In my personal DNC experience...I feel If I'm riding 200TP, I'm doing something wrong....which most of the times it's just half paying attention (youtube). Of course just varies on the situation...

If I'm just there DD'n yea I'm not doing it right riding 200TP

As for rudra....me personally I don't use it just at 300TP...
I did make the TP Bonus dagger so majority of mine are at 200%...
That's waste of TP let alone another WS...to wait until 200%(300% with TP bonus dagger) So I just do WS at 100%....

Since most of the time I'm on BRD for events haven't experimented with Exen...but the damage seems really promising.

Lol I'm not talking to you. You just don't get it. Sylow how much currency do you pull in with your duo buddy? I've been going with my thf friend and wanna know what we should be aiming for.
A lot.
Hooooooooow much is alot lol?
500+ at the minimum. Also how the *** do you just let yourself get 300 tp, I can maaaaaybe get 200 tp on ep mobs and that's without stepping or anything from the get go.

500? X.X
I run with a kannagi nin and a caladbolg pld and i still only pull in 200~250, unless we get lucky and get 100cc's

I have always wondered about dynamis, I usually can get proc's right off the bat, we pull 3~4 at a time and aeolian edge spam or cyclone spam til we get it. I guess this isn't really an effective way... soooooooooo help? lol

I might have to change my zone/tactics then since I consider 150-170 coins as a good run solo(true solo, no whm mule). If I could pull 250 a run I would probably just run a few days a week instead of everyday too lol...

so the real secret to farming is the location then, dreamlands are better i assume?

when i was on the exp trial for my legs i went into beauc, id only farm up 80~ currency but i was more focused on exp rather than kills, also the TE's are spread out widely so i assume thats also a factor, i hate the spread of TE's in beauc its just a time burner

Generally speaking you'll get more currency from dreamlands oppose to regular since proc types i based by time and mob type oppose to how the regular dyna zones are which are job specific...

So fighting all hippoghryphs just for JA procs gets more currency (and less annoying) out of say.....hunting for THF,NIN.MNK,RNG,etc


Now I still suck at dyna solo'n. I go on bst and highest I've ever gotten solo in dreamland is ~145. Of course only gone bout 5 times...so still newish at it but I have my routine down in the dunes...just the matter of competition....

I notice in most cases parties will go do DC while soloers are on EP. One thing that erks me a lil bit is when a part of like 3+ is taking all the EP stuff when they could go do DC but eh what can you do....

Yeah sometimes the zones are just too camped to do easy preys. I got 205 today solo...and i thought that was pretty good. You have to be lucky on your procs too...

I was so pissed when I saw 4% was possible just a few days after they patched it to be once-per-gameday. If someone ever posts a 5% pair, I'll kill them.

Asking cause not yet rdy for VW (by any means) and LS will be venturing into Abby soon (some of us already) and so just trying to optimize gear (currently 2/5 on +1 Empy armor)

Acc required to cap depends on the mob, but I never had issues at 90, so you shouldn't at 99. Pants change to Etoile +2 if you have them augmented and saber dance is up.

If you have capped-ish dagger skill don't even worry about acc. in gear. Just get 25~26 gear haste, cap haste samba, and take off oyonos knife once haste procs if you have something better.

Daggers are 9 from cap (and 7 into dagger merit)

Ya...got a pitiful 8% via gear atm. Hard to get into abby parties for paper cause noone wants to take a 99 dnc or mnk (though do have a 290 in staff for mnk so maybe more chances?)

You mean for seals? Start your own shout party. That's what I did for all mine. Still trying to convince people to do body papers but eh not too critical. I went dnc/sam and had a totally half-assed AH bought eva set and nothing could hit me. Could even solo if you wanted but I'd recommend /nin for that just in case.
