I don’t believe you have a chance with your old chocobo, and the reason is you will burn all stamina at the beginning portion of the race. Pushing you up front in the first half which makes you the target of all the negative NPC items which all will land because of the low evasion.
Final Spurt + Speed Apple is imo always the best combo.

Assumed numbers: 2 HQ chests per week, 3 matters gained (2 from HQ box, one more from NQ box), ~50k units per week. If you want to dispute 2 HQ chests per week, you're more than welcome to, but going through my numbers, I have more instances of characters getting 3+ HQ boxes per week (19/3/0) than I have of characters getting 1 HQ box per week (16), though the numbers are a bit lacking because I've taken a second month break in the time Limbus has been out, though this time to lock in on shields. It'll also assume that someone has three jobs they play, each job has two useful pieces and each piece costs 20k to upgrade. I'm not really sure how else to generalize this, some jobs have 1 good piece, some have 4, some is hands feet, some its body legs head. I'm also not including getting units outside of climbs by repeating floors, which offer a great EP gain compared to EP gain in other events (~70k/hr), though rather low when compared to EP gain in EP camps
Numbers will be for one zone only, but you can mirror it for both sides.
Week 1: 50k unit gain, 3 matters. Lets make it four matters since the first one is guaranteed so were gonna assume that first box would have been a NQ with no matter. Use one matter to get accessory, 3 more matter to upgrade to R3 (-4850). Upgrade two pieces of armor as well (-40k). 5150 unit carryover
Week 2: 50k unit gain, 3 matters. Use 3 matters to upgrade accessory to R6 (-13200). Upgrade two pieces of armor as well (-40k). 5150+50000-13200-40000 = 1950 unit carryover
Week 3: Use 3 matters to upgrade accessory to R9 (-22900). Upgrade a piece of armor (-20k). 1950+50000-22900-20000 = 9050 unit carryover
Week 4: Upgrade accessory to R12 (34000), upgrade a piece of armor (20k), all useful armor upgraded. 9050+50000-34000-20000 = 5050 unit carryover
Week 5: Upgrade accessory to R15 (46900). 5050+50000-46900 = 8150 carryover
Week 6: Upgrade accessory to R17 (39300), save 1 matter. 8150+50000-39300 = 18850 carryover + 1 matter
Week 7: Upgrade accessory to R19 (46500), save 1 matter. 18850+50000-46500 = 22350 carryover + 2 matter
Week 8: Upgrade accessory to R21 (54500), save 1 matter. 22350+50000-54500 = 17850 carryover + 3 matter
Week 9: Upgrade accessory to R23 (63300), save 1 matter. 17850+50000-63300 = 4550 carryover + 4 matter
Week 10: Upgrade accessory to R24 (35200), save 2 matter. 4550+50000-35200 = 19350 carryover + 6 matter
(has this newb not picked up any Limbus armor yet???)
Week 11: Upgrade accessory to R25 (37700), save 2 matter. 19350+50000-37700 = 31650 carryover + 8 matter
Week 12: Upgrade accessory to R26 (40400), save 2 matter. 31650+50000-40400 = 41250 carryover + 10 matter
Week 13: Upgrade accessory to R28 (89300), save 1 matter. 41250+50000-89300 = 1950 carryover + 11 matter
Week 14: Upgrade accessory to R29 (49200), save 2 matter. 1950+50000-49200 = 2750 carryover + 13 matter
Week 15: Upgrade accessory to R30 (52400), save 2 matter. 2750+50000-52400 = 350 carryover + 15 matter
Newb finally picks up some Limbus armor! They're sitting on 15 matter right now. And at no point in this journey have they obtained any units from repeating floors. Its gonna be more complicated to *** unit cost since you can pull from either area. I guess it will balance out.
Week 16: Upgrade armor straight to R9 (40950). 350+50000-40950 = 9400 carryover + (15-10+3) 8 matter
Week 17: Upgrade armor to R13 (48100). 9400+50000-48100 = 11300 carryover + 7 matter
This is a brand new char doing limbus today. For most of us, we did three months of limbus and matters didnt exist. Limbus released June 2025, Matters were added September 2025. Matter drop rate may vary by server at this point, but that first month was getting weekly NM resets.
or I could do it once a week and play a ***ton of arc raiders because its way more fun then sliming up floors 5 times a week |

Normally I agree pretty often with your thoughts Capuchin but I will chime that I feel 5 turn ins of egg sets is a bit excessive. I think 3 would've been a more reasonable middle ground while still encouraging people to engage with the seasonal event, but that one is just my opinion! It has been neat to see people actively trying to do it though. Also I agree on the WKRs from previous Vananout.
In relation to the strange apparatus rune stuff; I had some people in a linkshell I'm in say they did apparatus runs but didn't get any rune items, therefore didn't get VB credit and were disheartened. I'm guessing this is related to the "doctor status" section on the wiki? I'm going to presume people in my LS were likely skipping that part.

Very vocal minority of absolute masochist lunatics ffxiah.
The 1% of the 1%

I'm simply doing 3-4 chests per week on each zone (actually been slacking a bit on Apollyon but that's another story)
Or are you assuming that 99% of players (when you mentioned "most of us") farm 5 chest per week?
Because on a hunch I'd dare to say only a small minority of hardcore players does that.
Glad to be proven wrong though hey! I would bet any amount of money that "most of us" do not farm five Limbus chests per zone per week. Even most FFXIAH posters (by individual human being volume, so multiboxers count as 1 not 6). |

It's practically what anyone who was serious about ballista would wear, just a high HP high defense build on Monk where you outlast everything. The H2H can be Nibiru Sainti with HP assignment (augments of stat a/b do properly sync down), though the adargas have a significant delay advantage. Upbeat is in the minority with those pieces because he kept them over from ballista, I tossed all of them years ago because ilvl was easier. I highly don't anybody would have intruder earring or protecting bangles lying around. The accessories are the big things, some you can buy some you can farm. Augments are nearly impossible to farm without investing weeks of time and wasting several items in the process with fields of valor. The hands are great but are a pain in the *** to farm. Can use assault accessories to fill the difference.
Just seems like a lot of effort gathering those items just to do that fight still slower than what a naked PUP can do

There's still a few pieces of gear that can be bought at level 60 cap that are better than anything you can sync down to,
This is what I was looking for...not an exhaustive list, but I figured someone has an "Up in Arms" MNK set that they could post.
Upbeat has a set but most of those items are impractical or you'd have to go out of your way to get them unless you've done fields of valor for augments. It's really not hard to look at Ochiudo's kote and see that 20 attack is far better than any synced down pieces you can get. Ditto for brown belt or fuma kyahan with haste. Sub DRG for wyvern earring if you care. I'd just wear ilvl gear and hundred fists it down, pop chakra/elixirs and win. |

get skill books for your robot
How do I get these? Asking for someone I paid to let me call them a friend.
Ohh I misspoke. You can throw your robot on a Reive and cap it to around 200 skill in a short time though. |

Question about racing, this is my chocobo I raised aeons ago:
Jockey: Galka DNA Green Green Yellow
STR 243 - 18~19/32RP Legs and talons
END 234 - 10~11/32RP
DSC 18 - 18~19/32RP
RCP 15 - 15/32RP
Abilities: none
Personality: Rather ill-tempered
Weather: prefers clear days, dislikes none.
Riding speed 97,5%
Riding time: 45 minutes
So not too bad for racing, but clearly not ideal since it doesn't have gallop etc.
My question is simple.
I'm still missing some Official Races (Survival Race, Deadly Race, Mystery Race, Lethal Race, Dream Race), do you think I have any chance at all to win these races with enough tries?
Is it worth it for me to spam chocobucks until I can try and retry and retry again until I win?
Or are my stats so bad that I have like 1% chance to win those races so I shouldn't even bother?
Supposing there's a chance, which configuration should I use? I normally always used "Speed apple" and "Final Spurt" but maybe there's a more efficient combination?
Thanks in advance!

With the egg nonsense, the having to spend MORE gil AND items to get chips, cores, the bijou, I reiterate my statement from before. This IS worse than it was before. Possibly the first time it's been markedly worse.
It makes me very glad I already got the title and never have to do it again.

I had questioned the possibility of this build several months ago when we were discussing /war vs /nin
Recently decided to take an extended break from retail to play horizon however I took some screenshots of the build and wrote a post on my website
I still used /war from time to time but started using this set
It was a nice break from /war and could self sc consistently
Only issue was sc would get interrupted most of the time
Btw this is all for krt or locus colibri nothing else
Also I did use the fantod volley hoof build from time to time too
Always switched it up /war, hoof, or this /nin build
Right before I left I built the 2-4 axe
Which is what I had questioned
Acc is 1250 or 1270 depending on grape daifuku or sublime and ofc tandum
R15 aymur. It is a ton of fun
Literally just having fun in cp/ep pts
You can solo sc you can easily endless sc you can sc with others in the pt. I thought it would work, eventually built it, and I can definitely say it’s a good time.
With the cricket the kill trials only took 2 or 3 days
Keeping am3 up get about 180 tp from ws then jump to 600-800 tp first swing then 1100-1500 second swing
Just thought I would share
Also gold guttler dat I edited!

THE above issue has been identified as a data entry issue.
I have put in some cordiantes number with slightly incorrect values as i didnt pay attention to how flooring a negative number actual works.
This is not an issue of the new code but potential a long standing issues that o just didn't discover until now.
as i dont know how far back i made these mistakes it might take some time to fix them all but the sky and ru lude gardens are fixed now for next release

Thanks.
My server doesn't have Myriad Mystery Boxes (Treasure Caskets will appear more frequently around the three nations!) active.
The drop rate around the 3 starter nations are at a higher drop rate vs. other zones even without the Kupo Powers. You should have pretty good success farming there. |
