I'm confused about this bullet point about upgrading Afterglow Mythics via Job Points and S. Astral Detritus. I have an Afterglow Tizona and about to start Death Penalty.
Quote: As long as you meet the requirements for a weapon type, multiple weapons from the same category, as well as multiple weapon types, can be upgraded at the same time!
After I deposit 10,000 Job Points to Oboro for Tizona, and obtain "Balrahn armament" KI, do I have to deposit another 10,000 JP for Death Penalty?
When I Afterglow the Death Penalty (via 10,000 Beitetsu), and start trading Oboro S. Astral Detritus to augment, does it augment both Tizona and Death Penalty?
Should I complete and Afterglow Death Penalty before depositing JPs/S. Astral Detritus for Tizona?

I love when Aita says that it's Flaming Kick Day. :)
(He was also using Fulminous Smash, but that's just perfect too!) |

I think it is funny the person who mixed Coke with vodka, and called it Cuba Libre. When I was young and so was dirt a Cuba Libre was rum and coke with a wedge of lime. The rum had to be Cuban.
Someone has been giving you a cheap forgery. |

Don't bother, we've collectively been telling Dane for a century that his "HQ" sets that contain unattainable gear are all but useless for any players, as they can't be used as a reference in any way since someone who is looking at a guide will have no idea what the 2nd best option is, and the experienced players just look at it and go "no ***sherlock". Other guides at least have the courtesy of putting them in a "dream set" category, but he stubborn.

why they're missing the mark so badly
Executive/beancounter led decisions rather than artistic/creative vision. |

The fact that expedition 33 was not created by square enix should make them feel ashamed. The fact that it was made by a studio of less than 40 people should make them really question wtf they are doing and why they're missing the mark so badly.
They refuse to make a new Nier property as well allegedly because they don't want to pay Yoko Taro. They let Stellar Blade by Shift One take it. It's basically the relaunch of Nier and Yoko Taro was hugging up on Kim Hyeong-Tae in interviews together.
As big a F-K you to SE as I think he could professionally get away with. |

Trying to get max base Accuracy (no buffs)
Empyrean +3/AF+4, R15 Gazu Braceletes +1, Null Accessories should get you to high a high-level of accuracy |

i primarily DPS most of the time and would prefer to do this job for most events.
Friendly advice and you play how you want to play, but for the most part, everyone wants to play dps jobs, which is why a lot sit around and dont do content. Being open to tanking, healing, and/or buffing will take you a lot further than dd only. Good luck and wb! |

Bahamut.Creaucent said: »That's nice and all but your idle set assumes people went with niche or one off items like Diamond Aspis and Meva TVR ring so of course it's going to be better. Let's also include stage 5 Prime yo that "HQ idle" set.
The shield they are using is one of the better elemental resistance shields outside Diamond Aspis's huge Meva.
PS your top idle set should have Daybreak instead of full timing the Prime club. You can just macro or toggle in the Prime club if you get slept this then gives you back 1hp/mp a tick.
Edit: nvm is the stage 5 Prime and not the wake up stick.... I'm sorry for your loss.
I only assumed max means max.
Whatever your preference is does not change what max is.
Max does mean max however that set is labelled "Idle HQ" which is generally a set with high gear that is more obtainable. Most players would be making one of the more useful Primes first and probably picked a better Bonanza piece and yes I do have the shield. |

Context (mild rant but informative) - Those are not specifically the "Best in Slot Bard TP Sets". They're computer-generated sets that factor a set of pre-defined buffs vs a very specific target enemy, prioritizing speed-to-tp, and factoring in nothing else besides the 25%/50% -DT conditions. The results provided by the sim are simply numbers and it spits out what it "considers" to be -the- best possible set that achieves the fastest TP vs the target. They sometimes throw in some interesting/questionable gear choices, but that's because the program is trying to maintain optimal accuracy, -dt, and speed. It's no more of the "best" than asking a GPS to find the fastest route from Massachusetts to Texas ignoring every possible factor, and it draws a straight line and tells you to take a plane.
With that being said, the sets are a very good guide and baseline for what kind of sets BRD can make. You should look at sets like that and compare it to what you have, and then adjust accordingly. If you need more defense, magic evasion, dual wield, etc, if you are subbing dnc or war, do you have QA augment Chironic gear? High Ranked Nyame? Volte pieces? Ashera Harness? There are dozens of ways to gear a bard accordingly. "BIS TP Set" is a misnomer; it's all circumstantial and depends on situations. You have to build a set appropriate for the/most situation(s), there is not one set that rules them all.
You can also use the Item Sets page to search for sets to get ideas from
Here's the general set I run, for comparison:
ItemSet 400573
Chironic - QA+2% (3% is possible), Accuracy. I also had a STP+9 Chironic Hose that was better* than Volte Tights.
I normally /DNC, so Haste Samba and 9% DW puts me exactly where I need to be with capped magical haste. Frees up the belt slot to use Sailfi+1, which I consider a way better belt vs a DW belt, since earrings are generally weaker comparably. Also allows me to use Null Shawl, which I consider better than JSE cape for pretty much everything.
When I need tankiness: Swap legs/feet for Nyame
When I need accuracy: In addition to the above, swap belt for Kentarch +1 > Olseni > Null Belts (in that order). Swap JSE neck for Null Loop (this might be questionable). Swap Moonlight to Chirich +1. If I still have accuracy issues, either sing a Madrigal, eat sushi, or drop TP Bonus offhand for Gleti's or Crepuscular Knife.
Some people prefer Volte Tights over Nyame Flanchard, but I haven't been lucky enough to get those yet.
TLDR - Several ways to build a set for BRD TP, but I don't think the term "BIS" refers to one set. It all kinda depends.
Good info. Trying to get max base Accuracy (no buffs) |

You're probably better off either running ahead and killing a different camp solo, or just using Dagger and dealing with the resistance. Karambit H2H is horrible on DNC, and you get no native Martial Arts traits unless you sub MNK. You'd probably sub WAR or DRG, depending on your support (Berserk and DA is nice, though with Saber Dance, DA is less impactful)
Crazy idea that I'm sure nobody's thought of: If you want to be cute, DNC/WAR can learn Judgment if you equip enough skill to hit 200 Club skill. I'm ML34 DNC, and with a single Combatant's Torque and Mafic Cudgel, I'm @202 Club skill with Judgment unlocked. You'd have to drop the TP Bonus offhand, and make some gear sacrifices to hit decent accuracy, but DNC can probably do it, especially if you have high ranked Nyame or +3/4 gear. This probably wouldn't work on anything higher than C2, but might be fine on C1, and probably find on C2 with SV songs?
Here's a set I cobbled together that allows you to hit 1158 MH accuracy in WS set, before songs or food. Can add 58 (116) and ~108 accuracy from Sublime Sushi +1. Assuming HQ sushi and SV HM, can put you close to ~1380 MH accuracy.
ItemSet 400572
Terrible idea? Idk, but worth testing out :D
Probably won't hit hard on anything evasive or tanky, but can use it on Skeletons.
Climactic + Judgment, I should go try this out on some Apex mobs >.>
Trust buffs:
ML34
Sylvie - FuryPrecision/Frailty
Excenmille S - Attack Bonus
/WAR - Berserk
Saber Dance
Lvl 10 Box Step
Qultada - Chaos Roll, Fighter's Roll
Koru - Dia 3
w/ Climactic
Non Climactic
3k TP non-climactic with probably some MA procs
Not nearly as terrible as I thought it would be, might be interesting in Segments vs Skeletons.
Was able to still hit 1300+ accuracy with TP Bonus offhand and sublime sushi. Building Flourish + Judgment wasn't terrible either. I might try it in segments some day.
By the way, you need to have 200+ Club skill in your pre+midcast ws set. If you have it only in your precast and try to swap below 200 after using it, the WS will cancel with an error message. You also can't swap to 200+ in a midcast set, because you need 200+ to even activate the WS. Kinda funny learning experience.
Hmm... This is more fun than I thought xD

I'm just tinkering around w/ magic damage for holy. and banish. I haven't found clear information on how important divine magic skill is for these.
This is the set I've come up with:

There is a reason why people aren't spreading to the empty servers where there are very few if no RMT. Why would a group of people willingly leave their small quiet server to go to a high pop server where there are queues to enter events? |

guardians was pretty widely praised and the tomb raider games were fine
the issue with avengers had more to do with the type of game they made and the art style they used
but beyond that- i'm not really sure why you're saying that they need to do that *now*, given that they've already done just that; they've already sold off all their western studios
did you just wake up from a coma or something?

I'm aware that Asura was recently locked down for new accounts and was wondering if there's been any talk at this time about SE giving incentives to transfer off to other servers like they do in FFXIV when one gets too congested, usually like free transfers and all that.
I'm also interested in learning if I should stay put on Asura for a bit of time before transferring to another server in order to use their AH to level up subcrafts to cap, or has QoL with RoV and Adoulin NPCs basically made that moot now? I have Alchemy around 78 and seen it's been needed on the server I wish to transfer to due to AH shouts over the past few months, or would it be best to take another craft to 110ish without shield these days for someone that plans to still be mostly "casual" for the most part?
In typical SE fashion, they've merely said something to the effect of: "We want you to know we've taken steps to think about it...but aren't going to reveal anything right now: source |

Nothing yet, they need to, they probably won't though.
Shield and casual are incompatible.

Honestly, ever since Square Enix's failure of $200M Avengers game, the company has been struggling financially.
I think to myself that, they are circling the drain and someone like Sony is eye'ing up to buy them in a heartbeat.
But ...but, it would be TRAGIC if Microsoft or Amazon (Activision?) bought them instead...

if enough NA people went to the extreme to cancel subs over this, would SE even get the memo? how do you hit them where it hurts AND clearly show why you did it? a forum post on the OF would probably get shut down immediately.
not suggesting anyone do this, just a thought exercise how would you get their attention. Nynja made the point that this absolutely would not fly on Odin, and I agree, how do non-JP ever stand a chance?
If enough people cancelled subs for long enough they would just shut down the servers as it just wouldn't be feasible to keep them running with such a same player base. What you are suggesting here would hurt the game way to much. |

Thank you that was the one i ws looking for
it just shows that even when you are this confident
Quetzalcoatl.Jakey said: »Ya i don't think I can support an idle set that lacks darkness resistance especially for someone who destroyed their wake up stick. You can still be 100% wrong on your argument about lacking dark resting for sleep.
"-At 0 resistance, it is still possible to fully resist a negative status effect given enough magic evasion, unlike with elemental magic damage." |
