Aeolian Edge

Looking for thoughts on a optimal set for a few things I would like to goof off on with this ws.

Thank you Bryth~!

I'm guessing tessera saio over charis body in that set.

Thaumas hat... and magic atk Thokcha!!

Yeah, Tessera would be better. Use Furin Obi if you have Windstorm or it's Windsday.

Thaumas is worse than Chimera Hairpin. Also, the MAtk Thokcha is worse.

Outside of the Mab rings from gold farming... what would be next? My luck on augments from there sucks... Last good augment was refresh hairpin that was ninjad by a friend

If you have COR and don't have Tessera, your QD Mirke works for AE too and should be better than Charis Body.

Smiting blow atma for tp bonus and and thokcha magic atk will win...

How do you figure?

One tp bonus dagger + smiting blow +100 tp =300tp.... and it opens a slot for 11 more magic attack... combined with hells guardian and/or ultimate...

Actually I apologize I'm assuming your in abyssea..

Or you could do two TP Bonus daggers and use 30+ magic attack bonus atmas....

I use two Icesoul rings, not sure if maybe Thundersouls would be better or if there's much of a difference at all. I have had terrible luck with those augmented rings too, the only one I ever saw was accidentally NPC'd with the rest of the junk ones after a long night of box farming.

hello reap cats !! how are u and question's why do you need a aeolian edge set . cleave in aby? so what's new for your dnc ? :)

Don't have DNC high leveled yet. But I do use this WS for my BST while I wait for NMs to pop. What is the ELE modifier for this WS again please??

magic attack and wind elemental IN abyssea

Sup Haorhu... Not for abyssea, Have a few things imma try to epic fail on outside if it works I will let ya know.. Otherwise I will keep my fool mouth shut :P

so not better try get some evi-phyrric set for deal more dmg ? sorry im french cant understand evrything you say maybe with google traduction !! but for now sleep and some guys was drunk broke my computer screen so i have to buy new computer :(

To answer your question, yeah, DNC is actually a pretty strong solo-cleaver in Abyssea. 2k is not at all unattainable for Aeolian Edge.

It's not going to impress you that much if you're used to Fell Cleave or Charged Whisker, but DNC is a not-spectacularly-distant third and is at least a little more independent than WAR for this.

Almost forgot: Furin Obi; have your mule/support keep Windstorm on you

I made a Centovente and i'm working on another +100TP dagger which is about halfway done so far. So far i'm really happy with making this dagger, its a great toy to cleave frogs or other things when trying to cap parry since the update.

It looks like I might as well stop progressing on the 2nd dagger after trial 2305 since you cant have 2 Centovente, but stopping at a Fusetto+2 on the 2nd one gives you +100TP on a second dagger. For some reason the final dagger on this path still has a rare tag on it /sigh

I'm looking into farming other pop items for other empy's. Thank you

As aeolian edge is elemental, so benefit from magic boost, I would bet in:

Main: Vanir Knife
Offhand: TP bonus magian knife?
Ammo: Dosis tathlum
Neck: Stocheion medal
Ear: Crematio, Novio or moonshade with TP bonus
Ring: Demon Ring MAB+3 x2
Back: Toro cape
Legs: Iuitl Tights +1
Feet: Qaaxo leggings with MAB augment
Head: Umbani cap
Body: ?
Waist: ?

An alternative to umbani cap is wayfarer circlet, which is a lot easier to get. wayfarer robe should beat tessera saio for body, and for waist I think someone mentioned using an Obi and getting someone to cast Windstorm on you.

And to answer my own question that I edited out, magic damage does seem to affect Aeolian Edge, Drayco made a post on vanir knife about a test with it. Cool!

Seekers gave us some nice mab options that you can easily snag off the AH (toro cape/friomisi earring) or get with bayld (shneddick tights). Also wayfarer set has a couple ilevel pieces with mab and dex/int piled on them for some entry level options.

Theres enough stat inflation on head/body/leg/hand/feet armor that relic/af reforged will also feed the dex/int modifiers a decent amount, but you also want +mab, especially in your accessory slots.

Ideally for some serious long term cleaving you want a tp bonus dagger (because the fTP goes is 2.75/3.5/4 for 100/200/300tp) and appropriate wind/mab atma.

Its very easy to finetune AE sets since the damage you deal is very stable, so you can swap a gearpiece for another if you arent sure which to use, and see the difference easily if you ws at the same tp amount.

I havent cleaved in awhile, but this is the set i'd make based on all the latest gear I own at the moment.
I have both a +100tp and +10%wsd magian dagger for this.
ItemSet 321748

Qaaxo Leggings C-path are better than Horos feet +1 (MAB+15).

Would be pretty hardcore though, to spend 6 mils on airlixirs to add 50damage to an AE set.

But you're right, they are better.

Can also use the feet for wildfire.

And actually, as you need 7 airlixir+2 to cap, you actually would need 13,6m. Or 700k plasm. Or 4~5 tojil wins supose you win the lots for +2.
