Note that Atrophy Chapeau +3 is better for pure MACC than even Carmine +1 if you have another piece on for the set bonus (probably body or Regal Earring).
Also, on the off-chance that you have Regal Cuffs, the enfeebling duration is most useful on non-variable potency spells, and on enfeebles you used a long-recast JA on (Saboteur or Elemental Seal).

Ah that makes sense for Dia thank you. Yea I only have the +1 but even the +1 has more combined magic acc than the Vivitation. So does that make it better? Or Does Enfeebling magic skill have some hidden thing that makes it better?
Accuracy-based only (bind, break,dispel,gravity,silence,sleep): these spells are hit/miss with no variable potency and you want the highest macc possible so Ayanmo head +2 will win (carmine+1 head is even better)
Accuracy and stat-based(Distract1/2, Frazzle 1/2): enfeebling magic for these spells caps very quickly (350 for the II version) so you want as much magic accuracy as possible while adding MND to increase the spell potency (and ideally the enfeebling potency items such as regal gem,empy body and JSE cape)
Skill and stat based (Distract3, Frazzle3): these spells potency is affected by enfeebling magic skill and MND so relic hat will win for raw potency compared to any huge macc item. Once again enfeebling potency is your friend.
Enfeebling magic potency only(Dia1/2/3): these spells can't be resisted so magic accuracy won't do anything but enfeebling potency gear(regal gem,empy body and JSE cape) will improve their DoT
Hope this helps
Do slow/paralyze/blind fall under #2 or #3 on this list?
Slow/Para/Blind all have variable potency (but can be resisted), so they'd fall under the second category.

sequence + moonshade is probably a 'must' if your wanting the best avg possible for spamming. Outside of that just getting lucky with DM augs is yoru best option! gl!
Jhakri +2 is better for head and hands when not attack capped (which is almost always when using RDM on non-trivial stuff).

Can anyone post there savage blade / CDC sets please would be gear to see what others are using ty
There has been a discussion between Me, Geriond and Boshi just a couple of pages ago testing different sets and showing their different pros and cons in different scenarios.
I suggest you go read those posts.

Am I correct that Relic +3 feet will be BiS Mag Acc, Enf potency, and Enf MND?
Think so yeah, very hot, and we haven't seen the set bonus yet! Supposing there will be one but I think so.
Also BiS for Paralyze II too! But arguably that was already true in the 119 +1 version.

I wonder if it'd ever be possible to have some sort of... Bookmark? System on the forum. Situations like this where very good information is compiled but lost in the pages happens so frequently it's honestly a little ridiculous. This particular thread is only 18 pages long but similar cases happen on forum topics that are hundreds of pages long.
Guess it wouldn't be possible to construct a concept like that without creating more workloads for the Mods/Topic Creator :(
sorry for the derail, I just couldnt help but notice that this happens a lot

That's sorta what happens when using an outdated technology (forums). :\ Especially when only using one single thread... I was just thinking earlier that perhaps we should start a RDM Discord server. We could keep a BIS sheet pinned in there (just need to make sure we have folks who are willing to keep it up to date) along with guides and such too.
I think I've become a Discord fanboy and I guess I'm just getting sick of forums. ; ; I've been in Discord servers for different classes on other MMOs and it was very helpful and enjoyable.

Are RDM relic boots multiplicative or additive to enfeebling potency (or is it duration? I know some things say duration some do not)?
I.E. If your Slow IIs are 30% and you wear +3 boots will you now have 33% slow or 40%?

There are two people listed as having +2, and 0 with +3. Only people with near infinite reserves can justify spending 80M for JSE gear right. Personally I'm trying to sell medals when I can and I'll wait for more footshards and voidfoot items.

It's the same wording as all the previous enfeebling magic effect pieces, so it's almost certainly going to be multiplicative.

All the other +potency gear has been multiplicative so no reason to doubt this being the same.

Where is the best place to farm the shards for rdm?

You need to kill as many enemies as you can pre- Midboss with as much TH as you can to do this. The drops are random from enemies, even the RDM NM, which may drop say a warrior shard on occassion.

The pirates drop rdm right or is it randomized? I've only seen medics drop SMN and PLD from from the knights so I assume it's job specific.
I'm also not sure where the RDM leader NM is. Only found the ones by the AH and choco stables.
Each mob type has two jobs attached to it. Enchanter is RUN/RDM.
Does anyone have a nice red mage lua? Mine is kind of cobbled together and I need an upgrade.
Can confirm the +20 Gain effect from relic hands is infact +20 and not % based if people were unsure.

Holy ***.
thank you for posting this. RDM is winnin dynamis so far as far as im concerned.
Ikr inb4 relic body gives haste effect +5-10 in future

FYI, took me some time to figure out why the relic +3 hands weren't equipping for gain spells and the short version is that caps matter in the lua. Can add the text below for each gain spell and make sure the stat is in all caps or it won't recognize the spell and will disregard and equip your enhancing magic set hands.
sets.midcast['Gain-DEX'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'], {hands={ name="Viti. Gloves +3", augments={'Enhances "Phalanx II" effect',}},})
sets.midcast['Gain-DEX'] = set_combine(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'], {hands={ name="Viti. Gloves +3", augments={'Enhances "Phalanx II" effect',}},})

Have you made a Red Mage Discord yet? I would like to join if you have.
