Can't get anything... Awesome. We get a useless status potion made from the tail of an HNM. There better be one bomb ass poisonous sword or bolt or something somewhere or I'm pissed.

Re: New Alchemy Syntheses

I think I'm going to level Smithing and eat up all my Alchemy points above 60 since it's glaringly apparent that SE hates Alchemy....

You know that as soon as you lose those levels in Alchemy SE will do something awesome with it and you'll be kicking yourself.

Yes, I realize that... I'm going to go laugh at my puppet while it does emotes... Maybe that will cheer me up, and if not...

I'm going to Tavnazia to kick some Bunny ass for Wild Carrot...

Re: New Alchemy Syntheses

It seems that Pebbles has finished deciphering the DAT's. Here are the new daggers:

# Adder Jambiya (Dagger, Synthed)
Level 72 WAR, THF, PLD, DRK, BRD, RNG, SAM, NIN, DRG, COR, PUP
DMG:33 Delay:201 HP+15 Evasion+4
Enhances "Resist Poison" effect
Enhances "Resist Petrify" effect
Additional effect: Impairs evasion
# Adder Jambiya +1 (Dagger, Synthed)
Level 72 WAR, THF, PLD, DRK, BRD, RNG, SAM, NIN, DRG, COR, PUP
DMG:34 Delay:194 HP+20 Evasion+5
Enhances "Resist Poison" effect
Enhances "Resist Petrify" effect
Additional effect: Impairs evasion

... and the reagent dagger(s) ... [I don't know if HQ works in this synth]
# Khimaira Jambiya (Dagger, Synthed)
Level 72 WAR, THF, PLD, DRK, BRD, RNG, SAM, NIN, DRG, COR, PUP
DMG:33 Delay:201 HP+15 Evasion+4
# Amir Jambiya (Dagger, Synthed)
Level 72 WAR, THF, PLD, DRK, BRD, RNG, SAM, NIN, DRG, COR, PUP
DMG:34 Delay:194 HP+20 Evasion+5

This information was taken from Pebbles' DAT parse available here:

It is worthy of note that there are very few weapons that can compete with these daggers for THF's top slot. Among them:

Jambiya, Jambiya +1, Perseus Harpe, and Mandau

The damage code is excellent and takes the top spot over Latent-activated Blau Dolch. It also beats the damage code for Heart Snatcher's Latent, but obviously the Crit+ is still very nice on HS. I'm thinking this will be a staple in THF's end game blade selection and was intended to be so by SE. I'm much happier now that I've seen the dats.

Now I just need to figure out how to get enough Khimaira tail to HQ one...

Re: New Alchemy Syntheses

That's a pretty respectable looking dagger. Same damage rating as Blau Dolch albiet slightly higher delay. Whether it becomes highly sought after probably depends on whether the evasion down effect procs noticably, but you can definately say it's competitive. I'm disappointed I can't use it on my rdm.

Re: New Alchemy Syntheses

I'm assuming that the proc rates are the same as for the entire family of Alchemical weapons. The proc rate on the NQ is fairly low, but respectable enough to be useful, but the proc rate on the HQ is high enough to be very forceful. I'm assuming the effect cancels EVA+ moves by mobs in a similar way to Acid Bolts cancelling DEF+. I'm also hoping the effect accumulates.

The +1 is what we're going to be shooting for since it's end-game gear. The NQ is obviously a nice substitute for the very expensive pre-existing daggers. Blau Dolch (Latent Active) is weaker than the +1 and Perseus Harpe is only 0.05 DPS higher than Adder without the Res Poison+ and the Eva-, so technically speaking, Adder is better than Harpe. The only dagger that can touch it currently is the Relic Dagger, Mandau... and virtually no one has that.
