[Maxim]

Kirashi, this is a personal question, and you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but, how do you manage to stay in Berkeley while playing FFXI that much? o.o;;

[Tokitoki]

Thats definitely the coolest JSE ive seen so far ^^

[mirri]

ahh!!! ive seen that on a hume in san ah i wulda taken a pic if i knew what it was :cool:

[Secrenja]

What I really hate about this place is that on the search, each word has to be a minimum of 4 characters.
That eliminates "job" and "JSE"
Needless to say I'm heading over to RDM to ask about JSE :D

[Zenyx]

Does that picture of the Taru Blm, have a shield equipped??? Are there shields that blm's can use?

[Kirara]

yes that's me

i bought it

as long as my gpa is all good it's all good

yes blm can wear shield (astral shield being the best choice now... well actually i perfer astral aspil)

/hint at the rest high level importer to come and fight some pelican XD

[Zenyx]

Ya, I just noticed the faerie shield and the astral in the AH, darn those are expensive though. :sweat:

[Atrapos]

hey, nub here...

what armor is that and why is it special? Looks sweet though.

[tomfin10]

Heres a close-up screenshot of a Tarutaru in BLM JSE that I took recently (no I don't have the BLM JSE I just took the screenshot)...

[Atrapos]

BAH! But what's so special about that armor?!

[Kousai]

wow.. you were bored

[Highmage]

forest rope for waist

[Coinspinner]

Gah... me want :(

Also, isn't there a Darkness staff that gives +10 MP while resiting?

[Cloud Tiamat]

Can someone tell me how this BLM JSE armor compares to the BLM AF armor?

[Kousai]

looks cooler?

[Cloud Tiamat]

I mean statwise. :)

[Alagor]

wait if JSE and AF are diffrent things...


JSE=Job specific Equip right?
u get that around what lvl?

AF= Artifact armor right?
just rares from NMs HNMs BCNMs(whats this stand for anyway)

right??????

[Cloud Tiamat]

As I understood, AF is a type of JSE armor.

[Frightener]

Forest Rope is an RSE belt for Elvaan only. The stats for this BCNM30 drop are as follows: DEF 3, MP +60, DEX -4, INT +4, LVL 70.

[Aurege]

Kirashi, do you have any other parts of the JSE or is there only a cloak?

[Jroggy]

i think JSE is player crafted and is higher level equipment then AF.
AF you have to quest for.
I THINK :sweat:

[Cloud Tiamat]

What are the stats of all the BLM AF pieces and the stats of the BLM JSE pieces? (comparison)

[SlottyM]

robe is only blackmage JSE, at lvl 72m thers another set of caster armor(errant armor) and at 73, demon helm.

[Cloud Tiamat]

I took a look at the stats of both BLM AF & Relic coats as well as the cursed Dalmatica and Errant/Mahatma Hoppaulates (or however you spell it) on Mysterytour and by far the Demon Cloak JSE is (IMO at least) the best BLM armor.

[nfinity.fX]

dalmatica + zenith crown nicer (>_<)

+sorceror's gloves >.< >.< >.< oooooooohhh
anybody want to dynamis wif me (>_<)

[Tetsura]

Wish i could see Kirara's JSE picture :(

[Kirara]

cursed item
af2
those are all almost unrealistic items to wish for
for a pretty successive dynamis run with 60+ people, even by beating that dynamis, there will be probably 1-2 piece of af2 drop, it will be likely not for your job, even if it is you have to compete with rolls...

also dynamis is where commnication is VERY important, this tme not between a party, an alliance. and entire 60+ people raid. there needs to be a main leader, then group leader, party leader hierchy system. with language barrier NA has with JP. it's pretty impossible (and more and more japanese realize not to take NA high level to dynamis because of this reason) for NA high level to accomplish dynamis now. need to wait for more english speaker to get high level for this to be even attemped by english speakers.
break communication in dynamis, 1 tiny mistake = 60 deaths

[LoneWolfy]

this is zoey
i think
staffs those cp rank staff shouldnt be counted as best bc they suck.
dark staff is also forgotten which really i think all mages should get mp healing is plus 10.
i think ice staff is crap even hq
black mage shouldnt really wear the 72 feet blm dont need mnd af is better for the rate down.

[AtraposBLM]

how in god's name could you say that the Ice Staff is crap? Did you miss the +10 elemental skill on it? Jesus christ man, that's making you cast like you were 2 levels higher already. Ice staff is like the best thing I've seen for a black mage to weild during battle. Dark Staff every mage should get and switch to before resting up. 4 million is a lot of gil though >_<;;

[Stokes]

I'm in the process of saving up for the blm JSE cloak. 150k to go...and 6 lvls :x

[AtraposBLM]

I'm 5.2 million gil away from the gear I'll need by lv68. Elemental Torque = 400k, Ice/Dark Staffs = 2 million each, and Black Cloak = 800k-1 million

[Sadeira]

i'm in the process of saving up for a black cotehardie...

it'll pay for my black cloak when i resell :P

[Taga]

I have all my gear except black cloak and dark staff, but luckily it goes for 140k (cloak) on fenrir ^^ (dark staff is 1 million ._. )

got my ice staff and elemental torque already though :)

hmmm, why is cursed item unrealistic? I already got my A. Abjuration off Aspidecholone (or however you spell it.. the king of adamantoise) so all I have to do is buy or synth the Cursed Dalmatica...

thats what everyone thinks but its still crap . I had when it was still a little new. I had tested and sold it back before people started making too much and got cheaper. Its better to use ice if like your current is af staff. skill is better but compared to equipment i use int plus 12 is better than the int4 and skill by far. but use what you want.

does anyone want to take care of this one for me?


Not a single blm at lv75 has said that at any point int is better than Elemental skill. Take that as you want, but I'll trust them.

Plus, when I got my AF gloves (+15 elemental skill), I noticed a DRASTIC decrease in resists, and an increase in the damage cap for most spells. I'd rather have less resists and less damage than more resists and more damage.

this is wrong in so many ways.

[Arguile]

I got my Ice Staff at 51. From lvl 50-51 (Helm beetles). And then from lvl 51-53 (helm beetles).

And my spells were resisted 50% less. 50%!!! This is not a joke or something to laugh at. That +10 elemental skill made my spells land 50% more then they would when i was using a Lilith Rod.

And ANY blm who tells you INT is more important then Elemental is a moron. I'm sorry, but a complete and utter moron who should go play a melee class.

What does it matter if your INT is ridiculously high when:

"Casts Stone III." - *Monster X takes 50 damage*. (When it should do 350+ damage)

WOW, you have amazing INT but your spells get resisted moron. And INT does not affect elemental resistances.

So stop feeding new players bad info.

[Cloud Tiamat]

It doesn't?

Then what exactly does it affect?

[riceburner4540]

it affects damage...seems to be about +1 damage per point, but has diminishing returns...or spells have caps. i cast stone for 53 damage...after lowering my int by 6 points, i still do 53 damage (to too weak). there's another thread around here that discusses int and elemental skills. the conclusion is that elemental skills has a large affect on resistances while int has much less...(or none?).

Thank god I'm not on Midgard...

agreed.

on siren:
ice staff - 500k
dark staff - 700-750k
black cloak - 90-100k
elemental torque - 80-100k

[Cloud Tiamat]

Then how does Magic Attack Bonuses traits affect damage/resistance?

[Stokes]

5.2mil? where are you buying?
Black Cloak - 600k
Ice staff - 900k
Dark Staff 1200k
Elemental Torque - 400k

seems to be 3.1M to me =\ (i'm on mid too)

[AtraposBLM]

I haven't played in a week (spring break, no disc at home), so I was quoting prices as I had checked them last week. Guess they've finally started the eventual plummit I was waiting for :biggrin:

*does the taru happy dance*

thanks stokes, you made my day :P

I hope by the time I start farming (sometime next week after I max out the sub) they drop even more, and I'll only need ~2 million for everything :P

[Stokes]

=D This weekend i'm gonna farm most of the day away. Hopefully I can afford an Ice Staff by the end of it :D

[AtraposBLM]

you wanna do some group farming ? I'll be around most likely. Maybe we could hit up Morion or something :P

[LoneWolfy]

lol you people cant read i didnt say int is always better than skill. sometimes it is if the skill is low by comparison. But... I wont bother anymore I had a Ice staff long time ago when it just came out then I sold it because it sucks. Everyone thinks its good becuase of skill element but doesnt bother to test it out against other things. My blm is 74. Also every blm at past 72 I think will also agree that magic is stronger with errant shirt and AF hat than blm cloak. INT does matter. Reread my other post becuase you are blind. Dont act like you know if you dont even have one. INT IS BETTER THAN SKILL SOMETIMES. If you want me to prove you wrong give me tell in game

this is zoey on rag

[Taga]

+10 elemental skill and +4 int is better than the +8 int wand ON *ITs*. I don't care what you say, I know this for a fact. I know because I've tested them both extensively. Not sure about that +10 Int wand since it costs a few million on fenrir, I haven't tested it.

If you are fighting VT or T like you usually do later on (level 72-75) I'd venture to say that +10 INT is better because you see less resists. Leveling up from 51-68 I can safely say that I've been multiple times more efficient with my mp using the Ice Staff. Plus the 10% increase on ice spells is very nice for magic burst. (that's around 70-130 damage with blizzard or blizzardga 3... an extra 6 int does not even come close to comparision to a 10% increase).

[LoneWolfy]

lol
when did 12 = 8

Check with some of the JPs on midgard that you've become friendly with that can crack you a deal w/ the JP market. JP don't do all high end transactions through the bazaar at those prices, i.e. morion earrings +1 or decently priced crafting items due to their quick transactions. Bazaars during JP prime time = deals and profit!
