all I got was a damned staff from the 3 after that -__-

I've gotten both the Staff and NQ knife 3 times now.
I *kind* of want an Asteria, for uh ... no reason.

On Exenterator in Dynamis

The optimal setup appears to be dependant on your main-hand weapon.
(all vs. Dynamis DC).


1.) For Twashtar level 90, Athos Tabard + Ocelomeh Headpiece +1 beats Toci + Ocelomeh +1 even with the set bonus.

....but at level 95 they're pretty much even. At level 99, Ocelomeh+Toci comes out ahead.

2.) For level 95 and below, Stormsoul x2 is clearly better than Stormsoul + Eponas.

But...at Twashtar 99, Stormsoul + Epona's is the way to go it seems.

Max reasonably obtainable exenterator atm vs. DC in dynamis (~436 defense) using Red Curry Buns.

1.) Body: Tarutaru should use Toci's. Everyone else should use Tabard unless you've Twashtar 99.

2.) Rings: Twashtar 99 should use Epona's.

3.) Earring: Auster's pearl beats Aesir, but Aesir beats drone. Auster's pearl is so incredibly rare that I don't consider it to be particularly 'reasonable' to obtain, at least on my server. This is probably true for a lot of servers. If it's not hard to get, then by all means.

For the record Sylow is right in saying that Athos's Set is reasonably obtainable. All you have to do to get it is to not be me. So that should make it very easy for you guys.

Well, I think Athos's Tabard is a lot more obtainable than Toci's. The drop rate appears to be very high.

Tabard <--> Toci's ---> Denali ---> Loki's

As far as obtainable things go at the moment. Everyone can get Loki's at least.

Yeah u-u I am stuck on Loki's for now. In a floor climb in nyzul coming up on 80 though so maybe I will get lucky on Denali. If not, then more voidwatch fun in my future lol.

I just feel lucky to be completely done with "necessary" items from currently released voidwatch and I've never bought a single voiddust.

I've more or less given up hope of getting any useful gear from voidwatch. The best I can hope for is a couple of plates now and then, as for actual gear, it just doesn't exist, at least not for me.

I figure that if I pretend I don't want/need any of this I may just get lucky on one of them before I cash in my pension.

Claim slips are going to be of fairly limited value for most drops. People who have the drops they want from a given NM tend to fight that NM less often afterwards, so the number of tickets entering the system will be significantly less than the number of actual drops entering the system aside from a handful of NMs that maintain their popularity due to HMPs (hello Qilin) or Riftdross/cinder. Even that's up in the air pending drops on upcoming VWNMs.

They basically picked the least useful way to implement a ticket system.

I know plenty of people who have gotten multiple Toci's while waiting for Dilarams, lol. So that one might actually work out!

I only got the sollerets a few weeks ago >_> Go figure. Minimal use for them at the moment though (Shun/Exenterator feet on NIN, woohoo), so wasn't really concerned about them. Debating picking up another job so I could theoretically get some use out of them depending on job and weapon choice, but meh.

I was hoping taking your spot in that alliance would make some of your luck in that run rub off on me..I've done qilin too many times to count and all I've ever gotten is junk ;o;

Have only done 30 or so Qilin and haven't seen boots yet...but have seen about 4 Lux lol...

In other news...I am loving Twashtar lol...hit a 6.6k on Ulhuadshi earlier and it got me all giddy (in b4 lolabysseadmg)

And speaking of Twash, does it get any hidden boosts later on? Or is that relic im thinking of?
