Endgame Activities

[Greylynx]

I am working my way through the upper 60's now, and am starting to think about endgame. Since I have never done any of it before, I wanted to ask my fellow dragoons for some direction. Here are my thoughts so far:

1) Dynamis. Probabally my first choice. I am not too impressed with the relic armor but it would be fun to collect anyway. My only question regarding this is how often the armor drops. Will I be doing dynamis for 6 months or 6 years before I complete the relic armor?

2) Limbus. Don't know anything about this..... is it worth doing?

3) HNMLS. No. Don't have the time or the energy for a second job. Applications, interviews, required attendance, required times.... I don't know why people do it.

4) Salvage. Seems like DRG is a great job for salvage, but the big rewards (read: Ares Set) is to hard to obtain near as I can tell. Anything else a DRG can get from this? As a side benefit I assume salvage LSes do Assaults, which I enjoy doing.

I know as a DRG I might have a hard time getting into a LS for these things, but I'm not worried about that right now. Assuming that I can do all these things, which ones have you all had fun and success with?

Seeing as how you're a dragoon, you won't have that much competition for drops. However, drop rates in dynamis are very rare. You could end up with as many as 10 drops in one session, or not get anything at all.

2) Limbus. Don't know anything about this..... is it worth doing?

Limbus, IMO, is worth it. You can obtain your AF + 1 here among other great equips ( brutal earring, boxer's mantle, loquacious earring, etc. ) I got my loquacious earring there and I haven't taken it off ever since I got it.

3) HNMLS. No. Don't have the time or the energy for a second job. Applications, interviews, required attendance, required times.... I don't know why people do it.

I feel the same way. It's too much time and energy, and I really don't think I'm going to get much from hunting sky gods when I already have most of the equipment I need.

4) Salvage. Seems like DRG is a great job for salvage, but the big rewards (read: Ares Set) is to hard to obtain near as I can tell. Anything else a DRG can get from this? As a side benefit I assume salvage LSes do Assaults, which I enjoy doing.

Don't know too much about salvage, but as far as I know, it will take you a very long time to obtain something here. I still don't know anybody on seraph with a piece of Morrigans.

I know as a DRG I might have a hard time getting into a LS for these things, but I'm not worried about that right now. Assuming that I can do all these things, which ones have you all had fun and success with?

I personally think you'd have a really fun time with limbus though. It requires at least a party, and doesn't take that much organization, as opposed to HNMls activities. Me and my friends formed a limbus linkshell, and we've been getting about 10 ancienct beastcoins per run. Not only can you put them toward your AF+1, but you can sell them for nice money ( 30k per ). Only thing though is that you need sea access, so I would suggest getting a good static before you worry about limbus.

Re: Endgame Activities

Just wanted to add something about limbus. Homam set. It has some pretty nice pieces for drg.

Re: Endgame Activities

Ares set is freaking amazing for DRG, but good luck getting your hands on even one piece >. <

Still, Salvage is a very fun mini-game. As for Dynamis, I'd at least try to get the helm and body armor. The helm powers up your breaths considerably, and the body grants your wyvern your sub job abilities (go go wyvern berserk!)

I don't wanna get off topic, but I thought the body granted your wyvern one of your job traits (i.e. Double Attack or Attack Bonus), how would it get Berserk?

Re: Endgame Activities

It doesnt.

According to this its as Malacite put it. Your Wyvern gains your support job abilties therefore if you are /war your wyvern will get Berserk etc.

Re: Endgame Activities

Whoah this is very interesting, I always thought DRG end-game activities only involved standing in a crewded areas wearing the pimpest gear and try to look pretty while running around.

Unless of course that only applied to this one DRG I've known for a really long time.

Re: Endgame Activities

It adds double attack to wyvern with war sub.

[Sevv]

Re: Endgame Activities

it adds sub job traits not abilities so no berserk defender etc. double attack etc.

Drg is fun in endgame i do every activity, i only advise you have /whm, /blu, /sam , /war , /thf all done. i know ppl may go O.o /blu if you do limbus with a small group head butt spam can really help a run go alot smoother.

Re: Endgame Activities

Actually Double Attack is a Job trait as it is always active.

[Skoal]

Re: Endgame Activities

I think the armor should read "adds support job..................abilities". Meaning it adds abilities of a support job not the actual support job "Job Abilities".

[Aeolus]

Re: Endgame Activities

Its should just read adds support job traits seens as thats what you guys are all saying it does lol.

Re: Endgame Activities

Myself personally, I plan on doing Dynamis, Limbus, and Salvage.

Dynamis I mostly want a Gugnir, I have all the none rare/ex upgrade pieces and I'm working on acquiring currency now. Heck, I've been gathering upgrade items for it whenever I had the spare gil since I was a lvl 37 drg, am I insane? Probably

Limbus, I mostly want the AF+1, although the Brutal earring, and some of the other stuff look really nice as well, and when I say nice I mean /drool AF+1 interests me for the nice job ability/trait boosts it gives us with the nice +stat boosts, looks like a nice well balanced set of armor.

Salvage, I want Ares, I don't really care how long it takes, but the Ares armor looks to be better than the Hecatomb armor, and honestly how long would it take me to get a full set of Hecatomb? I'd much rather have the Ares armor, get auto refresh, get a Etheral earring, and become unkillable while soloing, not to mention all of the +str/att/vit/acc/double attack on it all.


Salvage and Dynamis I don't expect you to have too much trouble getting a LS for. I know alot of people interested in Salvage and even though I'm lvl 67 I get some pressure to join a few Dynamis shells from people I know every now and then.

Limbus I honestly have no idea on. As I understand it though some of the mobs have different weaknesses. I can't remember everything that a LS mate told me, but it sounds like you either want a Bourdanesse Lance (blunt damage) or you want fully leveled staff skill and a kickass staff for some of the fights in there.

Re: Endgame Activities

Seems like you're on the right track for your endgame plans. But just a couple of things:

- Linbus is very worthy of a DRG's time. However, seriously consider a extra job for CoPs. DRG can hold its own here, but if you wish to get sea quickly, its best to be flexible and having more jobs at your disposal will help. It will aid you in getting CoP groups. Just be sure to pick a second job you like.

- Avoid sky. Nothing worthwhile for DRG from sky gods. Sky is a big, broken mess in endgame, overrun with RMT. Fighting Kirin is fun, but routine after the third time anyway.
