It's much faster to actually use blood pacts on mobs, but you have to be at the computer, actually playing.

If the target is high lvl or way above your lvl, you'll get much faster skill ups than just self-targeted. But yeah you can't afk that route.

lol

for some more concrete numbers, spamming spirits w/ skillup food takes about 85 hours to cap from 0, spamming BPs w/ skillup food took me from 0 to just over 400 in 22h and i finished with books, both cases measured afk

Hi.

Im reading some stuffs to start the znms climbs. About zeni, whats the optimal way to farm it? I got that stuff of photograph mobs and 10 exchanges per vanadiel day, but bg states that taking a picture of nauls in aby net 1500 zenis regardless the favored mob.

Does that mean that i can sit in aby with a weakened naul, take hundred of pics of him and just keep trading it to the zeni npc every vanadiel day?

Thanks in advance.

Basically yea, this is the best way to farm loads of Zeni, and the way I`ve always done it.

take a mage job, beat a naul down to 1% sleep it and alternate cameras until you're full, then just sit there and trade. also, make sure you're face to face with it.

For some reason I can't finish Coming Full Circle (final mythic quest). When I checked the palace gate I only got the cutscenes for repeating Alexander and Odin. I had hoped to finish the quest before starting on trials to 119 my weapon.

Did you try checking the door with your weapon unequipped? I had the same problem until I realised you won't get the CS until you take off your weapon.

(the trials don't effect it anymore, that bug's fixed. I actually finished my quest with a level 80 yag, with trial flagged)

Hi.

When you are gearing for acc, how do you math with acc <-> multi attack gear? Example: anchoret mantle is 20 acc while letalis is 15 acc but has 3% double attack, so aparently 3 da makes for the 5 acc given up. Another example: having 3 rings for an acc set: rajas (5 dex), eponas (3 da 3 ta) and mars ring (8 acc). Is just spreadsheeting to find the best combo or is there a rule to compare multi hits with acc pieces in order to build a proper acc set?

Thanks in advance.

make an additional set, change the rules, or just add a statement to the rules to equip the instrument on midcast for those 2 songs.

Thanks in advance.

You try to maximize the average number of hits you land per round. When I opened the monk spreadsheet it had a set with 15% DA, 9% TA, and 1% QA plugged in, so I'll use those numbers as an example.
At capped accuracy, this set lands 1.34335*.95=1.2761825 attacks per round (you can use this spreadsheet to calculate average hits per round:thread) Anchorite mantle has 5 more accuracy than letalis mantle, which can add 2.5% hit rate. Suppose you're in a situation where that would bring you to the cap (you're at 92.5% accuracy): this set lands 1.316308*.95=1.2504926 attacks per round whereas keeping the letalis mantle equipped would have landed 1.34225*.925=1.24259875 attacks per round.
You can do the same for Epona's vs. an 8 accuracy ring. With epona's: 1.34335*.91=1.2224485 vs. 1.260472*.95=1.1974484 without epona's. Is there ever a point where your accuracy is low enough to make the accuracy ring the better choice?
1.34335*acc=1.2640472*(acc+.04)
Solve for accuracy: acc=.04/(1.34335/1.2224485 -1) =60.835%. If something checks high evasion, switch the rings.

So, we are close to the end of current login campaign and no new login were announced yet. I dont remember well, but i think in previous campaign, at this close to the end, we had already the news about next login campaign. Any info if we will have more or when this will end? Honestly, i will really miss all those free items.

EDIT: oh, nvm...

EDIT2: Crests price reduction, nice. Sucks i used all mu logins for 150, when i could get 450 if i had waited, or even worse, could 225 if i had buy beastman seals and exchanged for skc.

EDIT3: LOL at savory for 3k points. No way the drop rate of this is 1/3 so good bye beastly shanks, you served me well. Expect that savory prices gonna drop, defending rings for everyone now.

I have MNK on my main and my alt, is there a way to have my spellcast load a different xml for each? Or must it be done by hand each time.

There's 2 ways:

1 - add folders into your spellcast script folder for each character you have:
<spellcast script folder location>/Character1/MNK.xml
<spellcast script folder location>/Character2/MNK.xml

2 - add your character names on the xml filename:
<spellcast script folder location>/Character1_MNK.xml
<spellcast script folder location>/Character2_MNK.xml

You need to be Lv90 to use an empyrean weapon skill that has been unlocked via WoE,or lv85 if you have the respective empyrean weapon equipped.
