Do I need Yigit? - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Coinspinner · 01-13-2008, 07:24 PM

I hit 73 in Campaign Battle today. After getting the map and key to Mount Z., I returned to Whitegate and saw a shout for tier 1 Assault. I figured I should look into that as I've yet to try it out. So I looked up the rewards. I'm not really impressed with the Yigit set, apart from maybe the pants.

Is there any real need for me to get that stuff?

The Yigit set is without a doubt the best set for MP healing in the game, for almost any mage job. With the entire set equipped you get +8hMP, but best of all you can keep Auto-Refresh going whilst you sit.

Other than MP healing though, the only pieces of Yigit gear I use to nuke on my BLM are the Turban and the Crackows, and I use those only because I have nothing better at the moment. The hands are pretty nice too but you can't beat the +15 Elemental Skill on AF.

I got the feeling that was all it was for. Sheesh, a whole (non-storable) set just to have 1MP/tick and 5hMP on chest at the same time. Ugly as sin too.

Yigit feet are quite good, the head is currently the best piece for ~ga III spells, but Demon Helm +1 and Wizards Pesatos +1 beat it out on Tier IV and AMII iirc. Body is ok, but somewhat pointless if you have Errant/Wizards Coat +1 - the 1mp/tick refresh isn't that amazing if you have a decent hmp setup.

Wizard Gloves are good if you need skill to land hits accurately, but if/when you are meriting on Blm, the Yigit Hands are better (you should already have enough skill to land nukes).

It's not a *bad* set to be honest, there are some better pieces elsewhere though.

Basicly, the Yigit feet are the single best BLM piece for maxing your nukes, R.Pumps can be usefull to for a fast cast setup if needed.
With the price of weskit the Tigit body isn't all that good and the hands are only good if you don't have Zenith Mitts already(I think they're the best for maxing nukes if you don't have Z.mitts or Morrigan's)

I'm unimpressed with most of the Yigit set for any mage job, to be honest, though I suppose it does benefit BLMs more than any other mage except perhaps Scholar. The feet are nice, but you can find equivalent or better pieces in all other slots for purposes of nuking.

Well, I have River Gaiters already so even the feet don't seem that impressive. The MP is too useful when soloing to give up. Eh, why am I even asking this? With how crowded Mt. Zhayolm is I don't think equipment is often a factor in exp/hour there...

Equipment? What is this "Equipment" you speak of?

At least thats the feeling I get on Midgarsormr. The people manaburning here don't even bother with food. When I first hit 72 and got my first invite there, I was messing around with optimum +hMP and doing a gear swap for every single spell. I would pop a Melon Pie +1 every hour, and always end up with massive amounts of MP more then anybody else. The thing was though, I couldn't DO anything with that MP by myself. So I would have to sit down and wait for everyone else to heal MP.

After about a week, I toned it down. A lot. Only using Ginger Cookies, a basic +hMP gear set, a basic +INT set and elemental stave swaps. And I still ended up with more MP then everyone else 15 minutes into the party. Eventually I dropped the cookies, and now I am only using the basic INT, basic healing, and elemental staffs, and I get along just fine.

I haven't been in that bad a situation myself, and I do quite a bit of gearswap, but I've seen a 70+ BLM in a white cloak... you know, the one that looks like a shaman's cloak but actually just gives 2 MND...

The problem I run into is overcrowding.

Yigit Feet are IMO on par with Goliard Clogs for the best piece to get for your nuking set (unless you happen to have the complete Morrigan's set).

Personally I use Rostrum Pumps F/T since I don't have any of the above, they're nicer than Wood Ledelsens, and I use them in my Stoneskin set.

For nuking normal mobs, the yigit feet are undoubtedely some of the best feet you can get. Not much can top +3 intelligence and +2 MAB. However, the rostrum pumps are also good for certain situations.

I'm a blinking macro-whore, and I use both of these feet actually. The yigit feet for nuking obviously, and the rostrum pumps for enfeebles, buffs, drain and aspir. Both feet have their uses for for nuking, Yigit are my choice.

Looks like I am in the minorty here but I really like the Yigit set, I use it every day.

For my BLM its not so usefull granted, I use feet alot, Body for healing and Hat for MAB.

For other jobs however I use Yigit all the time. I use it alot for WHM RDM and BRD in merit parties and HNM (not RDM) camping for convenience. No one piece is "bad" for any of those jobs and the refresh effect gives a nice bonus too. For those mages out there like me who don't like juggling 40+ pieces of equipment per 75 job every day Yigit rocks.
