Trial of Magian
Aye, I was camping Serpopard Ishtar with a full alliance last night... Poor *** has never had anyone even get off their chocobo to kill him, now he has full alliances after him.

I'm not blazza but I will tell you this in any situation you are meleeing much the double attack on with higher dmg is good. I'm currently done with the first 3 trials on that path need 3-6 more to go depending on if I wimp out and don't do VNMs for the higher dmg double att.
NOthing else the dps on them is pretty dang good. The stat ones are kinda meh if you got koggles already. 4str/4dex >> 4 str 12 att for blu. Could do -5pdt 4 vit one for blood tanking situations maybe. Combine that with with genbu and probably prevent more dmg then earth staff. While still keeping swd so you keep spells accurate. Maybe the eneffects might be coolish. Siren.Talonn

It takes time, like all the good stuff in this game. Im currently on last stage for the: DMG:40 delay:(i forget) occasionally attacks twice sword. 3 Serpoptaurd Ishtar 3 tottering Toby 3 Drooling Daisy (this can easily be done within a reasonable amount of time, unless the NMs decide to be stupid. 400 birds - This is ANY form of bird. Meaning bats, and colibri work. 300 Cluster Bombs - My current stage. This one will be interesting because of the lack of mobs. I might wait for some people on my server to catch up so we can duo/PT on it. Odin.Blazza said: @ Nightfyre: more importantly though, blu can't use joyeuse.

As far as it being hard to get or no, depends on how much interest your shell has in doing VNMs. The reason I said it will probably prevent more dmg is because after soloing alot of lvls of parrying/shield on rdm/blu the dmg difference from random dagger/genbu vs terra staff whatever the vit strap was negligle. And seeing as I was going large numbers of mobs at the same time with phalanx to finish the dmg down even small difference were usually pretty noticable in survival rate.
Now sure blu has no shield skill. But this will be another 5% so yeah. Really 36 def with cocoon vs 5 more pdt.. not to mention you are actually accomplishing something with a swd on lol Speaking of which hmmm might want that for rdm. Siren.Talonn

You can fully unlocking Antea as i am without VNM items.
VNM items are need for certain paths, but not all. This may affect the outcome of the attacking twice effect. Siren.Talonn said: You can fully unlocking Antea as i am without VNM items.

DMG40 Antea with 2 attack chance is Non-VNM route.
you only need to kill 300 cluster bombs. VNM Antea is delay related and keeps the DMG23 you need to trade 10 Ruth(whatever's) nails Siren.Talonn said: DMG40 Antea with 2 attack chance is Non-VNM route. you only need to kill 300 cluster bombs. VNM Antea is delay related and keeps the DMG23 you need to trade 10 Ruth(whatever's) nails Yeah to get the 40 dmg you need to go VNM... I mean really why would the easier route get the better weapon?

Ruthven isn't hard fyi. ANd yes, i checked Magian moogle now.
Cluster bombs get Delay -6 which can then branch to 10 nails - top sword or 500 vermin for delay -12 to 600 demeons for delay -14 to delay +36 occ. attacks twice simple mistake. I check the stage after and thought i was on that one :\ And as i mentioned before, Ruthven isn't hard and can drop (so far found) up to 2 nails/kill. T3 VNM can be killed with a little more than a PT with no problems. For those of you who don't do end game, i suggest you do because your gonna be whining yet again that the good stuff requires end game items. Offline

Currently camping Ramponnaeu the frog in the past for polearm Trial 434. 4 DRGs here :D I dont know if any other job does this but, do you take it in turns to camp? Ive always done these with loads of DRGs, different timezones so some are sleeping while others are awake. While some sleep do you keep killing NMs so the other person gets the objective? Or are you like :O Hey, gtfo, work for your achievment!

Yeh, my LS are on T3 for the VNMs so shouldnt be a problem geting help for them. I always kill things if people are asleep though, they do the same for me. I tend to end up camping the NMs with the same people anyway, we seem to be going at the same pace. Finally getting close to a nice lance! Trying to be the first in my endgame LS to get one XD
For my dynamis/social LS im the only DRG... so, high chance of me being the first/only =/ lol. Been camping NMs for 4 days straight now.

Been camping NMs for 4 days straight now. yea i pretty much finished my lance yesterday, at least up to shoggoth, but now im stuck. Pretty sure the T2 VNM's will destroy me solo, so i guess im going to have to wait until the rest of ifrit population doing polearm catches up /sigh. |
