Re: HQed abjurations

No real relevance to who needs what more, highest bidder wins, only rules are a job that can use at the adequate level. We're on a silent bid system, too, so it all really a matter of how much you think its worth to you, no one can forcibly drain you of points for what you want in our group save for yourself.
If there is a huge difference, I'd love to know, but I'd think you're RNG would want Kote more since its much better than blood for RNG. I wish my COR could put her paws in those, those are a huge priority for my RNG.
I think for finanacial sanity I have to side with NQ Crims until I find a good reason otherwise. I'm not about gear e-peen, I do fine with what I have.
Ah, I'm not out to impress with HQ there then. There's no real tangible value in one more accuracy and 2 more MP to drop over a million in gil for it. That's gil I could use to stock ammo or start a MND build with.

you do realise for every job that gets a W leg over a pld or rdm you ls wastes a pair of w legs?

Re: HQed abjurations

a rng in my old ls swears by them he has both nq and hq lol (dropped nq ofcourse) but says there is a real boost in hq (not that i see it). And cor getting crimson legs is a pip dream omgwtfbbq the prioty on that will put cor near the bottom, for most ls. Pld, Rdm, Rng all above cor easy (yes i know you have a 75rng)

As with most high end crafting the NQ versions sell for way lower than the cost of the ingredients, this is why the cursed is so sickeningly cheap compared to the cursed -1. The effects of the NQ are also present on the HQ, the only real difference is the slight difference in stats and the HNM crowd e-peen value.

Also, yes, it's a one time combination with the abjuration. You either combine with cursed or cursed -1 and that's it.

Re: HQed abjurations

Now I do know the dragon affinity effect. I'm just curious if that is affected in this HQ as well or there is some other reason I should be having Bloods over Crims? Its this particular NPC synth a one-time deal? 20k for Crimson versus 1.2 mil for Bloods ... I think you can see the problem there.

Re: HQed abjurations

The synth to make Cursed Finger Gauntlets is level 93 Alchemy, with no support crafts required. So an alchemist with just one piece of guild gear can break Tier 11 on it.

If you wanted to get at least once piece of HQ god gear at some point, this looks like one of the more accessibly pieces. Many of the other cursed gear synths are stuck as Tier 0 synths (1% ~ 2% HQ rate), with very steep prices for the HQ as a result. The cost of the ingredients to make Cursed Finger Gauntlets also seems fairly low compared to other cursed gear.

I don't know about the difference between the NQ and the HQ performance wise. I'm guessing it's minimal, and that the main reason people would recommend the HQ is because of its relative accessibility.

Is the opportunity to show off a piece of HQ god gear worth 1 million gil? Only you can answer that.

My LS's latest venture into endgame has met quite a bit of success and thanks to that, I am now back in the gil and I'm more able to look over what I want for COR and RNG.

COR get priority, but since the current focus is sky and we have a lot of 360 kids that are excited to do it, COR stuff there is going to be done pretty fast, leaving stuff for my RNG to obtain. All the crimson abjuration pieces I'd care to have come from sky anyway. I want them mostly for the compatablity with RNG and it also being a good boost to COR/WHM when its needed. Plus since COR can't get striders, crim legs are next best thing.

People keep telling me I should get the Cursed Finger Gauntlets -1 for Blood Finger Gauntlets. I don't really see a major leap between the two, +1 more ranged attack and accuracy, +2 MP over Crimson. Meh.

Now I do know the dragon affinity effect. I'm just curious if that is affected in this HQ as well or there is some other reason I should be having Bloods over Crims? Its this particular NPC synth a one-time deal? 20k for Crimson versus 1.2 mil for Bloods ... I think you can see the problem there.

If there's no real advantage, then I'd rather invest my gil elsewhere because there is a LOT of other good things I could get right now for both RNG and COR. Dusk Trousers (finally), Hellfire +1 (finally), Breeze and Flame rings and stockpile lots and lots of silver and iron bullets.

I've never really been much for endgame til now, I've done it here and there, but never to this degree, so I'm just curious.
