For The Shinies! A Guide For Thief

Apparently someone NQ synthed a Kheper Jacket with 4% WS dmg on Bahamut... If that's the NQ, they're the same as the HQs

Honestly, Magi, considering how ridiculously good the new gear is? I'd hold off on spending anything.

Smooth synergizing still results in 4% so no hq aug for nq hexed

Typical @.@ Ah well

I have wondered that not doing it myself or knowing any personally who have. Wonder why it is not shown on BG or other information sights that the NQ is even augmentable? Or am I just misreading the post?

NQ Hexed Armor does not get the same maximum augment as the Hexed -1 does with an HQ augment.

Because we just found out? You can edit the wiki.

Well if I fu*king knew I probably would??? put away your as*hole it smells funny.

Really dipshit, you're wondering why a publicly run fan site is not instantly and throughly maintained regarding every aspect of a 4 hour old maintenance?

Still smells funny. Must be that shyt in your mouth / could be anal leakage. I am not sure.

RAWR!!! I know right (*^.^*)

Seriously, name calling? How old are you?

Hey guys. Mandalic Stab is making a come back.

I was having fun at others expense, I am sorry Mr. DiCaprio.

all you did was make yourself look stupid. not stupid as in you don't know things, but stupid as in that ***was just stupid.

"Stupid"

Question on NQ hexed jacket. Is it a better option compare to Toci for SA mercy since you can aug them with 4% wsd right now. HQ jacket just out of reach for me.... Thanks in advance.

Prolly is about attack but I think that if it doesnt beat it, its very very close. Same for TA > Mercy prolly?
Waiting some1 to play on SS.

Think the skadi head, body, or hands pieces will be used much at all with the new update in mind or does everything under optimal now need to be updated? haha just asking because I've gotten enough paper to nearly upgrade something & now I'm not so sure.

I'd go ahead with Skadi hands. Thurandaut head is close enough that visor isn't a great concern.

I have Kheper jacket winning by a good margin for TA+MS but not so far ahead of Toci's for SA+MS and still losing to Thurandaut for Exenterator.

Hands should still be best option, body was always situational and imo not worth it, head has been sidegraded once again by Whirlpool, but Whirlpool is by far the best head for evasive content. This is an option that will be out of reach for a while, I suspect, so unless you're willing to settle with any of the (usually) lesser alternatives for now, I'd still upgrade it, but after hands.

Kinda tired of all the influx of TP heads and other gear they choose to give us. I'd like to see Hecatomb replaced, not Khepri (with easy-to-get gear) for once, but I suppose I'm a bit biased.

Playing with the idea of them allowing you to use REM WS with new weapons with out the aftermath. Coming to the conclusion that for a 99 Mandau owner the new NQ Aphotic Kukri (Not megga HQ)weapons despite the higher damage will not keep up with 99 mandau's Ws MS ws bonus, aftermath effect, nor additional effects. But it slaps the crap out of having a twashtar 99 off hand. So after some upgrades to REM some may stay competitive.

However, if you use Rudra's WS, still with out the aftermath, you come really close 99mandau/kukri set up. Mercy is only strong becasue the boost the gave to the WS after empy's where QQ'd about.

Depending on where this all goes, Izhiikoh / Aphotic Kukri is going to be the way to go using Rudra's, even with no aftermath.

And if this is the case, God I wish I would have taken the gil, time, effort for 99 mandau to just make twashtar 99 first.

I did 99 twash a few months before mandau just to troll. Its all irrelevant now though with these new weapons, im mad gimp.

But imagine if as a 99 REM owner you could get the benefits of your relic WS using new weapons?

Edit nvm read the post in the R/E/M thread 99 a weapon to gain access to that weaponskill on any weapon ... lol owned.

Any modification to TP sets since this last patch (weapons withstanding)?

Manibozho Brais will beat Khepri/Thaumas for TP; Thaumas will still be relevant for accuracy sets. The rest of Manibozho has potential, but can't know until we see how the augments end up. DW pair of earrings...we'll have to see how strong the DW is.

Whirlpool Mask, Honed Tathlum, Ej Necklace +1, Hurch'lan Sash, and Tati Earring +1 for accuracy sets.

Nahtirah Trousers for full evasion and hybrid sets.

If using THF in Delve events, I'd recommend to switch out evasion gear for some accuracy in your active inventory. Can't evade worth a damn, even on normal monsters inside Delve.

Thinking this is the most reasonable set, until new gear is actually acquirable. Guess I'll need to do some Kaggens.

Suggestions?
