Carbuncle Perp Increase.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELVES

Now AV can't be deaded. ; -;

But seriously, I love all the new SMN stuff, kinda hoping maybe I'll get to go SMN more often. Also looking forward to the Lullaby +2 horn if the stupid NM ever pops, etc.

Yeah, there are a lot of nice features to this update. I never fight AV anyway. >.> Kinda sucks that horn is rare/ex... I love me some FoV augmenting. lol

I'm just especially bummed because my LS was going to try the SCH thing, etc. ._. I'm sad the Horn's rare/ex too, but I guess if a ton of people were camping it to sell that'd kinda suck. :<

*Nods.* I can see your point there. But, hey... At least we got a TON of new gear from NM's and crafting/synergy to keep people occupied. So, it should spread people camping out a bit. =)

That's sooo true. I want a lot of things too. Currently friend's continuing the Lullaby+2 horn search (we were up all night D:). It's especially sucky because no one knows what the placeholders are. There wasn't anyone there, so it's not overcamped just UGH.... (what was my point againg? <_<;)

Annyway, off the top of my head I'm interest in that, DNC!Heca, and the SMN belt (Q_Q STUPID 4/tic). New things make me angry and frustrated, but it's actually kinda fun and exciting. D:

XD You remind me of a friend of mine on Fairy. lol /comfort Good luck with the NM. =)

D: I'm going to take that as *good* because you said *friend*~ :3 Anyway thank you @__@; Not sure why I'm going so insane over the horn, but I want it, darnit! D:< Thanks for the luck! I will spawn it (sometime) and I will find out what does and how! D:<

*Cheers you on!* I'll probably be helping her with the horn as well. XD Sooo... If you wanna post any info you find about it or PM it to me... ^.~ ^.~ lol
And yes, it's a *good*. =D She's a great person and friend. =)

^^ Well I feel better! Ahaha. Once I find more information I'll let you know. (Maybe give you juicy exact details! :3) All I know so far is people have killed random hippogryphs and it's popped, or that they walked there and it was already popped. :x

Ixnay on hetay etailsday.... >.> Shuuush! lol :P Hope ya get it / find more details soon. =)

1. i think that with new -1 cost and yy robe carby should have a +2 MP while out if i was getting 1mp before update...

2. having diabolos out for 1 or 2mp per tick isnt so bad for a blm party in namis or something where you can give refresh(havnt been on so dont know if it stacks with other kinds or what) and magic atk/defense bonus.

I had a free Diablos + 1 tic of MP. Not sure if my gear had something to do with it, I do not have YY or Vermy. I did not have sanction refresh either.

Auto-Refresh from Job Abilities proc BEFORE perp costs.

Refresh from everthing else procs AFTER perp costs.

Thats why you won't get a +1 carby without having refresh on something.

Diabolo's Favor gives up to +3 refresh, which means if you can get him down to -4 perp before Diabolo's Favor, then you can get +1 Diabolos (-2 from the JA, and +3 from the Refresh).

Does anyone know if this got fixed?
:x Wondering if I should bother with Carby Mitts now.

Last maint should have fixed it, SE said they were fixing it.

I don't use Carby Mitts anymore because I can get free carby BEFORE the update.

Yes, it did. Tuesday, I believe.

>:) Nice! Back to SMN I think!

The over all census is good for Avatar's Favor . It is situational tho IMHO . While the -2 Perp is extremely nice and very very useful ,0 Perp cost with Day and weather from Relic Body and Head meaning adding a SCH for some storm effect would be gangster , but it comes as a Cost . It reduces Attack , both physical and magical by a staggering 30-50% depending on the attack in question .

I play on PS2 so i cant parse but i can watch the chat log and here wat i saw on EP-DC mobs in Cape terrigan as well as an outting with my LS in Sea farming Ix'DRG:

W/o Favor :

Carby Normal melee on EP-DC was 70-100 , Meteorite was doin its normal 400-550 with approx 100%TP . Poison Nails 200-300
Garuda Normal Melee was 90-120 , Predator Claws was doin 1k+ easy . Wind Blade Lv2 with approx. 100%TP doin 600-800 (varies by mob family ).

W/ Favor up :

Carby Normal Melee was 50-80 . Poison Nails was 180-220 . Meteorite 100%TP approx . ~300
Garuda Normal Melee 70-95 . Predator CLaws was doin 400-600 but usually didnt break 500 . Wind Blade Lv2 100%TP ~500 , but stayed in the 350-400 range .

In Sea on the VT-IT Aerns Garuda was Hitting for around 30-50 with Predator claws doin an abysmal 300-450 (yikes!!!) with Favor up compared to unknown Normal melee but Claws was easily Breakin 1k with an avg of around 950-1100 .

i had Diabolos out briefly to play with refreshing and DDing , with Favor up Netherblast was doin 460 or so , nothing to compare to so this is kinda useless info , but i was able to Refresh the BLMs and connect Netherblast , so thats cool right ?

I am not the most pimp SMN so to heres my merits and Gears in DMg set up when said BPs go off :

Garuda ; Karura Head , SMN Body , SMN Hands , AF Legs , SMN Feet , SMn Torque , SMn Earring , Insomnia Earring , HQ Staves , Evo Ring , Tamas ring , Hierarch Belt , Raptor+ strap , Astute Cape


Carby ; Walhara Head , YYR , Carby Mitts (uh duh?) , SMN Legs . everything else is the same .


Merits ; SumMag +3 (6 skill points) , Avatar Phys Atk +3 , Avatar Phys ACC +3 , Avatar MagAtk +2 , Avatar MaCC +2 , Wind Blade Lv2 .

i am sure you guys can figure this out but SumMag in gearz , non carby , is @ 320 , except on Garuda wich is 315 (no horn = no +5)



Over all i am impressed with Favor . It adds yet another facet for us SMN to own on , Giving the community yet another reason to hate us . And to all those Hating on AFB , they are just jealous thier jobs cant do that . its not our fault AFBPs dont have the same modifiers as -Aga Magic requiring 6+ BLMs to the job of ~3 SMN . i didnt hear anyone complain about it in Dynamis (Boom time wooooot!!!!!) . its not our fault ppl found a way to direct it twards gain 30k+ in 3 minutes every 2 hours .
So now we can : Deal good Phys DMG every 43-60 seconds , deal Decent Magic DMG every 43-60 seconds , Support the PT with Enhancing Magics , Healing Magic , and Avatar's Favor Bonuses . I think having a SMN and SCH in every BLM PT would be 6 man Ownage . anyone else agree ?

This.

There's nothing wrong with carby mitts right now. <_<

Carby mitts were broken right after that one update that gave us favor, but it's been fixed for a long time now.

Posting in a necro bump thread.

I saw it on the Recent Topics list, IDK why because apparently im the one that Necro Bumped. My apologies ^^
