Reporting back and wanted to say thanks for the advice Shadowmeld/Buuki!

After doing the following my overall damage went up significantly and killspeed sped up a ton.

- Got Utu Grip (yay)

- Changed trust loadout to Shantotto 2/Joachim/Qultada/King of Hearts/Yoran (haven't made the change to Sylvie)

- Opened each fight with Ageha using a m.acc WS set to make sure the effect landed.


The combination of Utu Grip + Ageha's effect made my Fudos (and Shohas) hit a ton harder. None of my other gear changed. The 5 step wasn't killing a bat before, whereas now a 4 step of Ageha > Yukikaze > Shoha > Fudo is killing bats outright. Shantotto bursting in between definitely helps but my damage went up a ton.

Hard to believe the 1 piece of gear and the other small tweaks made that much of a difference but the proof is in the pudding I guess~

Pretty sure the Hierarchy of rings for Jinpu would be somewhere around Karieyh (+1)/Epam > Niqmaddu/Regal > Whatever MAB or high STR rings you can find. I have neither of the former so I stick to the middle two cuz im lazy af, but QA landing on Jinpu is a beautiful thing to see.

What about +1, is it strong enough to be used just like +2 (on WS at least)?

+2 is still a bit too expensive for me so got +1 for now.

Did anyone determine an answer to this?

Only works on WSs used with the bow, so not GK.

Angierus advices are solid, I would only recommend to use moondshade with tp bonus over brutal in WS set

worth noting that sakonji body also requires dyna-d -- specifically wave 1 boss kill in all four zones as a samurai

i'd recommend valorous body as a stepping stone before you delve into dyna-d unless you can afford to be brought in by a more experienced group (linkshell, maybe).

at first glance for racc set, earrings can be telos + enervating. telos is high-end content, but enervating is vagary which is easily doable with small groups.

if you're starving for accuracy, perhaps change str→agi on the ambuscade cape and 10stp vs the 10wsd
or, on second thought, make a new cape w/ the aforementioned stats since that one is probably your namas cape

i think there was some discussion on r.acc options a few pages back or another thread, but a lot of it boiled down to having volte gear which is annoyingly scarce (and also dyna-d).

edit: found the thread in question - Kingkitt makes a decent set for midshot.

You don't need an experienced linkshell or group to kill midboss, pugs do it all the time.

+2 the body for now, while trying for midboss clears.

Since you're going for a Ranged set, I'll posit that Cibitshavore is an excellent bow that also benefits your melee side.

Sure you don't get the WS from Yochi, but 12 STR and 7 STP is very nice.

+2 body is better than valorous and easier to obtain. Not to mention not having to play rng with oseem.

Who's glossing over it? +2 is easier to obtain, faster maybe not, but easier. I'd rather work towards bis and get a superior piece, +2, than get an at best sidegrade while having to rng augments.

Are you going to gloss over how shitty the augmenting process can be?

Yoichi isn't worth it, even with:
-5/5 Kenda+1 for high racc
-Hybrid WSD/RACC Gear(Acro/Valor)/ETC)
-Snapshot/Rapidshot Acro


I made mine to play around with and it was very underwhelming.

Stop making up arguments, I never said +2 was faster and I never said getting stones to augment were difficult.

They already need to get valorous head, hands, and feet + augments, they don't need a 4th that's only a sidegrade with perfect augments. Stop pushing the body.

i think he just wants a set bc he has the weapon and wants a reason to use it, probably

getting stones is trivial...

Why bring it up, twice?

Foxfire said: »
i guess we're gonna gloss over the possibility that they haven't entered all four zones yet and that's locked behind a timer of 60hrs/entry a second time

Implying time requirements.

I suggest you stop arguing on the internet and suggesting bad choices if you're tired.

i'm not sure if you're being dense on purpose or not

yes, i suggested it was easy, not that it was difficult. it's not a daunting process to augment a body if you can and—for some reason—don't have access to the better piece.

yes, i suggested it was time-gated, not that he should go out of his way to get valorous because of said restrictions. if he can, why not? if not, whatever.

Foxfire said: »
i'm not arguing whether or not it's better—just that if he can get it, there's no reason not to, while he meets the requirements for sakonji body. stones are a dime a dozen.

I'm done arguing that there's nothing wrong with alternatives and let you presume your intellectual superiority. That's my last post on this matter. I'll be deleting my previous posts, I don't want to keep adding onto this trainwreck on this thread.

Question regarding the Sam community guide on bgwiki, it list ryuo legs+feet for tp but doesn't mention aug path. Assuming it's either stp path or accuracy??
