Bushido - The Way of The Samurai (A Guide) V. 2.0
Oh sorry, I read it wrong. You're right, it seems between 1.3+ to capped that Prosilio pulls ahead. Not sure exactly how to apply this yet though.  Friend's mule just got Meditate Duration +8 on Takaha Mantle. Yes, I'm mad at her.
 We've gotten 4 Takaha Mantles among people so far but no WSD% spotted yet.

That seems pretty crazy, will this put us 3000+ on a single meditate...? Ragnarok.Ejiin said: » Meditate duration augment is in the .dats, so fairly safe to assume it'll have that. Question is: how high can it go? With capped JP, SAM is already at 2250 from a full meditate; with an augment of +3 or more we could get 3000 from a single meditate. excellent augment for an already excellent cape!
 Time to make a rana set, and can sum1 tell me the 6 step skillchain again? I been doing Shoha>fudo(distortion)>Kasha(Fusion)>Shoha(Light)>Fudo(light #2) as a 5 step skillchain with Tsurumaru. And Id like to see new best TP/WS sets with the Sept.9th update gear if anyone been toying around with that. I know i need to get windbuffet+1 and Augmented takaha but what else is there now? Asura.Natenn said: » Ok can someone explain why Wakido kote +1 beats otronif+1 w/ DA+2? im gettin an arguement that otronif+1 is better w/ DA+2 but i dont see any in the TP sets here. The worst bandwagoner :(

Edit: Or even WSD as a 4th stat like we see on the frontpage on a Cor mantle. Ok forgot about this, I actually meant to come back say I'm sorry about trolling with the 6 step - that might actually be useful info for some.
You can 6 step light like this if I'm not very much mistaken (6:30AMZzzzz): Rana -> Shoha (Fragmentation) -> Fudo (Distortion) -> Kasha (Fusion) -> Shoha (Light) -> Fudo (Light) Hi! I rarely post on here. I'm a returning player and just wanted to thank you for this guide. Really well done!
Hello!
What's better? 25 strength 25 attack or 34 strength for fudos? I'm thinking of switching a leg piece. Thanks Lakshmi.Amymy said: » Hello! What's better? 25 strength 25 attack or 34 strength for fudos? I'm thinking of switching a leg piece. Thanks Depends on your buffs and target obviously. So I have a dilemma. I read this guide and it gives me all these equip sets to strive for but it doesn't really tell me how to go about getting them. I usually lurk and don't make posts so I've been looking through the forums for info on this but not really finding it.
So my basic question is what order does a newly 99 sam go in terms of item progression? Like when can I be sure that I have enough acc to do SKCNM's on D for example. An other one would be how well geared do I have to be in order to do skirmish or AA V2 competently? Then there's Delve. I feel like you need delve gear to do delve makes no sense to me. I also find a lot of times ilvl doesn't mean much because I find ilvl 117 gear that has less acc then ilvl 109 gear (why hello thar sparks vs reforged af/relic). FFXI was typically a horizontally progressing game and the new ilvl things still throw me for a loop. Since I'm a returning player these are questions that pop up over and over for me and most guides I read don't answer these questions. I wasn't sure if I should have just made a new thread or just post this in here since this is the guide thread but, I was just wondering if any one can shed some light on this as I think this could help other new/returning players. Also if this was stated some where earlier just point me to it, I'm only human =) Kujata.Trenaus said: » So I have a dilemma.

Also if this was stated some where earlier just point me to it, I'm only human =) other people will try to tell you to live your dream and sam all the way, but the reality is you're holding back any party you're in if you bring an undergeared DD, while a 3 song+3 brd or decently geared whm won't In this game it's best to have several jobs in case yr Linkshell needs it or shout groups shouts for it. Why require delve weapons to do delve? Because this game takes a lotta time. Why do 45 minute tojil when u can do 18 minute tojil? I mean if someone is yr friend then they can bring u along as a 7th. Even when u are a good samurai what happens when the party don't need a dd and needs a white Mage?
As for gears to go for relic reforge 109 can be a good start. And the jse great kitana can help u well until you get a shark great katana. Amano 119 is also good. Gl.

Also if this was stated some where earlier just point me to it, I'm only human =) When Delve first came out, nobody really had 119 gear unless they previously cleared it. Nowadays, alternative options are readily available. I'd say you'll need at least iLVL 115 to be pretty decent in Delve V1/Skirmish V2. For skirmish V1, anything iLVL will do. As far as AAV2 goes, it's all dependant on the difficulty you select; Normal is lv109, D/VD is 119+. According to your ffxiah profile, it looks likes you came from the 75 era? Assuming this true and you've never done any SoA content, here's what I recommend to get. Get a decent GKT to start with. Likely the sparks one will be easiest for now. The latent works just like a Blau Dolch (TP < 1000 & WSs) http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Ichimonji-Yofusa Get into some Yorcia Wield skirmishes and obtain all the Otronif pieces. http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Skirmish Get into Rem's Tale chapters 1-5 parties. Stock up on as many as you can. You'll need Sacred Kindred Crests for this, easily obtained with current login campaigns. Start reforging AF/Relic to 109. http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Reforged_Artifact_Armor#Samurai:_Wakido_Armor_Set & http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Reforged_Relic_Armor#Samurai:_Sakonji_Armor_Set You're safe taking all of it to 109, though you will want to pick and choose which to 119 as it can/will get expensive. High priority piece is AF hands +1. Get as many SoA missions done so you are granted access to Wildskeeper Reives. These are pretty tough fights against Naakuals, the Delve counterparts. You need to complete SoA mission 1-6. http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Seekers_of_Adoulin_Missions, http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Naakual, http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Wildskeeper_Reive#Wildskeeper_Reive While in the process of doing all this, if you have a semi-decent WHM, BRD or know friends that can help, get into a Foret de Hennetiel Delve clear for a Tsurumaru, the best non-RME GKT. http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Delve & http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Tsurumaru Others will definitely chime in on other stuff to do as well.
