Don't wanna look through info to make sure everything is right, but I can tell you right now that Jupiter's Staff > Thunder Staff and it's not +10 exact, only +10%. So... Jupiter's is +15%~

Re: Math Game... Max obtainable MAB.

If the goal is to do max damage, obi is not the way to go.
You need to equip penitent's rope and be lucky enough for the 3 effects (2 weather icons + day) to kick in.

Once again, tonberry hate has NOTHING to do with uggalepih pendant mab ;p

Re: Math Game... Max obtainable MAB.

Actually, of the items listed, Raiton Obi will produce the largest damage base damage boost of all under the correct conditions (Double Lightning weather + Lightningsday): +30%. Note that it does not stack with day/weather bonus, it simply makes those bonuses *consistent*.

I own a Suiton Obi (water), and it produces a tested 30% water spell damage boost under Squall weather on Watersday (Yuhtunga/Yhoator Jungle).

Then what DOES affect uggalepih pendant mab? out of curiosity...

Re: Math Game... Max obtainable MAB.

The obis don't provide *directly* MAB by themselves, day & weather do, and the obis are just the way for this MAB to kick in everytime. That's why they obviously are the best waist gear (DOT wise). But once again, if you're looking for max damage on one cast, then luck + penitent rope will provide that.

For Uggalepih pendant, the MAB is +8 (always). It has been tested several times (before and after resetting hate). This information can be found on allak/KI blm forums.

Re: Math Game... Max obtainable MAB.

The obvious thing you're leaving out (equip-wise) is Moldavite Earring.

But there's a few things I don't know about the mechanics of MAB:

Do staffs, day and weather count as MAB, or a separate multiplier that works independently of "real" MAB?

Is the magic burst damage bonus MAB or something else?

What is the numeric value of the MAB job traits?

Does MAB affect "magic" weaponskills (Gust Slash, Red Lotus Blade, Shadow of Death, Earth Crusher, etc.)? Do staffs, day and weather affect these?

Re: Math Game... Max obtainable MAB.

don't forget this little beauty:

Spirit Lantern

I've done several non-scientific/thorough tests and am pretty sure somepage is accurate with the +10 m.a.b. It's fairly easy to get, just keep doing the solo ENM every week and it'll eventually drop. ~.^

Also, if you're going max mab, don't forget HQ weskit. ;x
