Trust procers are a pain in the ***. All you really got are voke/flash spammers lol.

Basically no blm that does 2/3/4/aga (if youre 99)

essentially zero red procs

It's just a bad time in general. You gotta go blm and hope you can do the procs. and make a skillchaining team. Or an all weapon warrior to max available chances.

I know that Matsui uses Ei and i already see Ayame using Jinpu.

Maybe there are other trusts that can use Raiden trust or freezebite, shadow of death, etc.

Leaving only those /WAR to player

I mean there are, but relying on them to use it is a real problem.

Matsui can only use Ei at 300% and if you have used no ws he will sc with.
Ayami you can get to do jinpu/koki Nori has them both too
Leonyne/Zeid 1 have Freezebite
Curilla has RLB/Seraph
Halver does Raiden
Najelith has Cyclone
Domina has SOD
Ingrid has Seraph Strike
Kayeel has Sunburst
I don't think any do Earth Crusher or Energy Drain

The thing is they have to be out full time cause you dont know which element beforehand. And it's abyssea, they could just kill it.

Best case you can get 5 trusts to have a 50/50 but they'll have access to ~20(+) ws of which you only want 7 So you got a 50/50 then a ~20% if you find the element and release the rest. then they have to do it at the right time and not just kill the mob.

Whoops. I'm stupid.

It's for strange cosplay. You have Cornelia's Belt, Arciela's Skirt...

I think you mean that for the other belt Plat. Moogle Belt


It's going any any set that I don't need SIRD for casting probably, as I don't focus on haste in other spots as much as I should.

That's all I've got.

Is the bayld +1 set enough to let me start getting hallmarks from v1ve?

Im not sure as I didnt do V1 this month but the few V2 I did, bayld was too weak for V2 VD for instance.

To get at least the base ambu gear ive been ding a couple of V2 N on bayld, and thats equal to a 8 mins fight.

Im really dying to get out of this junk as sson as I can.

Skirmish is your friend though. As its the domain point. Just need 2 days to grab a T2 escha weapon. Im pretty happy with that

Yeah. The trusts you're able to call and the job you do it on matter more.

Would do v2n though cause 3 goblins are difficult to do like that. You do V2N 3-4 times get the NQ Ambuscade set pieces, much easier.

Some months you go easily into v1ve but goblins get a big power boost if you can't split them up.

Anybody knows the Lights levels I should be aiming for to maximize the presence of "Malachite" inside Gold Pixies in Abyssea - Attohwa?

Full pearl and ~<80 Amber

Ungh... Guess I should rather wait for the current Abyssea Lights campaign to be over then, right?

Optimally. But, you can just enter and immediately cleave and maybe get lucky.

Hello,
how do you gain prestige points exactly ?
i grab the KI, go to buburimu kill a MON multiple times.
the MON character loose infamy points when it dies
but i didn't get any prestige ponts
need an alliance ?

Gobbies aren't that bad on VE. Guess it depends a little on your job.

Aim for the Blue aura one first, the black butcher on the left. Then the red one, and then the center one. Trust setup be something like Valaineral, Prishe II, Qultada, Koru-moru, and Apururu(Cherukiki or Kupipi probably work almost as well).

Blue goes down easier than the other two, even when they're grouped, red goes even easier. Center gobbie is RDM with Ancient Magic, and he chainspells inevitably, but as long as you can spam Cure IV or an equivalent heal on your tank, then it's whatever.

After that it's just a matter of time. You can sub SCH to spread AOE stoneskin to help keep Prishe II and Apururu's MP healthy. I found that when I first started doing Ambu this month, the real issue was the ghost goblins that phase in and bomb you. It's split damage, but can spike quite high, so you want AOE cures. Prishe II has Curaga V or whatever. Valaineral has Majesty Cure IV. I haven't lost a VE yet since switching out a standard DD trust for Prishe II.

Is there a reason why you'd rather do v1ve over v2vd, other than the weekly RoE for the seal? If you're good enough to do v1ve, you should be good enough to tackle v2vd, or atleast v2d.

I'm out of touch with how hard things are where I haven't done them in so long. I'd probably do v2vd before doing v1ve for the extra hallmarks.

---

What are the daily things to take care of (as often as you can)? Is it just daily DI and ambu clears?

Thats why I was asking. The HM is higher on v2d/vd over v1ve but the topic was of being able to tackle v1ve

Sup guys

I was omen card farming with a mate, and after meeting many obj and ending the long run, he said he had got 7 card while i ended with only 3.

Maybe he carried over some progress from previous run, but the difference made me wonder if SE introduced something to boost the card obtainment rate.

Is there such a thing? Or maybe just a random reason?

Thanks in advance

He would've been at 4/5 objectives 4/5 entries 9999/10000 omens at the start etc

7 is like a perfect run where every goal was short last run. He probably got 2 the time before.

Your friend didnt clear inventory.

Theres no way to wind up with a 7 to 3 discrepancy.

Any tips or tricks anyone can give me to not rip hate off my trust tank in the Ark Angel Hume HTBF fight?

I've only been able to solo so far on normal, but it's inconsistent. If I rip hate for too long, I eventually get self SC'd by Hume and die.

So VE is the only consistent way I win.

I've tried THF sub and only WS with TA. I've tried DRG sub and using High Jump and turning around for a bit after. I've tried WSing less.

Driving me crazy. I just wanna get his sword for lock style (and actually atm with this character, it's a slight upgrade till I get 100JP).

Put more enmity- in your set. It'll gimp your damage and generate less enmity while doing it.

Nothing you can do to make the ***trust better, you can only make yourself worse. Or tank it yourself.

To elaborate on this, level correction is applied on a zone-by-zone basis. For many endgame fights in older areas, the zone still has level correction, but the content isn't designed to have it. To avoid this, they leave the content coded at level 99 but inflate the stats anyway. As a side effect, hate from damage is calculated as if it were against a level 99 monster, so you get significantly more hate from dealing damage than you should.

There are options, you could go RNG and use decoy shot and an elemental WS for example. Could use SMN and do blood pacts for damage. Elemental/Hybrid WS give hate calculated from their base damage rather than their actual damage, so can be much lower than you would expect. But, as long as you're meleeing, you're probably going to be pulling hate.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Hume should only really start self-SCing below 25% iirc, so you're getting it down that far. Dont forget its gonna Mijin around 5%.
