How is BLM as a Salvage farmer these days?

slow. a job like BLU or THF farms much faster because you can't just run through a salvage zone (where no trusts are allowed) one-shotting all the mobs with nukes...you'll run out of MP too fast and have to rest.

Now, I love farming nyzul for tokens on BLM. Probably 2nd to BLU in terms of speed/ease.

lol, BLM is one of the best job for salvage(maybe just blu can do quicker i think) ! i did arrapago 3 or 4 years every day in less of 20 minutes, and killing all gears (i didn't redo it since 1 year i think, so more notable gears now)

My best run was 18 minutes,
no need trusts
no need cures (did /war many times by error)
no need rest

I have an intermediate set right now and I am wondering on the theory of Shiva ring +1 vs Mujin band.

I have 43% (working on reducing to just 40%) cap from other gear plus 16% MB2

so not sure about mujin would be 5%+16%? is that better than just having a shiva +1 ?

Mujin being burst 2, it's not something you realistically get to replace.

So, I’m newish to blm and working on a HQ death set. That being said I am noticing that this gear guide has a main focus on Burst Midcast for death. Does anyone have a “Free Nuke” Death set they are willing to share? I am making this set with little intention of bursting and more for mowing down stones in dynamis and don’t see a point in having MB% gear since I want to just straight 1 shot everything. The mechanics of death have me a bit confused but idk just lookin for a bit of advice here. Even a link to something I could read on would be helpful. Thanks.

This is incorrect. midcast focus for death is about MP not MBD. The sets for precast/midcast are made the way they are to have death go off with the highest MP since MP is the main modifier

(MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)

The Amalric MP augment path in combination with its high mab make it the gear of choice (primarily)

Okay, so I have 3/5 amalric+1 and swapped them to pathA for MP.
I guess now that I’m looking closer the only real burst focus is on the neck/static earring in that list. First time I’ve felt overwhelmed with a spell or a set of gear in a while.

MP is the hugest factor and magic damage. How does magic acc fare against MaB? Just curious here I don’t see macc in the equation. Like would I be worried about gettin resists? I think my MP is above 2100 right now with a few pieces to change around but should I be aiming for higher than that? Not gonna have vorseals but will have double dark weather and probably voidstorm2 most times I run this set.

Edit, does Ebullience boost Death, I also assume I’ll want to use the recast time JA with sch sub for this?

if your wanting to 1-shot stats in dynamis i think youll need about 1300mp on wave1 and 1600 for wave2. would eat a stewpot for macc

Remember you can get +100mp on a Griov staff as well

I'm on a bit of a Black Mage kick given its potential within Dynamis D and the new need for me to create proper free nuke Death sets. I couldn't find a good resource that clearly explained the way Gearswap treats manually-set priorities. Given the importance of maintaining high Max MP and Current MP, I found this to be a bit frustrating.

After some fiddling, I made a tool that does it for me. Anyone is welcome to use it. It's been verifiably accurate thus far.

There is a default priority built into gearswap. you can use the priority command to overwrite it.

This is handy for death idle/precast/midcast and PLD where HP swaps

In my limited testing, gearswap appeared to pass from top to bottom/from left to right by default. It's got other limitations though. I noted within the sheet what I observed.

Figuring out what was right and wrong without knowing those limitations was probably the hardest part, so my hope is to save others that trouble.

Yep rip BLM taking the shaft again from se. I dont think any of this is worth it for BLM. Hell thinking I was praying for mbd2 or something nice but no int boost worth a dsmn and manawall.

Anyone mind sharing their gear setup for "free nuke equipment" - For head slot is Archmage the best [since getting lucky with Merlinic is so random...] thanks in advance
