Mithra MNK questions! ^^

[Reisuki]

I'm an up and comming mithra MNK, lv18, who's currently loving the job! I do have a few questions that will be relevent to me when I am a higher level and I would appreciate other MNK's opinions on the subjects! ^^

1. I have sniper rings that were left to me by a good friend when he left the game (sob ;- and I was wondering what a Mithra MNK's accuracy is like from 40-75, also alternative equipment to use would be extremely helpful! ^^

2. I plan to Camp Ochudo's Kote (Groan) and all the other overpriced but useful items. Any tips on camping? ^^

3. Purple & Brown Belt quest. I know the basics and where to go for this quest, any tips on this quest? ^^

Also any general tips from Mithra MNKs on playing style and such would be wonderful!

Thanks! ^^

1. In general, there's never enough acc unless u are with a brd in your PT. I've heard a lot of ppl saying "before level xx mnks can hit fine w/o acc problem" which I find it's incorrect because the more acc u have, the better your overall dmg is. I've been playin my mnk with a brd in my static PT since lv18, and all I can tell you is that I can still use more acc if i can boost it further. So, please don't listen to others ppl claiming that u won't need a lot of acc till level 50 or whatever

2. SE changed where MD can pop if you don't know this already. It can pop anywhere in that room instead of just the platform. Also, always time the placeholders, always

3. For brown belt - I really recommend u to PT with the campers letting them know that u're here just for the quest items. Also, look around and see the job (and possibly level) of the campers around u, and pick the ones that seem to be more experienced to help u with.

For purple belt - Note that both Dodo skin and Nue fang are not 100% drop from the NMs so having thfs or /thf will help. Dodo is easy, it's like 1 hour repop. Nue, on the other hand, can takes hours before it can respawn so u'd want to avoid competition there (ie: go to glacier at odd times). For Molborger.....well, it's 21-24hrs repop, so your hardest part is to find out when it was killed.


I only have one tips for you, but it is very important - get a brd in your pt and you'll be a happy mnk

40-50 Was a very good time for my monk. No snipers, a balance ring and a Bastok ring, and I was out TPing the SAMs most of the time.

50-60 Slow times for Monk...accuracy still wasn't much of a problem. I opted for Strength rings and noticed an incredibly boost to power.

60-65 Where I am currently. If you're doing 200+ EXP chains, consider a sniper ring set. Even then, it won't help you as much as people seem to gear it to. I used a Lightning Ring (+15 accuracy on Lightning day) fighting Tormentors in Den of Rancor and only noticed a very slim increase in accuracy.

Originally, speedy provokes were needed for these. All I can say is gather a group of six dedicated party members to help you camp. Neither the Kote, Fuma Kyhan, or Jujitsu Gi drop often and often they are camped by others. More people = better chance.

Patience. Get the Morbolger Pop time, and take him out of the way first. Nue is about sevre patience (1 pop point, doesn't drop much), Dodo is about running (huge area to cover), and the rams are about luck

[Agrathorn]

I just recently did both belt quests.

Purple belt was really easy. People always camping the rams so i just asked around and pretty much all of them said if the rams spawned they would invite me and they did. Took me about 3 hours to get both horns.

As for the brown belt this one is more of a pain.

Morbolger took me 4 days before i finally pinned his time of death down then another 3 to finally claim him. He almost killed me though just barely won. He also gave me 32 exp.

Nue was easy since there wasnt anybody around. After killing the tigers for about 3 hours he finally spawned. Got the fang on my first try and he gave me 12 exp. Kill the doll's while you wait also cuz doll shards are going for like 30k a stack on my server.

Deadly Dodo was easy but took me 3 tries before he finally dropped the skin. Each time he gave me 17 exp though and was a long long long fight as pld since i hit like a little girl and he has a ton of HP's.

As far as Acc is concerned i know i'm not mithra but i havent had trouble hitting anything yet. I just use STR rings unless i'm missing more than usual or for high evasion mobs then i switch in dual snipers.
