For the sake of info on uk'uxkaj feet, some quick testing in brenner on enfeebling skill dependant enfeebs

(Set used grio no enfeeb aug, meoh grip, quartz+1, relic hat, incant torque, neptune pearl, enfeeb ear, empymbody, empymhand, glob ring, stik nq ring, amb cape mnd30 macc20 fc10, rumination sash, psycloth B)
Target: naked 2100 hume rng/nin

medium's sabots[mp45 mnd9 conmp5 curepot4]
Distract3: -106
Distract3 saboteur: -212
Poison2: 126/tic

uk'uxkaj boots[mnd8 haste2 snapshot2]
Distract3: -107
Distract3 saboteur: -211
Poison2: 127/tic


Note: skaoi would be an addition +2 skill over medium's

Note2: the sabo numbers are not a typo, uk won by 1 everytime but sabo distract mediums won by 1. The medium's sabo was exactly x2 of non sabo, ukuxkaj with sabo was short by 3.
Seems bonus from saboteur is independant of the "enhances enfeebling magic effect"

I'm gonna add these into the guide soon and redo the enfeeb section by type: but for reference here's max potency sets

Distract addle frazzle poison
ItemSet 346868
Staff enfeeb16 (and mnd for non poison)
Aptus enfeeb+2, best alternate for fraz/addle/dis is mnd4 ear, for poison just max macc ear (dignitary)
Legs pathB for mnd7 for dis/addle/fraz, technically path D would be better for poison
Cape: mnd30 macc20 fc10 dis/addle/fraz, int20 macc30 fc10 poison

ItemSet 346869
Hands --> empy119 for saboteur
staff mnd+20 taup, then go for macc
all chironic mnd+15 taup, then go for macc
Feet aug Mnd+8 haste2
Cape mnd30 macc20 fc10

(On the capes that 3rd aug fastcast doesn't really matter but it's the best of what's availible. Helps with recast on like slow, gravity, impact)

Keep in mind Quick Magic casts spells immediately and gearswaps will not be considered for potency. It is best used for spells that are not affected by potency.

Not sure about vanilla final fantasy, but when using Gearswap, this isn't actually true.

I'd consider it half true. My experience has been that Gearswap fails to swap in time for quick magic proc in laggy instanced zones, and it's not entirely clear to me why. The chunks must somehow be given different priorities or the order must be messed up or something.

I've witnessed this as well. It's a serious issue because an incorrectly handled quick magic proc can often be very detrimental (fewer Utsusemi shadows, bad gear, etc.)

Yeah I haven't had time this week because of work and crazy personal life stuff, but hopefully I can clean stuff up and add things this weekend. I haven't touched the guide since Monday so feel free to PM me with fixes and such. Boshi can make edits as well.

Hi, I have a question.
For some unknown reason, RDM is not on the eminent staff so they just do massively less damage than any other mage until they get the griovolr staff.

However, Griovolr is from a NM that's probably out of reach for someone just returning.

What good nuking weapon should a new player/returning RDM try to obtain?

Arasy staff is just AH gear.

It also requires 50 job points to equip.

Get the WKR Club for an easy cure potency weapon.

Lehbrailg +2 is probably the best 119 staff you can get solo if you're below 50JP and don't have access to Delve. You can get a Kupon for it from completing Records of Eminence quests on Intermediate. If you chose the sword or something else, you'll have to use the Eminent Club until you get a better weapon.

I'll add it to the guide a little later.

No.

Have only done up to the 1-11 ROE mission.

Get the WKR clears so you can get a Tamaxchi for your Cure Potency set. Work on Delve and Skirmish so you can get some items from there for everything else.
