For anyone with an Irradiance Blade or similar, does it glow with the force of a thousand suns In Escha Ru'Aun?

ruaun:


notruaun:


not sure what i'm supposed to be seeing tbh, maybe it is a little brighter but the radius of the glow seems the same and the backdrop is darker in misareaux

if it's factoring zone lighting or something and ruaun has it set to ultra max i guess that'd do it? curious what you're theorizing

Been making some glow weapon mods using that effect and was confused today why it's so much brighter there, wondered if it was something on my end. However as you say it seems to be how they built the effect, it takes a value from the lighting level of the zone.

that begs a general question: how/where do I trade my copper vouchers? I've just been stuffing them in mogstorage hoping they'll make sense at some point since the A.M.A.N. rep with "Redeem your vouchers" or whatever dialog choice just tells you about redeeming deed vouchers or whatev and doesn't actually prompt or take anything in trade...

The spark vendors.
Rolandienne in Southern San d'Oria (G-10)
Isakoth in Bastok Markets (E-11)
Fhelm Jobeizat in Windurst Woods (J-10)
Eternal Flame in Western Adoulin (H-11)

I recall something similar with afterglow, I used to be around the assault office and for some reason it glows a lot harder there.

Near home points (or maybe jeuno specifically) they glow brighter.

What are easy i119 weapons to come by for the purposes of just having lots of jobs at i119 for entry level shenanigans?

I know the Peacekeeper's Coalition have a bunch, but some of them aren't useable by jobs that need them etc.

And where to get i119 shurikens?

The t1 ambuscade weapons ain't great but quite easy. You can do 1 DI without even participating and pick up a 119 weapon.

DI also has 119 Date Shurikens

Given how the new Prismatic Chest furnishing has an aura strength of 1, how the hell do you manage to get the Moghancement?
Get multiple of those chests I guess?

Empty your MH, furniture is wasted space.

Fill your floor 2 with your garbage, and Floor has only 1 item. You'll get the aura from only floor 1.

oooooh now that's smart, didn't think about the floor1-floor2 thing. NEAT!

I alrdy tried this. I removed all Furniture until the Message of even having any Mog Enhancement ceased to show up after placing Furniture.

Then I added that Login Campaign Chest —> Nothing
Unless we need to make sure the Element itself is Highest Value of all?

Honestly I wouldn’t even know. It’s been like 10 years since I even cared about such Mog Enhancements

You have to take out everything.

Not till there's no other moghancement. Everything. 99% of furniture has an aura. All of them will overpower the chest. If the most powerful aura has no moghancement, you get nothing.

You can just move most of your furniture to the 2nd floor (doesn't contribute to aura/moghancement) and only put the furniture that you want the moghancement of on the 1st floor.

Edit: I see this answer was already given

Must be the magnetism. I'll call NASA

Everyone knows magnetism doesn't work in the mog house. Science can't explain it.

Clearly Vana'Diel is not subject to Newtonian Physics, and thus must reside outside of the known universe.

Speaking of silly furnishing things, I just noticed I have all 5 Ark Angel statues on my mule but I don't on my main.
And I notice they are storable on slip 11...
Uuuh, I see that currently you can obtain these statues through a Mog kupon Marble but I'm pretty confident when they were first introduced there was another way to obtain them.

Anybody remembers how?
Was it a special event? Login Points?
I really wonder why I bothered to get them on my mule but not on my main. I mean I thought I just used the "send to same account" function but then I noticed you can't actually send those :x

pretty sure when the mog bonanza was more numbers/more tickets, you could get that reward slip for a 4th place (1 number right) ticket. This was before they switched to marbles and you could get 10 on a character, so its likely you got some junk bonanza rewards and felt creative^^

If you had to choose only 1 between these, which do you think would aid the job the most?

Kannagi
Rhongomiant
Gandiva

Also what are the most popular/must have Empyreans these days?

Mostly just the vere and twash (of course the harp)

Masamune, caladbolg as well.

From those three, Gandiva i guess? Though realistically you'd probably use Armageddon more.

Was about to say!
Concerning the three empys in the list here's my take:


Kannagi
It's a weak Katana for NIN, comes behind most other options in most situations.
Main reason for this is that Blade: Hi is atm a bad WS with bad scaling and a bad mod (AGI).
The main pro of Kannagi R15 is the white damage, and as such is shines only in content where that's relevant.
Only example that comes to mind is the Qutrub Ambuscade.
I personally have one but I basically never use it.

Rhongomiant
I'm not a big expert of DRG but I think this is a bad option surpassed by many other. Even the Ambu one is better than this when it comes to damage.

Gandiva
This is an interesting option.
It's probably the weapon with the highest DPS potential, despite the odd mod (DEX).
Main problem with Gandiva is actually getting hate too early. When that's not a problem Gandiva shines.


tl;dr
between the three weapons listed I'd say Gandiva is the one with the highest utility potential for its respective job.

R0 the order is Trishula > Rhongomiant > Ryunohige > Gungnir.

R15 is where things start to get more buff dependent Trishula should be number 1 still especially with fighters roll. Ryunohige being number 2 or number 3 without capped attack and slightly above Trish with capped and making use of PDL on Gleti's and +2 neck which is harder to do on DRG than other 2 handers. Rhongomiant then switches between 2 and 3 again depending on buffs which if you have low buffs Rhongo should be above Ryunohige but with buffs Ryu is number 2.

While Shining one is really good Rhongo should beat it.
