Ulthalam's ring is much better than Balrahn's ring. Magic accuracy is nice but there's better stuff I could use in its place.

Now if those INT and MND boosts weren't just in Assault/Salvage, then we're talking good. I'll take Ulthalam's ring any day.

You're complaining about a paltry 400-1000 gil for NPC storage? What do you spend this gil on? Smack?

No he was talking about having to pay for a mule to store gear for caps, if you aren't a seer's mage your probably not using a full gear set for cops.

That is ofcourse unless you are a bard or enfeebling on toau hnms, the macc ring is sexy as hell. Not too many things will actually out do that macc in terms of endgame.

Even if you are. There are definitely some parts of Seer's that are not useful for BLM or WHM, and other things I could put in their place. SE is laughing all the way to the bank though, I have six mules, so they know what they're doing.

I have a tremendous tendancy to level jobs that overlap. I used seer's for WHM in 30 caps, BLM in 40 and SCH in 50 caps. Granted, a little over two years ago, I actively used RDM and BRD as well, which crunched down my inventory a little more. But I put BRD to sleep after I finished CoPs on SCH. Goodbye BRD, I don't need you now muahahahahaha.

COR and RNG use Noct not only to AF level, but 30-50 caps until AF at 60 caps. Tremendous amount of overlap in gear.

I only have one mule, its mostly for the level capped bows and some mage gear for level caps, in addition to excess ammo storage. My inventory space on both characters is pretty open. I'm pretty much set on levelling compatible jobs with compatible gear, I've found it the mosts satisfying way to approach just about everything between my two characters.

Why, you sellin'?

It would be nice if NPCs allowed storage of incomplete sets of gear, or if I equipped(or even carried), whole sets, in my inventory or storage. But they don't, and I don't. So we're at an impasse.

Jailbait.

No no, you're thinking Nashmiera.

CS:
Nashmiera: "Zerlatik, you're my personal mercenary!"
*scrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeech*
Me: "Whoa! Time out. You're how old now? 16... hmm..."
/p "So, er, anyone here from the UK?"
Player 5: /p "Yo"
Me: /p "Great, trade me places. I'll be living vicariously through you for the rest of this CS".
"Please continue, Your Magnificence."


The rest of this CS did not go anywhere near as well as I'd hoped. I blame the utter lack of my tarutaru good looks and charm in the rest of the exchange.

Not to mention the inability to store anything HQ, which is a huge bummer for those of us who are elitists and have white box syndrome.

I think there is a cure for that illness

What secrets does this tumultuous age conceal?
Probably something to do with the Zilart.

{Yes, please.} I Zilart. Maybe we'll discover just how involved Odin was finally (after all, the Demons and Imps are his soldiers, not the Shadow Lord's. All we know is that the Shadow Lord travelled to Odin's realm to strike a deal with him and/or his men.)

That's what I want to see, CoP was hard as hell and I wouldn't want to do it again but it was also a hell of a lot of fucking FUN with a capital F U N.

If it was fun, why wouldn't you want to do it again?

Or do you just mean you wouldn't want to do *those specific* missions again but wouldn't mind another set of expansion missions with similar difficulty?

A lot of people seem to forget it now, but CoP was the way it was because people complained (rightly) about breezing through RoZ with high level characters. One of the best fights in CoP was the airship battle - capped at 60.


A nice side effect of level caps is that it equalizes gear somewhat. No destroyers, no abj gear, no k clubs or ridill - you wear what everyone else wears, or at most, HQ of what everyone else wears. This makes the fights more about having a good strategy and carrying it out, and less about having your level, merits and gear win for you. (Merits do still count some, which I think is a dumb idea because pretty much by definition non-75 content is not balanced for them, but they won't win the fight on their own.)

Re: Wings of the Goddess Missions! (05/09/2008)

I just meant the act of getting groups together to actually get through CoP. Once I had a good solid static it was fun and really pretty easy.

Thanks for the uncanny usage of spoiler tags. You dun good.

Re: Wings of the Goddess Missions! (05/09/2008)

IMO, The ToAU rings sucked. And I'm still wondering if there's some kind of hidden latent on the Glory Crown or if it's really just a sick joke on SE's part.

The assault clauses are certainly flavorful, but also seriously annoying. Zilart and CoP both offered far superior rewards. Maybe if they just removed the assault clauses and/or doubled the effects during assault (why not throw in besieged/salvage/etc too?) then they'd be great.

But as of now not one of the 3 rings (even the ranged one, hawt as it is) matches Suppa, Magnetic or Rajas. It'd be nice if when we beat WotG we got something different too, maybe a neck piece as opposed to another freaking ring or earring.


EDIT: And you're welcome Ameroth Most of that should be common knowledge anyway as it is or at least was at one point on the website. And if Odin being being in charge of the underwold is a shocker than perhaps people need to brush up on Norse Mythology and SE's tendency to warp various myths.

The rings effect in salvage like all assault items do iirc.

Re: Wings of the Goddess Missions! (05/09/2008)

That's nice. The mods still suck at least on the melee ring compared to Rajas' +5 Suble Blow Store TP DEX & STR all from lv 30+


Excuse me if I expected more of a lv 50 ring rewarded for completing another storyline. Then again, ToAU was like shooting fish in a barrel up until 42 and 44.
