We tried Sam to cover Slashing+Ranged but then blunt came out and just auto lost. Don't really have a Smn, tend to really only have access to Blu, Pld, Sch, Blm, Geo, Sam. Can you explain how Selh'teus works? If I could reliably gain TP on Blu I could cover Slashing+Piercing+Ranged with dart+Magic but still have the blunt issue...I just realized Blu gets club skill. If Sel'teus is reliable I guess that works.

Edit: Whats the best melee club Blu can use?

I usually have Heavy Strike already set so that covered blunt right there. As for gaining TP after shields go up, I'm usually BLU/DNC and you build TP via steps onto the shields or having 5 steps + temp items helps there.

After getting to know those NMs with my trio, I usually replenish my temp items before every fight with Dremi, build 5 steps and 3000 TP before battle. Depending on the NM, either I easily break the first shield with Requiescat or I do CDC > CDC > MB and rip hate from the tank instantly. Last time, the trio I normally hang with crushed all these NMs within 1 minute so they only had time for 1 or 2 shields max.

Not true. Each smock gives you an additional option on the furnace unique to it's craft.

Alchemy - 10 earth fewell to lower overload damage
bonecraft - 10 fire to raise elemental surge %
cloth - 10 light to give the furnace a larger heal than the repair option
cooking - 10 light to give the furnace a DoT that lowers impurities
fishing - 5 fewell of current day to give elemental surge %+
gold - 10 light fewell to add a few extra seconds until a readying explosion finishes
leather - 10 ice to lower speed pressure builds
smithing - 10 water to increase average feed
woodworking - 10 earth to reduce furnace hp loss from time/explosions

I'd say the eyes are quite Tom Cruise-like.

Always good to learn new things, thank you. The visible affect of the Smocks is to lower damage though, so it's semi-true!

What's the optimum Amber Light for farming the best available items in Abyssea chests? I'm at 255, but I'm getting so few chests that have the items in that I'm beginning to wonder if this is the wrong way of doing it.

best available items

as in augment stuff? or non-KI stuff?

I've read two sides to this, capping amber would give you a chance at better augments, but capped amber would also give you big chests which generally has KI's/temp items, so good sweet spot for me was 128+

As in best augments, yeah. I'm getting too many KIs, and assumed it should be lower for items. Is it possible to get the 'best' augments at lower?

If you can try and find the right amber before the big tier chest, you might be able to get the best aug. But others have said capped will get you the better augs. You just need to be lucky I suppose and have patience, GL

Well two hours of capped Amber isn't working, so it won't hurt to try. Thanks!

Relatively sure it isn't possible to get the best augments out of t1 chests.

Keep in mind that chests have 5 tiers(as can be seen by destroy chest, 10-50 cruor). While you can (extremely rarely) get a t5 chest at 0 amber or a t1 chest at 255 amber, you won't see a 6/6/6 dark ring or a refresh hairpin in any chest lower than t5.

Well, I stayed awhile with capped Amber and I was getting strong augments (best was 5,5,4). After re-entering and leaving Amber at 80, I got only the one giant Chest and many more Dark Rings, but alas, they all had garbage augments on. On the plus side, I forgot how nicely they NPCd until I got back to town.

Thank you for the input! I will have a bit more patience and, failing that, I'll throw my Adoulin Ring and grab a Vocane instead.

Oh, would have probably helped if I read some of the previous KIs... and here I was struggling to get to the final one. Thanks!

Does anyone have a strategy for breaking Escha Caturae shields without having a Cor or enough people to cover damage types? We haven't really been able to figure out a strategy that works 100% of the time, been using Req but can't really gain TP once the shield goes up so hard to do.

Do I have to come play with you? GAAAWWWWDDDD.

Blue Magic if Req is down. Tis E-Z

WHM BLU COR (ur mule!), call it a day.

Not always the case, there are shields that blue magic doesn't cover. Most of them you can zerg down pretty easily before a shield appears though, I've only had annoyance with Khon usually.

I can't seem to reset my Paladin AF quests to redo them. I've definitely gotten all six of them in the past and no longer possess any. I had the body in storage which I've tossed, that didn't fix it either. I'm not sure what else I could be doing wrong?

Has anyone done any testing to see what the Unity item bonus loss is like from not being in the #1 unity? I'd like to have Sylvie (#3 unity) but am not sure what I'd be losing. Would I lose the +1 of the Refresh on Assiduity Pants+1? How much accuracy would I expect to lose on Emet+1? etc.

I don't have much info but I can tell you if your not #1 Unity you will lose 1 refresh from the pants. My Unity happened to drop to 2nd one week and was quite surprised that even 2nd place wasn't enough for max.
