I tried to do some xp on rng in dyna beau for the feet, but couldnt find any DC beastmen mobs. Are there any in the zone, or are all the beastmen EP?
Also.. given that I really am not accustomed to having to be in melee range on rng.. could I get some advise on possible non-NNI gear I could/should use?
When meleeing on Ranger I use:
zelus tiara 8%
Thaumas coat 4%
Byakko's haidate 5%
Eurus' ledelsens 4%
Twilight belt 7%
This puts me well over the cap. It's not a perfect set by any means and I could probably shuffle some pieces around to make it more efficient; however, considering I only melee doing my own thing and inside Abyssea (circumstances permitting) I haven't put an awful lot of effort into it.
You can replace the body's haste with Brego Gloves to stay at cap if you don't have a Thaumas Coat. I wouldn't recommend meleeing for TP without a fast form of TP; Mercurial Kris, Ridill, Kraken Club, etc. You'll kill quicker shooting without a fast form of TP gain.
