Is Falcorr still the best pet for Dynamis (using Brethren Axe)?

0.5 nice ;) i always wanted that lol

A Good Pair of Crocs is listed as repeatable. Haven't tried it though. Good when you are spamming Marj Ravine Reives and only getting Velk Necklaces and Masks, and not the capes you want

Just returned to the game in June, trying to get back into the swing of things, but I cannot get the Gobbiebag VII quest (60-65 slots). All the goblin wants to do is ask me about cavernous maws. I have what is listed as level 9 fame in Jeuno according to Mendi. So what am I missing here? This is getting annoying.

Have you tried trading the items regardless? Shot in the dark ><; sorry

Talk to him > Say you have seen the maws. > Talk to him again > He'll ask for the items.

you sure you got the correct fame reqiored for it? double check wiki

does pop'd kings still enrage?

Yes, but you're doing something very wrong if they're alive long enough to do so these days.

nah.. asking coz a thf naked autoattaking it w/ tk... -_-

Can someone direct me towards an up to date tp set and ws set for mnk? I read jinjo's guide but it said it was a bit out of date. Can someone also tell me what usukane pieces are good including the sub versions? Thanks alot on advance!

Sets depend on your buffs, target, and much else. If you want to be a competitive DD, you're going to have to learn a little common sense to assemble multiple builds. A set someone makes for you is unlikely to be ideal for the event and buffs you have in mind. Try getting motenten's spreadsheets and comparing the gear you have available to you.

Don't be that guy :(

Pretty sure he's watching that guy and hoping it rages on them.

I've been away from the game for several months now. I had several hundred silver mirrors/riftsands collecting dust in my mog locker. Those pretty much worthless now considering the new weapons must put magian trial ones to shame?

Anyone now if being Rank 5 (Advisor) in each Coalition matters, or do you only have to get them to Rank 4 to decrease the cost of Wildskeeper KIs?

for magitian trial 838, do i need to be wearing the trial staff to trade the bottled pixxie to the fay spring?

I bet this is in here - or somewhere - but I can't find it. I remember from the past update, that the skill+ stuff made a bunch of people through a fit. But then, "word" got out that it's not the same as what we think it says, and it seems like people settled down.

But lately, I've been seeing a lot of people treating it as if it's the same as it always was, and I'm not sure which way is up anymore. So, aside from the "doesn't apply to offhand" part, what's the deal?

Thanks.

no

Addition of items increasing combat skill strength
Some weapons that have displayed item levels have the effect of increasing combat skill strength.

This increase in combat skill strength differs from the effects of attributes such as "Sword skill +X," and are calculated independently for main and sub weapons.
* At present, this increase is added only for a specific subset of equipment. Other equipment will be made compatible with this functionality once the August version update is implemented. (Added on July 19th, 2013)
* This functionality will not be reflected in the combat skill section of the status screen.
* For the hand-to-hand skill, values have been set with consideration given the fact that damage values increase as the skill increases.

That's what I thought but other than the number won't show up in the combat skill menu, and it's separate for main and offhand, I don't know what the "functionality" is. :\ Maybe I just need a nap.

It grants the full accuracy and attack. It just doesn't work for offhand or show in the skill menu. They're (possibly?) dropping 40 base damage off oatixur, and claiming it's to offset the 20 it gains from h2h skill, that's whats on the test server anyway.

BGwiki has this confusion description about Dread-Spikes: "Drains a maximum of 50% of your max HP without enhancing equipment."

Does this mean that HP+ gear doesn't help?

Are gear still guaranteed from wildskeepers? Just did a 4 minute Colkhab and one of my mules got 0 drops whatsoever. Mule was in the bc the whole time, threw a few stuns and an embrava. Got 2250 bayld at the end, but 0 drops. We pulled at 99%.

I realize Colkhab drops are trash, just curious if anyone has experience. Don't want to facefuck the new ones and screw myself out of a club.

You can get nothing if the game gives you a piece of gear you already possess. There's also a participation threshold you need to reach for drops.

It's referring to gear that enhances Dread Spikes (i.e. Bale Cuirass). HP+ gear counts.

It's really easy to hit the threshold by just tossing out some cures. My alt's whm, sch or brd always beat me on cor for points by just curing a few people occasionally and keeping up buffs.

I did a Colkhab run last night and I entered at 20% and thought I was screwed but I stood on it, took as much damage as I could and had both chars cure each other and anyone else I could and managed to net gear on both chars out of it despite being a 7 min fight.

Have we figured out where the Bronze mattock cordon and the Bronze shovel cordon come from yet?

I want my increased imp. storage and decreased refresh time like naow :|

Are Manibozho boots good for mnk,thf,pup, blu? I just want to know that I didn't waste my plasm on a worthless piece of gear.
