire Ark blown to kingdom come. Whatever remained of the energy it was funneling, soaked in that viscous black ooze, that tar of the mother crystals... That coalesced into the black magicite that is The Star of Tavnazia. |

I'm interested in how the GMs will do it, since from my limited understanding, the Judge gear is pretty bad by today's ilvl standards. I guess they'll use some kind of kill command or else the GMs have access to unlimited HP like Yoshi-P does in his showcase videos for FFXIV content? Or are we going to see these Balmung's of the Azure Sky get equipped with some new hardware for this task?

Ok, so we also know crafting shield definitely gives points, and possibly a lot because medal of altana was worth like 12 titles or something when I checked at rank 8 so who's going to drop their shields and make all the shields to see if they can reach mastery 10 from all the shield titles? lol |

need 9 dual wield to cap, that setup's missing 5. is it really a TP gain loss? I have no idea. figured 1 overcap DW would be better than 5 under.

Quote: any thoughts on SCH vs RDM in that setup you posted?
The question is too vague. Elaborate on what fight you're planning this for. Because again, it's still not clear to me what SCH is there for (skillchains extending, magic bursts, or just healing support). There's very little to heal in this setup. |

I always complained how lazy it was my mother beef cooking.
She just pick the meat, drop in the fridge and that is it.
But today I started to look at it in a new perspective:
What if I stop thinking she actually cooked a beef but instead she just brown it?
So I grabbed the meat, added salt and garlic, then fryed it.
I guess this was the trick all alone. Now I finally can have an edible meat at home There is this learnable skill. Its called cooking. There are books about it. Even in Brazilian Portuguese.

The DD BRD guide would be incomplete without a discussion of how Bard can use Ampulla every 10 minutes after songs for 100% DA, which makes the DA on the set (and Bunzi's) useless. PDL is questionably useful for BRD in many situations.

The body hands legs and feet replace the current "BiS" option by a small margin. Whether or not that small margin is worth the price tag and months of limbus grind to you is another question entirely.
If you already had the prior good stuff, R30 nyame, Ashera, Bunzi hands/hat, Volte legs etc. then I'd recommend you do these pieces further down the line rather than rushing them, but to each their own.
At +1 rather than +2 you're simply missing 1 STP/DT/Crit/Acc/Atk etc. per piece. The Augment of DA will remain the same
To add to this, if you want to start working on the set and you have all the pieces Dex mentioned, then I would probably mostly focus on legs, body, feet in that order. |

I wanted that new gear so badly I didn't even think. Just went and bought the cursed +1 body and went a created it in limbus. Totally regretting not going for the legs first since I already own Ashera Harness...

I mentioned it in other thread. You forgot Hoxne Ampulla :)
Telos is better than Brutal. You dont really need Murky ring, 40%DT is enough. You can use Crepuscular. Bunzi's hat is better at R30.

ItemSet 401913
*if using an ambu cape instead can cap DT, otherwise DT-45.
*more subtle blow, 49% with Auspice & Eburs+3.
*cap dual wield with subjob's haste samba.
*gil toss.
*occasionally triple white dmg.
*if doing flash nova swap do as crazy said. if seraph strike, only swap main for daybreak.
Some optional upgrades would be:
Hoxne Ampulla
TP Bonus Club offhand
Crep Earring (more Acc and dont need DA w/ Hoxne)
Then you could also swap neck for Null neck and Ring for 2nd Chirich +1. You'd lose 5 DT for a fat sum of Accuracy
For 99% of content I feel like 45% DT is good enough in a TP set.
damn, you beat me to it.
I like the Stone / Eabani combo. I wrote it off |
