So, I was apparently one of the 250 and now have Sagasinger.



Aw ****, I didn't expect to actually win anything.

I'd sell it. Chances are the price will drop eventually, and/or SE will add alternate places to win it. You can make a cool 10 mil now and rebuy it back for a tenth of it when your WHM is leveled.

Hell, WHM was my first job to 75 and one of the first to 99 and one of the few jobs I routinely play, and I'd sell it.

You meant that, right? Or are there no easy prey bombs in Legion?

Funny related story --

Not too long ago, I got blown the @#%^ up by a Nightmare Cluster in Dynamis Tavnazia... *with* Sacrosanctity on. It still did around 3-4k damage, easy 1-shot to the whole group, and that's around the kind of damage I've seen these things do before without Sacrosanctity. I am absolutely certain Sacrosanctity was still up and did not get taken down by some other sort of attack (there were no messages in the log ever saying it wore off).

The only way I could see that kind of thing happening is that whatever sort of Self Destruct I got hit with was not treated as magic damage, but probably some sort of "special" damage similar to what Spirits Within does. I know clusters have at least two different kinds; for instance there's the one that kerplodes the whole cluster and one that just kerplodes one bomb in the cluster.

Point to all this is, it's possible that whatever Self Destruct is killing your Aegis-user might actually not be magical damage >_>


Edit: I actually took a screenshot of this event because I was so flabbergasted by it at the time. Gonna go find/upload it...

Here it is.

MDB (Sacrosanctity) doesn't affect all kinds of magic damage. Specifically, it doesn't affect breath damage. Bomb explosion damage is based on monster HP, so it's possible it's technically classified as breath damage. Aegis doesn't affect breath damage, so that would explain that as well.

Ark Scythe (I don't like that the camera doesn't work right to see yourself up close), moogle suit, silly pink orb.


Yep, sell it. I got a Percolator the week it was new and sold it for a million. If ever I do feel the need to skill up Kenbishi faster (and magic is already capped), they're down to 250k now. Rare drop stuff is generally going to be more expensive early on, as long as the event is being done.


EDIT: something awesome: 1) use ark scythe 2) fly onto a Galka's shoulder 3) RULE BARTERTOWN

Well, there's the problem of, at least on my server though I imagine the same is true on others, where it's just impossible to actually sell marrows for a decent price. People are going in and farming them to sell them, but there's not enough people wanting to buy them, either because the people selling them are trying to sell them for too much or the people needing them would rather farm them from a shell.

I picked Arise mainly because my WHM will be 99 LONG before I ever fight Provenance Watcher, let alone get the drop from it.

Some of us don't pick our items based on how much gil they'll make us.

The point is that (according to FFXIAH), Arise is roughly 10-25m on most servers, with marrows being roughly 15-20m. That means you would only need to sell 2 marrows at most to be able to afford arise, and still have 3 marrows to make 45-60m+ on. So in short it's:

Arise, or Arise and 45-60m+. See why the choice is a bit confusing to some now? Why wouldn't you want the scroll AND a boatload of money to go with it?

I didn't realize that Arise was EX, and the only way to get one into your inventory was from a PW drop. >.>

Exactly. Not to mention that with that much money, just sit on it for a few months and Arise will probably cost less.

Shorter weakness is nice, but not freaking dying in the first place is even better. (EDIT: or maybe using a freaking RR item before the fight!) I have no interest in this for my WHM, since I already have R3, and this is mostly a situational **** novelty spell.

At least you're being honest now

Stuff that costs 8 digits and up usually doesn't even go on the AH cuz you end up taking it up the *** from taxes (regardless of whether your stuff even sells or not). You gotta check shouts and bazaars for that kind of stuff
