Max Reward Sets And Pet Resistances
Max reward sets and pet resistances
Looking for a set that gives the maximum boost to reward with current gear, preferably one with and without khim bonnet as well as with and without body slot(af bodies for status yada yada). I did some looking around and it makes me sad to see most BST dont have a proper MND set for their BST's and looking through their item sets makes me sad. Also looking for if any pets are resistant to certain ailments (we all know about dipper and wind but any resistant to ice or lightning or such).
replace head with twilight helm, and body with af1/2 body depending on status, I don't use zoraal ja because it wipes TP from other weapons when you swap and that's just silly at this point

You really don't use Zoraal Ja's? That extra reward can save your life
My dream setup is the same as Socromon except I could see using Zoraal Ja's in a situation where you are not in there fighting it with your pet. Also, if you dont do Einherjar you can use Faith Torque. It has 5 MND also and you could get it without having to rely on an Alliance. Although I read that you'll need a good reward set to kill JoFaith lol

Bad BST is bad D:
Also MND unless you're REALLY fussy doesn't add that much tbh, only worth it if you have nothing else to waste the space on, myself I have 3 other 90ties, a 75 and leveling BLU, so.
MND also is a decreasing return, not increasing.
Zoraal x2 (or w/Pallas's shield if for some reason you wish to single wield) Ogre Gloves, Ferine Earring, Monster Gaiters, Khim or Bison Warbonnet and you're good. Replace any of those and you're just being silly.
Edit: @ Inu, need to suck it up and lose TP for Zoraal axes, 20% is a BIG difference. More so in NM fights.
With bst, if you're snarling properly, you should be in there wrecking the ***out of the mob WITH your pet. If the mob spams -aga4s and whatnot, perhaps not.

This is what I was referring to
Edit: Also, I dont have bst90, It's just at 60. I leveled it for fun pre-abyssea. I'm just going off of what I've read. I know that the Axes do add a ton to Reward tyvm

Or mobs like Amun who love to disable your job abilities at the worst possible times lol
Pretty much, or the random Murex who turns up at the worst possible moment.
@Inu you should of made that more obvious, lol I leveled my BST back in 2007-2008.

Only post-abyssea will you see ppl straining to add more MND+ gear for super-max reward, like me when i fail at soloing Gration :/

Bottle of dawn mulsum
A sweet drink often offered to the
Goddess, Altana. It is first mentioned
in the holy scripture in Trepidations IX.
"Ye cannot drink the cup of the
Goddess, and the cup of Daemons."
* Restores Pet HP. (35%)
Stackable: Not Stackable
Cooking (96?)
Yield: Dawn Mulsum
Ice Crystal
* Holy Water
* Grape Juice
* White Honey
Sakurawr, that's cool to see that. I did not know that existed. Of course I have not yet turned my attention to bst yet. Also, what's wrong with building as much mnd as you can to maximize Reward? Diminishing returns or not, it is a return.
1200 + 2*(MND-50) is a linear equation and how many fights have you won with your pet 1% in HP with a DoT on it dieing right after you deliver the last blow?

I got the White honey, can craft Mulsum any time :p
I don't use zoraal ja because i have guttler lol thanks for caring though
According to wiki it's 1200 + 4*(MND-50)... which even outside of abyssea should beat the muslum by a bit.

Unless Guttler has "Hidden effect: Reward +20%", it won't help you lol
But you left it outta your gear config conviently lol
Either way, go farm a couple axes, a bst with a Guttler wouldn't brag about using an incomplete reward set
And those with Guttlers should be using dual -pdt and swapping in dual Zoraal Jas.

/sigh
so sad to see....
bst needs 4 axes, 2x pdt, 2x reward. Working on mdb, not seeing much of a demand so far with mdb+5 on each.
Not sure i'd even want to do farsha, would mean i'd have to store tp and drop a pdt axe. Would also mean my pet would get hit for greater than 0.
My reward set uses Zeta and cures my rabbit for 35% of his health. 1540 hp usually. Its a little to potent for dipper, have to let dipper hit <9% usually so i don't break ducal guard. Anything in abyssea >50% pet health is waste.

You left out Evasion Axes. You shame BST.
Also, if your pet is getting hit for 0, why do you even need Reward sets?
Also, consider just, like, not equipping Reward+% stuff to maintain Ducal Guard, nowhere in the playbook does it say you need to use your max reward set every time.

Magic.
Only works for physical. ??? Needles is physical, can eat those all day long.
Also why evade when you get hit for 0?

Probably because Atmas don't exist in the entire game?
Also, having solid Evasion sets for Dippyattack means you can get DD atmas and kill faster on a lot of stuff.

I usually run DG/RR/Heavens, guess could swap heavens for more DD, not sure what i choose then GH maybe?

What's needed to hit the 100% on PDT? I haven't got around to making the second PDT axe, cause weather patterns have been terrible while I'm on.
Both Evasion axes took a day to complete, from start to finish though, I really recommend just going for it.

Pets don't get Cruor Buffs, so VV isn't a bad DD choice. Atma of the Stronghold is a solid bet, and GH is probably the best, for it's Evasion(AGI) and Critical BOnus.

PDT x2, shepherds neck(good luck on this), ferine legs+1, AMK head with dmg-10%. DG/Heavens. Haven't used Atma of the Zenith, i have tremors though. I've said in a diff post that Tremors is not -10%, Zenith and Tremors are both minor. Tremors is more like -5% dmg imo.
Also Heavens is either -11-12% or Stout/Ferine Legs+1 are more than -7%.
Edit:
Oh ya think Heavens and DG sometimes changes DG's proc to 60% health.
I've got everything but the Neck and Second PDT axe.
Not sure if I have Ducal Guard, how's that obtained? Is it one of the new Synthetics?

Ducal Guard is from Grauberg. Rank3 fame is the hardest part. Some dominion ops, a couple quests, kill a NM at the end of it all. NM might be a little much for bst solo, haven't tried.
