SOA And Dancer

My wife has started playing again and she has a mix of Abyssea gear and VW gear. I was wondering what was the best way for her to go about getting the dagger from SOA. The dagger with 90(?) dmg ? Also should she consider getting the WOE ws for dagger so she can make a light sc? She really loves dancer and I think that she has made a good deal of friends thus far so getting carried could be possible if dnc sucks?

Thanks for your insight.

DNC is very much viable in SOA content. I play it myself, and it's VERY handy in Reives. Not only do you have decent damage output but you can also keep yourself alive as long as you don't have too many mobs come at you at once. Fan Dance can help in a pinch.

As for Rudra's Storm, if she wants it I'd say put in the effort and make a Twashtar, it really isn't that hard anymore, and you'll wind up with a weapon that you can truly feel you've earned. The Atoyac is nice, and I want one for myself, but the only issue I can see with it is that it's a knife, not a dagger, and has the increased delay to go with that designation (delay 200, as opposed to Lesilonu +1 having delay 183).

Best way to get her up to speed though, take her to Adoulin and get her out doing Colonization and Lair Reives in Ceizak, let her get a feel for how the Reives function. Build up her Bayld, and outfit her in the Shneddick (or possibly the Thurandaut +1 gear, I haven't parsed that stuff yet, probably won't as I spend my bayld on WKR these days) and have her get the Reive daggers for weapons. Once she's comfortable with how to keep herself alive in Reives, take her around to the various areas, get her Demolishing and Climbing and Watercrafting. Get a group of people together to do Skirmish on a regular basis, and get her two Lesilonu, then do Yorcia Skirmish to get her the +1s and some Iuitl gear. Once she has that, you can start taking her to WKR and she can get lots of bayld by killing the normal mobs that spawn. DNC should stay far, far away from the Wildskeepers themselves, as their TP moves can, and will, one-shot a DNC due to our lack of HP.

Ok so my Wife and I did SOA for about 5 hours today. Got her Logging and then we saw that we need Bayld so we did Revives. She has about 35k Bayld now and we had a lot of fun. She has unlocked most of the maps but she wants the dagger this THF had that attacks 2 times.

Camaraderie dagger

I looked it up and can find no info on how to obtain it.

Waterclimbing will be next so we can get into the Skirmish for armor. I did the Yorcia one today and finished my mnk set, 4 blm, was too easy lol ;/

Anyways.. thanks for the info~!




Bonus question

I did the Shark NM and got some nice loot. If she does the shark but doesn't really do much dmg does the loot pool differ for her compared to a pld who tanks the shark or a dps who really contributes? The dagger in thoe wildkeep place is quite amazing.

Have her start doing colonization reives in Ceizak. Also needs to do the quest for reive unity KI.

The +1 armor from bayld will be a decent start for what she needs, as well as the weapons from Craggy Bluff. Both of the NPCs are in the peacekeeper's guild.

She can farm bayld from different assignments to get the starter weapons and armor.

The only TP moves that one shot me on DNC are the ones that one-shot everyone. It's called a hybrid set. Everyone gets a decent one for basically free now from Skirmish II.

I came back for the update but all I've done is AFK and poke WKRs and stalk bazaars.

There is absolutely no point in making a Twashtar if you're unable to Ilevel it. Though that post was like a week ago, it's still bad advice.

You can gain the same sense of accomplishment by getting an Atoyac or Aphotic and eventually an Iziikoh(or however that's spelled).
If you just want Rudra's than the WoE path is the way to go. Can't really say how useful that is for Dnc currently or how it compares to Exenterator etc.

WoE path would probably be really fast if you two go as a duo and share coins and stuff.

Rudra's is definitely nice to have around. Although Twashtar is fairly useless even at 119.

Hey awesome info thanks a ton, I am trying to figure out how the peacekeepers coalition edification works.

I see you can only obtain certain items when

When Peacekeepers' Coalition has ? edification

and

When Peacekeepers' Coalition has the Second Floor edification.

Whats that mean exactly?

I see that you rank up as you do more missions but is the rank up instant or do you have to wait a full RL week? Is there a proper path to go as far as what to choose when doing assignments? Or they all contribute towards ranking up?

Thanks~

Sick so she can get that dagger that attacks twice!

Can't wait to play later with her. Never thought I'd play video games with my wife lol. Good times.
