Quickest Sparks in RoEFollow

#1 Jan 24 2014 at 10:23 PM Rating: Decent
I'm a returning player looking to jump right into RoE. Anyone have any advice on the quickest way to do this? I have multiple 99's with good gear.

Thanks!

imo Typical Abyssea DD setup on worms.

I used DNC and just did the 500DMG one. Got The EmSword and EmWand swapped to RDM/NIN. And basically bought all the Emstuff.

Quickest way, at least in my opinion, is really just to grind out the repeatable ones that ask you to do X amount of damage per hit, Y amount of times. If you get one of the stronger melee DD, such a War or Drk or something, where their melee hits alone are likely to be high enough to inflict that damage, you can breeze through that quickly, and then just continue with it. Likewise, do ones that could potentially overlap with that one, since I know there are a couple non-repeatables that require similar actions to complete.

You get a one time spark bonus as well the first time you complete an objective. All of the kill 10 mobs in a zone are really quick to knock out, since it doesn't matter if they are too weak or not. I would save a mage job would be ideal since you can cast stone a lot faster than drawing your weapon.

Another alternative is to pick a job you don't yet have levelled and spend a week or so getting it around lvl 70-75 with trust NPCs.
(Maybe even less then that if you have more play time.)
By then you would have capped sparks and can buy pretty much anything.
Checking what mobs your fighting (which will always be EP) and what crystals they drop is good for opening crystal specific tasks while repeating regional based tasks at the same time is good too.
It's not the ultimate-super-duper way but if your a person that likes to complete lots of different tasks at the same time rather then just grinding sparks then this is for you.

Saying that, if you really don't want to level another job then rdmcandie has already came up with a good one:
Dual wield 2 different Eminence weapons and in Abyssea, you can equip RR atma that enables you to crit hit fairly often so if you can hit for over 500+ on each hand, it doesn't take very long to gain sparks that way.
I think if you can also use an AoE ws around multiple worms, that may count towards 500+ but I am unsure.

(But you need to have sparks already to be able to buy these weapons.)

If you have a mage job then you can gather a bunch of abby mobs and use -aga spells on them. They will do over 500+ damage on multiple mobs. This will also work on mobs outside of abby even if they do not give you any exp. So it's possible to train the whole area with Quadav and -aga them.

For better sparks, you should consider getting mobs that give exp and different kinds of crystals so you can get bonus from those too.

Monstrosity in Bubu with your level capped. Set zone kills, earth crystals, fire crystals, monstrosity kills, general kills, and then whatever else you think you could accomplish. But basically just get to 30 and munch through EPs on the east side of the zone.

AoE WS (at least Aeolian Edge) do work it is how I was generating most of my initial spark before my RDM could go Sword/Wand and just 500+ each swing.

Ah yes I thought so.
Then the correct atmas would be at least VV for regain, RR for crit hit rate and maybe apoc incase you die.
I was using circle blade recently and that seems to work too.

AoA also gives you triple attack +15%.

I would go with AoA, RR, and SS; personally. This will push almost every swing to above 500+ on any number of jobs with a large array of weapons.

If you are on a job with a low crit hit rate, you could swap SS for GH.

You can also swap out the Critical-related Atmas for multi-attack and attack speed Atmas, head to Abyssea - Tahrongi, and kill Bog Bodies (Qutrub). They take double damage like other Qutrub mobs.

Multi-attack ones like Apocalypse/Alpha and Omega would be good, but most likely anyone going in to melee would be at the gear haste cap already, and the Haste Atmas (like Omnipotent) count as gear haste, not magic or job ability haste.

This.

Thank you for this advice. I have never fought Qutrubs and didn't know this. Knocked out the last few sparks to +1 my body last night and this made light work of it.

Totally didn't think about those qutrubs. I was thinking about going after things like blunt weak mobs on MNK, but qutrubs would make it easy for damn near anyone to do it.

Yeah, it wasn't my first thought, either, as evidenced by my own post. If competition isn't an issue, I suspect it'd also trounce other options quite handily. Wondering if anyone's particularly done it and could give a rough estimate on individual completions. Running crudely off 240 delay and then 40% Haste, I get 10 minutes to land 250 hits at perfect ACC, but this obviously won't fly due to movement between mobs. I'd also be generally concerned they wouldn't respawn fast enough if you are landing 500+ a whack consecutively.

They respawn more then fast enough. I would say you're close about 15 mins or so to finish a round give or take. Non-crits were doing between 600 and 700 and crits above 1k with blu using main Buramenk'ah, off hand Eminent Scimitar, atmas were RR, apoc, MM. Could drop RR easy and prolong them a little, shouldn't have any problems hitting over 500 on just about any job with a weapon over item level 106.

So, basically 2.5 hours for 109 AF if starting from scratch. Can probably feel grindy after a while. x.x

Yeah the SKC fights are much faster, they aren't so hard and are pretty fun to. Even just doing normal would have a couple of pieces worth of seals after six runs. They recently added more items to the drops for those fights so shouting shouldn't be to hard to get a group up.

The SKCs are great. If you've got a solid group, doing the Difficult could also make the runs pretty profitable.
