For The Shinies! A Guide For Thief

ok, fab :) thanks alot.

Gear haste caps at 25, even though you need 26 in gear to cap due to how rounding works in this game.

Hence, you need 49DW

tried lair for a few hours. Along with a few more wkr. no capes.

Can someone explain the alluvion yorica skirmish? I cant seem to find anything worth while to read up on it.

http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/45843/alluvion-skirmish-yorcia/

Honestly, just wait a few more days, empy is being reforged in the next update. I would just get my ducks in a line for that. Farm some chapters, farm some gil. Maybe get some of the things done for mythic. After the richest players on your server buy all the upgrade items from vagary they need, the price will drop, and the common man can afford them.

when is that update? And is there any info on what that will entail? (maybe my notion of getting all 100/100 +2 might not seem so crazy after all)


Few questions. It doesn't look like the mobs aggro, but do they link? Is there a map for these things or are you running blind?
And this iv wondered since the first yorica skirmish came out, but that was around when i had to leave. Then i just forgot until i was watching that video. - I noticed your mage was using t1 stone. What/how makes that strong enough to be the worth while spell?

It's tomorrow.

do you have that item set listed on here? Id be curious to check it out, i dont usually play blm, just one of the random jobs i leveled.

~ was just looking through old blm equip; basically skirmish armor and some random drops from wkr's iv been doing trying to get capes; Figured 260 would be difficult to reach, but the staff drop [Baqil Staff] i got is +173 itself, so thats pretty nice. 10 from legs and back each. Nearly 200 there.

heh, im here because my main jobs equip is outdated form having been gone so long. I sure dont have 119 weaps for a job i never rly played much like blm.

However i do have original skirmish and left over pieces from old blu burn set. (rings and grip i could buy)

ItemSet 314291

hag set has a total of MagAcc+9 and MaB+18 in augs.

So i guess it would be either that or my thf set that i originally came here about.

well the goal was to start upgrading my thf set naturally, hence thf thread. Yorica skirmish seemed the next logical step. Its just finding what would work best for me in there [thf or blm] (since i have never done it.) I didn't rly wanna join the (vry few) shouts iv seen when i didn't have a clue what i was doing. - From the reading in that one thread and the video you posted, i at least have a decent idea of what to expect. So i guess now is just a matter of which or those to jobs would be better to go as given what equip i have. - I have a whm friend that can tag along if needed. Not sure if duoing there as i am is even possible, or if i would need a whole party.

first try in, first thing i run into is lorissa. Kicked my ***. Perhaps trying it at 4am wasnt the greatest idea...

Get ready those popcorn and enjoy the ***storm coming after the update!!

it wouldnt be a problem at all with a pdt set.

Amazes me tho all the people saying the game is dead but QQ about a WS?

R.I.P. THF DD, I guess it's time for everyone to bandwagon something good now.

THF nerf
SAM buff

The circle of FFXI is now complete.

Thats a magic burst adjustment.

Yes I unfortunately saw that too late, I'll show myself out.

Rudras new anchor points just slightly favor holding tp up to 1750 unlike before.

Overall a loss higher than 30% in dmg. At 1000, the loss is just 17% though.

Let's see here.

Head is ok. Higher base stats, much more acc but no atk.
Body and hands is iffy. Much higher stats/acc/atk, but no TA or DW.
Legs are meh
Feet are TH

Yeah, I made the feet right away because I was too cheap to get Chaac belt lol...

Feet are making me regret spending plasm on Chaac Belt now, suppose it's TH+1 on other jobs I guess.

dagger skill on body.. ill use for WS prob - Head is great- rest I use skirmish gear instead-

edit: yea feet will be good also, can ditch dagger and chaac

Not to be a negative nancy, but kinda expected a tad bit better. Oh well i'll take it.
