I'd love nothing more than to use Ragnarok unironically again.

I chose Lehko's before and I'll choose it again, because I'm a *** for crit.

I know crit builds aren't achieving anything particularly noteworthy, and at best you're pushing 20% of your overall DPS through white damage in the best crit builds with an Empy like Ukon or Twash, but gd is it fun and satisfying.

I felt like I had plenty of options for hitting capped damage in certain content, so getting a ring that let me put together builds for fun was more enticing for me personally. I'm sure the +4 STP over Chirich +1 isn't changing anyone's x-hit, but not having to worry about hitting haste cap in pretty much any gear configuration was a nice bonus too.


Violently agree.

its repeatable 100% of the time on this PC. (only this account).

Kinda tempted to just delete everything and see if that fixes it, but don't want to loose the macros and what not.

I think you hit the highlights and this post serves as a reference for players trying to decide between them. I'm not so sure about "players struggling with accuracy" though, since several prominent rings have as much or more accuracy than lehkos.

IMO cornelia appeals to jobs with less native attack like BRD, COR, NIN, SAM, RDM, etc. Since they have a harder time hitting the attack cap, especially when loaded up with PDL (SV Aria).

It also has a more broad appeal because it's useful on nearly every ws for nearly every job, whereas the uses of lehko and ephramad are more situational.

When ephramad shines, it really shines though. It has many complementary stats that are notably missing from cornelia.

Really it ultimately comes down to your job selection, buff situation, WS and weapon choices, and play style. Which is why there will never be a consensus. If you primarily play solo, doing content like escha NMs, sinister reign, Omen, and vagary, your answer will be different to someone who 6bots or always plays with a party full of full power buffs in endgame content.

TF?!? These are 2 separate, independently playable characters (separate POL ID's) on the same server with identical names?

Is this on PV?

Server: Asura
Floor: Central #3
Location: As entering last room at the end.

Is there any up to date BLU DPS spreadsheet available that includes recent changes from like end of 2025-2026?

How to properly deescalate a situation:

Look if you don't want to make alternate sets for different rings that you pick depending on the content you are currently doing then don't, I realize there's a ton of people who only do sortie odyssey and limbus in full buffs and if that's all you do then you know the ring for you. I mostly duo these days, not in full buffs and do a lot of older content.

The most endgame I do now is Limbus I primarily use rng + geo trueflight where ephramads would do 0 and as its hitting capped depending on the day now even in limbus so Cornelias doesn't seem great either.

Also the store tp is the main value, crits only does much in actual white damage builds, although I do use those as well sometimes.

Extremely uncommon, extremely easy content that doesn't matter, sure.


Which are, without exception, very bad WS that you should avoid using at all costs.

The only situation I can think of where "crit WS" are relevant would be Shining One WAR or SAM, so...good for segments I guess?


You're not wrong, it definitely does improve tp gain in all situations. Though if you have +150 STP, adding another 4 STP to your build doesn't help THAT much, tbh...

And before we get into "but it also has crit rate, which increases your white damage!" Um...a 10% chance to increase your white damage by another 100 is not significant when you're pounding 70,000 WS every 4 seconds.


IDK, Lehko's is usable, but I don't think it packs anywhere near the punch that Cornelia and Ephramad do and I think the usefulness is wildly overblown.

I don't think I knew anyone who rented games for extended periods, people would just spend $2 for a day or two to decide if it was worth $50. I remember renting Zelda II and told the guy how far I got and he said I did better than most (bought it shortly thereafter, my saves are still there 35 years later!)

I do know lots of people who spent lots of money on magazines to get better at games.

Yes if anything pdl has something a lot closer to real diminishing returns because you may not have enough attack to support it. Also there are elemental ws that are very strong but don't care about pdl. There are a ton of situations where if you do meet the requirements for ephramads to be good you're running into the damage cap as well.

If damage cap is a concern then lehkos shines. If not attack capped or not using a physical ws then either lehkos or cornelias are great. Lehkos also decent in crit ws.

I primarily use lehkos because its the most well rounded helping improve tp gain in all situations. Ephramads is great for sortie and odyssey and limbus where you will often be super buffed, using physical ws and still not be damage capped but you do need a group that will actually super buff.

Battletoads was a hard game, I think I finally beat it in college, but you didn't need to look anything up to beat it, you just had to be good.

Some other games were hard due to having unique levels that required different skills to get through vs. the normal ones those stupid speed bikes in battletoads did most people in, not too mention inferior play control etc..

I think Bayou Billy was like that too, many levels different (some used the gun!)

Skip a day to get +1 dig the next day, wear the White Racing Silks to get +1 dig, that's literally all I got.

Sucks to only do half as many runs but the number of times I could maybe have gotten the chest on the next dig is large enough that it feels better overall. Marathon not a sprint and all that.

To say Ephramad's is overrated is to say you don't really understand pdl. The higher pdl you have, the more attack you need to fill it, so 10 more is not "a waste". So long as you're not running into the damage cap of 99k (in which case neither ring matters), Ephramad's is going to push your damage by giving any excess attack a purpose. It's essentially WSD anyways. Whereas wsd, the more you have, the less value increases provide per point.

If you're running aria and prime aftermath, argument can be made Ephramad's does MORE for you than Cornelia. Ymmv

Aaaah, tasty Cocacola.

On second thought, thats probably unfair considering 99% of people couldnt beat that game back in the 90s.

Shoulda given em Battletoads

You'd think they would need to add additional augments to the rest of the REMAs as well too? I don't remember talk of that.

Omg Maniac Mansion! <3

Most of us have Aria and Prime AM at this point.

WSdmg has diminishing returns, PDL does not. Nyame r30 alone has 58 WSdmg plus 10 on a cape at minimum.

Ephramads also has 10str/dex/agi, 20acc/att.

The only time Cornelia's can compete is when your att isn't capped, which would also mean you don't want Aria and your AM isn't doing anything. (v25s for instance)

There are also jobs that have lower amounts of PDL (like RDM) where getting the full 10 PDL out of Ephramads is easy to utilize.

I don't think you can bulletproof win every time in the harder zones, buburimbu took me aaages to get 10 wins. and in Altepa i've got lucky and found the spot in like 3 digs, only to still not win as after 7 tries on the same spot failed to dig up the chest.

biggest advice is to triangulate - use 3 points of reference instead of 4, so you spend less time closing in on it. check this out...

I'd be down for this if anyone is doing this

Some day they'll let me be a SMN/BST and have two pets

The picture checks

Gonna regretfully say no. Yes, the healer trust will pro/shell as soon as you summon them, but that's not as useful as you'd think since (i don't think?) you can summon them in instances like gaol or htmb or anything else where you'd really really wanna be buffed before engaging instead of waiting for monberaux to do his little buffy job ability thing.

I think the one thing Fellows are really good for is allowing you to have 2 little pet hp bars stacked at the bottom of your screen when you're on a pet job. Maybe not being so lonely if you have to farm some coffer key or quest item in the overworld.

Does anyone have a chocobo skillup area guide that is current? I am currently A45 or A40 in Yuhtunga Jungle because of the possibility there might be still skill up test items but I am not sure of that. I heard from someone that they only used 3 areas to skill up at?

Also, is Egg Helm really that useful? I never got the message "Your chocobo appears to have gained valuable knowledge..." from any of the eggs. Maybe they are a waste at some point.
