Quest "Scattered Sheels, Scattered Mind" & "His Bridge, his beloved":

Quest "Scattered Sheels, Scattered Mind": *Requirements Abyssea Vunkerl... Inlet Fame 3+ *Starter NPC.................... Aldoverre *Drops: (Garenteed) Augmented Darkness Ring (occasionally) Pup, Rng, Rdm, Drk Feet Seals *Quest is repeatable upon Zone out/in ...................Basically to do this Quest you need to find 3 moveing ??? Spots for 3 different Key Items. The 3 ??? Can be found in the following locations and there will never be 2 up within the same Monster Area. 1) Helter-skelter (Sight/Magic Aggro Bomb Mobs) by Conflux #08. 5 Spots it can appear here. There is also 1 ??? Spot right next to Martello VK-08 @ E-8. Not sure if it shares same Pop. There's also 1 ??? Spot in the Mushrum Mob Area (Non Agressive) that does not share the same Pop. 2) Aestutaur (True Sight, small range sight Taur Mobs) by Conflux #04. 5 Spots it can appear here. 3) Peapuk (Sound/Sight Aggro Puk Mobs) by Conflux #06. 6 Spots here (1 of those is near the Devegetators Crawlers and 1 in the Rabbit Mob Area...... both of which are not in to far) Note: There is supposed to be 1 more ??? Spot outside the Conflux #00 Area. However I never seen it up nor had to use it. ..................and here's How I did this Quest: 1) Go to Conflux #8 scan the Bomb Mob Area for a ??? Spot as you run thru. 2) Flag Quest at NPC Aldoverre. 3) Head back to the Bomb Mobs and grab the ??? seen earlier then take Conflux #8 to Conflux #4. If the ??? was not there it was probably by Martello#8. In that case just walk Conflux #4 which passes Martello #8 and snag the ??? on the way. 4) Grab the ??? in the Taur Mob Area. Then take Conflux# 4 to Conflux #6. 5) Grab the ??? in the Puk Mob Area. Then take Conflux# 6 to Conflux #8. 6) Go to NPC Aldoverre, collect the Augmented Dark Earring and pray for the Seal that you needed. Then take Conflux #8 to the Maw and Zone out. Rinse and repeat. Quest "His Bridge, his beloved": ...........................While you are there you can also Flag/do the Quest that involves the Bridges, "His Bridge, his beloved". If you decide to repeat this Quest and do it at the same time as the "Scattered Sheels, Scattered Mind" Quest, you will need to farm Viscous Spittle from the Spiders here ahead of time. Please note that You can not Trade, Bazaar, or Buy the Viscous Spittle from the AH. Each run can take up to 5 Viscous Spittles. *Requirements Abyssea Vunkerl... Inlet Fame 2 *Starter NPC.................... Cheupirudaux *Drops: (1st time) Crimson Abyssite of Lenity (occasionally) Blu, Pld, Brd, Mnk Feet Seals *Quest is repeatable upon Zone out/in

Ooops again (Part-3) ;)

.................I really wish someone would make a guide for this kind of stuff. Alot of people only know bits and peices of it. Anyway Once again I was wrong. PHalanx. only takes off a amount of Damage per Damage round with the formula for the amount time the Spell is up... (Enhancing Skill/10) -2 ...................My dreams of combining a -PDT and a -MDT Capped set have gone and withered away. I now know I would need an Aegis and Mystic Sword Weapon for that. I will now keep a combined overall set and seperate -PDT and -MDT sets in my Macro Builds. Thank you to all the poeple who answered my weird ass questions and people who posted comments. It has helped me immensly. ;)

Ooops... I R Captain Caveman

...........Ooops on my last Post I used the wrong Spell. It should have been Phalanx and not Protect5. This is actually a good thing because Phalanx was just recently added to a PLD's castables. Anyway here's the skinny............Basically the acceptable formula for Phalanx is... (Enhancing skill /10) -2 ...and from what I have read the Hard Cap for Phalanx is -28% PDT, but this probably needs to be retested as RDM user's Skill has increased with Levels past 75. ...........Now that we are all level 85. A PLD can Cap the Enhancing Skill @ 260. In December when we are all Level 90 our Cap will be 285. This means if we Macro in a pair of Gallant Breeches for an additional +5 Skill we can reach 290. That also means that this December we can reach -27% PDT. (290/10)-2 = 27 (-27% PDT) This leads me back to trying to reach (in Gear) to Cap... -23% MDT -23% PDT +MDB (as much as I can get) .........now I wonder......hmmmmmmm ....what about Breath Damage.... to be continued?

Reckoning+1 True 5-hit and Shamshir+1 Damage Mitigation Build for PLD.... so easy even a caveman can do it.

Level 85 Jobs: ..................... The update was 2 weeks ago and already I have Pld, Drk,War, and Sam @ 85. Saturday I will finish up my last Job which is Drg . Then I can move on to finishing the rest of all my Trial of Magian Weapons. I still have the new Trials for GreatAxe, PoleArm, GreatKatana, and GreatSword to finish. Which still leaves Axe and a 3rd Scythe in the early stages..... Magian Weapons: Reckoning+1 : ............To get a true 5-Hit with a 528 Delay Scythe on Drk/Sam @ Lv.75 or higher, you need Store-TP +24 from Gear/Food. What makes this Scythe awesome for this type of Build is it already gives you +10 Store-TP. You can get more Store-TP by equiping a Chiv.Chain(+1), a Brutal Earring(+1), a Rajas Ring(+5), and a Rose Strap(+4) but that still leaves you short Store-TP +3. While there are plenty of ways to get that last +3, what you really want is a Goading Belt to seal the deal (Emnity+3, Haste+5, Store-TP+5). This way there are absolutly no Gear sacrafices and you can eat what ever food you want like STR / ATK Food! Shamshir+1: ............I also finished this little baby for my PLD. Currently my Defense-Set Build consists of: -22% PDT (Physical Damage Taken) -19% MDT (Magical Damage Taken) +19% MDB (Magical Damage Bonus) +20 Emnity ......................The goal here is to combine a Magical and Physical Damage Gear Build Sets into 1. I beleive this is now possible. From what I have read, MDT and PDT caps @ 50% and you can get 27% of both from a Merited Mage's, Protect5 and Shell5. This means the goal for this Build is to reach -23%PDT, -23%MDT, and stack all the MDB you can get Gear wise. I have also read that MDB does not have a Cap. ......................If anyone can correct me or has any more information on this please post a comment or a Link. Thanky. ~That's all folks. See ya all online! ~BAM

12 Hour Stone Recharge Time ~BAM

.........Yesterday began with just pure "Suck". At first I was asked to fill in for a person at work that was on vacation. Thus I had to unsign from our Abyssea Run. Of coarse my extended work day was cancelled, which translates to.... 1) No work 2) No Spot in Event 3) Not enough Stone Time anyway because I used it the day before when I had to Unsign from the run. Then on top of that... a bad storm rolled in that made me DC every 3 minutes for 3+ hours. .......At that point I was like "Fuk it" and watched some T.V. .... ...............but just then.......like the weather changing in the middle of a a Magian Weapon Trial........... my luck changed too. ....and a Crimson Abyssite of Celerity: A variety of ancient abyssite that harbors arcane powers. Renders the bearer's traverser stone more rapidly replenished. HI2U... 12 Hour Stone Recharge Time ;) ~BAM

.................Some one already has a AF3+2 Gear!

AF3 vs. Salvage Gear

................People really need to stop being cry babies/ complainers. On the one hand you have some people feeling butthurt because they put alot time/effort into Salvage and they are now crying that their Gear is now worthless. On the other hand you have people who were always sad/envious that they never had gotten any Salvage Gear so they are trying to rub it in and/ or push peoples shit in. All I got to say is..... What the Fuck is wrong with you people! Lets get the facts straight, shall we? 1) Salvage Was and is an awesome Event.... but after 2+ years you kind of get burnt out on it, just like everything else. 2) Salvage Gear Is still awesome and will remain so... untill we get all the AF3+2 pieces bitches. ~BAM 3) Let's not forget Theres also a good possibility that we will also be able to Magian Trial the Salvage Gear in the next update or so. If not, no biggie it was awesome run. No sense in killing a great game because of stagnancy. This is FFXI. You don't like it then GTFO mah Game! LOL

I'm Ready!
