Daggers - TrialsFollow

May I remind you guys again that Relics/Mythics do not work in the offhand. I don't think you guys have forgotten but just in case you haven't >.>
Also just because they changed the dark earring doesn't mean you could have both in your inventory at once, could you? It might have been that people /couldn't/ have them both at once (I really dk which is true)

Omg, I spent 20mins reading what you guys been talking about Mandau75 and Mandau80....
man, accept the fact that you will never spent twice the time to get 2 Mandau and upgrade one to 80.
And no one will... Anyone with Mandau is having multiple 75. Why on earth when you can get another weapon for another but Thf's twice!?

Mandau75 and 80 can be together at one person. Accept it or not!
Gzz...Read the name and sign, they are freaking same dagger and they are rare/ex!
If not, go get two /Parazoniumcans screenshot to prove your talks about diff dat file can be done percone toon.

Yeah, Chi, here in 日本　we would call your concern 関係無い。I would probably fund 4 relics on thief before I'd do one for another job. I'm a specialist, not a jack-of-all-trades ;/.

I must admit, the concept of Dual Wielding Mandau's is intriguing to me.



I hope he does go for it. He really has nothing to lose after all. If he is unable to get a second Mandau then trading a 10k byne bill will result in a failed transaction, and a 10k byne bill can always be resold. However if he IS able to get a second Mandau then he'll have one freakin spectacular dual wield.



That reminds me of something I never asked but had wanted to for a while. I know Mandau in the offhand won't grant mercy stroke, give triple damage procs or poison, or otherwise be anything more than damage/delay. But Mandau still has 20 attack and I'm pretty sure that's one of the "base" characteristics. It's probably common sense, but Mandau DOES still give you 20 attack if you wield it in the offhand right? I never bothered asking because up until now there would be no reason to even consider offhanding Mandau so it would be a moot point but it's a curiosity I've had for ages.



I'd spend my days farming for a second Mandau to dual wield if it was possible. Damage 43, Delay 176 attack + 25 main hand with damage 41, delay 176, attack + 20 offhand (via the first two trials)... hell YA I'd do that!! Mandau is still the best offhand dagger we could use under any circumstances. It's just that it's also the best main hand we could get up until now, so even with vajra there would be little reason to move it to the offhand.

Like Shamaya I prefer to channel a majority of my energies towards bettering my thief. I have a tarutaru character I spend time on to play around with mage jobs but it's just something I do as a change of pace and I'll never gear it to really high end standards. My main and strongest character will forever be Melphina's thief and dual wielding Mandau's is something I'd work towards. And it's not something beyond my capabilities with another few years. I don't have Mandau yet but that's because I invested in my skadi's set and HQ heca set (amongst other expensive items) first. I have no regrets because I really wanted them, but the next upgrade I'll be perusing is my Relic and I'm on track to finish it late this year/early next year. With my other really expensive items out of the way I could probably finish a second Mandau a few years down the road after that. I'd SO strive to do that if it was possible. I actually enjoy farming as well as crafting and have been farming for entertainment more and more as of late. That can add up fast (consider that an average of 100k profit a day is 36.5 million gil per year as a basic economic example) so I'd love to know if Dual Wielding Mandau's is possible. It's an intriguing concept for sure.

+attack on mandau only works when it's in main hand.
