The 6th Ministry's Secret: A Summoner's Guide (v2)

I got Pet: MACC+26 MAB+33 on my merlinic gloves... but no BP dmg to bee seen yet. Need moar stones >:(

Elizabet!!! Your SMN is better geared than mine now!

Sorry I don't see you much anymore! Our playtimes just don't match ;T_T;. Have you left GoE?!

I see all of these sets lack any pet accuracy. How do avatars fare, especially Ifrit's Flaming Crush, with 129+ monsters? I'm thinking for my helios I'm going to have to giveup MAB somewhere in order to even hit the things. :[

Always have been :P


Nope, just time zones and stuff. >.<

Miyara just got BPD+9 MAB+18 from Pellucid Stone so... I'm starting to think any stone can grant the full range on stats. Maybe there is just a bias toward which stats each stone tends to favor.

I can only speak from my own experience but FC wrecks most NMs in there except the scorpion who just resists magic so much. I can solo most the nms with revitalizer x1 or x2 (having 1 hours up and then using one mid fight). With a GEO it's pretty much always 1 conduit, and with cor same story.

I can't recall ever seeing FC miss entirely on these mobs, you get so much accuracy from summoning skill and gifts and job points that I never worry about accuracy. I don't have nirvana yet either (though I have seen my FC damage beat at least 2-3 mythic owners FC damage, nirvana isn't everything you know when it comes down to it, it's very strong bp dmg staff but it's 1 slot out of 16 and if you don't get the rest your gear you really suffer for it). I've done 68k flaming crush to Crom when geo used bolster and I wasn't even using my 1 hours for boosted stats. With crooked pup roll and quickdraw I did 43k FC to it. Though most FC's tend to do like 16k to 28k to him if I have GEO or COR. Flaming crush conduit how I beat most the t1's in there. The buggard is super weak to ice though, and the scorpion is a die hard but I'd still rather use FC than pred claws on it. I haven't messed with the mimic or tonberry much but will figure it out after I get more of the gear I want :P I like to use the attack or magic attack food for flaming crush. The only case I remember using the accuracy food was to use pred claws on the vampire unm.

I've solo'd him with FC once it's just a giant pain in the patootie compared to others because there's a risk period where trusts can die then you have to try to kite that thing which usually won't go well. If I have a geo I can 2x conduit for a quick win, but I'll try out Ramuh thanks :D Also getting tired of burning like 180k silt every time I go for runs so trying to find ways to do it that don't abuse revitalizers. Had a master DNC friend come basically solo Selkit... and can solo it without 1 hours so it's definitely nice to have frienz too \o/ (that mob way more DD friendly, but morbol and crom can really be hard for them) And Crom is very easy without 1 hours if you use EA and have a GEO or COR.

It's getting a reputation, the poison strength and stun length go up the longer the fight goes, if you solo him would love to hear how you do it, tonberry too. I only tried them once but they kinda infamous for being a pain already. Were you using volt strike for stuff with ramuh? Nirvana definitely going to be a big concern for that, as magic dmg staff won't help at all.

Nice, and ya I just meant to make a physical only BP work that well might require nirvana so not sure I can make that work for me till I get it. Thanks for the info.

Just so I undestand well, Avalon, is it with a revitalizer, or without?

It's similar to Eudaemon mechanics where the ring, cape etc favor certain types of stones dropping more than others.

That's very interesting you got BP+9 on Pellucid. My BP augments have come from Fern Stones thus far.

BP+10 is the highest you can achieve from augments so far as I know.

How in hell do you reach this dmg, my volt strike were doing 7-8k, Using espiritus path D, and got solid gear too even 15 BP dmg on my merlonic gloves... I'm standing on 500jp is that what's killing my dmg?
