After many duskorbs, I finally got a Blood Pact augment.

I used a Duskorb +1 and got...

!!!
BP damage +1
!!!

Exciting.

Then I used another and got BP Dmg +7.

Yay.

So basically Helios is best in slot for everything now. Yay! I've always wanted to redo all of my sets with random augment gear. I was so sad when I didn't have any more Hagondes to make.

... I'm going back to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate now.

Edit: I'm done, dropped Nirvana, calling GM to ban my account.

Bye felicia

Not sure body can be better than 11% BP damage, it might if you factor like 8% BP damage and 20MAB maybe?
But Feet and Body helios are the weakest of the group.

Hands, Head and especially Legs on the other hand are quite insane...
Too bad for the randomness of augments sigh.

I dont suport this, but you could just sell your account. At least could make some real cash money.

I just see this as, idk... waste?

At what point did you think Hagondes would be the ultimate gear for smn. This why i tell ppl to just try to get good enough stats with +1 stones. :/

This is an mmo, nothing is liable to be future proof.

I'm curious if a pair of Hagondes Sabots with a total Pet: MAB+50 beats new Helios Boots with BP: Damage+7 Pet: MAB+25 Double Attack+8 for Flaming Crush. Using those Helios stats since there haven't been any reported higher numbers.

Tbf, i would be perfectly fine if i needed just to augment stuffs. Augmenting is actually just a test of pocket. The more cash you produces everyday, more trivial is buying stones. Better yet, just farm your own stones.

People cant forget some progress was done to reduce the random factor and, while still small improvement, at least now we have some control what stats will be rolled, what stones will drop, and what stat to erase or not, so the new system is better than first, second and third skirmish.

Honestly what i cant stand more are those mythic quests. Farming tokens everyday is driving me crazy. I want to do new skirmish, but stupid npc always says i have 4 tags, and thats 2,5h just doing that ***...

Well I didn't play the game because I was expecting some financial gain. I played because I enjoyed it and so I got what I payed for.

I never expected Hagondes to last forever, I'm just bored of the random augment grind. I'm not upset, I just don't really care any more and there's no point in playing if I'm not having fun.

MAB aug was off a +1 stone (followed by a 10, then a 5...)
BP dmg was off a NQ Dusk (My +2 gave me a whole +9 CHR ftw!).
And Crit was off a +1, my +2 I think gave me a DA+8.

bye bye spurrina gages.

I wish the BP delay would be a new tier of BP delay rather than the old. Still pretty cool to have though.

You already tested that BP- delay to be BP1?
It might be BP2. Saying because Gifts say BP-5 hinting at BP1 whereas it's BP2.

I just got +4 BP damage augmented on the helios head peice.


Does anyone know if BP damage+ has a cap? Because if my math is correct, my gear all together (so far) adds up to +83 BP damage.

Nirvana = +40
Helios Band = +4
+1 Convoker's Doublet = +12
Conveyence Cape = +5
Helios gloves = +7
Helios spats = +6
+1 Convoker's Pigaches = +6
Esper Earring = +3

That's your total so far? Sick. I'm not sure if there is a hard cap to total BP Dmg. However, at the moment BP+7 seems like it may be the cap for augments on Helios items. I have not read anybody reporting higher than 7 yet. Therefore, the current max achievable may be BP+94.

Nirvana = +40
Helios Band = +7
Convoker's Doublet +1 = +12
Helios Gloves = +7
Helios Spats = +13
Helios Boots = +7
Conveyence Cape = +5
Esper Earring = +3

BTW those are some pretty sick augments so far, Lunareticc. :) With ideal augments, the Unity Ranking bonuses from Shomonjijoe +1 became immediately obsolete.

Getting the BP damage is the hard part. Getting the rest of it is quite easy (especially the leaforb augments). It's kinda rare and duskorbs are rare/expensive. It's just luck.

I'm still purposely passing on good Dbl.Atk. rolls. The crit rate should be far better and leaforbs are all over the place.

I have 3 conveyence capes right now. One with BPII-3, one with BPdmg+5, and one with an addition +5 skill. I'm going to try getting a higher skill on that last one, and then eventually ill try getting a decent augment with max BP dmg and skill. But for now im using 3 different ones for different reasons.

Yep. I'm really happy and I'm actually kind of scared that i'm going to turn into a monster smn lmao xD

A boon of blood.




All usable within the blood pact ward set, perfectly actually, sitting at 500 skill. If I was lacking skill, I could augment those with Duskorbs for summoning skill.

If you want to get fancy, you can use this to accomplish two things at once, and even save some more MP:



Or you could do this (proof of concept, really bad snow roll):



And, since everyone is posting their Flaming Crush sets, I suppose I'll share mine:



Am I doing it right?

Test server got taken down a while ago due to the shift into the new update schedule of once per month.

Thank you for your continued patronage of FINAL FANTASY XI and your constant vigilance in protecting the peace in Vana'diel.

After much deliberation, we have decided to suspend service of the test server, Undine.

While it has proven integral in connecting the development team with adventurers across the world, we have shifted focus since October of last year to providing more frequent version updates, regrettably rendering the test server neglected. Thus, on July 21, 2014, the test server shall be shut down for an indeterminate amount of time.

Your feedback is invaluable in keeping Vana'diel a treasured destination to which people have returned for over a decade. While this particular platform will not be accessible for some time, you may still let us know what you think about all things FINAL FANTASY XI via the official forums.

Happy adventuring, and may we all work together to ensure life in Vana'diel is as wonderful as possible for years to come.

With the new BP augments on armor, Balsam/Keraunos pulls up close again to Nirvana. I tested and they were literally 14 damage apart, Nirvana being higher, and I have a lot of BP dmg on my armor now.

If you can get a Keraunos with 121MATK+ or BP dmg then it should beat Nirvana for magical pacts. Nirvana should still have a lot more macc though.

Edit: Elemental Siphon is confirmed to Leaforbs, ONLY on Telchine.

Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation. I haven't been online to play for a while now, but at least I get to play vicariously through you guys.
